Fable not being an MMO is a relief. Just a long wait now :(

Logitech and Herman Miller join forces on US$1,495 gaming chair

I saw that chair on a PCGamer article. Ridiculous.

And I lol'ed at the thought of Intel going to another suppplier for their chips. With TSMC having its 7nm production so booked by Apple, AMD, etc. that Nvidia had to go to Samsung, where will Intel go?

That Octane Render result is a bit underwhelming IMO, considering it scaled nearly exactly from the Tesla P100 with no IPC improvements whatsoever, but a 150W increase in power consumption despite the more advanced node.

Yes, yes, they've added some ray tracing machinery and all, but... 400W man. And an even larger die and higher transistor density than ever before.

Suikoden Veterans Announce Eiyuden Chronicle

https://rpgamer.com/2020/07/suikoden-veterans-announce-eiyuden-chronicle/

"Rabbit & Bear Studios is a new studio based in Tokyo founded by Suikoden series creator Yoshitaka Murayama. The studio has announced its debut title, Eiyuden Chronicle, which will undergo a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign starting on July 27, 2020. Eiyuden Chronicle is being developed for PC initially, with console versions under consideration, with a planned launch in late 2022."

Here's a teaser trailer.

GN once in a while does these waifu case/components reviews that they get from China since it's very popular in the asian markets. One of the amusing things about this case is that it lists the tits size in the spec sheets of the waifu.

That's probably the easiest way to allow for smooth sailing, at least for the first while. So ARM would kind of be like G-Sync in a way sort of, minus requiring Nvidia products? License out the tech but also use it to your benefit? ARM having someone like Nvidia to really push the tech in terms of performance and chase x86 would be exciting.

Just saw Moores Law is Dead say Intel's got even bigger issue's behind the scenes as 7nm just may be another 10nm or worse. 2023 for 7nm. Another 3 years for AMD to keep gaining ground and likely beyond that.

To me this is good for now and great for the foreseeable future. Intel didn't just need a spanking, they needed a cricket bat line up worth, and they're getting it. You're right that we don't want AMD becoming Intel, but even if AMD can keep the momentum up as is and build more yet, they still have a long long way to go before they become anything like Intel overall. AMD is nowhere big enough a corp to be a major threat, even for years to come if they grow. This would actually help keep the balance going forward once Intel makes a come back.

You're right though that we don't want Intel to fall too far behind. However, tiny AMD was like a decade behind, and look what they were able to do, so even if it takes Intel until 2025 ish to really get competitive again, they should be able to keep AMD honest enough. I'm ok with it as long and AMD puts enough back into R&D and doesn't just blow the marketing budget out of proportion like Intel, while keeping prices reasonable compared to past Intel top tier products. AMD should also bank some dough while they can because odds are good that when Intel finally decides they've had enough, AMD could find themselves trailing again for a while.

Then again if Intel pulls a faildozer, maybe people will seriously have to start rooting for Nvidia. Though, if they ever gain the CPU performance crown, it's going to cost limbs..

Yeah holy shit at Intel. Stock dropping like its hot.

I'm really hoping they recover but damn, not looking good. Looking at other fabs is short term and even they couldn't get in there. Big oof.

They better do something fast, they're hurting my stocks.
