And where you put it. More dust if it’s on the floor/down low, especially if it’s on or near carpet. More dust in a bedroom than an office or living room. More dust in a small room over a large one. Plus how often you clean said room.

They do. The current 36 and 40 cu Navi cards out perform the 56 cu Vega cards in gaming. Cus aren’t a measure of performance, they’re like core counts. They tell you nothing about how those cus actually perform in a given task.

Not assumptions.

I assure you once there is dust clogging a heat sink, or crusting up on a fan the electric blower isn’t going to get it out.

I dunno you can assume that. These bits come out of AMD’s semi-custom division. The custom part of that being that while they’re the same architecture/design as AMD’s house bits, the exact specs and packaging are to order.

You don’t think dust lodged up inside heatsinks and under components restricts airflow? And traps heat? In the last spots you want that to happen?

There is supposed to be a second, lower powered and cheaper Xbox to go along with this. I seem to recall something similar with Sony. 

Not so much. GDDR7 RAM apparently doesn’t have a time line, so it ain’t coming out any time soon. NVME hard drives aren’t brand new, but they’ve only recently become common and there isn’t exactly a replacement on the horizon. The Zen2 processors won’t be the latest and greatest (Zen 3 desktop is out this year). But…

Computer units, or CUs, are like clusters of tiny CPUs that a graphics processor unit uses to compute stuff. The more CUs, the more powerful the GPU. Comparing CUs between the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 is much more telling than teraflops. The PlayStation essentially has the equivalent of a Radeon RX 5700…

Remember that there is meant to be a cheaper, lower powered XBox variant, and the specs haven't be announced for that. The series X is the fancy expensive one. That's probably gonna bracket lower than the PS5 in price and specs. 

Across gpu architectures sure. But Sony and MS are using the same gpu basically, so tflops to tflops is one appropriate measure of relative processing power. Sony is using a smaller or lower clocked version of RDNA2 

I did not grow up eating coddle. It’s a divisive dish a lot of people absolutely hate it. Most of my family in Ireland just doesn’t make it. And my grandfather won’t allow us to make it because it reminds him of the depression and war rationing.

Well its complicated because unlike moonshine “poitín” is not just a word for illicit booze. It’s just that poitín was basically illegal for a very long time, and that had a large impact on the details of the spirit.

There’s a few. Glendalough made a big stink about exporting a few years back.

Fairy Rings in Ireland tends not to refer to rings of mushrooms in a field, though it can.

It’s meant to be back bacon. Streaky bacon is commonly available in Ireland and the UK. But it’s a sort of low rent, low quality product similar to fast food bacon.

Patrick was from Britain. And dude was a Catholic Priest, the name was originally Patricius. Both are adaptations. Pádraig is where we get the name Paddy from though. 

Wow. You missed the line on that one. Yes Paddy is a slur against the Irish. And while the Irish wouldn’t be too pleased to have it thrown at them as a slur. It is in fact one of the common shortened versions of Patrick.

I’m not saying boxes have stepped up their game. Like I said the better pizza places near me never used them. We’re talking back in the 80's near to when they were invented. With a 24" NY pie, no pizza table.

It’s not even something random. And it doesn’t need foresight. There are countless examples of global pandemics and regional epidemics. Not only the 1918 flu which is probably the worst and most prominent example, but multiple flu epidemics and pandemics hitting heaviest in Asia in the 50's and 60's. You know, during…
