Hi,

Not sure if this is the right Reddit for this, so I apologize if it is. I'm a student currently trying to learn more about AI and hardware bottlenecks. I'm trying to understand how cloud computing/distributed systems and scaling works, how current AI systems outsource and manage compute, what they are thinking about in terms of infrastructure, alternatives to GPU, etc, for handling compute, at this point, you get the picture. I've been trying to find resources to learn about this stuff, but it has been harder for me to find hardware/infrastructure related literature than AI/LLM related stuff. I would prefer to learn about AI/LLMs from a hardware pov. Can anyone help here?

I recently build: 10 HDD’s on a Raspberry pi 5! Ultra low wattage server.

I just created this crazy 10 Bay HDD working on a raspberry pi 5. I think some of you might be interested in how this works! :)

I have a few videos on my channel, showing full earnings and transparency.

Merry Christmas 🎄 Best Andreas

I have heard the odd comment from Hardware Unboxed about a difference ebtween AMD and Nvidia with HDR. What are they if any?

I cant decide which to use, I noticed a couple of things.

• Cinebench 2024 seems to reward higher memory speeds which may or may not be desirable.
• Cinebench r23 seems to be more focused on CPU only based results which for me is usually my favourite.
• Cinebench 2024 scores on Apple chips have insane single core performance that is not reflected in the R23 benchmark. For example, M4 chip scores a stunning 52% better score compared to the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in Cinebench 2024 but that is not reflected in other benchmarks for example not a big fan of Geekbench 6 due to the varity of tasks it now tests (including AI which I couldnt care less) shows a smaller 33% lead and Cinebench R23 shows a 3% difference. I dont know what to believe here!

9070XT Rumor

base2.8 boost3.0-3.1

Power：Reference 26xW，custom variant up to 330W

Gaming performance：Reference ~4080（-5%）

• Dimensity 9500

2x Cortex X930 @ ~4 GHz.

6x Cortex A730 @ ~3.5 GHz.

TSMC N3P.

• Dimensity 9400

1x Cortex X925 (2 MB L2) @ 3.6 GHz.

3x Cortex X4 (1 MB L2) @ 3.3 GHz.

4x Cortex A720 (512 KB L2) @ 2.4 GHz.

TSMC N3E.

• Dimensity 9300

1x Cortex X4 (1 MB L2) @ 3.25 GHz.

3x Cortex X4 (512 KB L2) @ 2.8 GHz.

4x Cortex A720 (256 KB L2) @ 2.0 GHz.

TSMC N4P.

Cache sizes of 9500 CPU are unknown, but it can be expected to be similar or higher than 9400.

What is immediately noticeable is that 9500 changes to a 2+6 design from the 1+3+4 design of 9400. You might think they are simply copying the 2+6 design introduced by 8 Elite, but the reasons are quite sophisticated.

Cortex X930 and A730 are ARMv9.4 cores. So they cannot mixed and match with ARMv9.2 cores (X925, X4, A725, A720). Dimensity 9500 will also adopt SME, which necessitates that all the cores in the CPU should be of the X930/A730/A530 generation.

If Mediatek was to keep using the 1+3+4 design, they'll have to use 4 X930 cores and 4 A730 cores. X930 is huge (12 wide decoder), has high licensing cost, and it consumes a ton of power. So having 4 X930 cores in a smartphone SoC is unsustainable. This is why Mediatek opted for a 2+6 design.

Having 6 A730 cores is great for power efficiency (at the lower section of the curve), because they have less leakage than Cortex X cores. You can see this in Geekerwan's video on 8400, where it has even better power efficiency than 9400 and 8 Elite at the lower section of the power curve, thanks to the 8 A725 cores.

Looking for tips on efficient builds that would run MS Flight Simulator ‘24 in mid-range video specs smoothly. Many thanks!
