LiFePO4

Most likely. 10KW max output (not sustained?) and assuming you would want at least 40 KWh is going to be very, very expensive.

Should be a solid upgrade, even with the B570.

And you’re unlikely to get a 5060-class Nvidia dGPU for under $300 (global price format, not US-style list prices).

The initial $10M offering is how you know US oligarch groups are completely out of control and disconnected from reality.

Worth pointing out that this is all unit shipments, not revenues.

Considering the astronomical increase in dGPU prices and the improvements in iGPUs, I wouldn’t be surprised to to see iGPU taking a bigger and bigger unit share of the key laptop market.

consumer grade EDSFF

Not happening. No margins in this, way too much hassle dealing with individual consumers and no scale.

Don’t get me wrong, I personally would be interested, just I don’t think this is a realistic ask.

Don’t think TSMC’s customer have much leverage either. It’s not like they can choose another fab if these hypothetical savings are passed down to (or even shared with) them.

Was not aware about the “brown paper bag” idiom, seems to be a US-specific thing.

This is a market access in exchange for local production issue. Commonly used by countries such as China (in some industry segments), India, Brazil.

One would need competitive markets (not only at the fab level) for “billion in savings” to be passed on the consumer.

The 10GB B570 for $219 (I am assuming these are US style prices) sounds like a very solid deal.

I guess we’ll soon find out how good the US’s sanction busting system is.

It will be a long time before Wi-Fi 6 (ax) becomes somewhat close to universal (in the lowest common denominator sense), I could easily see it taking another 5-10 years for Wi-Fi 7/8 to achieve such use.

I also get the impression that Wi-Fi has become good enough at it’s core and we are not really seeing any massive improvements in terms of every day use.

I was away just for a few days.

I come back and this happens. I am not surprised Gelsinger was kicked out.

As strange as it sounds, network effects and popularity are massive factors in the SBC scene. If you have a semi-recent RaspberryPi, chances are any SBC-adjacent project will have 1st class support for your board.

This is what stops me from trying other SBCs. I did try the original ASUS Tinker Board, which seemed to be a nice upgrade relative to the then current RaspberryPi 3B which had awful Ethernet speeds.

shucking it for use as an enclosure

You mean replacing the 7600M with something else?

My frame of reference for shucking is taking a portable HDD device and extracting the actual HDD for price savings.

I don’t get the point of using this with one of those ultra compact mini-PC, but I can see a use cases for occasionally gaming on an ultra-light laptop (maybe for your home desk setup with a monitor).

Thankfully it doesn’t cost nearly as much as a Rolex or even many smartwatches.

While on the surface this seems like a solid offering with many features, the compatibility problems are rather worrying. You don’t want to spend $600 and then play the lottery to see if it works with your laptop.

This is a completely fair requirement for government subsidies.

The US already has multiple world class CPU designers covering x86, ARM and Risc-V. Intel’s foundry is the only leading semiconductor foundry based in the US.

…the new company — named “/dev/agents” — will revisit the leaders’ “Android roots.”

The company is working on a cloud-based “next-gen operating system for AI agents” intended “for trusted agents to work with users across all of their devices,”

These guys had enough “edge” to give Carl Pei and his Nothing venture a run for their money.

It remains to be seen if this anything more than a fishing expedition to cash on some VC/investor money.

That is one truly unique design. Would fit will in a modern-styled living room.

The $4,000 price makes this a true luxury category product. And this is just one 2.1 speaker. I am surprised they don’t have a 5.1 SKU with similar design.
