Hobbyists, sure. Startups, maybe (from what I've seen, they're far more likely to rent a server or something). Mainstream corporations, definitely not.

Official support, drivers, bulk orders direct from Nvidia, staying on Nvidia's good side

I doubt any big, mainstream western corporations would use GeForce cards for AI, even if they have the same amount of vRAM as workstation cards (and they'd never have the same memory as AI-specific cards such as the H100). Hobbyists will for sure, but they make up such a tiny portion of the market that I doubt it would change the overall demand. Chinese and Russian companies will, I guess, but I don't think that would have the same effect as crypto mining, which has immediate returns without any expertise for individual users, unlike AI applications.

Based on their announcement presentation for the MacBook Air M2, you're supposed to use it for gaming and video production. I don't understand the whole "the MacBook Air is only for web browsing and word processing" excuse when Apple's own marketing materials claim otherwise.

IIRC they've already started going after anti-adblock updates to Chromium.

IIRC Zen3+ exists already and only has DDR5 controllers.

Yeah, Apple's secret sauce isn't necessarily perf/watt in an all-core load (although they're obviously near the top there as well) but in idle power consumption. I'm guessing that M3 does better here, but I remember seeing a Phoronix test/review that showed that when capped at 15 W, the latest Ryzen laptop CPU beats the M2 in all-core workloads, although the M2 gets better battery life in "normal" workloads.

Lina Khan is doing great work but yeah she can only do so much

Aside from the screen size, is there any reason to buy this if you already have a phone clip for your PS5 controller?

That's like saying my monitor has "manual VRR" because I can set it to 75 Hz mode or 60 Hz mode or 48 Hz mode or 30 Hz mode or 24 Hz mode.

Check out the Digital Foundry video.

But in either case, this game is also available on macOS, so if you have a MacBook, that's by far the superior option, unless you really want the handheld experience (in which case I'd think an iPad isn't great either).
