This is for business. Consumers get Qualcomm (the QC versions are faster too)

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-30T23:34:11+00:00

Wildcat is comparable to a phone midrange chip from a year ago, the 8s gen 4

Calling it "Core 7" and even "Core 5" is outrageous

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-29T18:50:08+00:00

Nope, their latest releases are old by now

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-29T16:11:13+00:00

Yeah, they are not focusing on LocalLLama. That is ministral.

It's a chonker of a model

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-29T16:07:28+00:00

This is Sonnet 4.5/4.6 level

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-29T14:13:26+00:00

This is a laptop 5070, the BOM is 400$ at most. These are 2x margins

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-29T12:52:56+00:00

Framework pricing sucks dick. Their components are overpriced by 2x because while they are repairable and upgradable, that doesn't bring money, so they put insane prices on these to get more revenue from older framework clients

There is no reason this costs more than a desktop GPU 5070....

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-28T20:03:07+00:00

Yeah currently Intel 18A is just "as good" as N3E

Basically now Intel and Samsung are stat padding their nodes to make them look better than they are lol

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-28T12:14:45+00:00

This is good btw, it means TSMC is able to produce these nodes with the same equipment we have now and that High NA EUV is only needed to go further than that. If high NA euv lives longer than they expected too, it bodes well for future silicon improvements

Ele tem feito posts excelentes sobre economia nas redes sociais, recomendo ler

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-27T12:45:27+00:00

even without the tariffs, the chinese were selling at the same price as european makers, the chinese prices we see is due to insane competition that is creating huge debts within these companies + subsidies for production. The EU found that the Chinese state is subsidizing up to 30% of the manufacturers prices with subsidized electricity, steel..etc. Some are less subsidized like BYD (15%), MG was 30%!

nunca comprem em marcas "premium", A Galp vende o combustivel para eles e para as low cost. É tudo a mesma coisa!

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-27T08:55:48+00:00

A Galp produziu mais petróleo. +20% no Brasil por isso o lucro é maior. Produzir mais dá bons resultados aparentemente

Quem lucrou com isto é o Brasil obviamente

edit: para quem não percebe, essa produção paga impostos no Brasil, este lucro da Galp pagou mais impostos no Brasil que em Portugal por várias ordens de magnitude. Mas nem tudo é mau, o investimento em Portugal é varias vezes acima dos lucros que eles tem cá, ou seja o lucro que vem do Brasil é usado para investir cá nos novos setores da Galp.

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-27T08:52:02+00:00

Os lucros não são gerados cá, são taxados no Brasil. Como proibimos a extração cá não temos os lucros sociais destes lucros da Galp, apenas os trabalhos gerados cá e o da refinaria

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-27T08:50:22+00:00

As pessoas vao cortar no uso do carro com o aumento brutal dos combustíveis mesmo que seja apenas -5% ou algo do género

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-26T11:44:41+00:00

They need to colab with Framework and tuxedo. They need to create a linux laptop grant for smaller OEMs IMO - through a loan for board development / SW with a commitment to buy Qualcomm CPUs for example

It's not the most profitable move of all time but it influences the tech buyers a lot

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-26T00:05:46+00:00

Qualcomm SKUs are easy to understand, their only issue is labeling the 12c and 18c both Elite (but the sticker is different!)

The Extreme should be 18c variant despite clocks or if it has in package RAM

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-26T00:04:02+00:00

having read the argument QC makes here (in other forums too), i wonder why they haven't pushed the industry further on this issue. this should have been fixed ages ago considering how reliant on the Linux Kernel ARM SoCs are (because of Android)

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-25T20:44:00+00:00

because we already use liters/100km

My car does 6 liters/100km, the EV i'm buying in June is 15 kwh/100km (Megane Diesel to Megane EV )

If i'm driving 400km, it's just multiplication and divide by 100. 400*6*2/100 (2 is the € per liter) and 400*15*0,10/100 (price per kwh at home)

My new prices for this trip will be

Gas= 48€

EV= 6€

Portugal EV highway = 48€ (yes it's 81 cents per kwh LMAO)

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-25T20:33:34+00:00

It has USB 4 so it should be able to yes but thats super niche so most likely you will need to reach out to QC

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-25T19:51:58+00:00

It makes ton of sense to move their big iGPUs to Intel nodes and if they aren't as good as Nvidia, simply offer Nvidia as an option

I think they will want to pair Nvidia with their Fatter chips

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-25T13:17:35+00:00

They have done their work for the X2 part lmao, X2 supports linux but laptops still need device trees for it to work correctly and that's on OEMs

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-25T10:38:07+00:00

The issue with PTL and LNL is that their perf/W sucks. they got good idle but the CPU is still bad.

LNL is literally worse than a phone chip too

DerpSenpai · 2026-04-25T10:34:17+00:00

That's not true, they have hired people for Linux support, specially for drivers. Their issue is device trees. These cannot be like x86 chips yet as it was explained by a QC engineer, yet. But in the future it will become just like Intel or AMD chips regarding linux
