That reminds me of my uncle who smokes multiple packs of cigarettes per day and never got cancer. The surgeon general is clearly lying and the warnings are clearly BS.
There's no reason they couldn't. Their chiplets are smaller than Apple's A-series SoCs and AMD sells a lot of six core CPUs so even if the defect density is still high they're not all that bad off since the likelihood of dead silicon is fairly low.
TSMC has to sell the capacity to someone and...
I fully understand that most people don't need, let alone want what I'm proposing but I want an 8+ drive NAS that serves media, backs up all of my devices, and can act as extra swap space for large video projects that spit out a lot of render files. Apple could easily sell additional cloud...
There were already announcements that tariffs would not be applied to GPUs. Just as the mining boom was winding down, the AI boom took its place. Neither Nvidia nor AMD make the best money from the gaming market, so don't expect them to cater to it, least of all the bottom of it.
At $400+ just to get more than 8 GB it's hardly worth buying a discrete card. If AMD had desktop Strix Halo class APUs available you could get something with a similar (or greater) shader count as a 9060 XT and as much RAM as you want to put in the system.
Obviously it's not the same RDNA 4...
I've long wished they would release an expandable home media server akin to their old Time Capsule router/NAS units.
They could probably use it as a way to get people to buy their cloud service as another backup layer on top of that all as well.
I've got a non-Apple solution doing some of...
I would not use AI to generate code for drivers. When you're that close to the metal it can be difficult to understand code you've previously written if you haven't looked at it in a year. Good luck understanding anything that the LLM has spit out. LLMs are also not capable of theorem proving...
I'm not sure that's the case. When you get to the high end of the silicon the power use starts to scale as a cube function as the voltage increase necessary for frequency increase becomes linear.
Even if the silicon were capable of the clock speeds necessary to give comparable performance I...
I think that's obvious which is also why I don't think it will hit 7700 XT performance levels.
Even 200W is more than this should ever draw. The estimated die size for Navi 44 is around 150 mm^2. Cooling it becomes more of an issue than powering it at a certain point.
It's going to need much more than that. The silicon may well be capable of it, but how many people want a 9060 XT that draws as much power as a 9070 XT?
Navi 44 has 32 CU based on all reliable information so far. That's the same as a 7600XT.
The 7700 XT was based on Navi 32 and was the cut down chip with 54 CU. That's about 70% more cores over a 9060. Meanwhile the 7900 XTX is only 50% more cores and Navi 32 also benefited from fixes to allow...
