Why do I hate Apple so much? Because they are literally raping their fanboy customers. Let's do a comparative breakdown of this so-called "$16k Build" based on NewEgg's prices: -256GB DDR4 RAM: Around $1,000 -16GB GPU (Radeon VII): $700 -18-core Intel CPU (Intel i9 9980XE): $2,000

Half the memory and no ECC support.
Frankly, I find it difficult to imagine why someone would need a graphics workstation with more than 128 GB RAM (as opposed to offloading the work to a server, or a HPC cluster) So I can't say that ECC is an absolute must...

Sentence Length. A male inmate with more than ten years remaining to serve will be housed in at least a Low security level institution unless the PSF has been waived. A male inmate with more than 20 years remaining to serve will be housed in at least a Medium security level institution, unless the PSF has been waived. A male inmate with more than 30 years remaining to serve (including non-parolable LIFE sentences) will be housed in a High security level institution unless the PSF has been waived.
Gottesfeld was sentenced to ten years, and therefore his classification will be based on other factors. Perhaps they'll find ways to penalize his trip to Cuba.
On March 29, the UK will shoot itself in the foot. A well rehearsed drone campaign with disruptions to infrastructure and transportaion networks could insure that the wound festers properly.
HSBC is obligated to follow US sanctions policy. If it facilitates transactions with Iran, it's subject to fines and prosecution. It is also obligated to perform a certain amount of due diligence with its clients to ensure that it does not violate US law.
Huawei does business with Iran through Skycom.
When HSBC asked Huawei about the ownership and control of Skycom, Meng Wanzhou characterized Skycom as an independent company-- when in fact, it was a subsidiary. This can be characterized as bank fraud. It might well have exposed HSBC to serious criminal liability.
First of all, according to the affidavit described at Meng’s Vancouver bail hearing, Meng is being charged with bank fraud, rather than violating U.S. sanctions on Iran. It is likely that Meng will be charged by the U.S. with violating the bank fraud statute, 18 U.S.C. 1344, which criminalizes any attempt “to defraud a financial institution,” or obtain funds from a “financial institution, by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises.” According to reports describing the U.S. affidavit, Meng is alleged to have personally made a presentation to HSBC claiming that a company doing business with Iran was not controlled by Huawei in violation of U.S. sanctions. If Meng knowingly misled HSBC in order to get some financial benefit or support, this would likely violate the statute—a breach that carries a possible 30-year jail sentence or $1 million fine.
I've never used autocad, but I do use other drafting and illustration programs. I procedurally generate a lot of my geometry (and, at this very moment, am trying to write a javascript export module for a very obscure CAD format).
Wilco, geekbench has apparently replaced dhrystone as your favourite useless benchmark.
Geekbench is SH*T.
It actually seems to have gotten worse with version 3, which you should be aware of. On ARM64, that SHA1 performance is hardware-assisted. I don't know if SHA2 is too, but Aarch64 does apparently do SHA256 in the crypto unit, so it might be fully or partially so.
And on both ARM and x86, the AES numbers are similarly just about the crypto unit.
So basically a quarter to a third of the "integer" workloads are just utter BS. They are not comparable across architectures due to the crypto units, and even within one architecture the numbers just don't mean much of anything.
And quite frankly, it's not even just the crypto ones. Looking at the other GB3 "benchmarks", they are mainly small kernels: not really much different from dhrystone. I suspect most of them have a code footprint that basically fits in a L1I cache.
Uber is infamous for disrupting, or actually breaking established social systems. I'm not sure that disrupting the food supply-- even if it to make money-- is a laudable social goal.
In travel guides, the number of stars tends to denote how far out of your way you should travel.
one star: it's dark, it's rainy, you just need a a clean place to stay for the night five star: the entire point of your vacation was to stay at this place.
If it doesn't meet a minimal standard of cleanliness, it doesn't get listed.
Of course, some guides have more exacting standards. One Michelin star is still extraordinary.
It's those external factors we should be looking at.
Two major precipitating factors are nutrient runoff from Indonesian sugarcane farms, and global warming; both of which won't be solved any time soon, without a lot of international cooperation. This method is fairly unilateral,

Good throughput, good fillrate, good quality, good features. A very competent chip. I wish intel great success with the 740. I think that it firmly establishes the baseline that other companies (especially the ones that didn't even make this list) will be forced to come up to. Voodoo rendering quality, better than voodoo1 performance, good 3D on a desktop integration, and all textures come from AGP memory so there is no texture swapping at all. Lack of 24 bit rendering is the only negative of any kind I can think of. Their current MCD OpenGL on NT runs quake 2 pretty well. I have seen their ICD driver on '95 running quake 2, and it seems to be progressing well. The chip has the potential to outperform voodoo 1 across the board, but 3DFX has more highly tuned drivers right now, giving it a performance edge. I expect intel will get the performance up before releasing the ICD. It is worth mentioning that of all the drivers we have tested, intel's MCD was the only driver that did absolutely everything flawlessly. I hope that their ICD has a similar level of quality (it's a MUCH bigger job). An 8mb i740 will be a very good setup for 3D development work.
IIRC, the "integrated vs discrete" distinction came about because intel's integrated chipsets were so very slow, didn't support the ATI/NVIDIA extensions to OpenGL, and the developers didn't want to spend time optimizing non ATI/nVidia codepaths.

What will make my shiny new imac pro obsolete? (bearing in mind that nothing on the imac pro can be upgraded without surgery)
Will it be new graphics hardware?
Will it be the widespread availability of cpus with more than 18 cores?
Will it be higher resolution displays?
No. It will be the emergence of bloatware the likes of which even god has never seen.

back in the early 1990s, you could buy photoshop accelerators.. Then again, you could get the same DSP ( AT&T 3210) by using a Quadra 660AV or 840 AV.
And if that doesn't work we'll start posting warnings to the front end!
