AOTS recently got an update that allowed more CPU cores to be used. Someone should do a benchmark with a Ryzen 5950X on the updated game version first.

AMD's TDP doesn't make any sense either, people just aren't as focused on it, since the difference between the TDP number and actual power consumption isn't as big as with Intel. Both companies should give a per-CPU number for "heat dissipated under sustained load at 80C".

Pay money to get better 0-60 times and degrade your battery faster. Tesla is already pushing the current battery technology to its limits, that is why it is forced to lock some cars out of Supercharging and why there are so many used Teslas with replaced batteries on the market. What a waste.

I have some bad news for you; Meanwhile, Mercedes just announced their first vehicle (a bus) with a solid-state battery. Very revolutionary, and it is mass transportation, so it actually does what Tesla's "mission" claims to be about - fighting climate change.

TSMC has no problems with that node by itself, it looks like this is either a problem with not reaching higher clock speeds and/or the SOC reaches the required speeds, but at too high voltage/power consumption. Another aspect of the PS5 is that part of the SOC is designed by Sony (an IO chip for decoding SSD data), maybe that part is problematic.

FX9590 didn't overtake Intel in performance. This might. Or at least pull further away in games. Sure, I hate huge power draw as much as the next person, but holding higher boost clocks for longer will improve performance. Yes, I would guess that this is intended to keep boost for longer, not to increase max frequency, no? It should still help, especially since P2 isn't just higher, but also lasts longer.

That would also significantly boost performance. If it is true, Intel will overtake AMD again. Yes, at the expense of power consumption, but if you are already buying a high-end machine you probably don't care as much about that. A good move from them IMO.

Q3 and Q4 2018 were very good, yet Tesla was unprofitable that year. So were Q3 and Q4 2019, yet Tesla was unprofitable. A single quarter is meaningless, since quarterly reports are unaudited and any company can internally engineer a good quarter at the expense of other quarters. It looks like Elon threw everything he could at Q1 2020, including Tesla drawing maximum from its credit facilities in order to boost cash on hand, cashing in all regulatory credits (Tesla usually spreads those more evenly over the year if they have an unexpected influx of them in a specific quarter) and they have already realized around 50% of "autopilot" "FSD" deposits as profits, even tho Autopilot "FSD" is far from complete and is still incredibly bugged.

Tesla never had a profitable year, 2020 will be no different. Q1 2020 was boosted by an unexpected influx of regulatory credits for Tesla. Also, Q1 2019 was a complete disaster, so improving on that doesn't mean much. Especially since Tesla had an additional factory running in China for a few weeks and only shut down US production because of Coronavirus on the 23th of March, so close to end of Q1.

Public transit existed way before electric cars did. Also, subsidies for electric cars are taking away funds from public transport.

This is consistent with a lot of other leaks. Very promising.

We will most likely see new Zen2 EPYC chips announced. The good thing is that it should be easy to estimate Ryzen 3-series performance from Zen2-based EPYC chips.

I have no idea why everyone is looking at market cap. Market cap can change a lot in a single day. I'd say that currently Tesla is insanely overvalued. Tesla is nowhere close to being a big player in the car industry. They will need to sell at least 10x more cars per year to catch up to Ford. This means a lot of new products. Factories for new products are nowhere to be seen, if they want to start producing Tesla Semi and Model Y in 2020, they need to start building a new factory in 2017.

Consumers yes. But not review sites like Anandtech. They might have to be much more careful.

Going over their 5000 cars/week numbers doesn't help them at all, since they are making a ~$10k loss per every Model 3 produced. If anything, producing more cars will make their problems worse.
