So long as your CPU/SoC doesn't make up for well over 90% of the total power draw, you should be able to passively cool rather affordably. I...
Well the whole thing runs below 50W under full load. That being said, I don't recall temperatures ever going above 60C, even on a hot summer day....
Yep.... arguably not worth it. For anyone who is considering the idea, be aware that anything kind of rubbery (including the sheathing for wires)...
I did one better: My server is inside the aquarium, and submerged. It's mineral oil, so there's nothing living in it, but it still...
If you're saying that you might as well go all-out if you're already going to spend the better part of a grand for just a CPU, I agree. But...
Honestly, considering how much power the chip consumes under normal clock speeds, I think 450W would be reasonable when all 8 cores are pushed to...
Depending on your loop, there might not be much room for improvement. It seems like nowadays, it doesn't take much to heat soak even the largest...
I can see the appeal for those who want a large portable display. But that's literally all it's good for. I think Asus would be better off just...
Not necessarily. When it's still a desktop PC, you can make the footprint wider for more cooling capacity.
This is one of those products where it's really more a matter of profiting on an idea than actually making something innovative. Kind of like...
This kind of laptop only works on people who have to look at the keyboard to type. Even Asus acknowledges how impractical this is as an actual...
Not only is that objectively false, but if this is the mindset that chip makers put themselves in then we have a bleak future.
I'm a little surprised that flat PCs aren't more common. You basically just take a laptop motherboard and remove the keyboard, trackpad, display,...
Haha that would be an even worse place to put it - it'd suck up all the shop dust. That's why many industrial PCs are fanless. This is really...
I considered bringing him up but figured that was getting a little too tangential. I'm not subscribed (because I think there's a lot more...
Well, what's your definition of desktop? If you mean something that physically complies as a desktop board (so, like ATX or ITX) then there are...
His point was that AAA games are typically the most demanding and use the latest features. Therefore they are the ones that will run the worst on...
Oh right, well, this is a server platform so that's to be expected. ARM has really no purpose in workstations, unless you add a bunch of advanced...
Hah well that's like asking "is Swahili the national language of Japan?" ARM is distinguished because they don't use x86. The architecture of...
This is the kind of innovation to phone cameras that I'm ok with. I have significant doubts that this gimbal actually works well enough, but at...
