I'm sure it was all on Hunter Biden's Laptop too. If only the FBI would have gotten it and been able to go through all the dirt, then we would have had a corruption-free administration!

September: a Dell Precision 5860 with 256GB of DDR5 and a 16-core Sapphire Rapids Xeon cost around $8000.
Today: that same config will cost over $20000. Exactly the same.

When RAM and SSD prices are inflated to the point of hilarity, nobody should be shocked that OEMs are pulling in record revenues.

Because they have had an ARM license for a long time, and want to use it?

Because ARM already has a thriving ecosystem with mature tools, due to it's ubiquitous use in mobile computing?

Did you even read the summary, or know how ARM works?

This thing can get down to single-digit watts if the performance is not required at that moment. And it says right there in the summary that it will go up to 80W, which is basically where any desktop gaming / performance chip sits (65 - 120W).

This will consume LESS watts while delivering more performance per watt, just like their Jetson Nano and Jetson AGX platforms do against x86-64 embedded and low-wattage alternatives (i.e. AMD Ryzen Embedded V3C14 / V3C18 or Intel Atom)

For what it's worth, Nvidia's drivers have always sucked pretty bad, going back to the RIVA TNT2.

Their hardware has always what has carried them. There is a reason why they do so many driver releases, and the ones released a year after the initial hardware launch usually have much better performance and stability on that hardware because their drivers suck.

Nvidia has basically already solved that. We're currently creating an ODM design that uses the Jetson Nano as the SoC complex, and we attach a shitload of IO on a carrier board, including a Marvell 10Gbe switch. We are creating our own EFI and loading essentially a slimmed Debian onto it - there's a few modules we need from Nvidia for their hardware drivers / board support and that's it. Granted, we aren't loading any GPU anything because it's meant to be a low-wattage chassis controller that has *some* compute grunt if needed for self-repair and management.

It's far better than it used to be, and it's not the weird shit that Raspberry Pi and the like use. There's a real EFI interface with TPM so you can target whatever bootloader you like, and sign whatever keys you like for secure boot.

Because some businesses still require software that only works on Windows, and therefore will require some cooperation from the publisher of Windows?

Fine by me. Where I work we just had to spend a down payment on a house to put 512GB of registered ECC DDR5 and 128TB of SSD into a box for virtualizing federated storage chaos testing for edge-cluster products. The same build 6 months ago would have been half the price, if not less.

It's good that our customers have very deep pockets, because we've already had to increase our (thankfully unannounced) list price on our new offering by almost 50% due to RAM and storage cost.

A world where Micron has a $1T market cap, is a world with a huge tech bubble that is about to pop.

It would be much more useful to teach kids how to think critically. Then they never see the ads because they understand the predatory business model, and just stop using Meta systems.

Yes, because we all know that multi-billion dollar businesses spitefully commit suicide all the time.

This is a bad take. This is as bad a take as not blaming a polluter for downstream pollution.

"It's not their fault that making rocket fuel necessitates dumping caustic toxic shit in the river!"

They know what they're doing, they know the harms, and they're saying "fuck it grab the money" and choosing wanton disregard for the damage being done. That's called negligence.

Kind of like Big Tobacco, doing basically the same shit.

And with the legal decision from TFA, we might get the same legal result - 50 AGs suing the shit out of Meta.

As a static fire test, massive failure.

As a giant expanding fireball, massive success!

Having an atmosphere makes using prop-powered aircraft possible.

The moon has no such convenience. Good thing "drone" doesn't necessarily restrict to flying - there's land-based drones (Mars rovers that have been in operation for a decade+), etc.

They'll have to carry reaction mass and use a thruster jet.
