    If it uses the MI400 architecture, only the drivers can make it slower.

    News Qualcomm fishes in Intel's troubled waters: Examines acquiring different pieces of Intel

    Yes, but given that Intel doesn't have much going for it outside of Intel, is it worth taking the loss when they have the needed capacity from TSMC? Intel has plenty of capacity to brute force AI chips.

    News Qualcomm fishes in Intel's troubled waters: Examines acquiring different pieces of Intel

    The only people who have any use for the foundries are Sam Altman and Elon Musk. If they have custom chip designs, they can make the chips without massive margins going to TSMC. Of course, I don't see their projects turning a profit so who knows how this will turn out.

    Is it possible to build a off grid cam with a raspberry pi pico that takes a picture every few hours?

    I saw a few presentations recently where researchers used a Raspberry Pi, a camera, and a motion sensor to take photos of moving wildlife. I don't know the specifics, but you should be able to find the software online. You can build a box around a large lithium battery so that it doesn't get wet.

    Question AMD Laying off 4% of worldwide workforce to "focus more on AI"

    I highly doubt AMD will sell all of these chips at a loss. When you consider the space the NPU takes up in the design, the extra space from the extra CUs isn't much. OEMs want cheap and there is no way this costs more for OEMs to stick in their systems than a dGPU. Why does it need a dedicated...

    Question AMD Laying off 4% of worldwide workforce to "focus more on AI"

    It makes sense considering that they will only have UDNA going forward. They don't need two teams creating CDNA and RDNA. Before they announced the change, I wondered if they would use CDNA consumer chips because of AI. I bet Raja pushed to have two teams since he complained about doing both...

    Northern Virgina or Maryland

    What is your main reason for the potential move here? If you want to live cheaply, move to Delaware (low property tax and no sales tax). It's still relatively close to the college and it's between Baltimore and Philadelphia. Some VA counties do charge property tax on vehicles. My county has...

    It sounds like Pat is still obsessed with Larrabee and wants to see the idea return. I don't see this turning out well for Intel...

    Are P&S compacts a bad idea in 2024?

    Another option is to 'upgrade' to a mirrorless camera like the R50 and the compact kit lens. That way you have a smaller camera with the same quality but better AF/Video etc.

    News Intel 2Q24 Financial Results

    I didn't see this one or the other one that was posted. I think the one I watched also mentioned that he left Intel because of arguments over outsourcing manufacturing.

    News Intel 2Q24 Financial Results

    I watched the interview about this but I can't find it now. He didn't say that the engineers lost hope. He said that many engineers agreed that they could do it (such as Mike Clark). There were also two teams, one x86 and one ARM. They canceled ARM and that team started working on Zen 3. Keller...

    Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

    I wonder if they will release 3nm versions next year with higher performance. The slides from a while back say 4nm and 3nm for Zen 5. I thought 5c would be 3nm, but they built both on 4nm.
