cloud backup software

Depends on amount of data you have and price you are willing to pay. You can use e.g. Duplicati (FOSS) to backup (encrypted) data to most of popular cloud services. Other option is to use Cryptomator (FOSS), Boxcryptor or Veracrypt (FOSS, use only if service supports delta sync) to have easier...

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

5. Apple might take 50% of total market-share in segments they have their products available. Unless they start making $400-$700 laptops in near future, it will not happen. Largest part of laptop market-share is in $500-$1000 range. Probably is similar for desktops. Also, most people buying...

Question 'Ampere'/Next-gen gaming uarch speculation thread

But wouldn't 2x3080 20GB be way better (and bit more expensive) than 3090? https://techgage.com/article/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3090-proviz-performance/ https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/NVIDIA-GeForce-RTX-3080-10GB-RTX-3090-24GB-Review-Roundup-1899/

Apple A14 - 5 nm, 11.8 billion transistors

Everything is moving to cloud. Whatever is missing, there will be option to access it via web browser - CAx (Onshape, SimScale...), science (MathWorks Cloud, Google Cloud...), gaming (Stadia, xCloud...), office (MS Office Online, Collabora...). The only problem users might face is, all of these...

Question Speculation: RDNA2 + CDNA Architectures thread

From Slimbook So I would say there was/is no enough capacity to make Navi 2x. I think we'll see paper-launch on 28th

Nvidia has approached Softbank and is considering buying ARM Holdings

U84 looks very nice https://www.sifive.com/cores/u84 In other news, IBM decided to make A20 open-source. While it is not direct ARM competitor, it might be interesting in some areas where ARM is currently used https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=IBM-OpenPOWER-A2O

Question Speculation: RDNA2 + CDNA Architectures thread

I don't know what bug you are talking about, but I had 3 monitor setup for some time, with R7 260X and RX 570, and no problems

Question Speculation: RDNA2 + CDNA Architectures thread

But that is from Tensor cores, and IIUC, can be used only for DL/NN applications, not for general computing. Or even if it could, does it require additional code change or nVidia's hardware/software handles it automatically?

Question Speculation: RDNA2 + CDNA Architectures thread

I don't get this one https://adoredtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/4-wm.png If MI100 is 2,4x faster in FP32 and 2x slower in FP16,where in A100 FP16 is 4x FP32, it would mean MI100 FP32 is faster than its FP16? Ok, slide says "up to", but still it would mean FP32=FP16 in TFLOPS? I mean...

News The Exciting Future of AMD Socket AM4

Well, they also say 300 series MBs don't support Zen2 CPUs, but that is not the case. So I suppose some vendors might add Zen3 support on some X470/B450 MBs

Question B550 chipset, so AMD joins the dark side after all.

Raid (1) is not backup ;) If you need more than 4 disks, you are not average user, so you can expect average hardware doesn't suit your needs

[Rumor, Tweaktown] AMD to launch next-gen Navi graphics cards at E3

Do people still think nVidia drivers are (way) more stable than AMD's? Literally every new nVidia's architecture product was launched with bunch of issues, and took some time to be solved, just like AMD's. IMHO, it is better be early adopter who buys RX 5700XT for 400€ and have to live with...

[Rumor, Tweaktown] AMD to launch next-gen Navi graphics cards at E3

One big problem for AMD is volume. High-end dGPU market is ~5% (volume, not earinings). And AMD might have 20% of those. So they are probably selling 0,5M units a year, which might not be enough to justify high production cost. At the same time, nVidia might be selling 2M units or more (gaming +...

Question Ray Tracing is in all next gen consoles

Fixd :) I find HW based RT very usefuly, but not for games. Unfortunately, at this point, there are no (engineering) CAD software packages that utilises RT block from RTX cards for real time ray tracing (maybe latest Solidworks, I'm not sure). Most of them still use CPU. But I know Creo and SW...
