I actually called up my local KFC (literally, about a quarter mile, or 402 meters from the house) and I used a serious tone-of-voice to ask when the KFConsole would be available along with if it could be picked up locally - at the restaurant. The employee had to get the manager and I asked the...

Hopper and future architectures [past Hopper] have been hinted by Nvidia to use ARM cores side-by-side with MCM GPU dies from as far back as 4 (maybe 5) years ago...

Information on it will be released in 2Q, so, we probably won't get any details until the very end of 2Q (June-ish). Anandtech has a preliminary article about it from back in January but info on controller, type of NAND, expected lifetime, warranty, etc is probably in a month or so.

Interesting...I have bought several (I am talking 5 or 6) of the Samsung 970 Evo and Evo Plus 1TB drives to stick into JMicron JMS583 bridge controller enclosures. I might have to give this one a try. It does use an ASMedia ASM2362 USB-to-PCIE 3.0x2 bridge controller and I'm sure the performance...

I see it on the PC end, so, the idea of installations is not new to me. I guess it's kind of cool that you get a form of physical medium that the game is stored on. So, the discs sold in the retail stores are just for installs? No more reading from an optical disc? My gawd, that would take...

Maybe I'm out of touch with console gaming (since at least my wild days living in Austin in early 2000s)...but the consoles ship the games on external HDDs now?

Their [Nvidia] next architecture is Hopper and it is confirmed to be their first using MCMs. Hell, it might be the only thing confirmed about Hopper.

Yar? Yar! Good catch! I noticed it too. However, what's really going on is that they are creating their own alternative to BF16 (brainfloat16) and calling it TF32: keeping the 8 bits for exponent from fp32 but using only 10 bits for the fraction (precision) from fp16. This keeps the...

Yeah, I watched that part of the presentation twice to make sure I heard him correctly. I thought he was very knowledgeable and demonstrated Sony's understanding of what they have for hardware and how far they can optimize software for the hardware. It, to me, feels a lot like the Japanese...

He is always more than welcome to send, oh, I don't know...0.000001% of his net worth over my way.

It's all the kiddies knowing they have school suspended. Same goes for a lot of the undergrads (in college). Many of the defense contractors, here (where I live), have been told to work from home too. I mean, who needs real life, right? Real life: worst game ever!

Unless it's a temporary implementation until Intel gets HT security issues fixed (assuming there are security issues with HT)?

Agreed.

Oh...I know all about that AMD stock. :)

Yeah, but I actually read their data spec. The article even included the link to the official data sheet. Inno is claiming 10,000 cycles. Granted, after TRIM commands and wear leveling, it's probably much less "real" cycles than shown.
