Do you agree that we need to hold back on developing these overpowered CPUs/GPUs and focus on improving energy efficiency?

https://www.techradar.com/computing/its-time-for-amd-intel-and-nvidia-to-call-a-truce-on-the-performance-arms-race-and-focus-on-sustainability-and-efficiency

>For consumers who are barely tapping into the performance that an Nvidia RTX 4080 Super brings to the table, much less what an RTX 4090 or AMD RX 7900 offers, you have to ask if this kind of performance is worth the cost in terms of carbon emissions.

>And of course, this is only in terms of useful work, like video editing or gaming, and not for something like cryptocurrency mining, which has at best a marginal social utility, and whose cost in terms of energy usage in the aggregate far outstrips any practical benefit cryptocurrency has (unless you're really into criminal activity or need to launder some money).

>Regular old processors aren't immune either, with the current generation of Intel processors soaking up an extraordinary amount of energy. What you get for that energy draw is some incredible performance numbers, but for 97-98% of users, this kind of performance is absolutely unnecessary, even if users are using the appropriate processor for their needs.

>As hard as it may be to hear or accept, these three chipmakers must acknowledge that we don't have a performance problem, we have a sustainability problem. They should turn away from squeezing even more performance out of their hardware that we don't need, and give us the efficiency that is desperately needed, especially when these marginal increases in power are coming at far too high a cost.

>Some power users and enthusiasts might not like seeing decreasing power usage while maintaining roughly the same level of performance gen-on-gen, or slightly better performance but far less than with previous generations, but it's what needs to be done, and the sooner everyone acknowledges this and adapts, the better.

The issue isn't AMD vs Intel vs Nvidia. It's American chip makers vs foreign chip makers. This sort of narrative is almost certainly funded by China/Russia as a campaign to slow America's dominance of chips. Any sort of propaganda in the form of

Improving energy efficiency is closely related to improving performances.

There are already good lines of efficient CPU/GPUs.
Certainly some tryhard products like 4090 are overkill, but you can just like not buy them.

It's all about software.

CPUs get 10-20% faster every year, software gets 10-30% slower every year. Stop software from getting slower (Dont even need to improve the very slow software we use today) and we can reduce the energy used by computers by 80% in 10 years.

If we could make software just a little bit less bloated, say by 10% for 5 years, go back to 2019 levels of bloat... We could reduce power used by computers by 80% in just 7 years.

buying a new device also uses about as much energy as using the device will during it's current life-time. By stopping the slowdown, people can use the same device indefinitely until it's physically worn out, massively reducing "ewaste", emissions and energy used.

What the chipmakers do doesn't matter. What matters is what developers, especially OS, browser and social media does. Youtube is an example, they push new codecs to save a few cents in bandwidth, but they end up using 10x more power on devices that don't have hardware decoding, and end up being too slow. They should have to serve h264 or x265 in all resolutions to those that don't have hardware decode for newer codecs. What happens for a normie when their old phone or laptop gets 100% CPU load and is lagging on youtube? They will buy a new one.

Do you have central heating and climate control. Also, how much do you f'ing game to make such impact. All the energy that goes into a computer is in the end, turned to heat, reducing the workload of central heater.

People need to know that you don't need to undervolt to get lower power consumption. You may simply set a ceiling for your clock speed.

Turn your computer on and open task manager, if your computer is idle, the clock speed will usually be a ghz or two even if it's 6ghz capable.

I obviously disagree on discouraging experimentation and advancement on highly performant processors but I could agree that they should be niche and not as relevant and commercially available. I could agree that the performance is good enough now and we should optimize on using less materials and energy. However I think it's more of a software problem; developers are not incentivized to optimize programs for CPU/GPU power use. Also, video editing and gaming are more popular than ever, so the author ends up looking insane for that crypto comment. Maybe the performance is good enough for those tasks though. Maybe we need better codecs and games with less complex graphics instead of demanding we have a supercomputer in every household to be part of consoomer society.

This entire premise shows a lack of knowledge about a genuinely simple subject. Increasing performance and increasing efficiency are literally equivalent. Power consumption of new devices goes down for the same amount of compute regardless of whether there's hardware out there that has more compute as a whole. The actual issue here isn't that hardware is faster over time, the issue here is that software manufacturers keep coming up new slop that takes up more clock cycles. The onus for decreasing power consumption globally would be on software manufacturers, not the hardware manufacturers. Good fucking luck with that though, if anyone with power tried to tell them that they'd go ballistic, 'muh new features,' 'muh free market.'

looking more into solar heaters, they're made artificially cheaper by governments. That's not efficiency.

Computers require electricity, generating electricity causes emissions.
Of course, if these same hippie retards weren't so paranoid about nuclear power, it'd be a solved problem to begin with.

How?? Almost all the energy in my country is made with hydraulic force, I've never seen a single piece of carbon being burnt for that
>>
>just get a solar water heater bro
>just get a heat pump bro
>just ruin your standard of living bro
"No."
>>
>>100154470
Except that's not being better at managing energy. Natural gas is waste energy, a byproduct of pumping oil. We used to just vent it into the atmosphere. Selling it so people can heat their homes is efficient use of resources. Installing unreliable and expensive solar heating is not.

That's the most retarded question I've heard in a while. It's not or-or, they ARE becoming more and more energy efficient, that's like a fucking primary factor driving their progress. They CANNOT progress without improving energy efficiency because it's their main bottleneck.

>>
>>100154546
The truest test of efficiency is what people do when they are not forced to by manipulations. Every single country that uses solar heaters forces the price of alternatives higher or steals money from the taxpayer to subsidize their preferred system. That's forcing the less efficient option on people.

there is one thing you american excel at: manipulating. just look at your own arguments in this conversation. you or some other anon was telling us how the chinese pollute a lot. now you are telling me that burning oil for electricity and heat is good because... it just is, ok?
fucking lol. you are brainwashed by jews and then you, as the good drone you are, try brainwashing and scamming other retards. kek, well done, faggot.

Intel Core i9 450W stock edition when? Mandatory 360/420 AIO. Maybe replace the EPS12V socket with another 12VHPWR?
>>
>>100154689
I missed the part where transportation and industry run off heated water. The fact remains that oil is needed for so many things and as a byproduct of oil drilling, natural gas is created... so we use that natural gas for other useful purposes instead of just flaring it off into the atmosphere while performing zero work. This is a good thing.

>Die shrink literally increases efficiency per transistor
i know but you know what's even more efficient than using an efficient transistor? not using that transistor at all
there's a lot of gains to be had in simplifying hardware
>>
>>100154689
Incidentally, China is the 5th largest natural gas importer and that's talking about a shit-tier country. Once they start being more developed they'll easily become the largest importer.
>>
>>100154790
No goalpost was moved. We were talking about efficiency. It's far more efficient to use waste energy to perform work than to simply burn it. That's 0% efficiency.
>>
>>100154837
>there's a lot of gains to be had in simplifying hardware
Yeah? Like what.
>>
>>100140305
TLDR
I'm all for more efficient hardware but that doesn't mean we need to put on shackles to achieve it. You want to reduce e-waste? Purge the bloat. Make an OS that can run on mid 2000s hardware easily, it'll run on modern hardware better than anything we have these days. Make websites load in an instant and take less than 10MB of RAM. If you don't then you'll only make life hell by loading the bloated software and web on dreadfully slow "green" hardware.

Wrong

Intel currently has 15 wafer fabrication facilities (fabs) in production across 10 locations worldwide [Intel manufacturing sites ON Intel exploreintel.com]. Here's a breakdown of the locations:

United States:
Aloha, Oregon
Hillsboro, Oregon (6 fabs)
Rio Rancho, New Mexico
Chandler, Arizona (4 fabs)
Santa Clara, California

Zhaoxin is a fabless semiconductor company. This means they design the chips (CPUs in their case) but rely on other companies to actually manufacture them.
>>
>>100155065
Does America really have zero chip fabrication for AMD?
>>
They don't want consumers getting AI capable GPUs
We plebs will get the lower tier chips that can only do videogames and web browsing
>>
>>100140305

The justification is gay, but I do think a focus on performance per watt would be good instead of juicing these chips harder and harder each new generation.

Yes they do, just a lot less. A laptop will go from using 5w to 30w CPU-decoding, the hardware needed for the extra bandwidth will probably be less than 1w.
They would also save money and energy by not having to store and transcode so many different formats.

You can just tell your operating system to use more of the RAM for vram on integrated graphics? Seriously?

I was tempted to buy an appleshit for its 128gb of unified memory so I could play with LLMs but if I can just change a simple configuration on an AMD laptop then that sounds cheaper. Am I missing something?

Probably if the developers tried.
Arm based socs are the future anyway, efficient risc processors will continue to advance whilst x86 stagnates.

we need to fight jeet bloatcode that wastes 90% of cycles just running in circles, that'd save alot of energy

>>100140305
Since we are getting to the point were efficiency is becoming a priority how about telling devs to stop bloating their code, also it is time to drop x86 in favor of risc-v.

This would be kinda pointless since there are tons of PCs lying on various scrap yards that can be restored to somewhat usable state. Needless to say that a lot of people have a few of those lying around in their basements. This is an issue for da jooz that simply cant be fixed. Not to mention that you will most likely be able to buy modern PC/SBC the same way you buy questionable goods currently.
>>
>>100140305
No, fuck word, fuck sustainability, fuck green, fuck efficiency
>>
>>100140305
But GPUs and powerful hardware only consumes lots of power when under load, so if you buy an RTX 4090 and the latest Ryzen just to check your emails and Facebook, you won't consume much more energy than an average PC.
>Regular old processors aren't immune either, with the current generation of Intel processors soaking up an extraordinary amount of energy
Because Intel is desperate to catch up to AMD. Blame them.

Your country is an oddity. Very few countries have majority renewables or hydro. Even hydro has its issues, the flooding of large areas of vegetation causes anaerobic decomposition of the plant matter, which releases methane, but it’s not a direct result of power generation and stops after a while.

Even then, countries that are primarily hydro or similar still have at least a few coal or gas powered plants for peak demand, or because the transmission infrastructure isn’t up to moving enough energy to power their capital from hydro dams or similar. The country I live in is also like 97% hydro, but the capital city has 3 or so gas and coal plants because they’re about as far from the hydro dams as you can get and have the largest population. There’s also an aluminium foundry that has its own dedicated coal power plant cause it sucks up too much power
