Processador Curiosidades de hardware

Tenho ideia que os V2000 saíram à pouco tempo. Isto são produtos que têm um tempo de vida maior que o comum. A AMD ainda vende "Jaguars" e "Bulldozers" neste mercado. Acho que é uma escolha normal. :)
 
Tendo em conta que o "Last Buy" desses modelos (embedded) é 2028, o que não falta é suporte, como bónus ainda são feitos a 14nm na GF :berlusca:

EDIT: falando de coisas estranhas

Hystou F9 Mini PC has the guts of an Intel Hades Canyon Gaming PC for $480 and up​

But what really makes the Hystou F9 unusual are its processor options:
  • Intel Core i5-8305G – 65 watt, 2.8 GHz to 3.8 GHz quad-core chip with Radeon Vega M GL graphics
  • Intel Core i7-8705G – 65 watt, 3.1 GHz to 4.1 GHz quad-core chip with Radeon Vega M GL graphics
  • Intel Core i7-8709G – 100 watt, 3.1 GHz to 4.1 GHz quad-core chip with Radeon Vega M GH graphics
  • Intel Core i7-8809G – 100 watt, 3.1 GHz to 4.2 GHz quad-core chip with Radeon Vega M GH graphics

Agora sim um uso hardcore dos 7 slots :D

Mas na pratica, qual o user scenario? Isso foi basicamente meter 7 "placas de rede" na maquina :D

A questão principal é que não são "placas de rede". Aquilo são computadores completos, numa placa Pci-Ex, com CPU, RAM, Storage e "por acaso" também têm uma placa de rede. :)

Na prática, um cenário que me lembro +/- semelhante é o que a Netflix tem nos servidores que fazem streaming, onde conseguem quase 400 Gbits streaming.
Têm 1 Epyc (ou outro CPU), com 4 Lans e uma carrada de SSDs. Cada Lan e parte da Storage ficam associados a um domínio NUMA do CPU e os calculos TLS são feitos pelas placas de rede. Por acaso eles estão a usar Lans da Mellanox, que a nVidia comprou e que usa a tecnologia naquelas Bluefield do post do @Dark Kaeser .

Ali vai-se mais além. Nas placas não tens um "acelerador". Tens um computador inteiro. Estão ali 8 computadores, contando com o host, que podem fazer todo o tipo de computação genérica. Além disso, podem estar a funcionar de forma independente ou agrupados num cluster.

Não vi o vídeo, mas parece ser um projecto super interessante. Só naquelas placas estão 56 Cores, 448 GB de Storage, 112 GB de RAM e 1.4 Tbits de Bandwidth de rede. :)


Já agora, aquele artigo linka para outro onde tem uma das caixas mais bonitas que já existiu no mercado PC x86, a meu ver. :)

XMG announces Neo 15 laptop with OASIS external liquid cooling solution​

Along with the laptop, XMG offers an optional external liquid cooling system that significantly expands the cooling resources and promises quieter and ultimately faster operation at lower temperatures – throwing aside the physical limitations of conventional laptop cooling systems.

Before setting up, the external AIO cooling must first be filled with cooling liquid (part of the supplied accessories) via a funnel. This also allows refilling at a later time. A self-locking quick-release connector with hoses for the inlet and outlet quickly connects the liquid cooling system to the laptop – and disconnects just as easily if the NEO 15 is to be taken along on its own.

For an XMG NEO 15 (E22) with Intel’s Core i7-12700H, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, 16 GB DDR5-4800, a 500 GB NVMe SSD and a WQHD IPS display with 240 Hz, XMG targets a retail price of around € 2,500 (including 19% VAT). The price for the XMG OASIS as an optional accessory will not exceed € 200.

Estou a ver que voltaram os tempos do hardware bizarro, nesta CES.

A ADATA lançou um Rato Gaming............com um SSD embutido. Porquê? Porque sim. :D
U9icJqe.jpg

the company announced it will be making an appearance at CES 2022 and teased a number of new products, including a new gaming mouse concept known as the XPG Vault. The XPG Vault is a gaming mouse equipped with 1TB of solid-state storage for your games library.

The 1TB SSD built into the mouse is no slouch, with up to 985MB/s of bandwidth, it's significantly faster than your traditional SATA 3 SSDs which peak at around 550MB/s of bandwidth. It may not be as fast as an NVMe drive, but that is the trade off for convenience. The XPG Vault comes with a single USB Type C connector which pulls double duty for mouse and the 1TB SSD.

O SoC desenvolvido pela Tesla não era suposto ser 7nm TSMC?

É que há umas horas que foi publicado um patch para adicionar o (novo?) FSD SoC da Tesla ao kernel linux, que estranhamente está a usar o device tree dos Exynos


* [PATCH 00/23] Add support for Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) SoC

This patch set adds basic support for the Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD)
SoC. This SoC contains three clusters of four Cortex-A72 CPUs,
as well as several IPs.

Patches 1 to 8 provide support for the clock controller
(which is designed similarly to Exynos SoCs).

The remaining changes provide pinmux support, initial device tree support,
and SPI, ADC, and MCT IP functionality.

Isto não tem nada a haver com os Exynos, mas levanta a possibilidade de o fabrico estar a cargo da Samsung.
 

Working Prototype of Intel’s Failed Larrabee GPU Sells for $5,000 on eBay​


Collectors of rare PC hardware have just missed out on the chance to own a little piece of history: a prototype Intel GPU claiming to be the only working Larabee board in the world. It sold on eBay France for a mere €4,650 ($5,234) and even came in a snazzy case.

Larrabee was Intel's 2008-vintage attempt to make a GPU, or rather a GPGPU, separately from the project that led to Iris Pro. Rather than following in the footsteps of Nvidia and ATi, Larrabee used the X86 instruction set with special extensions, and the GPU functioned more like a hybrid of a CPU and GPU. In addition, it did a lot of its work in software rather than using specialized graphics hardware, using a tile-based rendering approach. The idea was to make a board that could accelerate more diverse workloads than 'just' games and achieve graphics effects that GPUs at the time couldn't manage, such as real-time ray-tracing and irregular shadow mapping.
