Quoting: CatKillerIntel won't fail completely: if they can't sort out their own yields they can get TSMC to make their chips.

That won't happen in a million years.
Also TSMC as a foundry doesn't have the capacity to satisfy the market's needs for mobile+server+desktop for Apple+AMD+Nvidia+Intel combined anyway.

And Intel sits on a mountain of cash so high they won't have any problem anytime soon. They may have some problems on the DIY desktop market, but it's not really a priority for them. Mobile, OEM desktop and server are fine for now and demand is high.

In other news Nvidia is considering buying ARM. That would be... interesting.

first attempt at a VR headset with an estimated eye-watering $5K price tag

I would say Index's €1K price tag is still eye-watering. I check regularly on their site but they won't budge an inch, it's always €1K, take it or leave it :sad:

Quoting: stankalovichThere have a been a few Linus Tech Tips videos that were very pro Linux. The impact of a channel with 11.2M subscribers (as of now) can't be ignored.

LTT is a gaming channel and Steam numbers went down, not up.

Quoting: helloCLDIs it possible that the apparent increase in Linux share is due to Windows users dropping their desktops/laptops entirely and going purely mobile? Meaning that Linux users aren't increasing, it's just the number of people using a web browser on a desktop or laptop is decreasing across the board?

This is probably it.
COVID lockdowns started in march and lots of people stayed at home. So fewer Windows PCs online and more mobile devices. Many don't have a PC at home. If so, I expect the numbers to go down in the upcoming months, back to the 1.5% territory.

That, or they changed the sampling methodology.

Eye of the Beholder I & II are timeless classics.
I remember playing the first one on a 286 @ 10MHz with 1MB of RAM back in the day.
I like that the GOG page suggests a 1.8GHz CPU with 1GB RAM to play it today...:tongue:

Quoting: NagezahnI haven't played in a while, but I absolutely love this game! I'd like to give the new version a try, but I know it definitely wouldn't become just a try.

I'd like too, but it's too risky. I've already fallen to Julius (Caesar 3 remake) recently, recovery was hard, I can't afford to lose my sleep again.

Quoting: GrimfistWhat are they thinking? 1080p is from 5 years ago, why infest in old stuff?

Is wccftech comment section leaking?

Well, with my 5Mbps LTE data-capped connection I don't think I'll spend my time on this service any time soon... nor with the most recent AAA multi GB titles for that matter.

140MB of cache is bonkers. I built a Pentium 3 with 128MB of RAM 20-something years ago...
I bet this is the ultimate compiling machine.
