From a business perspective.
If I'm shopping for an Enterprise laptop right now, I'm looking for AMD CPU's. Better thermals and Performance for the price, I'm missing some the of the Intel Features, but its worth it.
Dell has a very limited selection of business grade laptops that have AMD chips inside them. But I can get Thinkpad X, T or E model Lenovo's or HP Probooks with Ryzen CPU's no problem. (Supply issue aside)
On the Server side, Dell has a decent selection of servers that support EPYC.
Why should I pay $1600+ for an XPS13 when I can get a better X1 for $1400, starting model(No Feature parity)

Ooh, This would come in handy for an dashboard wall.
At a previous place of employment we had multiple computers driving 9 wall TV's displaying data. 1 computer per 3 displays.
With PCI M.2 Expansion slot you could have one PC drive as many displays as it has slots available.

Twice the performance per watt at 10 watts power envelop, but we have no idea which chip they are comparing against (probably the Intel chip in the latest Macbook
This is the interesting part, I'm curious to see how it will compare.
My guess is that its going to go ahead against the new mid range mobile CPU's in terms of performance but better thermals.
Glad they are pushing USB 4, it should equal things out for the thunderbolt vs USB shit fest.
Looks like "PCI lanes?" are very limited for now, I expect that will be resolved for desktop versions later.

I'm Just happy both sides are pushing a really good increase in performance compared to last gen.
Whats interesting now is that some cards are made with one specific resolution in mind, with one series for each major resolution. Its adding a layer to the market. 2070/5700 was aimed at 1440p, 2080 and 3080 are aimed at 4K and the 3090 at 8K.

It would be a great acquisition by GreenPower Motor Company from BC.

One area where I believe there needs to be innovation is in image processing in camera. The reason why your phone photo can look so clean and sharp with such a high F stop and small sensor is because of image processing in the phone.
That's a big no no, you do not want any processing from the camera on a DSLR. You want the image to be as raw as possible and process the image yourself later.
From a consumer side it might be appealing, but I think its too late to save the consumer DSLR market.

The DSLR market has been shrinking for a while now and is going to keep shrinking.
From 2014: https://www.eoshd.com/photo/market-dslrs-shrinking-dramatically-canon-nikon-blame/
The fact that most people are happy with the good enough camera's that are on phones is one of the factors shrinking this market. I don't think its going to kill it tho. Its going to become a specialized market instead of a general consumer market. Hell think of the last time you went to a tourist spot, most of them are using their phones, not a point and shoot or a DSLR.
My Pentax K series still kills it compared to an Iphone 11 or Oneplus 8.

I've had no issue with the drivers for my 5700 XT.
Physically though I've done the following:
- tighten one loose screw on the cooler bracket. it was quite loose.
-
recently removed the piece of metal in between the 2 slots needed for the 5700 XT. It was in the way of one of the exhaust.
This has dropped the temps to normal levels and the fans are quite less noisy.

That might be pushing it a bit, Lenovo assigned me a 65W power brick. But I'll definitely keep that one in mind.
The E595 need a Minimum of 45W to charge. So anything with a 60W power delivery rating will work no issues.
Bellow 45W it might function but not charge.

Any recommendation for a strong computational workstation outside of Dell and Thinkpads? They both really don't seem like solid investments for my team. Every single linux user switched to mac
What the use case? Laptop or Desktop?

I'm in the same boat. Only USB-C port on my E595 is for charging.
Still kind of sad to hear about.
I've got good news for you, you can use these no issue https://www.startech.com/ca/Cards-Adapters/Laptop-docking-stations/usb-c-mini-docking-station~DKT30CHPD
Its what I assign everyone here with E495 or E595's.

That's what I thought of, plus it'd do great for running all sorts of low-load stuff, like e.g. HomeAssistant or OpenHAB, Nextcloud etc. Personally, I really do want one! Hell, I wouldn't mind several ones! I am already well familiar with running Linux on ARM, programming ARM-devices and so on, so I know reasonably well what I'd be getting into.
Having a SFP+ Ports makes it even more viable for something like a NAS. 10Gbit networking is getting cheaper real quick.

Huawei is planning to enter the desktop PC market with its upcoming Kunpeng 920 ARM v8 powered desktop PC motherboards!
The supported processors for this motherboard, the Kunpeng 920 ARM v8, offer different core counts, starting with 4 core and 8 core models for the desktop PC segment and scaling all the way up to 64 cores with server motherboards that are also expected to launch later on. The CPU itself is based on a 7nm process node and features support for PCIe 4.0 and DDR4 memory with speeds of up to 2400 MHz.
Huawei is planning to release two separate models of these motherboards, the Kunpeng Desktop Board D920S10, and Huawei's S920X00 server motherboard. The D920S10 is a very robust desktop motherboard supporting PCIe 3.0, six SATA 3.0, and two M.2 SSD slots. This motherboard offers some fantastic features like supporting a total of 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, along with supporting ECC memory. The ethernet port offers 25 GB per second, making this motherboard offer amazingly fast ethernet, also included in connectivity is the four USB 3.0 and four USB 2.0.
Huawei D920S10 Desktop PC Motherboard Features:
Board Model D920S10 Processors 1 Kunpeng 920 processor with 4/8 cores & 2.6 GHz Internal Storage 6 SATA 3.0 hard drive interfaces, 2 M.2 SSD slots Memory 4 DDR4-2400 UDIMM slots, maximum capacity 64 GB PCIe Expansion 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 3.0 x4, and 1 PCIe 3.0 x1 slots LOM Network Ports 2 LOM NIC, supporting GE network ports or optical ports USB 4 USB 3.0 and 4 USB 2.0 Huawei has been in the server world for a while now, selling mostly in asian markets, so this would be their entry in the PC market. It looks like they are targeting the Entreprise side of things. The LOM port seems to be a SFP+ port but I am having issues find the documentation on it.
With China going away from American made computers and computer parts, these Huawei PC's would fill in the gap.

The study suggest that instead to use brighter light during the day, and dimmer light in the evening to help you sleep.
This is something that should be automatic in monitors like in cell phones, where the brightness is adjusted automatically with the amount of surrounding light. I'm kinda surprised its not come up yet?
Not a lot of people know this but when you drive at night you should dim your dashboard to allow you to see better and further. This applies mostly outside of cities.

From the configuration page of Bitlocker
QuoteIf you want to use BitLocker on a computer without a TPM, select Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM. In this mode, a password or USB drive is required for startup. The USB drive stores the startup key that is used to encrypt the drive. When the USB drive is inserted, the startup key is authenticated and the operating system drive is accessible. If the USB drive is lost or unavailable, BitLocker recovery is required to access the drive.
On a computer with a compatible TPM, additional authentication methods can be used at startup to improve protection for encrypted data. When the computer starts, it can use:
- only the TPM
- insertion of a USB flash drive containing the startup key
- the entry of a 4-digit to 20-digit personal identification number (PIN)
- a combination of the PIN and the USB flash drive
There are four options for TPM-enabled computers or devices:
-
Configure TPM startup
- Allow TPM
- Require TPM
- Do not allow TPM
-
Configure TPM startup PIN
- Allow startup PIN with TPM
- Require startup PIN with TPM
- Do not allow startup PIN with TPM
-
Configure TPM startup key
- Allow startup key with TPM
- Require startup key with TPM
- Do not allow startup key with TPM
-
Configure TPM startup key and PIN
- Allow TPM startup key with PIN
- Require startup key and PIN with TPM
- Do not allow TPM startup key with PIN
With TPM you can unlock the data without the TPM as long as you have one of the 3 other unlock options.
From my understanding T2 is locked and set to the board, which is not repair friendly for both personal or business.

I used an X1 at a previous job, great machine all round.
Personally, I would not get the touch screen and save some battery life.
For the Deep learning what are you looking to do? Image processing, AI, path finding, etc, these can change the processing requirement and may be better run on CPU than GPU.

Make sure your not putting your PC in the WiFi donut blind spot and sometimes being too close to a Wifi Access point can cause issues.

For pro grade stuff you are looking at 300$ plus per camera for sure, Honeywell is a great choice.
Check out Synology's compatibility list: https://www.synology.com/en-global/compatibility/camera Most of the camera's there are Pro grade. But personally I recommend Panasonic or Sony if you can afford it, they work with pretty much every system.
The biggest issue I see with IP cams is retention time, most people or companies don't realize how expensive it can be to hold months of video data.

We have also devoted ourselves to undervolting, partly because AMD GPUs here often have great potential for improvement.
For undervolting we achieved the above results. For example, with the Radeon RX 5700, we were able to reduce the voltage from 0.987 to 0.937 V at almost the same clock - the power consumption drops by about 7.5%. At the same time the GPU temperature dropped by 9 ° C and the fans could turn slightly slower.
For the Radeon RX 5700 XT the undervolting even increased the clock, but we could not keep up the power consumption. However, more power with the same power consumption is certainly also to be judged as a positive result. At the same time, the GPU temperature drops, even though we let the fans spin at the same speed to keep the clock going.
Personal note:
With better drivers in the future and Undervolting we should be able to get some nice boost from the RX 5700 series. A bit like the Vega 56, which started low and ended high. Getting a partner RX should make this even more appealing as cooling will be exponentially better.

More Juicy Leaks girls and boys:
QuoteThe entire list of ASUS’s GeForce RTX 20 SUPER and Radeon RX 5700 series custom graphics card lineup has been leaked by Videocardz (via Komachi). The leaked list includes at least 33 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 SUPER series custom cards and 16 AMD Radeon RX 5700 series custom graphics cards which will be launching in July.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20 SUPER and AMD Radeon RX 5700 Series Custom Graphics Card Lineup From ASUS Leaks Out, At Least 49 New Cards For July 2019
We all know by now that the next two big launches in the graphics market are the GeForce RTX 20 series from NVIDIA and the Radeon RX 5700 series from AMD. Leaks, rumors, official information can be found for both series and while the reference variants are expected to be available on the launch day for each specific lineup, we know that real enthusiasts are waiting for the custom cards which offer better cooling, overclocking and higher clock speeds out of the box.
NVIDIA SUPER:
AMD RX 5700:
Looks like today is leak day. All these new products are going to make picking a new GPU quite harder. As an enthusiast I am absolutely happy we are out of the tech rut we had in the past two years. I have no reason to keep my old 290 now.
Enjoy
Intel was rather misleading in its comparisons between the Core i9-12900K and Ryzen 9 5950X

Summary
It seems that Intel was not telling the full story when it compared the Core i9-12900K against the Ryzen 9 5950X, currently AMD's most comparable processor. As it turns out, Intel allowed the Core i9-12900K to consume 2.4x the power of its AMD competitor and benchmarked the Ryzen 9 5950X using an older version of Windows 11 with AMD performance issues.

My thoughts
This kind of behavior is nasty and only damages their reputation more for those who care. I'm sure some will miss this article and still believe the original quotes from Intel . The fact that misinformation is getting everywhere is worrying.
Also 240W vs 105W is quite the difference, around 228% more power draw.
