Clint gonna get knifed in his sleep by a clearly haunted computer.

I'm just imagining it on a table, slowly moving its arms and legs, unable to actually move around because of its computer torso. Despite being completely sessile, it's trying to be creepy and menacing with a knife. Clint sighs and gently takes the knife away, then pats it on the head. He heads to the window and tosses the knife out into his backyard. Right next to a pile of freshly raked leaves there is a similarly sized pile of thousands and thousands of knives in various states of mouldering in the weather.

GN news update with a fun story about Intel trying to strongarm their merch supplier to try and get information to clone the GN modmats and toolkits.

Spite/anger from some c-level after being mocked for instance. Which could theoretically lead to review supply issues in the future.

I really doubt that Intel stuff has any actual relation to GN's video. It's probably just a wholly separate division of Intel doing research to produce their own mats and other crap. They're doing it in a scummy way, but taking an existing product and copying it isn't unheard off.

Yeah but why focus so hard on getting the person who ships the GN stuff specifically to work with you? Feels like if you got told sorry but no by a supplier as a massive company you’d just go find someone else and not keep going after this one guy for months.

Because they're GN's supplier and someone at Intel's swag department looked at GN's modmat, liked it, and gave the order to produce copies with Intel's branding. And whatever idiot tried to comply with that order went about doing so in a dumb way, or maybe they interpreted that "no" from GN's supplier as "offer me more money". :shrug:

I understand why it would feel personal for Steve. But this sort of poo poo happens all the time. The company I work at makes heating elements and we've had instances of someone pretending to be a little coffee maker startup and ordering some samples, only for the shipping address to be that of the R&D department of a competitor. And we've had a customer contact our subsidiary factory of china and try to get that factory to start producing for said customer, instead of us.

Never seen this guy before but it popped up somewhere. He has pretty detailed analysis of power use and efficiency of various phone SoCs, e.g.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0ukXDnWlTY

It's interesting because I've been looking for something similar on the PC side for CPU+GPUs but hardly anyone seems to do more than run Cinebench and dozen game benchmarks. The only place I've seen come close is chips and cheese like here: https://chipsandcheese.com/2022/01/28/alder-lakes-power-efficiency-a-complicated-picture/

Someone asked about that in the HUB Q&A video and their answer was if you’re buying a high end GPU you don’t care about efficiency. Which doesn’t explain why no-one does efficiency tests for lower end parts where people presumably would care about that more.

I dunno if that's entirely true considering it has direct impact on power requirement and noise & heat but I can see how it's not the biggest concern for 4090 buyers.

Still you'd think there would be a niche for this in lower-end or mobile parts vs competing with dozens of others to rush out tests of the same games. Like everyone's been jerking off to the M1 efficiency but hardly anyone actually measured stuff to see what makes up the differences. (that channel has a video though it's not quite as detailed as the phone one). It's not technically necessary if you just want to know how many hours you'll get watching cat videos but there's surely also demand for less useful nerdy content like that.

It's probably not even entirely useless since you could actually use that information to significantly increase battery life on your pc laptop. When I got my Minibook with the N5100, I pretty quickly saw it was idling at 1.4W package power at idle for no reason and unsurprisingly the max boost clock (2.8) wasn't the most power efficient either. This took a lot of CPU time but was trivial to test in Cinebench or JS. Cap the boost clock at 2-2.2Ghz and you'll save like 30% of power under load. Granted the Celeron is slow enough that you'll notice this, but on an i7 I'd bet it'd be fine.

What are the chances that 40,000 people would be without water for multiple days when he's trying to fill a fish tank PC? That was amazing timing. I love the Duke fish tank decoration.
