Readit NewsBut I am purely guessing ARM has risen their price per core so it makes less financial sense to do a yearly update on CPU. They are also going into Server CPU business meaning they now have some incentives to keep it all to themselves. Which makes the Nvidia moves really smart as they decided to go for the ISA licences and do it by themselves.
Im also confused why you say China's inaction on Taiwan isnt about TSMC its about patience, but patience is running out because China wont need TSMC in 10 years. That seems to contradict itself.
Do you think an invasion of Taiwan brings risk of a new, worse status quo? I think that's primarily why China doesn't invade. If it were possible to just achieve an easy, total victory then there is no reason to wait for Taiwanese people to change their mind about joining China.
The reason China doesn't want to is because they want a peaceful reunification. They want to wait when it's so obvious that Taiwan would lose and lose quickly that Taiwan simply gives itself up.
What's with posting 5 year old medium articles about a different version of Geekbench? Geekbench 5 had different multicore scaling so if you want to argue that version was so great then you are also arguing against Geekbench 6 because they don't even match.

"AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3995WX, a huge 64 core/ 128 thread part, was performing at only 3-4x the rate of an Intel D-1718T quad-core part, even despite the fact it had 16x the core count and lots of other features."
"With the transition from Geekbench 5 to Geekbench 6, the focus of the Primate Labs team shifted to smaller CPUs"
That three-year old press-release refers to SINGLE CORE Geekbench and not the defective multicore version that doesn't scale with core counts. Given AMD's main USP is core counts it would be an... unusual choice.
AMD marketing uses every other product under the sun too (no doubt whatever gives the better looking numbers)... including Passmark e.g. it's on this Halo Strix page:

So I guess that means Passmark is "endorsed" by AMD too eh? Neat.
The standard is SPEC, which correlates with with Geekbench.

Every time there is a discussion on Apple Silicon, some uninformed person always brings up Passmark, which is completely outdated.
This is not true. For high-throughput server software x86 is significantly more efficient than Apple Silicon. Apple Silicon optimizes for idle states and x86 optimizes for throughput, which assumes very different use cases. One of the challenges for using x86 in laptops is that the microarchitectures are server-optimized at their heart.
ARM in general does not have the top-end performance of x86 if you are doing any kind of performance engineering. I don't think that is controversial. I'd still much rather have Apple Silicon in my laptop.

That said, Graviton is at least 50% of all AWS deployments now. So it's winning vs x86.

Shouldn't they be the same if we are speaking about same precision? For example, [0] shows M4 Max 17 TFLOPS FP32 vs MAX+ 395 29.7 TPLOFS FP32 - not sure what exact operation was measured but at least it should be the same operation. Hard to make definitive statements without access to both machines.

TFLOPS can't be measured the same between generations. For example, Nvidia often quotes sparsity TFLOPS which doubles the dense TFLOPS previously reported. I think AMD probably does the same for consumer GPUs.
Another example is Radeon RX Vega 64 which had 12.7 TFLOPS FP32. Yet, Radeon RX 5700 XT with just 9.8 TFLOPS FP32 absolutely destroyed it in gaming.
Fascism.
> How do we "get back to normal"?
History has some answers to that, but I think those of us here wouldn't mind if an easier answer than that would indicate presents itself.
That said, it wouldn't surprise me if he tried to start a world war in order to try to stay as president. It seems like he'll literally do anything to stay in power. Last time he tried to get a mob to kill the vice president and congress. What's he going to do in 3 years?
