    Israel: We Are At War

    I did not claim that Hezbollah is a fascist party. I said that as a general rule, the fact that a party has grassroots support in a country doesn't automatically mean that banning it means "the end of democracy", and I've presented examples in different countries (Italy, Germany and Israel)...

    Israel: We Are At War

    Obviously, they have no reason to exist as a military organization with 100+ thousand rockets and missiles (130 thousand according to a google search that I did a few seconds ago). The last two large conflicts that have happened between Israel and Lebanon in the last 20 years happened after...

    Israel: We Are At War

    Yet, there is no signed treaty between Syria and Lebanon. Syria have ceded nothing. Assad would or wouldn't mind - it doesn't matter. Syria have never actually signed any document that gives Lebanon control of Shebaa Farms which are still theirs according to international law. Israel has...

    Israel: We Are At War

    That's not actually true. Here is an article from l'orient today from January 2024 which shows how Syria has repeatedly refused to ceed it officially or sign anything with Lebanon, and in private Syria actually claims that Shebaa Farms are actually Syrian.

    Israel: We Are At War

    Not going down this rabbit hole again, even by international law and the UN the Sheba Farms are not a part of Lebanon. UN has already signed 20 years ago that Israel has completely withdrawn from Lebanon. I like your way of thinking. Hezbollah attacked the Israeli military unprovoked first but...

    Israel: We Are At War

    I understand completely. If there existed an organization with an arsenal of tens of thousands of rockets, which fired thousands of rockets from Mexico into the US, and the Mexican government and army did nothing about it, the US should just suck it up instead of randomly attacking targets of...

    Israel: We Are At War

    Is this target of yours, the head of a terrorist organization bombing Germany from US soil, in this story of yours? This is such a disingenuous take. You're describing this as if there is some target that Israel just wanted to kill, and there's nothing else going on. Hezbollah has fired...

    Israel: We Are At War

    These are your words: "wonder how the US would react to some random country dropping a bomb". This is not some "random" country just bombing Dahieh out of nowhere or whatever, and does not reflect the current situation at all in any manner.

    Israel: We Are At War

    It's not a "random" bombing, Hezbollah has been bombing the shit out of northern Israel for the last year (More than 8000 rockets since October), including firing rockets into cities such as Haifa, Qiryat Shemona and Nahariyya. Note that Hezbollah started this whole thing when they started...

    News Intel GPUs - Battlemage IGP benchmarks are here

    If they really get to 4070S perf, RDNA4 could end up just around 15% faster. If they price it right, they could easily be competitive with AMD.

    Question GREATEST CPU OF ALL TIME (DESKTOP >1999)

    Kaby Lake was the first big sign of Intel's complete stagnation and process failures finally reaching its products. Basically re-releasing a minor improvement over SkyLake. Not even more cores or anything. IIRC some posters commented that "who cares that Intel released just minor improvement...

    Question GREATEST CPU OF ALL TIME (DESKTOP >1999)

    I agree. I still remember when Intel released prerelease benchmark numbers because they were so good and people here were in denial claiming Intel were making them up or fudging the numbers.

    Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    You're suggesting that Navi 48 at 240mm^2 will compete with the 4070ti at 294mm in raytracing? Do you think that the 240mm^2 will be "substantially faster" in RTX than the 7900xtx (Just the GCD is 304mm^2)?

    Amusing interview. He's talking as if having a flagship means that you can't also build products that have a large TAM. AMD's architectures have failed to deliver, so they need to say something about TAM or whatever. RDNA3 and probably RDNA4 have been a failure. They also told the same stories...

    would Nvidia have any interest in such a product? Tons of support, for what? They already have Geforce Now. Shield, for example, has been mostly abandoned with regards to hardware refreshes etc. I don't think that Nvidia would be allowed to buy Intel.

    Let's look at the data from Statista I dislike comparing different Qs, so I'll compare Q2 2021 to Q2 2024 (although max for Intel was q4 2021 with 6.7, but we don't have Q4 2024 yet). You can see that Intel went from Q2 2021 with 5.7B to about half in Q2 2024 (3B), yet of course their market...

    It doesn't have to mean it if the total pie gets much bigger. Let's say last year Intel made 50 dollars and Nvidia 10 dollars, and this year Intel still makes 50 dollars but Nvidia makes 100. Intel had 83% last year, but this year they only have 33%, but they've made the same amount of money...

    Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    I really hope they'll use 8700XT instead of 8800XT. The top Navi will surely be competitive with the 5070 at most. It'll also fit with RDNA1's naming scheme.

    Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    RDNA1 had 5700XT et al. (Navi 10) and 5500XT et al. (Navi 14) You're just making my point stronger. Even a relatively minor 12nm "shrink" got a new lineup (RX 580 was maybe 10% faster than RX 480). They could have easily done 485 instead. Grenada which was essentially Hawaii also got the R9 390...

    Discussion RDNA4 + CDNA3 Architectures Thread

    Not a chance, AIB partners won't allow it, and marketing wise nobody will buy it. It's better to rebrand the 7900xtx than keep RDNA4 with the previous gen naming. I'm not sure if this ever happened with a completely new GPU family. It'll make it much more difficult to find reviews, it'll make it...

    Odds of Biden stepping down, being replaced. Choose.

    He looked terrible in the debates. However, he had other issues like referncing Lloyd Austin as "the Black man", referencing Zelensky as Putin and other weird errors. I still think that he's capable of doing his job, currently, but do you think he'll have what it takes at 84 or 85? Putting...

    Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000)

    This is all, of course, my opinion. Maybe terribly is too harsh. However, if you look at the non-x TDP limited Zen4 (e.g. 7700 or 7900), I don't think that Zen5 is that impressive. ~10% better performance (Maybe a bit more for applications, lower for gaming) with ~10% better perf/watt. If...

    Bulldozer was an engineering failure that no amount of marketing could save. Yes, marketing failed of course, but in the end it was in many cases slower than Phenom II and ST performance was abysmal. RDNA3, for example, could have been released in a much better way. They should've used the...

    Not sure what you're responding to. Marketing has been terrible, and has in general has lost all credibility since RDNA3.

    There is enormous economic pressure to lower the current rate even though current rates are not high interest historically.

    0.75? Unless numbers change a lot, I don't see it. Stock market looks like it's on fire again, other numbers looking fine. Inflation is still high at 2.9%.

    According to TPU, the 9700x is 10% faster than the 7700 (non x) in non-gaming, while being 10% more power efficient while costing much more. Am I supposed to be amazed by this achievement? You can toss the TDP limit aside, and gain ~5% more performance, at the cost of efficiency. I'm OK with...

    9950x won't save Zen5. I think the 7950x3d will look like the best option after the 9950x releases. Consumers won't upgrade to a newer CPU in-order to save a few watts. We're not talking about laptops here. IMO If you can get almost identical performance, and pay less, but at the cost of...
