Sign me the hell up! One of the biggest issues with the 5950x was power draw coming up against most am4 Mobo limits. X3d tends to be geared for lower power because of cooling reasons - it might just work!
There's no stopping china w/ AI in the long term. All the US can do is slow them down and hopefully make sure America is sufficiently provisioned to deal with whatever China is cooking. That said, I don't buy into the argument that slowly China down today is only going to speed them up later. China has been going full bore on silicon for a while and is spending and doing as much as possible to decouple from the west in these segments. So, yes, sanctions are an effective tool to slowing them down. China's only speed is lightning fast. Sanctions puts them at more like "thunder fast".
Really depends on demand regionally. The 7900 xtx isn't really flying off the shelves in the west. It's kind of expensive and I'd say the GPU market in general feels a bit tapped out on the consumer side.
They will have to start banning AMD
Fortunately for AMD, their software is not yet good enough to leverage those tflops effectively. It'll kind of suck when that day does happen, though, because it probably would lead to a ban.
About that... :(
Amen. Sooner or later. What's worse, people will think "Nvidia will just sell to others" but if Microsoft has an advantage, buying more H100s to compete will just dig you into a capex hole.
That's a bit of a loaded statement..
