Blackwell: Nvidia's GPU

news.ycombinator.com Chester Lam 2026-02-17 00:40:13

Nvidia has a long tradition of building giant GPUs. Blackwell, their latest graphics architecture, continues that tradition. GB202 is the largest Blackwell die. It occupies a massive 750mm2 of area, and has 92.2 billion transistors. GB202 has 192 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), the closest equivalent to a CPU core on a GPU, and feeds them with a massive memory subsystem. Nvidia’s RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell features the largest GB202 configuration to date. It sits alongside the RTX 5090 in Nvidia’s

Intel Nova Lake CPUs may finally bring a 3D V-Cache rival to desktop gaming

techspot.com Kishalaya Kundu 2026-02-18 11:55:00

Rumor mill: Since their launch in early 2022, AMD's X3D CPUs have become the most-sought after CPUs for PC gamers who want top performance, thanks largely to their 3D V-Cache technology, which enables higher frame rates and smoother gameplay. Intel is now reportedly planning to counter AMD's recent dominance in high-end gaming by incorporating similar technology in its upcoming Nova Lake CPUs. According to tipster @Haze2K1, at least two SKUs in the Nova Lake lineup will ship with increased L3 c

Broken by design: systemd 09 Feb 2014 19:56:09 GMT Recently the topic of systemd has come up quite a bit in various communities in which I'm involved, including the musl IRC channel and on the Busybox mailing list. While the attitude towards systemd in these communities is largely negative, much of what I've seen has been either dismissable by folks in different circles as mere conservatism, or tempered by an idea that despite its flaws, "the design is sound".
