MalReynolds

Also it’s martial, not marshal, which is reasonably important as martial means pertaining to war, i.e. the army running things.

Buut, it’s an even when you lose you win deal (for the employer), what are the odds they’re hiring back people at lower wages with no seniority. Customer base loss of confidence is a next quarter problem.

It’s PCIe 4.0 :(

Boo! Silly me thinking DDR5 implied PCIe5, what a shame.

Feels like they’re testing the waters with Halo, hopefully a loud ‘waters great, dive in’ signal gets through and we get something a bit fitter for desktop use, maybe with more memory (and bandwidth) next gen. Still, gotta love the power usage, makes for one hell of a NAS / AI inference server (and inference isn’t that fussy about PCIe bandwidth, hell eGPU works fine as long as the model / expert fits in VRAM.

Pretty sure that’s a x4 PCIe slot (admittedly PCIe 5x4, but not many video cards speak PCIe5), would totally trade a usb4 for a x8, but these laptop chips are pretty constrained lanes wise.
