    Raja Koduri claims Intel is working on something like an ASIC to replace GPU mining. What would that look like?

    Posted: 30 Dec 2021 11:12 AM PST

    I would hope they can free the gaming GPU market from the grip of miners.

    How much of a GPUs core components outside of memory bandwidth are actually needed for mining? What parts inside a GPU could be completely stripped out or scaled way down without having any significant effect on hash rate? Is it possible to build a GPU the size of the die on an RX 6600xt or 5700xt at like 230-250mm2, but with the memory bus and memory bandwidth of an RTX 3080ti/3090?

    I feel like if you could take something like an RX 6600xt, and remove all the unnecessary stuff for mining on it, such as video output, the media engine, and all L3 infinity cache cache, and then triple the memory controllers to make a 384 bit bus, 12GB card with 18gbps memory. How much compute do you actually need on a theoretical card like this? People are already underclocking these to sub 800-1000mhz rates, so it seems like even 3-4 TFLOPS is good enough to feed that card. I don't think this potential card would need even more than 10 TFLOPS if even that.

    No one would want these cards once they are done being flogged to death, but if they can charge as much money for them as a current RTX 3070, while costing less to make than a 6600xt, and being as profitable as a 3090, it's a win either way. Especially since it'll make GPUs look bad for mining.

    Why must updating a BIOS be so stressful?

    Posted: 31 Dec 2021 11:11 AM PST

    Just updated it on my HP laptop and the update started from Windows, restated, did some stuff, restarted, did some more stuff, some more restarts, blank screen and blinking lights. And warnings about never shutting off your computer of course.

    In the end I was just glad it started up again, never mind the new fixes or features. After all the stress you are just glad you haven't bricked it.

    It's not much better doing it on a desktop PC, although worst case there is just replacing the motherboard.

    But still, you'd think there'd be a more sure way of doing this, or at least a way to know your computer will still boot even if you screw it up somehow.
