That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
You’d be surprised, but they actually cover battery tech relatively more often than most of tech media, albeit they never go in very deep in their article.
There is still the issue of overall baseload power supply in a given continent.
Not to mention political risk constraints in some places.
The Chinese market is huge and they don’t only operate in smartphones.
No way to know until we get pricing info and independent benchmarks for the 9070 XT.
In theory, it would make sense to return it and wait for the 9070 XT, but we can’t know for sure.
One workaround is to make separate accounts for different groups of topics.
Cheers!
Landauer Limit
First time I heard about this. Thanks for sharing.
Read up a bit on this and it seems that many (recent) estimates have us approaching the Landauer Limit closer to 2080-2090.
I got hit by what I believe was 0day WinRar vulnerability. Installed a nasty XMR miner that was a massive pain to disable. It took over the whole system and blocked any attempts around removal or even reading relevant articles about the miner.
Was able to get rid of it via safe mode and finding a cleaning tool from rather niche (region-focused) sources.
I’ve been searching for an alternative search engine. Found Searx to be subpar.
Was thinking about Kagi, but if they work with the russians, that’s an immediate no go for me.
It is unlikely that nominal (i.e. not inflation adjusted prices) will do anything but go up. I would argue this will be true irrespective of US tariff policy.
TSMC’s 7nm wafers (from ~2018) were around $10,000. 3nm wafers (from ~2022) cost around $18,000 and this is before any impact from US tariff policy. 2nm (to be released in 2025) is speculated to be in the ~$30,000 range (before tariffs?).
There are of course many other factors at play (yields, semiconductor size) and fabrication is only one cost component (there is also design, packaging, validation), but the trend is pretty clear.
I really wish they would continue 5800X3D production. Or even release a new AM4 X3D CPU.
It doesn’t sound like this is US only. The article strongly implies this is an across the board increase for all customers irrespective of the final destination of their products.
It’s has decent engagement. It’s a viable community for Android news.
I am assuming this is for a desktop. Probably best to ask this in !hardware@lemmy.world as it has far more subscribers.
Probably best to wait for the AMD 9070 introduction at the end of the month. They should be released in March.
Aren’t laptop batteries limited to 99 watthours? That creates a significant ceiling.
10+ is really good. I like the design of the Asus G14 as well (although I only go for 17 inch screens).
There will almost certainly be laptops with a 5070/5060/5050 for a price lower than $1,900 (which would work out to ~$2,000 for global style prices). I would imagine there will even 5070 Ti laptops with a more competitive price.
Yeah, laptops dGPUs seems to never get more than a few hours (never say ~8 hours) on a battery even if you don’t actively use the dGPU.
It’s a sacrifice I’ve been willing to make, but for my next laptop I am seriously considering a high end AMD iGPU.
It also depends on the genre. Some genres like economic strategy games that include a lot of charts/menus are better played at a desk with a large monitor.
That being said, there is a huge selection of games that works great on a laptop too (especially if you have a 17 inch screen).
I wonder what the pricing will be like for laptops with mid range 5000 series Nvidia dGPUs. The cheapest mobile RTX 5070 Ti laptop SKU from this OEM is €2,000.
High-end iGPUs are looking more and more appealing (you also get better battery life and a less bulky build).
Good to sea. Hopefully the growth dynamic will continue and many of the new users will become regulars.
