They needed the IP.

You can’t just build a 3D accelerator. It’s billions of dollars in licensing basic building blocks.

Easiest way to get in is to buy your way in.

Not possible for every device, plenty of TP-Link xDSL modem/routers out there.

Intel realized it back then too, but things didn’t pan out the way they wanted.

nVidia and AMD were going to merge while ATi was circling the drain. Then Jensen and Hector Ruiz got into their shitfight about who was going to be CEO of the marged AMD/nVidia (it should have been Jensen, Hector Ruiz is an idiot) which eventually terminated the merger.

AMD, desperately needing a GPU side for their ‘future is fusion’ plans, bought the ailing ATi at a massive premium.

Intel was waiting for ATi to circle the drain a little more before swooping in and buying them cheap, AMD beat them to it.

You think Intel is going to have 500-850mm^2 dies?

That’s what they need to compete in the GPU space.

For being employees of sanctioned companies…

They need to.

Siri is basically unusable compared to ChatGPT.

Verge is just trash opinions on a real article. We can get the trash opinions here :)

AMD Doing everything they can to make sure Intel and nVidia stay on top.

Which ironically, would also have less emf if they allowed the tower to be built, as is they’ll have higher emf and less battery life, since the radios will have to transmit at a higher power to get a good enough snr to next closest tower in their cell.

VW has been doing it for years anyway.

Multiple features of their infotainment are there but softlocked out, the engines on the more powerful trim levels aren’t different or tuned, it’s just a different ecu map, etc.

It’s pretty clear they’re trying to fire him to due to not wanting to fire 50 developers.

Mozilla is a for-profit corporation now, there isn’t room for products like Firefox that don’t make money.

A hit-piece on AI.

Trying to associate AI and anyone that uses it with Nazis.

It’s a hitpiece.

We are.

Addressing-wise, no we don’t have consumer level 128bit CPUs and probably won’t ever need them.

Instructions though, SSE had some 128bit ops (OR/XOR, MOVE) and AVX is 128bit vector math. AVX2 is 256bit vector math, AVX512 is- you guessed it 512bit vector math. AltiVec on PPC had 128bit vectors 20 years ago.

Only on consumer Windows.

Windows Server never had the problem. But wouldn’t allow Creative Labs drivers to be installed either…

If it can make Siri read out the definition of a word on Apple Watch instead of pointing me to a web page to read on my own, that’d be real neat.
