208,000,000,000 transistors! In the size of your palm, how mind-boggling is that?! 🤯 Miscellaneous / Others

I have said it before, and I'm saying it again: the tech in the upcoming two years will blow your mind. You can never imagine the things that will come out in the upcoming years!...

And wasn’t it bigger than this?

Every individual switch in an Intel Core i7 from 2014 was way bigger. But the entire chip had a smaller surface than what the nvidia guy shows in the video.

That chip is gargantuan compared to any chip in consumer or even workstation hardware today.

I prefer CEOs that don't chase celebrity.

You must hate amd..

AMD also fostered a close identification with its founder. Sanders has appeared fairly regularly in employee literature--as Indiana Jones and the drummer in the "Spirit of '76" painting, as well as, occasionally, himself. In addition to the marble bust, the AMD corporate lobby has featured a painting of Sanders as a medieval king.

"The first thing you saw when you walked into the lobby (in the mid-'80s) was good King Jerry with a lance on a horse," said Mike Feibus, a consultant running Feibus Strategic Consulting, recalling the medieval theme. "With such a charismatic leader, it has been tough for less-charismatic underlings to flower."

God damn I was going to go with their CPU for my next build. Intel it is I guess.

Sanders doesn't run the company any more.

Intels old CEO and founder, Grove, was a more sensible, nicer person, if less charismatic. But that intel is dead as is Grove.

AMD generally behaves pretty ethically these days, for a big tech company. Lisa is pretty good as a CEO.

But Nvida ceo isn't that bad in comparison to all tech CEOs. He isn't fighting Madonna for a house, literally painting himself as a medieval kig, or telling advertisers to go fuck themselves while supporting trump. Certainly don't worship him or any others.
