Can PCIE 4 deliver more power to a GPU than PCIE 3? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 11:15 PM PDT My understanding is that the limit for a PCIE x16 slot is 75W of power delivery, but is that the same for PCIE 4 as well? My impression is that PCIE 4 uses more power, and I was just wondering if some of that is for power delivery. submitted by /u/lliamander [link] [comments]

NVMe 1.4 SSDs when? Posted: 16 Sep 2020 05:47 PM PDT I feel like this is very underhyped SSD feature (compared to PCIe 4.0) that's right around the corner (I assume, since it's been months since the spec released) yet there's very very few information on when it will materialize for the average consumer (Kioxia seems to have launched NVMe 1.4 SSDs but for data center). Does anyone have any information on when we can expect them? submitted by /u/Iron_Overheat [link] [comments]

Apple A14 SoC: It doesn't make sense to only compare CPU & GPU performance anymore Posted: 17 Sep 2020 02:29 AM PDT It's really not that useful to compare CPU & GPU performance between Apple SoCs, Apple vs AMD, and Apple vs Intel when only half of the A14 silicon is used for CPU and GPU. With 11.8b transistors, the new A14 chip has almost as many transistors as the RTX 2080 and 15% more than a full 3950x chip. It's got accelerators for so many types of applications including ML, audio, camera, video editing, storage, and security. When we just look at performance for normal applications, we might miss huge increases in other areas that normal benchmarks just don't capture. Apple has data on what apps and functions people use and they optimize the performance of their chips for those workloads. They can de-prioritize raw CPU or raw GPU performance if they see from the data that it's not going to make that much of a difference. This is the beauty of designing your entire stack. You can optimize for exactly what your users need instead of buying a chip from a 3rd party that optimizes for many general things. So when people on these forums make claims like Apple's Mac chips won't be able to touch Zen2 or Zen3 chips, they're missing the forest for the trees. These Apple SoCs pack so many different useful accelerators that Intel and AMD processors just don't have and can't have because their designs optimize for the general workload. An example is the Apple T2 Mac chip which accelerates some video editing tasks that no Ryzen or Intel chip can match. Traditional benchmarks aren't designed to fully utilize custom chips like Apple's SoCs. Unfortunately, I don't really have an answer to how to objectively measure Apple SoCs. submitted by /u/senttoschool [link] [comments]
