This is pretty standard copytext for Qualcomm marketing.

They were promising the world before the release of the Snapdragon X and it barely was able to beat out current x86 offerings on efficiency, while not being able to match performance (I am ignoring the massive issues with software and peripheral compatibility for the sake of argument).

Wouldn't that also depend on support from downstream software/frameworks?

At the beginning of the year I was experimenting with Stable Defusion and I got the impression that support for AMD/Intel GPUs was lacking (I have a Nvidia GPU).

And I doubt AMD is going to offer any type great of deal; pricing is definitely going based on Nvidia but with a discount. It wouldn't make sense to do otherwise considering the relatively low levels of competition in this segment.

ARM, this is supposed to be their answer to Snapdragon X

It's a good channel to put on the second monitor.

Jauwn's relatively calm tone does work well with NFT game scheme overview videos. The semi-serious review approach honestly makes the whole thing even more entertaining.

It really does feel like satire, doesn't it?

You don't even need to go that far.

Just need real courts (based on principles of justice and sober interpretation of corruption and criminality) and proper incentives; full asset seizure and mandatory community service (decade minimum) working as a junior janitor at an Alzheimer patient facility, with restricted access to smartphones/computers and mobility restriction to the immediate area around the facility. You could even get minimum wage while taking part in your community service program.

I do find that business news on technology can offer a fine alternative to "tech journalism" (and they have strong sources), but the "superchip facility" framing is so lame.

Don't think AMD can compete with Nvidia on an absolute basis, purely due to the ecosystem dominance and market leadership inertia.

They may be able to improve their position on a relative basis though.

I've stopped buying high-end smartphone in the last ~7 years, unfortunately cameras are one of the few remaining areas where there is an actual difference between flagships and mid-range devices. Although I think in the next few years this difference will evaporate.

I personally do not buy smartphones without MicroSD support. Thankfully options are still available for this feature.

To be honest, I don't think that's too bad of a trade-off, but I can see how this would be controversial in the context of desktop computing.

It doesn't really matter if it's possible or not from a physics sense (I have no clue and am not making any statements on this).

As we both agree, he clearly just made that up and picked a random number without any thoughts.

Damn oligarchs acting all "holier than thou" and framing anyone who opposes them as "out of touch lazy, idiots" and yet their argumentation is on the level of a pre-teen. Just goes to show how they despise what they see as dirty plebs.
