CommentRe:Watts (Power) is USELESS fort CAPACITY (Score 0)193

My vote is simply amp-hours and amps

other units are just noise - why does it matter to you that its a 6 volt, 12 volt, or 24 volt thingamabob?

the point of throwing around voltage at all, and thus bringing in any desire at all for watts, is for compatibility with external power sources, but there is no need with cellphones since the power plug ensures a high level of safety there

CommentRe:Laptop Cooling Places 5090 Ferrarri Engine in Y (Score 2)30

Pretty sure proper cooling of a high end laptop with a 5090 doesnt exist because at some point it stops being a laptop when you try.

I dont see why this laptop with inadequate cooling shouldnt exist. Do your research. If they arent selling what you want, dont complain if you purchase it anyways, because I got no sympathy.

Some people do want this thing, for sure.

The premise that adequate cooling for such a thing exists is highly dubious on the face of it. At some point its on you.

Yeah nobody wanted to run their stuff on Intels fabs because Intel is a direct competitor in those markets. Intel is vertically integrated and ergo CANNOT be a rent-a-fab regardless of the price.

Stop listening to P.R. fluff.

Intel was ever only 1 node ahead in lithography, however they also had a topology advantage with their novel 3D trigates for awhile. Chasing that same topology at smaller node sizes cost them 3 node shrinks vs the competition, but they were always destined to lose to the rent-a-fabs it was only a matter of time.

They did AMD a favor screwing them anti-trust style and forcing them to spin-off their "overly ambitious" fab division that didnt see the volume it should have.

copyright infringement is weak-sauce vs patent infringement and the big players have both large patent portfolios and lawyers on retainer

even if you are brilliant, and surprise the industry so as to get your own patents, they will surround your patent with theirs - the fight is futile - there is only the acquisition

how about no gimmicks like "performance" and "efficiency" cores

its shit

coprocessors are where that stuff already exists

they are only doing it to try to salvage binned parts because intels fab yields are shit, they still havent gotten their act together

an intel without fabs is a far less valuable company, but it would continue to exist.. an intel reborn as a rent-a-fab would go out of business overnight due to how shit the fabs are in comparison to the competition
