Yeah, and in a city with no greenery for kids to play in and afraid to let the kids out of their sight for 1 minute.

Given how successful the designs Keller has been on are, this kind of news adds expectations. In 3-5 years time, of course, but even so.

So? Are you saying that you are pot committed 3 cards in? How many cards do you run in each rig?

If half the price can’t convince you, you aren’t ready to switch no matter what.

Has monolithic Vs chiplet been confirmed for 9070? A narrow buswidth on a much smaller (compared to previous I/O-die) technology would mean a whole lot in regards to surface area available for the stream processors.

That’s because you already have top notch gear:) For everyone that’s not already at 7900 level performance 90% of the performance at 80% of the price is great.

For those that are able to spend 80% of the price, that is.

Compute power seems to be the same, disregarding any architecture changes. If they manage to pull off equal performance at a lower price and lower power envelope, it’ll actually be quite something.

ATI, sorry meant AMD, have tried the low price approach. They achieved nothing in terms of market share, the green fans didn’t find lower price and better performance enough to be swayed, and only ended up hurting their bottom line. There is nothing in it for AMD.

What has AMD to gain by dumping prices to sooth the nvidia-first crowd?

Yeah… In fourth grade I was taught that there is nothing like an outer foe to create inner peace. I never imagined it to be the US to accomplish that, but here we are.

With the way things are going in Norway, i bet EV cars will be blamed for that one as well, when the petrol stations start to disappear…

What are you complaining about? Are you unhappy that Norway takes on many of the issues of going non-reliant of oil, developing systems to handle northern, less benign weather? You know, from where I stand, a few hundred miles south would be a so much easier place to be, where the sun is plentiful all year long and the winters short and mild…

Agreed!

No denying that there are positives, but geopolitically we can’t have Berlin on it’s knees just because Kremlin had a Chinese cargo ship drag it’s anchor half way across the Baltic sea. That’s a no go for an independent Europe.

Had it only been Sweden, as before the eu-directive changed the order of things, the grid would have been more sufficient.

There are no lack of issues in the Swedish grid, but they are compounded by the fact that right now it tries to solve the problem of insufficient grid infrastructure in Norway, Finland and lack of power production and electricity areas in Germany. Last year when the oil power plant had to be fired for 3 days, it was because of insufficiencoes in the polish network…

In fact, by the look of it, the Swedish grid is the only grid in the area that actually works as it says on the can.

So you want Sweden to suboptimize it’s energy grid so that Germany doesn’t have to take responsibility for their own electricity needs? It’s not the solution to this problem.

And, as others are saying: there are other projects in the north of Sweden aiming to use that energy.

Aye, I agree. And given the fit-for-55 directive, that push will continue, further reducing the economic viability of nuclear. Nuclear is dead.

However, regardless of the state of nuclear in Europe, the big problem is that Germany does not produce enough energy, which spikes the energy prices in neighbouring countries. Here, electricity suddenly becomes 8 times more costly when Germany imports electricity. That is something Germany needs to address or face constant demands of building nuclear.

Well, to be frank, Sweden is Europes second largest, or largest depending on the state of things in France, electricity exporter in Europe. Sweden do not necessarily need more large scale electricity production. Specially not given the drive towards micro production that is now ongoing.

The only reason to build large scale is to accommodate AI or some other extremely energy dependant technology. They can happily build and run their own electricity network and not include the ordinary consumers, nor the taxpayers.

This time, it seems, they found the golden nugget despite being blind.

Sure, better range is always nice, if that’s the case, but I didn’t drive it enough to be able to come to that conclusion. The power usage from previous owners was as expected, though.

The problem I have with id7 is that it is bigger on the outside, smaller on the inside and not as fun to drive. Having said that, I recently got to drive a new Model3 and the changes the last 5 years has not done it any favours. Quieter, yes, but that’s about it for the positives.

I can’t come in today, I got a bad case of X… I don’t know, seems like a reason to self isolate already.
