Q1 2021. More details coming at CES 2021 in mid January.

Take it with a pinch of salt and wait for third party cards. The VEGA cards respond extremely well to undervolting and overclocking. I have no idea why AMD shipped them overvolted and with a weak cooler.

Bang/buck matters more than anything to everyone except the most price insensitive consumers. If they can deliver something with 90% of the performance at 85% of the price then it's a no brainer for many people. I'll be buying Ryzen once Vega comes out assuming it's up to snuff.

As long as it's competitive (Within ~10%) in terms of IPC and clock they can compete on price. For the enterprise market (where the fat margins are) they need to be much more aware of total processing throughput and wattage. Personally I have no questions whether or not they will be competitive...

From the end of the video: Seems like the NCU has gone the way Nvidia have with half, single and double precision flexibility. That's a good thing.

It's good for keeping your plums comfortable especially when you wear as much PVC and leather as I do.

Storage Spaces are ridiculously fast under the right conditions. All of the issues we have around them are the janky ways it's administered and monitored. The process for swapping disks is gross compared to modern arrays. I don't know if this is even fixed in 2016...

No SAN / NAS on the market provides a decent SMB3.0 solution. Tegile and Tintri say they do but both their implementations are incomplete compared to what Windows does. If you're serious about doing SMB3 then either DAS Storage Spaces or iSCSI presentation to Windows header boxes are your only...

Looking at the numbers it seems like DX12 / Vulkan lets the AMD cards get much closer to their peak theoretical performance. That's a really good thing for the Red team. Nvidia's drivers are already pretty damn good on the whole. That guy has definitely picked up on something with the 1070...

The RX480 is trading with the 970 GTX and the GFLOP figures indicated it would trade with the 980 GTX. Reality has fallen short of that for stock cards. I've not seen any third party stuff so I can't comment on that. The 2.8x figure quoted is from the RX470. They got a mainstream card which...

For most people bang for buck matters and the RX480 is punching above it's weight in that regard: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/RX_480_CrossFire/20.html Looks like it's a strong card for the market it's in - keeping in mind it's a midrange card trading blows with a previously high end...

Cameron has torpedoed Boris into looking like a massive hypocrite by not going forward with leave or going forward with leave and all the issues that holds. You've got to laugh.

I would like to say it won't effect me but I have a feeling it will. C'est la vie.

I'm very much a lefty but I also run a business. The free movement of people is something I fundamentally agree with - based on the principle that the people coming here are compatible with our way of life and 'do what the Romans do'. The EU is mostly made up of those type of people and that's...

JP Morgan have already committed to moving large numbers of staff starting next week. A few of our clients do work for them. Large companies hate uncertainty just as much as the rest of us and they have the capacity to actually do something about it pretty quickly.

I've had a fair few emails from customers over the weekend. 1) What the hell is going to happen with data protection laws in the intervening period between leaving and getting a treaty established? I have pan-European customers who use our services here who don't know if they can continue...

Most (all?) states don't have sales tax on internet purchases. Back when the exchange rate was 1.6USD/£1 I would just stick 20% on the price and that would be roughly correct. Now the dollar has strengthened you may need to put 25 - 30% on top.

I would suggest Aruba's new cloud configuration offerings (HP Procurve 2530s etc) but the last time I tried to sell some HP didn't even have list pricing for it. That was ~3 months ago so maybe they've pulled their finger out.

That's some proper future tech. Controller, cache, NVMe SSD all in a single chip less than 2cm².

It depends what the cause is. Everyone is getting hyped up on excessive lending so there's no realistic chance of the BoE putting rates up. Even going back to 3% interest rates is almost unimaginable, let alone 5% or even double digits like we had in the late 80s. Japan is playing with negative...
