  • Nvidia has delayed the launch of its RTX 5070 card - a $549 high-end model - until after AMD's announcement on the 28th.  (Ars Technica)

    The article points out something I hadn't noticed before: The 5070 is likely to be markedly slower than the 4070 Super, since it cuts the number of shaders from 7168 to 6144.  The 5070 Ti is pretty much a wash; it increases the core count slightly but decreases clock speeds a little.

    The 5090 and 5080 meanwhile are overpriced, irrelevant, and not available for purchase anywhere.  The $750 5070 Ti will launch next week, and is expected to be more of the same.

    The mainstream market is now AMD's race to lose, and they probably will.

Incompetents I can deal with.  I'm concerned about the malevolent ones.

2 Soap boxes(the old fashioned wooden ones which could support the weight of a human being) were pre-historic platforms which allowed proto-Influencers to harangue total strangers about anything and everything; does this qualify as 'Progress'?

Apple pies are delicious. But never mind apple pies. What colour is a green orange?
