Well, here goes nothing, sometimes to move forward you have to leave some things behind.
From now on I will no longer be making chip annotations and will only be contributing to media in limited capacity. Minecraft testing TBD, but for now on hold too.
Thank you all! π

When ordering from German stores, there is a small but non-zero chance to get a little freebie snack.
Danke @Caseking

I still donβt have the package btw, great job @UPS
2 weeks to redeliver a package from a drop off point like half a mile away is quite a feat, we will see if they actually bother ringing the bell on Monday or if it will just be dropped off again. π

The package just arrived with no prior notice as usual.
The redelivery tracking said Monday so even that is just wrong I canβt with this damn company, what if I was actually normal and enjoyed my vacation outside the house.

AMD is becoming just as bad as Intel during its quad core era.
No core count increase on Ryzen 5 since Zen 1 (2017)
No core count increase on Ryzen 7 since Zen 1 (2017)
Now asking $350 for a one-trick pony CPU from 2022
At this point they only care about milking their userbase.

At this point I believe "X3D" mindshare might be more powerful than Nvidia's.
$350 for this thing, lmao.

This is still not fixed btw and @discord_support ghosted me when I asked about it being closed (since the bug tracker didn't have a clear resolution indicated).

Interesting @discord bug I just noticed (CC: @discord_support)
At startup, Discord lights up ALL GPUs in the system briefly, that's fine, the problem is it never properly un-initializes them.
So I see 0% load, no VRAM usage, but the dGPU in my laptop can't enter sleep.

Iβm still amazed that it isnβt illegal for @TMobile_CZE to just not allow you to purchase the same or lower tier of mobile data tariff, instead the app and website only lists the higher tier ones (more expensive).
The one we have now will be EOL soon.

On the desktop it is a bit easier to see... Same behavior in MS Edge, so for once this isn't a Firefox bug.
Using as much CPU to playback a video (resolution, FPS and codec doesn't seem to matter) as Minecraft pushing 240 FPS with max render distance, absurd.

Seems like that supposed YouTube memory leak bug (one of very many if anything) isn't the only thing.
I'm seeing a CPU core almost constantly near full boost while playing back a video. 22W battery drain vs the more expected 5W, can get it down to 8W with battery saver at least.

For what its worth... @TeamYouTube there is some sort of bug since a few days ago that hogs CPU resources - 1 thread at high load.
Seems to go away after a while if I keep a short video on loop, but it doesn't seem to be tied to decoding the buffered bitstream.

3GHz frequency cap does wonders to misbehaving applications... not exactly a thing a more efficient SoC (Apple/Qualcomm) would fix since it would also be forced to high clocks where the efficiency advantage quickly diminishes.
We still need properly written programs! π

The vibecoded @nvidia GPU drivers shall continue until users are unable to display an image. Oh I guess we are already at that point.

I've always said you're special, the kind of special that would buy the 9950X3D2.

re: 9950X3D2 Paper Launch Edition - regional issues it seems, oh well
Apr 22
Yeah checking again the 9950X3D2 is in quite a few stores now, amusingly still missing in the usual major ones LOL
Maybe if it pops up on Alza tomorrow I may be tempted, the price is insane, but not insane enough to completely make me say no π

Another update on the PTM7950 swap now that it settled in (Minecraft temps went down another 5c vs original post)
AK Endfield
CPU 95c -> 85c
GPU 85c -> 83c (but 60W -> 70W, thus FPS 10-15%)
Fans 5000 RPM -> 4100 RPM
Tbh I expected lesser gains, I guess the hype is justified π

Whatever crusty paste Asus used on my TUF A14 belongs back to rocks from the dawn of earth's formation.
Repasted with PTM7950, iso-workload:
GPU 80c -> 70c
CPU 95c (TJmax bumping so not accurate) -> 82c.
Amazing (yes the workload is Minecraft, single-thread hotspot goes crazy)
