    3 years ago, high-end 15 to 28 watt processors had just 2 cores. Now they have 8.

    Untill the second half of 2017, when Kaby Lake R was launched, high-end mobile CPUs in the 15 to 28 watt range just had 2 cores and 4 threads. You could spend as much money as you wanted, but even a Razer Blade Stealth or a MacBook Pro (13-inch) had just a dual-core processor. Right now, less then 3 years later, you can get Ryzen 7 4800U laptops with 8 cores and 16 theads under €1000 with the same 15 watt TDP. And that even includes a much, much more powerful GPU.

    Finally thin and lights great again!

    UniFi 6 Long-Range (U6-LR) and UniFi 6 In-Wall (U6-IW) access points appeared at the FCC

    Posted: 26 May 2020 07:36 PM PDT

    The UniFi 6 Long-range (U6-LR) and UniFi 6 In-Wall (U6-IW) access point popped up at the FCC earlier this week.

    The UniFi 6 In-Wall measures about 131 by 76 mm and contains one RJ45 PoE in port at the back and one PoE out along with 3 regular RJ45 ports at the bottom. This makes the device a tad smaller than the 139.7 by 86.7 mm UniFi In-Wall HD.

    The UniFi 6 Long-Range has a round design with a 176 mm diameter, so likely the exact same diameter as the UniFi AP AC LR, which could make it a drop in replacement. It has a single PoE-in RJ45 port.

    Effects of the ninth generation consoles on gaming PC hardware

    Posted: 26 May 2020 11:16 AM PDT

    This fall, Microsoft and Sony are planning to release their ninth generation consoles, the Xbox Series X and the PS5, onto store shelves throughout much of the world. The release of these consoles are going to have at least somewhat impact on the market of PC gaming market.

    While these future consoles have arguably already accelerated the adoption of ray tracing in GPUs and partially have facilitated a rise in the core count of CPUs, the impact of the consoles have not been fully felt yet. Even high end, ray tracing gaming PCs of today are, in many ways, weaker and less capable than the upcoming consoles (especially in the realms of audio acceleration, storage decompression, and, potentially, ray tracing performance).

    With these facts in mind, what do you think holds in the future of the gaming PC market?

    Here are some topics I think are ripe for discussion: 1. When do the specs of the ninth gen machines become the baseline requirements for AAA games on the PC? 2. When does accelerated ray tracing go from an optional feature to a requirement? 3. How is decompression handled on the PC once the consoles come out? 4. Will hardware accelerated audio make a comeback on PCs and how?

    NVIDIA A100 FP64 performance

    Posted: 26 May 2020 06:02 PM PDT

    The A100 has two FP64 modes:
    1-Traditional CUDA cores FP64 which is 9.5TFLOPs
    2-Tensor cores FP64 which is 19.5 TFLOPs

    Question is: why would NVIDIA split them like this? Why include CUDA cores FP64 at all if tensors are way faster?

    Can they be used simultaneously, as in added together to give us 29TFLOPs of FP64 performance?

    V100 SXM2 vs SXM3

    Posted: 26 May 2020 07:58 PM PDT

    The TDP of V100 SXM2 is 300W

    NVIDIA then raised SXM3 TDP to 350W to incorporate more HBM2 memory with the same clocks.
    However, I learned that TDP got increased again to 450W without any corresponding increase in clocks or memory, why is that? And is that under the same SXM3 name or SXM4?
