Cadbury isn't even Cadbury anymore, it was owned by Kraft and then Mondelez since 2010
And Mondelez shunted production from Canada, the US, Ireland and NZ to China, India, Brazil and Mexico

Alright so this makes the 5060ti 8gb even more of a waste, in my opinion at least. If you wanted to save some cash by getting that card, you might as well save even more get the 5060 because compared to the 4060, its gonna have quite the uplift. 25% more cores on top of the additional performance brought with blackwell
https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-to-launch-299-geforce-rtx-5060-on-may-19
I think that 8 gig sku will be even more dead than the 5060
pallid spruce
both SKUs are a joke, but ti 8GB is worse
it's baffling that these cards even exist, the cost to double the memory is like $20 plus $5 or whatever for the added cost of clamshelling it
chilly moat

G7 gives a lot of bandwidth without them having to expand the bus
pallid spruce

more to do with laptop compatibility, but yah
pallid spruce
G7 gives a lot of bandwidth without them having to expand the bus
true in theory, but blackwell seems to just not benefit from it. 5080 as an example has like 40% more bandwidth than 4080/super off the top of my head with slightly more shaders and it's a whopping... 10% faster. with extra power draw to boot
blackwell is just a bad architecture made worse with poor design decisions (12v highfailurerate connector included)
chilly moat
I think its because it wasnt limited by it in the first place, so for that card it was basically like higher clocked ram and a few hundred more cuda cores

chilly moat

So like a 4080 super oc I guess
But you can oc it even further and gain more
4080 super plus ultra bin
pallid spruce

possibly. it seems 5060 ti isn't a huge uplift over 4060 ti though, despite being almost the same die size with again tons more bandwidth
pallid spruce
Yeah they doubled down on it and I g uess its staying
the stupidest thing is you can very very very easily prevent the melting issue, and in fact Nvidia had this solution in place on the 3090 ti before the official PCI SIG spec was finished. but the spec (which afaik Nvidia helped work on) requires that ALL 12v pins run into a single 12v input plane. all you need to do is split the 12v pins into individual planes, throw a current sense circuit on there, and you can very easily detect off balance load between pins
pallid spruce

70% more bandwidth, 12.5% higher TDP, and admittedly a 4% smaller die area. and you only get 10% better performance? bruh moment imo
lisa su loves me though, i adore my 9070. i'm hard modding it this sunday for moar gainz
chilly moat
Although it has a couple hundred more cores like the 80 skus, its more relative to the original core count. 4350 vs 4600. Which is still pitiful, but relative to the 4060ti core count its a larger increase It seems that the cards werent affected by bandwidth too much in the first place, which may be why the bandwidth isnt helping that much. To me its basically some more cores, some small architectural changes and higher clocked memory
But maybe the additional bandwidth might help in a few years from now
I do remember something about the 3060ti not being too far behind the 4060ti in some scenarios, so maybe the gap between these two instead might grow over time
pallid spruce
Although it has a couple hundred more cores like the 80 skus, its more relative ...
the 4060 ti was severely hampered by bandwidth, in fact so much so that in original reviews it relatively frequently lost to the 3060 ti which only outmatched it in mem bandwidth. in raw compute the 4060 ti was ahead. yet increasing bandwidth by 70% with 5060 ti does not really rectify this...
chilly moat
Right
My memory is spotty with that card
Clearly
Ig my brain literally faded this thing
pallid spruce
To me its basically some more cores, some small architectural changes and higher clocked memory
if it were this then you'd expect 5060 ti to notably overperform where it's actually at. overclocking the vram to not even close to what GDDR7 hits on the 4060 ti will basically close the gap between 40 and 5060 ti
i sincerely believe that a 4060 ti (which uses the SAME NODE) packed with faster GDDR6 memory would outperform a 5060 ti 9 times out of 10
provided you normalize for power draw especially
chilly moat
the stupidest thing is you can very very very easily prevent the melting issue, ...
But you know
They deliberately made it worse over the years
Which is nutty

The 3090ti had 3 rails to split the current, 40 had 2, 50 has 1

i didn't realize the 4090 split the inputs tbh. it's impressive that they still manage to melt like that lol
chilly moat
Yeah I guess 3 was the limit
But since 50 series has one, sense pins are pointless
Novideo trippin rn
pallid spruce
Asus's astral cards literally split every single pin individually before combining into a big unified power plane, but they're not allowed to do anything with their improved telemetry bc PCI SIG spec, so they have to use their app to let you know if your cable is badly seated lol

You seen the video from jay and derbauer where they cut the wires and the card still runs at full load?

pallid spruce
yeah exactly. but if the spec wasn't scuffed, or if Nvidia let them ignore it, they could do a hw solution and have the card just shut off instead of requiring an app that you start with windows to give you an alert lol

it's a huge reason i went RDNA 4 actually. originally i was going to spring a little extra for 5070 ti because ngl i'm a sucker for DLSS 4 (upscaling). it looks so unbelievably good on my 4060 ti. but i'm really into modding and OC and stuff, and pushing 500+w on a 12vhpwr cable is not something i want to do on a card that i'm terminating warranty support for haha

Surprisingly the connector did not melt. Also when jay tried to get the 4090 to melt too, it also wouldnt do it. Even when he did the 5090

that's like 4x what a PCIE 6/8 12v pin can safely handle, and 8x what they're rated for, AND the 12vhpwr pins are smaller and thus not able to effectively carry as much current as the PCIE 6/8 pins 😭

9070 xt is the fastest out of all of those in gaming so this is kinda baseless

Or average out to be roughly the same

You see how the 9070 xt is worse than the 7900 xt, yet it can beat the xtx in some games?
I think it will be a slightly better 7700 xt
This comparison isn’t doing it well. This is just a point of reference, and the 9060 xt is about 2/3 of the 9070 xt
This is just an estimate from tpu but they estimate the card being 6800 xt perf
9070 xt is estimated to be 157% faster. 100/157 is ~64% so this checks out

kinda baity headline but at least they cover this later
On the surface, the specifications and benchmark results suggest that the G100 is a severely underpowered GPU – at least a decade behind modern offerings from Nvidia and AMD. However, it seems unlikely that a 6nm card would actually ship with such outdated hardware in 2025.
What likely happened here is that the test was conducted during the sampling stage, where unoptimized firmware and drivers resulted in the low reported VRAM and clock speeds. As for the FP32 performance, it can't be accurately determined without knowing the GPU's execution unit subsystem configuration.

N3C is coming out 2026
So that picture is real
N2X will come out in 2027
I knew zen 6 was in a tricky spot because of the timing of these nodes
I was debating whether it would be x or p, thinking p to keep up with their release schedule
Zen 6 laptops will use p but they are wanting desktop to use x
So it’s really not a delay, we just interpret it as such
Tsmc was vague with their release date for n2x
They say “in 2026 or later” in a 2023 roadmap
So kind of a delay but not really but also kind of a delay
“It could come out in 2026 but this node is too far away right now so don’t hold your breath” let’s say. Doesn’t really count as a true delay because they never had an official release for it

The only consumers who will benefit from two CCDs with V-CACHE will be those running Servers, LLMs, and other applications that benefit from the cache and don't suffer from latency penalties caused by the cross-ccd communication.
Gamers will have 0% benefit from a dual v-cache CCD design, unless the CCDs happen to have a higher boost clock then the v-cache ccd on the 9950x3D in which case you are just paying for a highly binned 9800x3D as you will need to limit games to only use one ccd.

chilly moat
Yeah eventually this stuff will die down and models will become more tailored towards specific tasks
There will be a car designing model that makes an organic chassis design (already real) or a protein folding model, or a model for something else
Purpose built models for something specific rather than supergrok
I use grok for searching really specific things, like why is my vram changing power states while recording something in a game, and if this is something related to how the mesa driver is managing power or overclocking
At first the power state throttling was happening because I pushed my vram too far, but it was still happening with recording, even at stock, and grok searched a shit load of pages to find out that there is some kind of power management priority thing going on where it does not deem the vcn to be important enough and yet it constantly consumes more of the power budget, so it will throttle the memory for stability
And that tracks because at a lower load, the stutter from the memory changing power states is not as noticeable
So when I am playing solo in deep rock and my gpu is at like 60% utilization, the throttling is not as severe

This configuration will have its place
You can play some warframe or some other lighter game on here no problem
Especially on a tv where it will be harder to tell the issues fsr has
I wonder if this is why that linux engineer from valve basically one man army'd his way into getting fsr 4 working on rdna 3....
This was a good bit before radeon did that intentional oopsie github release
It was earlier this year
I remember reading basically a dev blog thing about it. It showed the menu of spiderman. Initially it had some artifacting and nutty stuff going on, but at that time the fact that it even worked at all was crazy
After some more work it was properly working and it developed further
Now ge-proton automatically turns this on in games that support this
So there are a bunch of smaller things like this that make the gabecube seem a little better than the paper shows

So a 6600 xt isnt terrible
still, if the rumors are true its nearing 800$ it wont be worth it
chilly moat
Not trying to cope or anything but you are also paying for the form factor
This thing is 4 liters in volume, with an internal power supply
warm cloud
that is cope...

but that also means its gonna be HOT

It is in between a mini pc and a really tiny and expensive sff pc
I am thinking like 700 but really nobody knows
All numbers going around are speculation
chilly moat
To be fair I think that handhelds are expensive and look how popular they are
chilly moat
but that also means its gonna be HOT
They have a fat fan in the back that can move a lot of air
The rear of it is basically completely unimpeded

They have a fat fan in the back that can move a lot of air
still a 4L pc with what, almost 200w of power?
thats gonna be hot
chilly moat
It'll be like 150
Not so bad, but what I don't like is how they are using paste on the gpu die
If you are gonna use pcm then use it on both dies, not just one
And there are gonna be people that make front panels with more ventilation too
Also there is a little ridge in between the rear feet that stops more warm air from being recirculated
And the heat generated is not coming from one spot, so it shoulf be fine. Over time though...
