The program isn’t even available yet. https://pcmanager.microsoft.com/en-us

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/intel-lunar-lake-mobile-chips-to-feature-16gb-or-32gb-of-embedded-memory Intel copying from Apples playbook, it saddens me a little. But at least there is no 8GB option…

I think its the same GPU used in the Asus ROG Phone

Sort of, but yes. There are also two different non-compatible CAMM formats making the rounds and OEMs are torn between them and the iEEE is staying out of it. Until there is just one, I doubt any 3'rd parties are going to bother with it unless it suddenly gets stupid popular.

LPCAMM2 was first announced at CES this year, there aren't many devices using it yet. I'm hoping it does become a thing because the more devices that use it the cheaper they get, which drives more devices to use it. But it is way more cost-effective currently for OEMs to solder the memory, the...

Yeah, game dev cycle. We’re falling behind schedule so let’s bring in programmers. The new programmers have sped up production but they make a lot of mistakes. Let’s bring in more programmers to help fix the mistakes. New programmers make almost as many mistakes as they find, but now there’s no...

I love that SKHynix named their new tech MR-MUF… A little bit on how it works and how TSMC plays into it. https://www.semianalysis.com/p/ai-expansion-supply-chain-analysis#§veeco-phased-out-sk-hynixs-hbm-packaging-innovation https://www.semianalysis.com/p/intel-genai-for-yield-tsmc-cfet-and...

Microsoft isn’t alone here, there are a couple of things going on. The whole gaming industry is in an uproar, devs who were specialized in Unity are basically useless now as is a lot of the talent who was ultra specialized on in house engines. Studios are buying up licenses for Unreal and...

These are too big for me, that scares me. The rebuild times on my 12TB SAS drives are problematic enough 30… no thank you. Granted if I had multiple storage arrays mirrored so it could not only rebuild but also check against a known good data set… I don’t think I’d get budget approval. But a...

Back in 2022 I moved all our outward facing web services off site. And had almost no budget to do it and the AWS ARM instances were priced where I needed them so it was very much a case of well, it’s got to be better than what I’ve got these running on now. My biggest headache was getting the...

Apple licenses Thunderbolt from Intel for their M series chips. I wonder if the M4 has a license for this tech. This may be some "new feature" for fast transfers from your old device to your new device. Because transferring multiple TB over Wifi during a new device setup is... Not fun... Often...

Thunderbolt isn't USB, while they share a connector, it's easier to think of Thunderbolt as a superset of USB rather than something directly comparable. This is one of the many reasons I am annoyed by the USB consortium.

Last time I checked Nvidia's Int4 was upwards of 120x faster than their nearest competitor, that's a pretty boring bar chart.

I have several PiZeroW's and W2's installed inside devices acting as network-enabled monitors, digital sign boards, or remote terminals. The Zero W's though have mostly been relegated to functioning as WiFi-enabled USB keys, so I can remotely push files to them for firmware updates, displays...

The issue with the iPads and such and the benchmarks is very few things push the chips to 100% so what it translates to most is better battery. For most tasks we’re talking about going from 7s down to 6.2 seconds, 8% CPU/GPU utilization instead of 12% which nets you an extra hour over a day. Or...
