For HP UX, a native big endian mode is one less translation overhead. Most Linux ARM and MacOS ARM builds are a little-endian like the X86. X86 can translate big endian into little endian with a 486-era BSWAP instruction.

HP as secondary IA-64 CPU source is not competitive just like their PA-RISC. Itanium supported big-endian mode for HP's 68K and PA-RISC Unix product lines. Itanium supports both x86's little endian and 68K/PA-RISC's big endian modes. ARMv8 can run in big endian mode and proven to run big...

Blender's BMW27 doesn't reflect higher complex scenes e.g. classroom.

Wrong, For RDNA 3 CU, the 1st 64 stream processors support both w32 and w64, while the 2nd 64 stream processors only support w32. RDNA 2 CU and RDNA 3 CU have the same texture unit count. AIDA64's RX 7900 XTX shows half of TFLOPS potential. RDNA3 Dual issue compute is extremely limited and...

RDNA 3 has dedicated AI acceleration with DirectX12U's incoming Shader Model 6.8 Wave MMA (matrix multiply-accumulate) HLSL extensions. Both 16 GB VRAM and Shader Model 6.8 WMMA are for fine wine. HLSL Shader Model 6.8 Wave MMA is Microsoft's Tensor-like function for DirectX12U. RDNA 3 CU's...

For higher resolution.

NVIDIA GPUs support FreeSync DP monitors. Model numbers are just marketing labels. The ASIC model number is the real model number. Like any competitor, AMD competes against the competition, not against itself.

RDNA 3 has native support for Microsoft's incoming Shader Model 6.8's Wave Matrix Multiply Accumulate (tensor-like extensions). Techpowerup's RX 6800 XT was a reference design.

What about support for AVX-512?
