@epsi Monster Hunter the only game that lets you and requires you to sharpen hammers and horns

@epsi yay more Horn-Bros. But never forget to sharpen that Horn. No one wants to hear dull notes.

I will see myself out...

@ignaloidas @wolf480pl @mikoto Lots of good arguments I can agree on tbh.

Though the argument on size is I think a bit flawed. GPUs will almost always use more die-space than the CPU thats just how they are. Even on the shitty Intel graphics it was and is like that.

I have seen the framework is a small box and GPUs are huge these days, but you can still build small very powerful rigs for the money they asking and will be better still. Also you likely wont be limited on power as much, rather cooling.

It has a somewhat AI-focus as the name suggests. You can have a very big memory Pool for that GPU allowing for loading big, big models. It should do well in its designed workload.

But tbh framework wanzs a lot of money for convienence alone, also with no screen, no battery or keyboard making it a bad deal. for 2300€ you should be normally be able to get quite the decent standard-sized desktop. But I guess like with ITX you pay a hefty premium for size alone. It may br cute but the value is not there for me certainly.

@wolf480pl @ignaloidas @mikoto Also it could be a better gaming rig as well with differently architected memory. Pretty sure AMD will sell you a kit with the APU and RAM already. So thats why its soldered I guess. Kinda weird for framework to have such a device but okay.

But tbh if its a GPU-centric device then why use LPDDR5X (and soldered one at that?). I mean yeah the soldering does give you slight latency advantage but certainly here it is done to save space? Or for better clocks. I mean 8000 seems high. But GDDR will certainly run circles around and be way better for the GPU-portion of the APU. These things bandwidth starved for sure on DDR limiting performance. I don't know if bandwidth is important for other GPU-heavy tasks like rendering, editing and simulation though.

But yeah even the 395 AI Pro Max+ was a TDP of 45-120W. Prett, sure with 120W power envelope you could have done better memory wise even if GDDR used more Power. But thats on AMD not Framework.

It is kinda cool to see a 40-CU APU-Monster though. From the architecture I would not see this as "GPU-First" though. It has a strong 16-Core CPU on it and still uses DDR instead of GDDR. Consoles are more GPU-oriented in that regard.

It just is hella overpriced to be a desktop tbh. Yeah its small and uses less power but thats it. If you want to do serious tasks an AM5-Desktop with an Upcoming AMD-GPU will just be better. That means if power draw is of no concern. Also would game better for less money

@fristi I did not just brick my Arch installing stuff lol

@akkoma As always thank you again for the quick fixes

Guten Morgen! 🚌

Fixed some hole on my jeans today.

PS: It is kinda fun taking pics with a proper Camera and not a phone.

@puniko So.. Where is the anime booba I was promised?

@mia grr. I get the frustration. I liked Xperias for a long time. They are nice phones But these batteries with their stupid connectors. I hate them with a passion.

@pixel good old sempervideo lol

Doing some cute, little silly things today. Once I get 2 of these ones done they will be gifted to a lovely couple, being Studio Haoto, that does artistry stuff together. Since the wife of the couple started V-Tubing I wanted to make a little something. She said on stream that you can send her any fan-art you like (even a stick-figure would be fine she said lol) I thought of something a little extra.

Since they are also based in germany I can send them stuff. So I thought put my sewing skills to the test and good use and send something sewn together of fabric scraps.

I figured out the basic shape by now which is cool. Though some hand-sewing will be required (closing the hole for filling it with a blind stitch) and embroidery will need to be done by hand as well. But it might be pretty cool still.

@mezzodrinker You are no fun. But I am also not into idols that much. They do be having cute outfits though ngl

Miku is the only Idol for me

@Stellar @puniko we all do....

@mezzodrinker IT WAS NOT ME THANK YOUTUBE! ITS THE ALGORYTHYM!!111

Since youtube decided to show me this, your brains shall also suffer now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNikvbf7SGg

@mikoto yeah of course thats the best thing to do anyway

@quad I see thats nice to hear tbh. Looking forward to those benchmarks. It will be a struggle to spec out a PC again though for someone I know.

@mikoto It would be nice. Not for myself. But someone else I know wanted a nice pc and that one might fit the bill if RT Perf does not suck and pricing is okay.
