Flash drive-based vendor Pure Storage has a different point of view, as you might expect. It takes a system-level view rather than per-drive. Pure suggests that, for a 1 exabyte deployment over ten years with a five-year life cycle for the HDDs and a ten-year life cycle for DirectFlash Modules, it finds that the HDD system emits 107,984 metric tons of carbon whereas a Pure-based system emits 14,779 tons.
Their "findings" are almost diametrically opposed to the "research" from Seagate.

Apologies, I wasn't very clear.
Yes, as it stands today it's not even close to a viable solution. From what I've read a year or two ago, the price is astronomical.
I meant what I said in a more hypothetical way.
We are thrilled to report that running the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti with PCI-Express 4.0 x8 has an insignificant impact on performance. Averaged across all game tests, we see a 2% drop in FPS at 1080p, and an even smaller 1% drop at 1440p. While not exactly relevant to this GPU, even 4K Ultra HD posts only a 1% drop in performance with PCIe Gen 4 x8.
There is basically no difference with using PCIe 4.0. 1-2% is likely unnoticeable in real life. That's what I've been hearing/reading in the last few years; the PCIe isn't really a bottleneck for dGPUs for consumers.
Even with PCIe 3.0, techpowerup are seeing a mere ~4% decrease in performance.
It's smart on the part of TSMC to raise prices specifically for their US-based plants, might as well capitalize on the current situation.
This is actually one "techno fix" that I think would truly helpful. Massive reduction in ecological damage (de-forestation for grazing areas) as well as a lot less pain and brutality.
Do you not understand the difference between a press release and an article? Are you being serious? The authors literally have apple email accounts.
How is what I said a strawman? What exactly am I "strawmanning"; could you please be clear and specific on this?
There is no bias. This is common sense. Corporate messaging around sustainability (and there are different brands of this) by definition cannot be trusted.
Can you show me how they define “gross emissions - Manufacturing (purchased goods and services)”, surely if they added it in their emissions table and it's really the only piece that's important (because it ties back to the "60% of 2015 claim", everything else in the press release is fluff), you should be able to find the definition as per Apple?
This is not an article, this is a press release. It is written by Apple employees.
I didn't say they were lying. If anything the much more likely scenario is that it is framed in a duplicitous manner but without explicitly lying (in the strict pedantic sense).
Here is a simple question one for you. Find me where Apple provides a clear explanation of their definition of "gross emissions - Manufacturing (purchased goods and services)"; this is the line item that's key to their press release, everything else is fluff and holds no value when it comes to the bigger picture.
Keep in mind, there is a very large probability that much of the content in the press release is misleading and de facto untrue.
Why would you ever take a corporate press release at face value?
While it's good to hear positive rumours about Intel 18A (for the sake of competition and better prices), I find it difficult to buy into the hype until I see independent real world benchmarks.

The RoboBee in question:
Are AMD going to be required to send their (heavily discounted) inventory of enterprise GPUs to some local oligarch who is well connected with the current US admin?
MCIO connectors — a fairly new standard designed for high-density PCIe connectivity — position these adapters for future-proofed deployment in data centers and high-performance desktop environments.
First time I've heard of MCIO, seems to be an enterprise only standard.

I see. Cheers!

I was really hoping that OneUI 7 wouldn't be too distracting. I use a custom launcher so that limits the damage, but change for the sake of change is always annoying.
URLs to videos (YT or peertube) are allowed. I think some front-ends even embed videos in posts.
The strength of Lemmy is you can use a frontend (or change the settings of your current one) to make it work for you.
Just like their original benchmarks were showing 3000+ in Geekbench ST and then not even a single device came close to this result.
Is FFV1 even used for anything? First time I am hearing about this codec and I have some experience in this area.
I am sure SMIC will improve, but based on the article in your OP, 910C was fabbed (exclusively) by TSMC via some sort of scheme to work around sanctions?
