    South Korea Funds First Supercomputing CPU Designed for AI, HPC

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 05:30 AM PST

    Is there an actual technical reason that a separate cable is recommended for each 8-pin power connector on RTX 3000 GPUs?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 06:25 PM PST

    By that I mean if you have a non-crappy PSU, what actually happens if you use a single cable with 2x8-pin connectors? Do PSUs deliver "smoother" power through 2 GPU power outputs? Are the 18AWG wires that my PSU has not good enough to deliver 300W?

    Most PSU's I've seen have a single 12V rail that can deliver the full capacity of the PSU. So I'm wondering what really requires two separate cables other than an abundance of caution?

    Samsung announces Exynos 1080 SoC with ARM Cortex-A78 CPU cores and Mali-G78 GPU

    Is it possible to create a CPU with two different ISA?

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 11:44 PM PST

    It's 40 years we talk about pros and cons of RISC and CISC. Thanks to Apple, it seems clear that RISC (like ARM) can replace x86-64 architecture. It seems that RISC is better if we use burst of instructions, while CISC could be better under sustained load, but the main advantage of x86 architecture is that we have 40 years of software developed for it. So I was thinking: is it possible to create a CPU with two different kind of cores, x64 and ARM? Maybe exploiting AMD modular design?
