Not very promising if you ask me. I mean ML is not always a good choice but for upscaling what DLSS achieves I can't think of any other competitive way.
The tech is amazing. It saw 1080p ->2160p videos from actual games that look totally credible (as if rendered in higher resolutions) plus they run way smoother.
That could be a game changer and I'm afraid AMD has nothing to offer that comes close.
So with ARM + DLSS that sounds like the way to go for new console and other gaming platforms, no?
Bloomberg says Nintendo will launch a new Switch around September/October. Support for 4K output is mentioned. The Switch currently uses Nvidia's Tegra X1 and Maxwell graphics. Depending on how radical of an upgrade it is, the new one could use DLSS to upscale 720p/1080p to 4K. Or maybe it will just add support for 4K H.265/VP9 playback. If it's the former, there's your best example of an ARM + DLSS console. It's the console best positioned to benefit from DLSS.

nfo.
"Accountable democracy' didn't do a thing about it. Neither did the majority of consumers defect to non-backdoored alternatives, aside from an informed few.

Maybe Michael already saw some accidentally leaked benchmarks on OpenBenchmarking.org, with nVidia having already used the PTS extensively when the Switch was only known under its codename "NX".

Originally posted by misGnomer View PostI get that, but there ought to be a way to 'backport' advances so that the older foundries can build more efficient (not to mention more secure) products. All those saved gigawatts add up, or rather reduce our collective CO2 output.
The point is that advances in manufacturing technology are what enable more sophisticated designs. So, I think they won't backport well. Intel tried this with Rocket Lake, and it largely underwhelmed.
CPU designs are basically tied to a fairly narrow range of manufacturing technology. I think that's just a fact of life.

As for x86 vs. ARM, I think it's more of a toss-up, but if ARM has some core they really wanted to use, then I bet AMD would play ball. AMD is an ARM licensee, though they haven't done anything more than incorporate it in their security processor, in recent years. Do look up the Opteron A1100 and K12, sometime.

But yes, the comments are a level of awful that I thought didn't exist outside of sites like 4chan.

The most energy-efficient chips are made on the latest manufacturing nodes, and those are also the most expensive.
Beyond that, I think a big reason why the developing world doesn't get more energy-efficient stuff is due to the amount their governments tend to subsidize electricity (usually dirty coal or oil-fueled). They should instead focus taxes and subsidies on getting more energy-efficient appliances for their people, and gradually ease off the energy subsidies.
It this all seems off topic to some, don't worry. 2020s promises to be quite interesting, albeit in the sense of an 'ancient' Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times".
