TPU was and still is a huge highlight of my day, and the place I go to to get all my nerd news and discussion.

Oh I'm sure they will care since, most of IBM's profits come from redundant IT services rendered to... middle class workers... Servers to run sites to help middle class people find jobs, payrolls, CRMs, Database analytics, Internet Security, Accoutning.... when AI does everything centrally and...

Not to mention you want to give an AMD chip 6 months before purchasing

send it back and get a new one

I think people are going to be surprised... this is on a new node. That's not why "it doesn't work" -- servers aren't personal devices and they're not workstations - they're pieced out into 1000 VMs and docker containers to rent out compute, so yeah if that's your function that heterogeneous...

The real competitor will be the X3D, so the first 6 months of Zen 5 will be AMD milking it's early adopters as hard as possible - they're not releasing x3d until early 2025. Zen 5 non-x3d will probably be on par with 7800x3D so for gaming nothing really is going to change, on the MT side you're...

It's terrible.

That's a good point... I didn't even think of that. Perfect timing for sure. In any case i have a feeling gaming performance will be much better than last gen, just turning off HT on a chip designed for HT nets you 5-7% and double digits in some games if they can address caching, that by...

excited for the drop off of HT and latency improvement

They made up their own marketing categories, lumped half the new laptops in it, and then went -- LOOK! People are buying new laptops... They're trying so hard, it's cute. My real question is... if I really wanted AI capability wouldnt i just buy a discrete GPU? 4050 is 60 TOPS(ish)? the top...

but does it have that toasted sandalwood smell? And the same high pitched whine of two AIO pumps fighting for their life at full RPM?

It's so you can put an i9 in there and have a PC case and incense all in one.

what's weird is the OLD models in this series used to run high end gear with one giant exhaust fan but 240 for the CPU and a 240 for the GPU both pulling in cold air from the sides - for a total of 480mm of slim low flow optimized rad. This is a massive downgrade to that original design.

yeah the cooling on this is pretty bad for the level of equipment.

Same here -- CPU / platform to feed the GPU as it's already overkill for most tasks.
