The question is where are these chips packaged? Potentially the wafers are shipped to the east for packaging, assembly and test.


People will be happy as long as it's not Taiwan (e.g. Singapore or Malaysia).


Packaging is much simpler


GF is 14/12 nm. Not really cutting edge anymore


I did find a way to have two gfx chips on a single AGP card without glue logic. See my comment above in this thread.


Back then, I came up with a way to connect two graphics chips onto a single AGP slot without a bridge chip or glue logic. Since AGP is a superset of PCI, both gfx chips will get recognized and enumerated. Then you just have the driver only ever use AGP bus mastering on one chip and PCI bus mastering on the other chip. It is not symmetric in terms of transfer speeds and a bit janky, but it does work.

Can you guess which product used this implementation?


VooDoo in SLI? Volari?!

That impact should show up in the plus/minus score?

https://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/rpm

For 2022/23 Green ranks 38. His defensive impact is very high but it is offset by his negative offensive impact.


Yeah that's what I meant by impact metrics. In the 2015-2017 playoff runs Green's impact is almost on-par with Curry. But for most people who watch basketball, they just look at the box score and don't look at advanced stats.


Not even just playoffs either, I think his rank in that three year RAPM range was fourth or something staggering, after Curry, Lebron, and I think Kawhi? My go-to RAPM site that did all the calculations was taken down so can’t currently cite the numbers


Standard plus minus is pretty crude since it obviously doesn’t filter out any context, and the ones that do[0] tend to be a better reflection of a player’s impact in their given role, not their overall quality, which is something that drives me up a wall with the nba analytics crowd.

It’s easy to fall victim to the McNamara fallacy (I’ve certainly been guilty of it), before you start understanding the innumerable intricacies in the domain. And basketball is the only domain I probably know better than 99% of HNers lol.

That being said, GP’s general point about Draymond is very true. Yes he’s one of the best defensive players of all time and one of the smartest as well. I think the main point is his incredible self awareness (yes get the jokes off). On defense it’s more subtle, such as not over committing and leaving his man etc but on offense is where it’s obvious. As his own shooting has fallen off a cliff, more and more when he’s dribbling unguarded he frantically looks around for Steph or klay to flow into a dribble hand off to pry them free for a shot.

He’s talked extensively about the criticism he’s faced for lack of shot attempts, with his rational being why would he ever shoot if he can instead try to get Steph a shot. He’s also mentioned if Klay hasn’t touched the ball in a few possessions, he makes sure to get Klay the ball with at least a decent look; otherwise the next time Klay gets the ball he’s shooting it regardless of how bad the shot is. He also frequently pushes the break[1] to catch the defense off guard and before they can set up.

He is still a negative offensively, but why I appreciate draymond so much is for the above reasons and the myriad other subtleties he does to maximize his benefit to the team and diminish the detrimental elements of his.

And lastly, standard plus minus is still a hell of a lot better than box score garbage, I don’t mean to crap on it.

(Steph actually ranked higher than Dray last year in pace (seconds per possession) on/off which is why separating Draymond himself is so difficult. Their relationship is certainly symbiotic, but Draymond is the one that optimizes for best interplay of their skills)

Apple helped define it!


AMD is slowly but surely expanding support for Radeon cards. It's not as extensive as Nvidia, but it is improving. ROCm supports RDNA2 now and RDNA3 support is coming this fall.

https://community.amd.com/t5/rocm/new-rocm-5-6-release-bring...


Nvidia making the decision 15 years ago to implement and support CUDA on anything with Nvidia stamped on it was brilliant.

Which is funny because it’s so obvious.

Imagine buying a CPU from a vendor, trying to run an application on it, and then finding out “oh I needed to get the blah blah blah x variant”.

Ridiculous, right? That’s AMD GPU, even before you get to the disaster that is their software.


You said it supports rdna2 but the fine print is only two workstation cards.


The only way to tell is to do a blood test. It took me taking 10k IU a day to get to the mid point recommended range. On the plus side, daily 10K IU is covered by my drug plan. I get my levels tested every 3 months.


It's a bit odd to me basing a purchasing decision on process nodes. I would consider overall product features rather the foundry or foundry node in of it self.

In fact, I'd rather being inclined towards n-1 node and not take the risk of being first for high volume manufacturing for a new node.


> It's a bit odd to me basing a purchasing decision on process nodes.

It's a bit odd to want a SOC with reduced power usage and/or improved performance?

> Compared to TSMC's N5 manufacturing technology, the company's N3 production node promises to deliver a 10% to 15% performance improvement (at the same power and transistor count), reduce power consumption by 25% – 30% (at the same frequency and complexity), and increase logic density by around 1.6 times.
