This machine language, though sensitive, I'd say isn't much different than a person knowing assembler for some platform, because in the end, code is written in a high level language, gets turned into assembler, which gets turned into machine language, and I'm SURE that the machine language for many CPUs already exists in the public/illegal domain. I don't see how that would change what a hacker does. The microcode may be more sensitive, but the type of hacks that can deal with microcode usually have to be done ON the machine that's being hacked, and not remotely, which is why some entity, I forget which, recently said, maintain control of your machines, don't let another person use your computer if you don't know them. Maybe that was AMD or Intel, since recent hacks have been made known for both of those companies' CPUs.

Hello Steve. Thank you for highlighting the Folding Home cause! Do me a favor next time you set this up: Try configuring each slot in advanced settings to have an extra slot option for client-type and beta before running the next work unit. This should immediately flag you to move up to the top of the work chain. Some users will try client-type advanced and it works for them but I have yet to use it. Let me know how it goes and remember to never give up. This HUMAN MALWARE is quite nasty but we believe in Rafal and Prof. Voelz pointing us closer to a solution to neutralize this menace. The servers DO need to be taken offline once in a while to move large chunks of data around but this response has been VERY impressive. Outstanding work, everyone!

[FLOP] is not a fair comparison No, this is bad information. FLOP in the supercomputing world is standardized to double-precision floating point work, and Folding Home takes great pains to make the comparison fair and reasonable across their computing network. Where the comparison actually breaks down is that computing power isn't necessarily useful because of bottlenecks in the code. There is only a certain amount of parallelism to a problem, and so you can wind up having idle processors either waiting for work, or waiting to receive results from another processor.

So you KNOW that Nvidia will buy that. They were staring down the barrel of having hugely competitive AMD top end GPU's coming out before the end of 2020 AND having their existing Turing cards turn in worse performance due to all cross platform games being coded for identical Radeon / XBOX hardware. Now they don't have to worry. Next gen of Nvidia GPU's will have all of that covered. MIRACULOUSLY of course. Just some really good communication twixt engineering and marketing departments, probably. No 3. 5GB here! Keep moving.

i bet the leak of these specs will allow better opensource drivers to be created for amd cards as plataforms that dont get official support like linux, need to do reverse engineering in order to get drivers from these guys. and the official drivers they give to these plataforms sucks. i remember a time when the unofficial opensource drivers on linux were better than the official proprietary ones. so i am happy some got it and i hope they release it to public.

What's happening with Amazon is that they're not restocking anything non-essential. So they are limited to stock on hand. I just bought a Phanteks case because I needed one. I couldn't get the specific case I wanted, but I was able to get a different SKU. I pulled the trigger on that because Phanteks has phased out the case I bought in favor of newer designs, and I wanted the older one, so it's unlikely to be restocked.

. and will stay far away from this, They have no interest in it, and NVIDIA doesn't want to make it's GPUs buggier anyway. Yep, copying something will also copy the bugs in it, It happened with the capacitor plague, a factory stole an early formula from the competition and mass produced it - thinking the formula was tested and ready, Those capacitors failed quickly and were widely used everywhere.

AMD fixed issues I had with my 7970 with their latest drivers. But it's a shame it took for them ages to do that. I remember times when refresh rate of my screen could set itself at 59 hz instead 60hz, even when refresh rate of my screen being set to 60 hz. AMD is good a company, but they should not forget about software and drivers that support their hardware.

The hacker is now known, it's GN. They stole all future up coming Beta Drivers and Alpha Drivers, AMD will have more very very very bad reviews from GN for the next 2-3 years solid. Also GN will not be getting any money from AMD as well as normal; so essentially nothing changes. Carry on with your quarantining.

If she doesn't get a buyer, she says she will just leak everything. The hacker claims she found the unencrypted information in a computer/server hacked via exploits. This is why we can't have nice things. This age of wokeness only perpetuals the myths that some hot hollywood actress can hack.
