Thanks, babe!

I like the new video format, very current for those who don't stop still

@cobito said in Summary of the week of September 20, 2021:

Chip manufacturers want cars to be updated
The industry in general tends to be quite conservative when it comes to technology and the automotive industry is no exception. Intel and Qualcomm want car manufacturers to stop being dependent on outdated technology.

I can imagine a car brick due to a bad update

At 120 on the highway and you get a blue screen... It can be curious.

I know that it will depend on our day to day, but we have to try to upload some photo or some proof to the "retro gadget" forum. I took a break because I was a bit tired but when I have time and desire I will put something, not at your level @cobito though jajaja.

Anyway, thanks for your effort

The news about IBM's caches is very interesting. Surely the rest of the manufacturers will be eager to get their hands on one of the equipment to analyze the result, if it works well, we will surely see it in a few years in AMD and Intel processors for servers.

Regarding the prices of the components, taking into account that the machines necessary for advanced manufacturing processes are becoming more and more expensive, it is normal that they tend to rise, and we will stretch the devices more. I remember when at the university, in 98, the professor of the subject that explained the physics of semiconductors warned us that mosfets had only a few years left, and that miniaturization was going to be more and more complicated.

More exotic materials, more complex transistor designs and with more stages of manufacturing... all of that is going to make it complicated for us to return to the times of high-end graphics cards at 500€ and mid-range at 150-200€. I am very pessimistic about what is coming in the medium term in our hobby.
