Why say it is undocumented: https://opensource.apple.com/source/clang/clang-318.0.45/src/test/MC/ARM/arm-memory-instructions.s.auto.html Clang seem to support them and yhou do not need special library that take advantage of, something like that: char a,b,c; c = a+b; if(c<0) { } could use it...

Why would they ever remove said instruction, it seem to be a very small set of extra one. Even if we do not use any apple library (say a pure STL C project, nothing custom to MacOS), the compilers that target Apple Silicon could use those extra instruction, no ?

Chatgpt cannot run on your personnal hardware, they have over 200 billions weights (maybe in the trillion now) models running on supercomputer. The app are only on apple at first I think (and will use Internet to talk with a server), not sure if they are available to everyone yet. On your...

But why would they mind even at all if their binary run on other platform ? It is not like it is uncommon (that why people usually care about open source after all, how often you better compile specifically for your target...)

I did read like if it was about them adding stuff than the other would not be able to run anymore so people must buy their hardware to run their software, not for them to remove from themselve the ability to run application library. I was wrong rereading it, I guess it would change for people...

Would it be more if they get the same cooling, are they to the point that it does not even matter anymore ?

Didn't apple do this ? Not big but a short list of new custom instructions https://opensource.apple.com/source/clang/clang-318.0.45/src/test/MC/ARM/arm-memory-instructions.s.auto.html https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/writing-arm64-code-for-apple-platforms Apple platforms diverge...

This at first glance look quite impressive ? +22% from the 13inch laptop form factor in multi thread ? Like mentionned this i imagine for most only translate in much more battery life (has the Ipad will always just use very little of the chips), which is not useless for an Ipad... That said...

ARM and what we call RISK now do the same: aplpe A14: Outside the simplest of simplest chips, a decoding to Micro-ops stage will always be present (and always been for x86 cpus since the 70s) With modern CPU you probably want that stage and can be a net benefit to use most of your...

Look like it could be getting close to be out (maybe by 2025): https://www.guru3d.com/story/rumor-mediatek-and-nvidia-to-collaborate-on-development-of-armbased-ai-pc-processor/ The design finalization, or tape out, of the processor is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of 2024, with...

In some game the question does not really apply, Avatar for example if you set the game at ultra settings will have RT used, it is not a separate setting, that why at max setting the 4070ti beat card like a 7900xtx, it could be because it is an AMD sponsered title and they asked them to hide the...

Must be a bit strange feeling to be a customer, the same day that : https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-grace-hopper-ignites-new-era-of-ai-supercomputing Driving a fundamental shift in the high-performance computing industry toward AI-powered systems, NVIDIA today announced nine new...

According tot the description; What makes my PCI version of this card unique from the other two is that mine comes with a DVI port as well as a VGA port the other ones only has an VGA port and that’s because mine is a RARE ENGINEERING SAMPLE CARD. hum... people have made custom version: What...

It is possible that max setting more and more will just enable RT without being a different option (think Avatar or some unreal 5 game that does not even have pre-baked light to use) and it is a bit already strange to call RT off has playing with Max setting in a game like Cyberpunk

What crack down occured if it was not over the copyright angle ? Seem anything you do with a nintendo IP would need to have some good fair use that hard to see here. The fact that it need the actual Nintendo copyrighted code like you say... Was it some IP infringement or commercial brand instead...

Yes that where Nintendo could have a much easier time to track down, those being obvious copyrights infringements.

Nintendo NES classic was maybe a better way for the brand and money (same as having emulator-store on their console like the Wii).

Battle Brothers (I feel Wartales could be fun in the same style, bought it and will try it at some point), Vampire Survivor, Slay the Spire, I imagine those 3 have a lot of similar predecessor, copy cat, etc... but they were the first like that a personally played Manor Lords, unlike the other...

Not sure if they can do anything for compiler-interpreter, etc... that seem all legal and respect copyrights laws(I could be very wrong, but usually programming language and compiler are really hard to protect). The equivalent for NES has been online for 11 years now...

Both predicting that windows 12 will exist, be quite different enough for win11 drivers to not work and that AMD will have stopped to make dGPU and drivers by 3 years... even for their latest gpus. Will see... how that turn out... but

Ah this answer the question, I can see this taking a lot of space. 55-75GB 3d HD movies can fill what is left on a 256GB device quick enough, if one use it for that because streaming does not work well in hotel, you can see the use.

That kind of sudden change if well calculated look like some big Laptop sellers moved their focus on AMD during that time....

Timing is a bit different and GPU generation sku way more changing and hard to match, but say from 2018->2022, NVIDIA went from a 445mm² 2060 to a smaller 380mm² 4080 that has +200/230% the performance (i.e. 3.3 to 1 ratio) or so despite being smaller, AMD st was about +55%/60% from 2019->2023...

And if the game is available on steam, buzz from Xbox gamepass play could boost PC games sales (where I do not imagine gamepass is that popular vs steam account), and it would be a bit more complicated determine if what Microsoft is selling them in the deal will equate to the amount of money...

When the article say, I would return mine to buy one with the larger harddrive, my first thought what one can put on it anyway ? Say a movie collection ? That imply watching movie outside the house and not on your disney+ account because you sleep in hotel with bad wifi or something

Do you use the keypad has shortcut on your CAD software for camera control or other ? Are you sure you need to look for polling number at all for non- competitive gaming keyboard ?, 1khz sound like an already a giant number outside e-sport. This could be a good spot to look at...

I think it was lost, Microsoft know there a risk of cannibalizing sales to put a title currently selling well or day 1 on gamepass, the idea that it would not be something they think about and try to calculate is an ridiculous hyperbole, it would be for a startup, it is even more for a giant...

But we are talking about some basic offer and demand can affect price low level of general business knowledge here, people that run a corner store will have some notion (and to repeat, we know for a fact form the Activision trial discovery, that obviously they knew about this, we do not have to...

The genre still had some life in it, Gabriel knight series for example and video CD had a moment for the genre. Full Throttle I think was quite big. The Dig from Spielberg. Myst was 1993, there was still some King Quest that worked after that.

That not how I remember at all, 9700 pro (august 2002)-5950 ultra (october 2003) had launched before Doom 3 and could play it on launch ( I did play Doom 3 on launch on my pc), Doom 3 was August 2004, maybe some leaked pre-built ? Carmark-ID software are not really known to make heavy to run...

Does it look better (or run faster?) than the previous Lumen raytracing, was it not raytraced for a quite long time now fornite ? Or I am missing something.... Such a popular you think a quick google would tell you all that quickly, but cannot find anything, maybe it is because of the...

Outside the magnificent 7 not sure how much is it true,

A graphic of profit and revenues would look very good went from 22 billions in 2014 to 73 billions now. I would not say they are particularly good at making games, more than good enough at business in general to know stuff that 12 years old know like the risk of cannibalizing business something...

Who said that ?, but anyway here a trial with discovery did show internal communication that confirm that Microsoft indeed knew the obvious, we do not have to speculate.

Yes would be hard, but that possibly so much more complicated has an issue and less in the hands of the corporate boss than something has basic as possible canabilisation when you do direct competition to yourself, I could not fix the windows 10 update issue, I can come up with the...

How much billions will it cost them issues on 10 years old legacy OS ?

Not sure which part you find funny, people thinking that no one at Microsoft could have think that putting popular game on gamepass can cannibalise their sales on other channel or the idea that Microsoft under Nadella is one of the best run company in the history of the world ? When it is just...

The article is pointing out about internal documentation (during Activision trial discovery) of Microsoft talking about it. Microsoft is one of the best run company in the history of the world filled with some of the most component employee on earth, nothing anyone ever come with on a message...

That just sound a gross impossible exaggeration..... The idea that microsoft ignore the impact of GamePass on starfield sales.... https://gamerant.com/xbox-game-pass-cannibalizes-game-sales/ This sound like misrepresenting, hyperbolic people would say (or angry third party)

Not sure if GPU ever had longer life time, ability to keep value and longer period before a refresh than now. Buying a GeForce 3 was much more a melting ice cube, 6 years old 2070 super play every game quite well and will continue to do so for popular AAA game until PS6 only game show up...
