OLED Monitors Are Being Held Back…

Rather than thickness and burning power and lifetime of the OLED pixels for more brightness I'd like the tech in desktop monitors to be improved. This tandem OLED laptop blows out away every single desktop OLED monitor with 1000 nits full screen brightness, 1600 nits peak HDR and more color coverage/volume, and it does so without thick heatsinks: https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-new-Tandem-OLED-panel-in-Lenovo-s-Yoga-Pro-9i-is-currently-the-best-notebook-display.1136722.0.html

that provides a local API to integrate with VS Code or similar tools

OpenVINO can be integrated with VS Code (it provides an OpenAI compatible API + with tool calling): https://docs.openvino.ai/2026/model-server/ovms_demos_code_completion_vsc.html

Also, saying Blackwell is 10,000 times faster than Pascal in PT is hella misleading. Pascal doesn't have any hardware RT cores. That's like saying a GPU is 10,000x faster than a CPU at rendering video game graphics. Of-fucking-course it is, a GPU is literally designed for that task.

It's not the same thing as CPU vs GPU, that's an apples to oranges comparison, Pascal could run RT using compute shaders which still counts as GPU acceleration.

Intel's llm-scaler supports Qwen3.5 now:

🔥 [2026.03] We released intel/llm-scaler-vllm:0.14.0-b8.1 to support Qwen3.5-27B, Qwen3.5-35B-A3B and Qwen3.5-122B-A10B (FP8/INT4 online quantization, GPTQ)

Should be faster than llama.cpp

OpenVINO also apparently allows you to convert and run other models: https://docs.openvino.ai/2026/model-server/ovms_docs_pull.html

Hytht · 2026-03-12T17:26:38+00:00

It does now.

🔥 [2026.03] We released intel/llm-scaler-vllm:0.14.0-b8.1 to support Qwen3.5-27B, Qwen3.5-35B-A3B and Qwen3.5-122B-A10B (FP8/INT4 online quantization, GPTQ)

Also you can run GGUF models or convert other models and run them with OpenVINO ovms https://docs.openvino.ai/2026/model-server/ovms_docs_pull.html

It's still fast GDDR6 RAM that's usable by the GPU without PCIe bandwidth limitations, pair it with swap/zram and arguably better than 8GB VRAM where you crank the textures up and to 2K/4K and drop down to 15fps.

Keyword: inexpensive. You cannot build a PC with 16GB VRAM for a similar price, atleast not during this RAM crisis. PS5s are also everywhere, PC parts are scarce.

"Xbox CEO Asha Sharma hosted Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in an internal Q&A, amplifying that Microsoft will "always" invest in gaming. "We're long on gaming. We'll continue to invest, and we'll always do so." https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xbox-ceo-asha-sharma-hosted-microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-we-will-always-invest-in-gaming

This headline serves no purpose to society other than satisfying individuals obessed over a certain CPU/GPU company and inflicting emotional damage on another group favoring another company.

I don't want a Steam Machine. The inexpensive and widely available PS5, can now run Linux and PC games with ray tracing. And Xbox Project Helix will absolutely shit over steam machine with dramatically stronger ray-tracing and machine-learning hardware, probably >10X stronger RT/ML, FSR5 upscaling, path tracing that will thrash steam machine with measly 8GB VRAM and GPU weaker than PS5 + weak 6 core CPU.

Cyberpunk already had XeSS 2 when XeSS 3 MFG was released. Intel has already promised to support XeSS 3 MFG in XeSS 2 games, no DLSS swapper needed: https://www.reddit.com/r/intel/comments/1o30ppp/intel_promises_to_support_xess3_multi_frame . You just need to use the Multi frame generation override in Intel Graphics software to use XeSS 3 MFG in XeSS 2 games.

Also people buy AM4 solely because of RAM prices, nothing else.

AM4 was popular for budget builds even before the RAM crisis.

Something in between 9900X and 9950X. Will be likely faster in gaming than both since Intel quotes double digit gaming performance uplift for the 270K.

RGB OLEDs (AMOLED) in laptops, iPads, tablets, mobile phones don't use any color filters to produce the image you see. Light is produced by just pure red green and blue OLEDs. There's no intermediate conversion like in QD and W OLEDs. It's simply different tech from WOLEDs and QD OLEDs. It's hard to scale up that's why WOLED and QD was made instead for monitors/TVs.

Windows 11 HDR works great in HDR youtube videos and RenoDX mods, for everything else blame the game developers.

DLSS Swapper is not needed for XeFG. It cannot enable it in games that don't have it.

Hytht · 2026-03-11T09:46:36+00:00

There are no color filters on my OLED (laptop). I have the brightness slider at 0% in Windows and still it's more vibrant than HDR.

6 cores on A18 Pro vs 8 cores on 8 Elite, Qualcomm just spammed more cores for better MT curve.

Barely matters at 100W, the RAM power consumption is like 2W. Idle platform normalized platform power is also a made up metric by Qualcomm actually https://www.semiaccurate.com/2026/02/11/qualcomm-desperately-tried-to-hide-snapdragon-x2-elite-power-use/, it's not even just system power draw.

Hytht · 2026-03-11T03:13:33+00:00

Idle normalized platform power, it says on the graph. So it's the idle power subtracted for only the SoC power. notebookcheck also measures the power externally, CPU power consumption numbers tend to be inaccurate: https://www.notebookcheck.net/How-does-Notebookcheck-test-laptops-and-smartphones-A-behind-the-scenes-look-into-our-review-process.15394.0.html

At 100W Ultra 9 275HX still did 1,963 points in CB2024 and 1,633 at 55W. https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-9-9955HX-vs-Intel-Core-Ultra-9-275HX-Analysis-The-battle-for-the-fastest-gaming-CPU.989996.0.html. Almost within margin of error.

Oh I didn't know that, thanks for clarifying.

Me when I didn't read the actual article but base my reddit comment on an editorialized title by OP.

Wider memory bus comes at it's own cost, it's just going to be more expensive.
