    NVIDIA to Stick to Monolithic GPU Dies for its GeForce "Blackwell" Generation

    If you want the bigger chip pay up for it. This is like saying drivers are getting screwed because you can't pay for a ferrarri.

    Dekoni Resurrects Audeze's Much Loved Vegan LCD Headphone Earpads

    You can still own an ecologically healthy leather seated BMW that's electric. Leather has not vanished off the face of the planet. It's rather common and considered less wasteful than just chucking it after eating the cow. The issue with cows is not leather production but the fact that in...

    Dekoni Resurrects Audeze's Much Loved Vegan LCD Headphone Earpads

    It's for earpads! And they have been around for well over a decade. There are lambskin, calfskin, leather, foam, plastic, and vegan. Vegan just roughly translates into an organic cover (ie not plastic) that is not an animal hide. It's not even a marketing term it's a materials term. It's...

    ASUS Intros NUC 14 Performance Powered by Core Ultra 9 185H and GeForce RTX 4070

    I know a couple people who bought them and loved them. My area is downtown and full of luxury condos. Most people have a home office. They do not want a "gaming room" out of their office because that's 40 year old virgin crap. That's not something you want guests, dates, or god for bid on...

    The Race is Heating Up, Elon Musk's AI Startup xAI Raises $6 Billion

    No it's not a mania. The AI revolution more akin to the industrial revolution, the computer revolution, the internet revolution, and most like the automation revolution. Also your examples don't add up. Tulips and dot-comm were driven by average people. You know, morons. The railroad on the...

    NVIDIA RTX 5090 "Blackwell" Founders Edition to Implement the "RTX 4090 Ti" Cinderblock Design

    Consumers are already upset about costs now. Moving to a higher cost system will cause more crying. The only solution for consumers is going to be renting from a cloud service. PC gaming will go first.

    NVIDIA Blackwell GB200 Superchip to Cost up to 70,000 US Dollars

    IT'S NOT ABOUT THE 1% THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT FOR CONSUMERS. THIS IS A PRODUCT FOR BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES THAT SPEND BILLIONS THAT IT IS WHY IT IS AS GOOD AS IT IS AND THAT IS WHY THE PRICE.

    TSMC Unveils Next-Generation HBM4 Base Dies, Built on 12 nm and 5 nm Nodes

    AI is not eating all the HBM it's also available on pro cards aka quadro. The issue is that the cost of it is not really a good idea for consumer cards. And for all the footsies stompsies people already throw about the cost of GPUs imagine the billow biting and tantrums with the added costs of...

    Are the M4 Macs going to come with LN2?

    NVIDIA Blackwell GB200 Superchip to Cost up to 70,000 US Dollars

    The issue is that people are often afraid of the wrong things. While people panicking over things that are a long way out, and rather possibly not in our lives, what's on the horizon should scare them. We aren't that far off where "AI" could say use existing models of actors, writing, and...

    NVIDIA Blackwell GB200 Superchip to Cost up to 70,000 US Dollars

    You're kinda missing the point of AI. They aren't trying to build skynet or anything like that. They are trying to build things that can do research and other calculations that we currently can't. They are also trying to build systems so we no longer need to employee vast amounts of artists...

    NVIDIA Blackwell GB200 Superchip to Cost up to 70,000 US Dollars

    They aren't idiots these are being sold to major customers like Microsoft, Amazon, and others. They do not just run chatbots AI has a whole ton of uses it's being targeted for it's simply a super great predictive machine. These are companies that invest billions to make billions. This has...

    ZMF Caldera Closed Planar Magnetic Headphones

    People will laugh but they still sell FM radios and souped up tape decks because people like that. A better one will do better the question is how far you wanna go down that rabbit hole. The elder brother owns his own business, he's a comercial sculptor. He's actually a structural engineer...

    ZMF Caldera Closed Planar Magnetic Headphones

    So there are going to be three traps with quality of recording. The most obvious being the initial quality of the recording, how much editing was done, and blah blah blah. The next is that while any "good" vinyl system or CD level audio is going to work just fine there is a lot of bullshit out...

    NVIDIA RTX Remix Gets DLSS 3.5 With Ray Reconstruction

    This! Some companies do pump out gorgeous 2D hand drawn games that look amazing. There are games in the HD era that look like cartoons or water color paintings. The catch is they often get panned by people because they are 3D. Though that art style is still very popular in Japan. As for me...
