    Ok but you replied specifically to a mobile comment so desktop isn't relevant, this is also a mobile device. Tiger lake is out and is not after rocket lake, full stop. Desktop of each, maybe. Edit: I should also point out there's not really a desktop Tiger Lake. Tiger Lake H is a laptop chip they might sell in a desktop package. No K sku for sure. Rocket Lake is a true desktop backport of 10nm Willow Cove desktop cores. Tiger Lake is mobile Willow Cove.

    Using stock to pay for any merger/acquisition rather than cash or debt

    No, Tiger Lake is out, which is not after rocket lake.

    Any deal is likely to involve a lot of AMD stock but we'll see if this has any legs

    The mass ratio though is hilarious, especially with it being oil filled, I would expect this to literally run at near (+10) ambient temp at 600W.

    Each one of those die are probably the size of a Zen2 chiplet from eyeballing it. Each Zen2 8C chiplet can do a 95W TDP. Look at the size of the desktop CPU he compares it with in the video, that can handle over 100W on the intel side. If you OC them you can take them easily over 200W. 600W in this form factor is not a lot, but maybe they couldnt solder these to an IHS

    I'm still skeptical. Given the massive surface area to spread and dissipate heat I think 600W is pretty manageable. If the chips were soldered like they are now I'm sure it would have been sufficient. Chips are only getting smaller, the heat density here is actually pretty low compared to a Zen2 chip, The total of 600w isnt the problem because of the huge package.

    Just here to point out that it's probably a 24 thread CPU as the atom cores are not expected to implement SMT for efficiency reasons, this was probably unable to properly detect the heterogeneous processor core regime in use. Just like no avx on those atom cores. Also for anyone wondering: AMD will also go big.LITTLE eventually I'm sure as well but not before Zen4, could be Zen 5 even. Edit: Actually in the OP screenshots you can see that the Capacity is a maximum of 24T on all of the runs. So this is basically confirmed

    This is actually insane. I knew IBM had the first MCM CPUs but the ones I saw had less than 10 die I'm pretty sure. This is basically wafer scale computing but with all the complexities of packaging many many dies. The insane cooling for 10W per die seems super overkill. Modern CPUS can use up to 10W PER CORE often, 7nm zen chiplets are warm for a reason. It really makes me wonder what is possible today. The modern version of this is the Z15 CPU but I think that's a monolithic CPU (cant actually find any pics of the CPU but the block digaram is definitely a monolithic design) with "only" 12 cores. I wonder if IBM wanted to, what could they do now. Also makes Intel and AMD look like the chumps they kind of are. IBM's processor tech has always been much more advanced than Intel even, they just recently have been eclipsed by many core x86 cpus. Even POWER10 which IBM just announced wont be anything as crazy as this thing.

    I love this meme that iOS is more secure and/or private than latest Android. Let normies switch over to the walled garden and empty their wallets for Apple if they want. Meanwhile I'll be waiting for something like this to happen to Android:

    YAY 8 core 14nm++++++++++++++++++++++++++ backport CPUs, what a great deal. Totally sure they wont cost more than Zen3 and suck 2x power per core Also this is clearly Intel trying to get ahead of the Zen 3 announcement tomorrow

    ASUS thought they were slick by "mass producing" laptops with liquid metal but this is another level PS5 confirmed 6 heatpipes on a massive blower heatsink. It's a big ol reference GPU in cooler design with liquid metal tim, they claim equal to a vapor chamber.

    GN seems to believe them? Or at least their reply on that seems like they feel this is a legitmate reason. Seems more like we got caught so here's a nice story. Daily reminder this "individual sales subsidiary" always lists their only address as the MSI US HQ.

    They themselves are still "confirming" but I would bet all the money in my bank account it's MSI now, all the evidence points to it, it was shown that MSI does own MSI Computer Corp who owns Starlit Partner soooo yea, we got em. New speedrun record for the internet shitting down a company's throat? Edit: Now that I think about this company has existed for years? So they've been doing this for the last couple launches I bet, maybe not so speedrun

    It's definitely MSI.

    How did I not hear od SXOS before this? Did it work on newer consoles? I was looking into soft modding mine but it was too new and this never came up in my research. Not that I would have PAID for it lmfao. Edit: Looks like they had plans to make a jjg for it, or maybe had a hard mod that could be soldered for v2 switches, interesting

    That's EXACTLY what a crazy person that still uses icon packs/ themes in 2020 would say
  23. S w a t s o n
    Aww the wittle apple fanbois can play with icon packs now. I'm sure they'll get bored of it in a couple years like anyone sane using Android did.

    In terms of being ethical, the shop repairing and reselling them is far superior to recycling them, but ofc everyone has to get theirs so because they made a bit of money actually making sure these get reused instead of recycled, now everyone else is jealous. Maybe just change the recycling policy to be less shit

    I'll happily take a higher TDP to clock the shit out of 16 cores. I got 12 phases that are basically idling with my 3600x, lets go
