       | Kind of a related question: Where can I follow news/tidbits
       | coming from hotchips 2023? Anandtech used to be my go to place,
       | but nowadays calling it anemic would be a compliment...

         | the past few years.

         | Cutress's AI chips podcast[1].

           | I was so deeply disappointed by Ian Cutress's evolution in
           | the space. While at AnandTech I noticed his editorial bits,
           | his subjective interpretation of the objective numbers had an
           | unmistakable bias towards Intel... middling numbers at the
           | peak of Intel's complacency were suddenly "great" in his
           | articles. At one point I think he very publicly went out of
           | his way to excuse Intel for lying in some benchmark or demo.
           | That was a new low for AT's editorial standard.
           | 
           | Then he went on his way and I tried following him to see if
           | he brings some quality independent content but it's so
           | derivative. There's no deep insight, no originality. He's
           | just reprocessing info from primary sources. At one point I
           | felt like watching reaction videos and eventually decided to
           | stick with those primary sources. I hope he finds his niche
           | though.

       | This is definitely an interesting processor, design-wise. Would
       | be interesting to see how various workloads perform on it.

       | RISC-V enables the best processors.

         | I don't really see how the ISA is relevant, maybe that it
         | affects 3% of a chip performance, 15%, or perhaps even 30% but
         | either way it is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Our
         | software is order of magnitudes slower than it could be, RISC-V
         | or x86 doesn't change anything.
