That mobile chip seems better than my ryzen 5600x lol

Probably way better and way more expensive.

0110101001100010 , to technology in AMD unveils its first laptop processor with 3D V-Cache

it’s funny how tech-forward “3D V” sounds and it really just means “we stuck more cache on top.”

dirkgentle ,

I heard you like cache, so I put some cache on your cache.

Extra cache, so much room for more activities!

symcal ,

If that means I can get consistent crazy performance on a 55W laptop chip then I don’t see a problem. Once we hit the limit of Moore’s law I suspect we will see many clever innovations and I personally can’t wait.

Ryzen 9 7945X3D

I don’t know why this name is so funny to me. It just seems so much more ridiculous than an evenly named Ryzen 9 79500X3D. Like what, were getting 45 more units worth of a Ryzen 9 7900X3D, but not quite enough units for a Ryzen 9 7982X3D?

Contramuffin ,

It’s because the 7900 and 7950 are using an “old” naming scheme and the 7945 is using a new naming scheme.

  • 7 = released in 2023
  • 9 = Ryzen 9
  • 4 = Zen 4
  • 5 = mobile/APU

One of the side effects of this is that bigger number no longer necessarily means better, especially if you’re comparing between architectures

Varixable ,

Thanks for the explanation! That makes a lot more sense than what I assumed was an arbitrary number assignment.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Looking at what we get out of mobile CPUs today, when I have a laptop with an i7-7700HQ from 2017 that has… 4 cores/8 threads and is turboing to somewhere in the mid 3GhZ range. With a 45W TDP.

The last 5 years have been such a turbo charging for CPUs

It’s actually so cringe how he looks up to Elon and blatantly copies him as if he’s a role model businessman. Just pathetic.

At this rate, he’ll also copy musk’s advertiser turnaround and changes in company valuation

@gosling@lemmy.world avatar

I wonder how it’ll work on sites like Reddit. Imagine paying for verification only to get downvoted and "silence brand"ed by people

FlippyOne ,

The next step will be preventing downvotes on branded accounts

teft ,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

They made ad accounts unable to be blocked a year or so ago so downvote preventing doesn’t seem too wild. It’s why you couldn’t block that Christian account that always posted “He gets you” stuff.

Polar , to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

Since when do brands want to be known on Reddit? Isn’t the entire point to make a bunch of fake accounts and post positive comments about said brand, to make them look good?

HEY REDDIT, WHAT’S A BRAND YOU’LL BUY FOR LIFE!?

Queue the thousands of totally not brand accounts posting why said product is so perfect and you’ll never buy any other brand again!

Nythos ,

For guerrilla marketing techniques sure

But for official advertisements I imagine they would want to do them on a verified account.

Rentlar ,

Like that disgusting “Samsung AMA” which was just a campaign for their S20-something. They deleted any question that wasn’t basically, “what’s so cool about [this feature] on the S20-something that I’m planning to get?”

vmachiel ,

But now the verified account can be like: ooo wow, we are totally humbled by the love for our product thank you so much you guys!!

XanXic ,

Then that will get screenshotted and posted on r/wholesome r/wholesomememes and r/mademesmile then make the rounds there forever.

They would of course keep their astroturfing accounts unmarked, of course. But they might want a corporate mountpiece account. Like they have on twitter.

LazaroFilm ,
@LazaroFilm@lemmy.world avatar

Have on official account to post announcements then bots to upvote it.

keeb420 ,

ive seen in the nreal, now xreal, sub where having people from the company to talk to about issues helps. im not trying to market anything but just use an example. i doubt thats what they are going for but it can be a positive side effect.

asterfield , to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

Reddit doesn’t seem to understand what their platform is for. If people are adding “reddit” to the end of google searches, it shows that they want brands to talk less, and real people to talk more.

cassetti ,

no no no, they don't want you to use google. They want you to use Reddit search instead, because it's so awesome!

gravitas_deficiency ,

They put the same amount of time, effort, research, and engineering into Reddit search that they put into the official Reddit app!

MaggiWuerze ,

Or their video player, or their mod tools

  • Downvote button removed for recognised brand accounts.
halfmanhalfalligator , to technology in Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

It really feels like they presented a road map at the beginning of the year and are sticking to it no matter what, neither looking at their own user base nor what is happening in the world of big social media right now.

It’s almost impressive.

    The only way I can believe Reddit is this stupid is if investors are holding a gun to their head and demand profitability.

    Rentlar ,

    If they weren’t before, they would be after an IPO.

    postmateDumbass ,

    What are they raising capital for?

    Why IPO without an expansion into new markets that requires funding?

    There is no growth on the horizon for reddit that justifys overpaying for ownership at IPO prices.
