I never really played the older games and wasn't until watching the truly incredible Castlevania Anime on Netflix that I felt pulled into the world.

Yesss, that show was fun!

Quoting: slaapliedjeAgreed! I held off too long to watch it, I feel.

A fair warning - it has very interesting writing in first 3 seasons, but season 4 fell off the cliff so badly - I was extremely disappointed. It's as if the writer sabotaged most interesting story arcs and characters on purpose.

And I haven't played the games either, looking at it simply from standpoint of writing quality and characters I cared about.

It's really something bizarre I almost never experienced before, to have such good potential and start that ends so extremely badly in the finale.

Quoting: TermyI thought we were over this bullshit?

It seems not to be as extreme as last shortage during RDNA 2 release, but it's not day one availability by far either. What is causing it? Cryptocurrency rush seems to be over, so miners aren't buying all cards. May be general demand fell and they also reduced production below the demand now?

Quoting: F.UltraThe problem space here is that both cores are high performance, just in different ways. I mean trying to determine if your thread/application would benefit from a higher clock or a larger cache is something that takes endless long benchmarks in numerous runs for application developers today (to determine which cpu to recommend to the enterprise to run the system on).

I wonder if AI can help with scheduler for that. It feels like prediction problem based on some moving sample input.

AMD are now adding AI chips to some of their APUs, so may be this can even be hardware accelerated in the future.

Quoting: F.UltraHow? I cannot think of how a scheduler can know which thread needs larger L3 vs higher clock frequency.

That's my thought too, but I think this so called "big little" issue exists for a while (started with ARM?) and may be there was some work for Linux on that front before in regards to asymmetric cache?

I also wonder what will happen if the scheduler will be unaware of any of that and scheduling will be random. I.e. what will perform better, 7950X or 7950X3D? Some thorough benchmarks comparing them will be for sure needed.

Looking forward to it. I backed it a long time ago on Kickstarter.

HDR in general is not some kind of "stronger saturation" idea, it means wider color range. How games actually use it and how it looks in result is totally up to games.

Here was a good talk about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDnbWaIMJJA [External Link]

That sounds lik

This sounds like it's proper support rather than just a game compositor/overlay.

I am curious about HDR and movie playback as that seems to be getting more and more popular.

Nice, that finally sounds like a concentrated effort. I hope it wouldn't be too Gnome centric and general Wayland compositors needs will be addressed.

From what I gather, so far it's very gamescope specific, so it's not yet the year of HDR for the Linux desktop.

No stats post this month, but it finally happened! AMD usage on GOL got ahead of Nvidia:



Congrats!

🎉 🎉 🎉 🎉
