Before this LLM age the solution would've been to make the user solve a leetcode problem to access a developer mode.

I actually feel like these integrations are fine, as long as they are opt-in or easily opt-outable of permanently. For now, I don't see the harm in adding another default search engine, it's much less obstrusive than the home page sponsored links. And if it gets them a little more independent from google by siphoning perplexity's seemingly infinite vc investment money, so be it.

I wonder if the rigidity could be improved while staying modular, maybe just use many more screws? I don't mind undoing more than 5 screws for the bottom to come off, make it 20 and it's still totally fine.

IIRC from one of their videos, they mentioned that they deliberately use cast aluminium instead of CNC machined like the macbook. If they sacrifice build quality for sustainability deliberately, I don't see how they could compete with Apple.

What is the implementation difference between using the system WebView (fragmented, especially bad under linux) and using one shared tauri-base runtime that only gets breaking changes updates every 2 years or so so there aren't twenty different ones running at the same time and it ends up like electron?

Would bundling one extended support release of chromium or firefox's backends that are then shared between all tauri apps not suffice?

the GabeCube pun pratically makes itself

They mention FSR specifically in the trailer, but this comes with RDNA3, meaning no FSR4 currently. Does this mean that the int8 path for fsr4 is gonna become official to support this and the ps5 pro?

It's probably because germany decided to sorta give up on it and all of the production and further research moved to china?

Now to do speculation on top of speculation on top of speculation: Valve's next vr headset deckard / steam frame is also rumored to be using an ARM chip, and with them being quite close with AMD since the steam deck custom APU (although that one was apparently just something originally intended for magic leap before that fell apart), this could be in there + be powerful enough to run standalone VR.

Maybe not that low, but given it's using LPDDR5 instead of GDDR7, at least the ram should be a lot cheaper.

Certainly an interesting choice. Dramatically worse performance but dramatically larger only time will tell how it actually goes

With 160GB, surely they can add more channels to compensate?

Is there anything preventing them from using heterogeneous memory chips, like 1/4 GDDR7 and 3/4 LPDDR? It could enable new MEO-like architectures with finer-grained performance tuning for long contexts.

You'd have to burn more die space for the duplicate but different ram controller logic and cache trees, I bet.

If the internal bus architecture is anything similar to QPI, getting the 'different' parts to communicate reliably is probably also a pain.

Rumor has it (according to MLID, so no one knows whether it's accurate) that AMD is also looking to use regular LPDDR memory for some of it's lower end next gen GPUs to not have to contend with nvidia over limited and cartelled GDDR7 supply. Maybe they're going to increase parallel bandwidth to compensate it? Or have wholly different tricks up their sleeve.

probably just a lot more of it, to capture that consumer ai market

It‘s LPDDR5X

LPDDR5x really just means LPDDR5 running at higher than the original speed of 6400MT/s. Absent any information about which faster speed they'll be using, this correction doesn't add anything to the discussion. Nobody would expect even Intel to use 6400MT/s for a product that far in the future. Where they'll land on the spectrum from 8533 MT/s to 10700 MT/s is just a matter for speculation at the moment.

Xe3P as far as I remember is built in their own fabs as opposed to xe3 at TSMC. This could give them a huge advantage by being possibly the only competitor not competing for the same TSMC wafers
