Irrc The US heavily invested into EUV and blocked Japanese companies out of all the government money and research. US was the world leader in lithography machines until Japanese lithography machines started winning outright. Japan leaned to proximity x-ray for the next big process. Japan later...

Mark Lui hand quite a bit of say on to build there, if red tape and the local labor market doesn't align that's sorta on your own poor planning.

There was no issue when nvidia used a very similar connector for the 3xxx series, the 4 sense pins was intel's whole thing to add it to atx and to pci-sig. 12VHPWR is intel's standard but it's nvidia's fault for using it?

Eh... Cars in general need a lot of simple chips because everyone but Tesla just includes basic chips inside of every individual piece of hardware due to how cars are made by a bunch of parts from a few oems and internal parts bins, they don't really have complex control over each other so they...

I don't get people. If all you want is a lot of padding just get a la-z-boy office chair, at least you'll have some lumbar support and no stupid bolsters. These gaming chairs are white label products are have terrible ergonomics, some are better than others but they're all pretty bad office chairs.

Just about all production cars use a plastic bumper fascia. Hyundai is not a great car brand, in the past few years settled a class action lawsuit over lying about their MPG settled a class action over poor quality wiring harnesses that nuked engines currently in a class action lawsuit over...

Trackball gaming really brings me back to being a kid, first thing you do is turn on mouse acceleration. Trackballs work really well in slower FPS with limited verticality, ones where you concentrate on aim placement when rounding corners. If all you have to do is track something side to side a...

Kind of the reason DLSS 1.0 died to quickly lack of temporal component. DLSS 2+ really cut down on the shimmering and stair stepping that doesn't show up in pictures but plainly obvious when you're playing the game. Nvidia's Temporal component with current DLSS is why it's not so easily to slap...

No one needs absolute silence but HTPC. Also silence is only part of it, not having a fans is another. There are plenty of industrial reasons to have completely fanless PCs but there are few that would actually use this product when you get to business you can just buy stupid expensive things.

Can't have your friends list as a separate smaller window must take up the entire screen to look at it. Amazing how tone-deaf this is.

Complaining about the fan is just wrong Radial fans are better then axial for a heatsink application. In general a radial fan will generate a more concentrated flow and greater pressure but at less volume. Generally radial fans are quieter in the hvac world because the air that gets pushed is...

Clearly this was done to snipe all the ebay scalpers.

Marketing to the public, people who actually have to order from a foundry get more useful information. Why do people think samsung had a 7nm process since 2018 because they advertise it to the public even when it's was basically not usable Different logic/i.o/cache/memory all comes in different...

Intel isn't using TDP anymore and AMD 15w is TDP not it's power setting. 4800U is a 12-25w TDP configurable, 15w is the default but the OEM can set it up however they want. The lenovo they use was set up at the 25w TDP. I approve of intel moving away from TDP that number made no sense to anyone...

Parts of PhysX are of UE4 and Unity granted the ol cuda acceleration is pretty dead but nvidia's physics package is still pretty prevalent.
