The marketing wankateers dictionary. Lol.

In other "news" I'm really enjoying this Belgian Trappist ale.

I actually look forward to CES more that most, but it does need a heavy bullshit filter.

This is a component though, it doesn't claim to do "ai", it's for use in "ai" servers.

So 26 rather than 27 buzz words/phrases - a 3.7% reduction, which as an engineer I consider noise/measurement error or tolerance aka the same :):D:toast:

Any reason why they're continuing to market the ASM2464PDX and non-X? Do you happen to know if they have any USBv2 (80 Gbps) stuff in the pipeline?

I'm asking you since you still seem to have insights in the industry :laugh:

Anything specific you're concerned about? The only difference is USB PD support and maybe their customers aren't interested in the non PD version?

As for USB4 80 Gbps, they were showing early prototype stuff at Computex last year, so we might see some hardware this year.

Well, I do have some very good connections in this specific case.

I had hoped for an updated version of their 1166 Sata controller to PCIe 4.0, bummer :/

Not much but just wondering if USB4v2 would be making its way downtown soon, but I guess not since USB4v1 (40 Gbps) is still technically spreading out with more devices now. At least we now have something better than the older JHL7440 TB4 on PCI-E 3.0 stuff.
