Liquid Nitrogen testing is the auto rag racing of computers. Not practical for everyday use, but is can be interesting/fun to do/watch.

I suppose that is true. Intel seems to think so as well as their low power n100 is about the performance of a 1500x.

Sure, not much per gen, but if you compare say a 1700x vs the current 9700x, you are roughly looking at a 3x improvement in single and multicore performance increase.

On my system with raid0 dual pcie4.0 nvme drives, most of the time is spent decompressing and processing the data. There is always going to be a bottleneck somewhere, whether it is the drive, cpu, gpu etc.

Is it even legal in the EU for a company to allow sales in one part, but not another? Do they actively clock PS(4/5) devices from being activated in parts of the EU?

I’d think this would be illegal, but I am not from the EU.

Yeah. Only systems that can be interpreted in real time are viable. Not sure how recent we are talking either. On top of that, interpretation will be inherently worse on battery life.

A-shell

Hadn’t heard of a-shell. On my iPad I occasionally use iSH for bittorent, among other uses. I do agree it is on the slower side, but that is in part because of Apple’s rules about JITs and this forces iSH to use an interpreter. I do think an interpreter of ARM ISA would potentially be faster as the ISA is fixed width and x86 is not, but I don’t know if that would be margin of error faster or not.

Thanks for sharing.

Edit: I may have came across that before, but iSH is more flexible, if much slower.

I will just say it uses an ARM A5 which was introduced in 2011. It is 32bit processor which could be problematic as most linux distros are moving or have moved to 64-bit. And most importantly only has USB2.0 ports.

At this point I think they may want to hold off on releases for a while. They could do development, but wait til sometime after the Switch 2 is out to publish the code and executables. Allow things to settle down a bit.

That is the better approach. If Nvidia had done that as the first though, they would be getting a “they are making it look bad on purpose” response. That would be worse than the, it only work on nvidia hardware, response from users. With Microsoft working on a D3D12 upscaling approach, every hardware provider will have a standard interface to make it look best on their hardware.

That said AMD does need to get an AI upscaler. The difference in quality is to great to hand write. At 1080p native it doesn’t matter much as most look pretty, but at higher resolutions, ie 4K, the difference is massive. And it would be best for them to have something ready for futue PS6 and Xbox next.

Really like this game. I am not a completionist, but I believe I have done all the endings including the DLC. Got nearly 300 hours in. Has it been buggy? Yes. But that was mostly resolved to a playable state a couple/few months after release.

Hope to see something in the same universe in the future.

Looking forward to this. Really love CP77.

Also, it surprises me they don’t use other studio names like “CD Projekt Orange” and other colors.

That doesn’t surprise me. I can only think of a couple games I bought at or near full price. One was a game that was priced fairly recently at $30(usd) msrp and I think I got it for $3 off and the other was at $60. Otherwise I generally wait. If developers want to raise msrp prices to $70, most will still wait, but will end up paying $3 to $6 probably on average more. When you consider inflation over the years it is surprising they don’t already have a much higher price.

Have they actually done any banning or such? I have seen Phantom Liberty on sale repeatedly since it launch on GOG, but haven’t seen it once on Steam.

Should be 42x.
