The XTX only got away with the $1000 price point because Nvidia was at $1200 at the time. Not that it sold well but it looked OK in charts:
The XT's price did not fly at all. And it's really hard to explain how they messed up their own presentation and claims.
He may have at least one point. Gamers love DLSS+FG. It looks like it will become ubiquitous shortly. With DLSS the memory requirements are reduced. I think 8GB is too low but maybe 12 or 16GB will be good enough for the next decade. Even 10 years from now if we're playing games at 8K+ finally...
M2 was 7-8 months ahead of Phoenix, both on improved TSMC 5nm processes. Similar GB6 ST composite scores. M2 with lower GB6 MT composite score. Yet when you look into the subtests of that composite it's quite flawed. It's hard to explain how Apple is "generations ahead regardless of the node" in...
Object detection makes almost no difference in the comparison between Raptor Lake / Zen 4 / M3. They're all on par.
M4 object detection is twice the score as all of them. So now it's an issue because now it makes a difference and it is implemented using an even less applicable extension (where...
Read the thread again it's all been said.
Zen 4 is still only on par with its competition, Raptor Lake, in that subtest. Both using 256 bit vector operations.
SVL for M4 is 128 bits and the ZA size is 128x128 bits and it can do that far fewer cycles. So it ends up twice the score of its...
In closed form & in exchange for access to their patches over Wine. Meanwhile Mesa has Microsoft contributors and has for years. Apple's not really changing at all. Use wherever possible, give back as little as possible and avoid GPL like the plague. The other American megacorps at least do play...
People keep saying Radeon hasn't been relevant in a decade or more (on certain sites).
But wasn't RDNA2 competitive? Are they gaslighting me or was I wrong and it wasn't worth considering? The only reason I ended up with a RTX 3080 10GB at the time (Nov 2020) was because it was in stock first, I...
License disclosure indicates they are in fact using some of DXVK's code. They could open source it to show to what extent they are using it but they won't because Apple.
Edit: It could be that it's entirely in the (L)GPL Wine components but since they bundle it all together who knows. But even...
Unironically some engineers like doing it.
But otherwise not much. If you scroll back to my original post on the matter: Apple is more closed than pretty much all their peers in both hardware and software. And often to the detriment of consumers some of who then bend over backward defending...
