If malicious program has access to GPU directly or via some buggy interface, the whole system is at risk. There is no "safe" GPU virtualization like there is with CPUs.

Yeah, why do they change options so often. They should keep some backward compatibility, qemu is not a new project.

There is not much money in it for Intel . Intel tried to get into GPU-like products 14 years ago. They promote their consumer Arc GPUs since 2022, and still almost nobody wants them. Is there a datacenter Intel GPU that some business wants
8.
by stracer 2y ago
Yeah, but they can saturate fabs and provide income, which they need. Intel can't produce better CPU/GPU products than their competition now. Their design and manufacturing of CPUs has serious problems for years now. The big money

The idea of another competitive GPU manufacturer is nice. But it is hard to bring into existence. Intel is not in a position to invest lots of money and sustained effort into products for which the market is captured and controlled by a muc

Too late, and it has a bad rep. This effort from Intel to sell discrete GPUs is just inertia from old aspirations, won't really help noticeably to save it, as there is not much money in it. Most probably the whole Intel ARC effort will

Why would you ask that? MIC = Military Industrial Complex. The complex is made of both the industry and the military.

If Ryan McBeth defines MIC as just the defense companies, or its existence being conditioned on these companies having greater official revenues than Procter & Gamble, then he either misunderstands the concept, or he is (why?) trying to

It's a flop for people who expect that after 20months, they'll get 13%-18% more. Perhaps Steve did not know this "already well known fact" and thus wrote about flop and Intel 11-th gen vibes. How did you know before benc

Yeah, Moore's law seems to culminate and the rising tide with it. We seem to be entering an era where new tech improvements are mostly about integrated coprocessors and specialized workloads, and sometimes lower power.

Yep, after Zen 3-4/Alder Lake, we're now in another stagnation cycle like Intel Sandy Bridge brought in 2010-2015. For casual users, a good test if it's time to upgrade is - has the CPU speed, the memory speed doubled? If not

Steve's reviews are focused on gaming and he probably isn't wrong there. 9700X seems to bring very little for gaming, compared to 7700X. 7700X is almost the same performance, sometimes even better, and cheaper to buy. Most gamers

by stracer 2y ago
9700X system has materially the same performance and only a little lower consumption than similar 7700X system, which was released 21 months ago. It's stagnation like Intel 2010-2015.

If you wanted to upgrade from Zen3/4, don't get your hopes up... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF_bMt9fVm0 On average, 9700X is few percent faster than 7700X, and has slightly lower consumption. Upgrading from Z

Is this Russian authorities, or Google themselves, slowly leaving?

Not sure what your point is.

Polarization can be measured using polarization filter and light detector, but it is destructive in the usual sense of quantum theory. That is, if the detector after polarization filter clicks, we know the EM field had non-zero component in

I meant the message bits carried by the emission, but you're right, the way things are done, more bits are prepared at first, to make the message more resilient against noise, and only then all the bits are modulated onto the EM emissi

Is there some fundamental limit to the number of bits per photon that can be communicated via EM radiation? I think it does not exist, because photons aren't all equal, we can use very high frequency and X-ray quantum can probably carr

All transmitted bits are also received, at least when everything works as intended.
