    $2,500 RTX-5090 ( 60% faster than 4090 )

    It seem to really depends, people to people, a bit lik CRT flicker it started to look ok to be around 85hz and could use 75hz in exchange of higher resolution when I needed it for application, some people had no issue with 60hz, some could not go under 100. Personnaly for something like games...

    NVIDIA RTX 5090 new rumored specs: 28GB GDDR7 and 448-bit bus

    that do not really match the reaction to the $700 1080TI, $700 3080 (that was about never possible to buy at that price) or the $1600 4090 (will be 2 years in 2 months, never been available at msrp). The general consensus about Lovelace is that the price target of the 4060 is good but the...

    AMD Expected to Announce Ryzen 5000XT CPUs at Computex

    Is it speculation that they are making them and that they are new ? Could they be old stock they try to sell, and creating an XT brand for those one way to go through it ? What is the supposed difference between a 5900xt and a bad chip that tried to be a 5950x but did not boost up to 4.9 GHZ ...

    what is the more overrated cryptocurrency in your opinion?

    Is it you that added text to my message you quoted ? (or it is some AI that did that ?), because I not sure I get the link with the added text to the rest of your answer and 2 both to my message, probably some typo going on.

    Microsoft set to announce DirectX DirectSR (Super Resolution) at GDC 2024

    I would imagine the goal is that game studio do not have to ship and update the Nvidia DLSS dll and that went dll get update every game with dll support (that used directSR) can not be run with the latest without any change by the game. Nvidia update DLSS with the driver update, directsr.dll...

    NVIDIA RTX 5090 new rumored specs: 28GB GDDR7 and 448-bit bus

    The L40 is under 3,000 TPP wise and yet banned, the RTX 6000 is not, it is quite based on emotion (like they say in their quote), it can be TPP, it can be a performance density, it can be watt density, it can be raw Tops, the rules have changed all the time and are now 166 pages long. Almost all...

    Apple's iPhone Spyware Problem Is Getting Worse

    Except if we call spying on Russia, terrorist group, China, good things, it is all obviously subjective. If someone use Linux to do something, you will say Linux did, if Isis use youtube to post a beheading video you will say youtube did ? Yes, I have just an hard time you do not understand...

    NVIDIA RTX 5090 new rumored specs: 28GB GDDR7 and 448-bit bus

    Toyota break failure was bad press, Volkswagen cheating in anti-pollution test (and all they would have to do to fix it) was not good press, Nike child labor was not good press, Harvey Weinstein sexual scandal was not good press for TWC), Nvidia I am sure care about actual bad press.

    Russia Says It's Assembled a Lithography Machine, Will Make 350nm Chips

    Maybe not that big, but we can imagine that (above 100nm) are still being used, during the 2021-2022 car chips supply, lack of 90nm and above production was a big deal, in military tanks, plane, industrial, petrol Russian tech... Going from 300nm to 90nm to 40nm could be quite fast, we can...

    Change Xbox failure into Playstation "success" story, not sure if we would see it on that graph.

    NVIDIA RTX 5090 new rumored specs: 28GB GDDR7 and 448-bit bus

    Or not the 4090D is way above the 320TFLOPS ban rules, the 4080 is above it, could get banned tomorrow, completely arbitrary, marketing around those cards: Those are not for AI, those are under the ban limit, seem to be an important variable. the RTX 6000 is still legal to export in china, a...

    NVIDIA RTX 5090 new rumored specs: 28GB GDDR7 and 448-bit bus

    There were rumors, that the 5080 before or same time than the 5090 was too not have the China market excluded of the Blackwell launch, which could be seen as a bit insulting to the customer base, with it designed with the limit in mind (or a bet on what they will let go).. but rumors are rumors...

    NVIDIA RTX 5090 new rumored specs: 28GB GDDR7 and 448-bit bus

    Strong possiblity. Imagine the 5080 AI performance are super low, to be able to be sold in China, even if the 5090 is a giant jump from that, it will not be that impressive versus getting 2x4090 instead and far from the models in the product line that never had China in mind.

    Computex 2024 Preview: The Hardware Side

    Twitch terminates all members of its Safety Advisory Council

    If it is something that was made during the summer 2020, you can understand why a company would roll that back at some point, both revenues-expectation and the appetite for very well paid "safey" consultant could have changed quite a bit.

    Windows 11 24H2 will enable BitLocker encryption for everyone - happens on both clean installs and reinstalls

    From memory, once they went DDR, specially the P4C were perfectly fine priced-performing CPU that overclocked really well, they were pretty much neck and neck in the era. The previous were not bad, but were bad for the price.

    Microsoft set to announce DirectX DirectSR (Super Resolution) at GDC 2024

    That not clear how, no one would have buy an AMD card because the amd card support FSR, they all do, so the question tend to be on a news how much does it hurt the competition. If a game use DirectSR now the FSR advantage over other techs is gone (the one game support first over the other...

    32 core Ryzen for Zen 6?

    what is the more overrated cryptocurrency in your opinion?

    The big issue is (at least for the current tech) you seem to always need a trusted third party anway for almost anything. To take the steam vs a crypto game store example, if I trust an seller enough to trust the compiled game has no virus, work well, will accept a refund in case it does not...

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    yes but you do understand than the rental cost of that phone was included in the contract cost.

The full-on top flagship now are just too expensive to hide it to...

    Why does MacOS cost less in support in businesses than Windows

    This is what sound a bit strange, that make sense, it is the other scenario of the all Macs shop deciding to go all windows and see the cost explode.... Reflex is that the all mac shop would not transition to windows if not for a special need (and said special need would probably explain the...

    Microsoft set to announce DirectX DirectSR (Super Resolution) at GDC 2024

    That prediction was not far off If I understand correctly what they are trying to do... that part seem being the nice one: Game developers need not integrate vendor-specific SDKs or package vendor-specific libraries with their titles.
