Wait, the Q4 quantization which is more than 20GB fits in your 16GB GPU ? I didn't know that was possible, I was always restricting myself to smaller model than the VRAM I had

I have thrown people under the bus while under pressure from my manager to explain why reviewing a Pull Request takes me several hours or days while other members did it in a few minutes. It was the wrong thing to do but the pressure was unbearable.

Yes, and don't forget to shutdown Discord too! They will never be able to use another tool to organize these raids, this is genius. (this is sarcasm, of course)

But do you need sugar? Or you don't need either sugar nor carbs? It seems strange to me. EDIT: it seems that if you use only your fat, you'll end up producing too much Ketones which leads to Ketoacidosis. Doesn't sound good.

Thanks for the apology, but you got me quite irritated with your first comment. It was like saying to a paraplegic in a wheelchair to man up and hit the gym because there is only so much you can do with a wheelchair... Dreadful.

Honestly, if all car today and in the last 70 years had huge lead batteries, I don't think it would be a good thing. Battery recycling is a fair problem for today's electric cars and people at the time used to throw away anywhere what they didn't need any more, including their car batteries.

Xian can experience heavy pollution in winter, with much of the city’s heating relying on coal.

Have they tried to filter directly the air at the source of pollution? For instance, placing filters on the coal heating facilities. It should be more efficient, as you wouldn't release as many particles in the air in the first place.

For the Model 3, the only true competitors are the i3 and Chevy Bolt

More like the Chevy Bolt / Opel Ampera e, the i3 has very limited range while the Chevy/Opel offers between 300 and 500km of range thanks to its much bigger 60kWh battery. The BMW i3 only has a 33kWh battery in the newer version, previous one was even less than that... The Leaf 2018 goes in the right direction, but 40kWh is still no enough to do 3h+ road trips.

Also, you make a very good point by saying that the Chevy Bolt/Opel Ampera E is a much better choice (ignoring the design). Same pricing as the Model 3 but the range seems much better. Given the experience of Chevy, I think that they can reduce the price and mass produce the Bolt much faster than Tesla can do with the model 3.

Sure, but as you say yourself, the 8180 isn't the same budget at all, so I excluded it from your price comparison. Also, it's not a competitor to the 1950x. I guess in the end it all depends on what you need to do. Your need seems to be maximum performance, why go for the best "compromise" CPU and then criticize their choice? Clearly you should go for either of the 3 recommended CPU for performance. (which are also better for PCIe lanes and memory, but have a poor performance price ratio).

Nice one, you compare second hand prices to brand new prices. Anandtech's goal is to guide you in the chip market buying it brand new, not hunting it on ebay. Also, what they say with the 1950x being the best compromise between number of PCIe lanes, processing power, maximum memory etc. If you didn't notive, performance is not their only criteria.

Basically, IPC in an Intel core is a bit better than in an AMD core. Keeping this in mind, you can compare core counts, frequency, power draw, PCIe lines or whatever floats your boat.

To compensate for a lower IPC, AMD will give you more cores (sometimes a lot) for the same price.

It all depends of what you need your processing power for.
