@RustyShack411 @JoshEakle For the customer, the price of lemonade has gone from 80 cents to $1. Ultimately consumers are paying the price. In turn, higher prices mean consumers can afford to buy less. Businesses suffer from lower sales, without making more profit. Not a recipe for economic growth.

@handleym99 The claim I heard was that DEI was somehow related to the recent helicopter/airliner collision. There's nothing to back that up. Short staffing for air traffic controllers? Maybe that's behind some near misses. But that's a separate issue.

@GdGoncalo @Sebasti66855537 Because AMD can't compete in add-on features even when they can match Nvidia's baseline performance. Nvidia is still a bigger company and can afford to invest heavily in tesselation/gsync/RT/DLSS/frame gen/video blocks in a way that AMD likely can't.

@stclairashley The report you linked says the FO passed the second evaluation. It's the same as retaking any test. The FO was never fired/rehired, and there's no sign any DEI program was involved.

@jfit4629 @EndofaGoldenAge @Matthewtravis08 @William38387865 Decline in coal/other fossil fuels use for electricity seems to be due to high fuel cost, not EPA regulation. The recent jump in fuel cost correlates with Russia's invasion of Ukraine (wars tend to mess with supply/demand and drive up prices for everything, fuel included)

@jfit4629 @EndofaGoldenAge @Matthewtravis08 @William38387865 ...I'm not saying go buy an electric car right. We don't have enough charging stations. Battery wear is a problem. And wrt Tesla, there's Elon and his ethics issues. Personally I went with a plug-in Prius. Battery covers commute, gas remains an option.

@TeslAlpha2Beta @rshereme Spinning up a new 105mm ammo production line might be worse than keeping all the production in modern calibers. More calibers complicates logistics. Ukraine already has to deal with both 120mm NATO and 125mm Soviet tank shells

@TeslAlpha2Beta @rshereme Would be nice, but I suspect many of those have 105mm guns, and we probably don't have deep stocks of old 105mm ammo after moving to 120mm. Not very useful if we can't maintain a steady supply of ammo for them.

@curunnil @opinali Also, Intel already had a high perf P-Core line, and an E-Core line that's stepping into the high perf arena. A third high perf core effort would divert engineers from those two lines (time, money) to reinvent a lot of basic things, when the P-Core by itself is quite solid.

Cross-posting from Zen 5's L3 can let you filter performance monitoring counters by core, for up to 16 cores per CCX. That doesn't necessarily mean we'll see 16 core CCX-es, but maybe someone at AMD is thinking about larger CCX-es.
