alt Hacker NewsI went into reading the article thinking "why should this be interesting for me, it will only benefit AI bros anyway, but eh it's not like I got something better to read", and lo and behold...
> Mian Quddus, chairman of the JEDEC Board of Directors, said: “JEDEC members are actively shaping the standards that will define next generation modules for use in AI data centers, driving the future of innovation in infrastructure and performance.”
It's nice to see that there still is progress to be made given that a lot of modern semiconductor technology is at the edge of what plain physics and chemistry allow... but hell I can't say I'm happy that it, like with low-latency/high bandwidth communications and HFT, it will again be only the uber rich that can enjoy the new and fancy stuff for years. It's not like you can afford an average decent mid/upper range GPU these days thanks to the AI bros.

I mean, Nvidia was greedy even before then and AMD just did “Nvidia - 50 USD” or thereabout.
Intel Arc tried shaking up the entry level (retailers spit on that MSRP though) but sadly didn’t make that big of a splash despite the daily experience being okay (I have the B580). Who knows, maybe their B770 will provide an okay mid range experience that doesn’t feel like being robbed.
Over here, to get an Nvidia 5060 Ti 16 GB I'd have to pay over 500 EUR which is fucking bullshit, so I don’t.
