The warranty issue was a big fail on their part.

They would be leaving money on the table by not addressing it.

I did not know ASUS “ProArt” series include CPU coolers.

The design has a rather pleasing miniamlist style (especially compared to most “gamer” components with RGB and an overbearing aesthetic). Nothing wrong with that, but it’s good to have choice.

Sounds like they feel they have enough leverage over US companies where they can keep the leading edge node “exclusive” to in-country manufacturing.

And they do have very strong leverage.

It’s solid by iGPU standards, but you’re not going to be able to run modern AAA games at native resolution and above minimal graphics settings.

I can’t comment on the political dimensions, but I can say that corporations want to continue selling into China (huge market) and oppose tariffs or restrictions on sales of bleeding edge tech.

I believe many of major the drivers issues were sorted out after releases. Although I doubt support is anywhere close to being as good as AMD, let alone Nvidia.

1 month is nothing and the data from Statcounter is likely to be more directional (since from my understanding it’s not based on shipments or POS transaction aggregation). If they saw multiple quarters of significant gains in market share, that would be a different story.

The script for Part 3 is still a work in progress. There might be significant revision to the initial draft (could make for a more exciting part 3).

I was really hoping to see more competition in the dGPU space. But considering Intel’s overall troubles and the challenges with gaming dGPUs (even AMD can’t come anywhere close to Nvidia in the gaming dGPU space) this is to be expected.

Samsung was one of the few Android OEMs that didn’t adopt A/B updates (well, until now).

It’s more of a concept than an era.

I think they will apply learnings from Apple, they’ve been in the VR game for a lot longer after all.

yyyy.mm.dd does honestly makes by far the most sense. That being said, north america switching to day first would already be a massive achievement.

Yeah, I don’t understand why Americans (and notebookcheck) still use MM-DD-YYYY.

With less “out of the box” software support.

That being said the original Tinker Board was a decent upgrade over the then current Pi 3B which had atrocious ethernet performance (~20 MB/s max IIRC).

GSMArena states that the Huawei MatePad 12 X was released on September 19th 2024.

Agreed, I initially did get confused when reading the article.

What Chinese 5nm/7nm production volume are you referring to?

3,925 ST in Geekbench is some series single thread performance, and in a laptop no less.

Worth reading if the semiconductor industry is one of your interests.

Paints a pretty bad picture of Gelsinger. I wonder how systematic these issues are. However the examples cited are too serious to be ignored IMO.
