Top Story

Tokenmaxxing is dead. Long live tokenmaxxing. (12 Grams of Carbon)

Tech News

Why Wall Street thinks Micron is the next Nvidia. (Tech Crunch)

Wow, they really hate Nvidia over there.
Chinese CPU maker Loongson has announced its upcoming 3C3000 CPU, with 16 cores and the performance of a... Don't know. (Tom's Hardware)

The company positions its higher-end 3C6000 against the low-end Intel Xeon 4314, or about half the speed of an AMD 16 core laptop CPU. Presumably it will be faster than last year's 3A6000, which was dogshit.

The second-best time is in 2028 when the M7 Ultra CPU is expected to make an appearance. There may yet be an M5 Ultra, but that will drop into an otherwise unchanged MacStudio.
