Which might give you a hint that the silicon cost of a viable and actually useful AV1 hardware encoder is going to be huge. Hardware encoders are getting...

It is really promising that not only is all the new hardware in the second half of 2020 supporting AV1 hardware decoding but we also see comprehensive...

This is a compute workstation. And sadly OpenCL is a disaster dumpster fire so very few commercial projects use it. They all use CUDA. Its a problem,...

You can use it, same as why btrfs has been great for years but almost every distro still defaults to ext4. There is huge inertia to change that when the...

Meanwhile KDE (plasma, frameworks) 6 will still make sense by being based off Qt 6. Like it always has been. And the applications will still just use...

To be fair there is no ethically produced electronic device in existence. Particularly anything fully assembled at purchase probably sourced a ton of...

What people seem to miss is that it seems AMD likely crippled the h264 silicon to make room for hevc. The fixed function hardware doesn't always overlap...

Because Wayland was always only just a protocol spec. And at its 1.0 release nobody was chomping at the bit eager to implement it out of the gate because...

Meanwhile 90% of "modern" web development is with a javascript framework that spits out the html and css on the client except its not in a well...

Pretty sure those 3x00 XT announcements mean the 4000 series won't hit till late Q3 at the earliest. Think late September. That gives them another kernel...

Just topically, the reason why most pre-2000 games are PITAs with audio is due to the transition from OSS to ALSA combined with the general malaise in...

Id be interested in D9VK vs Gallium Nine benchmarks now that both are "mainstream" in DXVK and wine-nine respectively. Is there a PTS runner...

Paging functionality pretty much has to be hardware accelerated with specific silicon on a CPU to be usable at modern computation speeds. In that context,...

Its the same argument for compiled vs interpreted CPU code, or at least LLVM Intermediary or JVM Bytecode vs Javascript files.

Getting shaders...

Because they don't want to? Its their proprietary, undocumented, market-leading products.

Most corporations cooperate somewhat with free...
