I don't think they have increased production of GPUs by too much, which is why we see inflated prices - production hasn't met demand. This happened during the last coin bubble was well. AMD made hardly anymore money than normal, because they weren't able to crank up production.
On a related note, Tom's Hardware called the 7900X "a factory overclocked chip". It generates so much heat at that it needs water cooling to run without throttling. http://www.tomshardware.com/re...
It seems this is Falcon 9 block 5, because of the titanium fins.
Block 5 also has 8% more thrust and " thermal-protection coating instead of paint on the first stage to help protect it from reentry heating" This is probably the first recovered stage that won't need refurbishing
I think the reason they have a fridge connected to the internet, is because they *can* connect a fridge to the internet. There doesn't need to be a reason.
Yes, after FTC investigation was Intel prohibited from offering loyalty rebates, but that only applies to the US. It is only illegal in EU if you can prove that it's harming competition. So, technically Intel could still use loyalty rebates in the EU.
It seems that Intel is threatening to use their patents to lock competition out of the market like Qualcomm does. Isn't this against the principles of FRAND? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Supposing you have a machine that's hasn't been offline and not been updated for some time and then you connect to the internet and try to update it. Windows update is so slow and installs the updates in no special order - least important first, so Wannacry is going to get to you before Windows update has a chance to install that patch.
I was just wondering it says that they wouldn't attempt recovery of the first stage because the payload was so heavy, 13,400 lbs and it was to GTO orbit. That sort of indicates that the Falcon 9 is maxed out at that weight. But then if you look at the Wikipedia page it says that the max weight to GTO is actually a lot more, 18,300 lb. So, what gives? Is Wikipedia wrong?
You're right, it's just a silly click bait title. Nothing was stoled from AMD or Nvidia. AMD uses mainly Globalfoundries as a foundry, but also TSMC for some products.
I think Intel either has a yield problem, or simply that X-Point is a lot more expensive to manufacture than they pretend. NAND and DRAM have very mature manufacturing processes that are hard to beat in cost. I think in fact that it costs a lot more than $77 to manufacture, that's why they enforce all these artificial restrictions (only Kaby lake only 200 series motherboards) - because they are selling below cost and don't want to hurt their margins too much.
I prefer the Ars technica article: https://arstechnica.com/gadget... Gives a much more critical look at the product. The other reviews seem to be fawning over the new tech too much without doing proper real world comparisons

The launch should go fine, just like in the video - so long as there's no roof snipers about.
Not a problem. You only need to run faster than they guy next to you.

except that it's still profitable to mine Ethereum. GPU prices haven't come down yet

The fact that he thinks passenger jets have marble floors makes me think that he doesn't know a lot about commercial air flight

It's a pity there was no video of it landing. That's the fun part to watch.

Immersion steppers have higher throughput, but as they require more production steps they are effectively slower.
"but its approach requires an expensive shift that chipmakers have put off for years: the use of extreme ultraviolet light"
Actually, EUV has been planned for 5nm all along (even for 7nm). It make the process cheaper, not more expensive (by reducing the number of masks)
Night is when you use an actual planet for the heat shield
Or even if you are installing a new machine.

Guess I need to buy another box
My question is how many floppies do "4,096 yottabytes" take?
I mean, they could have made their satellite a lot heavier at no extra cost
Right, so they could have made their satellite a lot heavier with at extra cost

Does that mean that they no longer need to use the main antenna as a shield when it's going through the gap?
