    For general use - moving files around and playing games, would you have an Optane boot drive or PCie gen 5?

    No. I said that Tom's review is for ordinary SSD with name Optane. Which use nand flash chips and have same problems like any other SSD when moving really big files and fullfil it's "SLC" buffer.

    Generally speaking, what my colleagues and I have in mind is a board with a controller and non-volatile memory chips, which, unlike the one in SSD, is not nand flash, despite the exterior similarity.

    This is optane ssd not optane memory. Same name, different devices.

    is there anyway to verify my motherboard actually has a gen5 gpu slot without a gen5 card?

    I don't know why all the fuss, since all PCIe 5.0 comes from the CPU i/o chiplet with ZEN 4, and from the fall with ZEN 5 architecture. So, at least in theory, it wouldn't be a problem for all motherboards with an AM5 slot to get such specifications on at least the near-CPU PCIe and m.2 slots...

    European Supercomputer Chip SiPearl Rhea Delayed, But Upgraded with More Cores

    Yes, but I wonder why only 256 bit width to RAM. Intel has 512 bit, AMD from ZEN 4 Epyc 768 bit (12 channels) if I'm not wrong.

    European Supercomputer Chip SiPearl Rhea Delayed, But Upgraded with More Cores

    I am always positive and radiant. Here, I managed to find something that is positive. I am happy with the number of PCIe 5.0 lanes.

    Will now unsignificant. Numbers talked more than advertised speaking. 72 to 80 is ~11% Sorry just trying my math.

    AMD RDNA 5 a "Clean Sheet" Graphics Architecture, RDNA 4 Merely Corrects a Bug Over RDNA 3

    It makes a lot of sense for an entirely new architecture. Which out of the box will support the next version of Microsoft DirectX that will arrive with the next version of Windows in 202*(?).

    NEO Semiconductor Reveals a Performance Boosting Floating Body Cell Mechanism for 3D X-DRAM during IEEE IMW 2024 in Seoul

    Yes, it seems that the published numbers have not been reached at all, but only represent NEO's wet dreams of the uncertain future.

    AMD RDNA 5 a "Clean Sheet" Graphics Architecture, RDNA 4 Merely Corrects a Bug Over RDNA 3

    Ok, so we've written some stuff that may or may not be helpful. What do you think about the next AMD architecture that will be after rDNA 4. It is also mentioned in the article and there is an obvious fear in the comments to write anything other than trolling AMD. Can it really be a new...

    AMD RDNA 5 a "Clean Sheet" Graphics Architecture, RDNA 4 Merely Corrects a Bug Over RDNA 3

    No one has mentioned war in this discussion. Something is worth what it can be sold for. If it produces only slightly more rays than the rtx 5060(which will probably cost $400), consumes 50% more electricity, and comes in at $700, no one will even consider buying the rx 8800.

    AMD RDNA 5 a "Clean Sheet" Graphics Architecture, RDNA 4 Merely Corrects a Bug Over RDNA 3

    You should think of the rDNA 4 "flagship" as the rx 7800 xt on RT steroids. Given that despite the expected improvements in RT, it will likely struggle for the kind of performance that is in the space between the rtx 5060 and rtx 5070... The price would have to be really low to have any chance...

    How much should a graphics card cost if its GPU is mid-range? The prices you suggest seem absurd to me.

    AMD "Ryzen AI 9 HX170" Surfaces, Suggests New Naming Scheme for Ultraportable Processors

    What a leak...say all new ZEN 5 APU for this year include Strix Halo... with PCIe 4.0? Halo, or not halo?
