Q & A

What is Nvidia's new RTX Remix software?

RTX Remix is a free modding platform from Nvidia that allows modders to easily remaster old DirectX 8 and 9 games by adding ray tracing, DLSS and more.

Why is Nvidia releasing the RTX Remix software?

Nvidia is releasing RTX Remix to allow modders to upgrade old games to take advantage of Nvidia's latest GPU technology like ray tracing and DLSS. This helps drive demand for Nvidia's RTX GPUs.

What are the Frankenstein Nvidia GPUs being sold out of China?

These are mobile Nvidia GPUs mounted on desktop PCBs with fans added. They are not officially supported by Nvidia and come with issues like lack of proper drivers.

Why doesn't AMD clearly indicate which CPUs use hybrid Zen4 and Zen4c cores?

AMD has not been clear in their marketing about which Ryzen 8000 mobile and desktop APUs use a mix of Zen4 and Zen4c cores. You have to check detailed specs to see this.

Why is Intel dropping hyperthreading support in future CPUs?

With the move to hybrid core architectures, hyperthreading causes scheduling issues. Intel has developed a new scheme called rentable units to better utilize the mix of high performance and efficiency cores.

How does Intel's rentable units scheduling approach work?

Rentable units splits tasks and assigns them to the best suited core - bigger tasks go to performance cores and smaller tasks to efficiency cores. This aims to better utilize the heterogenous cores.

What is Type AI and what does it do?

Type AI is a keyboard extension app powered by GPT-3 AI. It can finish sentences, rewrite text, generate replies, and translate right within your keyboard.

Why does simultaneous multithreading provide a performance boost?

SMT boosts performance by filling in the idle time between tasks on a core by scheduling another thread, essentially doubling the throughput.

What are some of the downsides of SMT?

SMT can introduce scheduling headaches and instability in some cases. Performance gains are also highly dependent on the workload not saturating the cores.

Will AMD also move away from SMT with future CPUs?

Since AMD is adopting hybrid core designs similar to Intel's, it's likely they will develop their own optimized scheduling approach and move away from SMT.

today old games are about to get way

better new Frankenstein Nvidia gpus Andy

kept their word and say goodbye to

multithreading and

CPUs welcome everyone to gamer M first

up for today Nidia just released their

RTX remix software in open beta for

those who don't know RTX remix is a free

modding platform that allows modders to

easily remaster select DX8 and dx9 games

by adding things like R tracing dlss and

more and it's now officially an open

beta on nvidia's website for every

modder to try out Nvidia actually

announced this a little while back and

while they've done some work with it

this is a pretty big day some of your

favorite old games could soon be getting

a fresh new coat of paint not only that

but it's obviously a 4D chess move by

Nvidia because it would allow modders to

remake their favorite games and let

Gamers play those games if you have

nvidia's Hardware so it's definitely not

a bad move for them and it will be

interesting to see what kind of games

that come out of this time will tell if

it ends up being a really big

thing next up for today new Frankenstein

Nvidia gpus are being sold but before I

get to that it finally happened the

power of AI is not just been brought to

your phone but to your keyboard it's

called type Ai and while they sponsored

today's video I flat have to say that

it's a game changer powered by chat gpts

API type AI is a keyboard extension app

that lives in your keyboard which means

it can do things like take whatever

you're writing and finish it for you

don't like how something sounds you can

have type AI completely changed the tone

and I really love this one it can

generate automatic replies for messages

or emails and what's Wild is that it can

look at the context and send a very real

and genuine reply want to sound

professional in a business email type AI

has you covered it can even translate

your text right in the keyboard and the

best part is that you don't have to copy

and paste it just apply it directly to

whatever you're doing and it works

seamlessly in all your apps so what are

you waiting for click the link in the

description below to get a free trol of

type AI premium today once again click

that link in the description to make

your life easier today now back to the

story some new gpus have been coming out

of China that are really weird basically

companies have begun taking mobile gpus

thr them on pcbs putting some fans over

it and marketing them as desktop cards

as you can see there are numerous

listings for 408m of 409m Etc and this

obviously comes with some major issues

like driver support the fact that their

mobile cards max out at 175 Watts

potential warranty concerns and the list

goes on don't get me wrong the cards can

be a little cheaper than typical desktop

gpus they nothing huge really the 490 is

actually more expensive than the regular

490 the simple fact is that these aren't

official in any way Nvidia doesn't

endorse them or anything like that but

they are still getting the cards somehow

and surprisingly Nvidia hasn't done

anything about them yet but ultimately

I'd say to approach these with caution

and probably just stay clear of them all

together next up AMD actually kept their

word well sort of if you've been

following the channel you know that when

AMD announced their ryzen 8040 mobile

processors as well as their 8000g series

apus they announced a few hybrid core

Parts meaning they come with both Zen 4

and Zen 4C cores the issue was that in

neither of those press releases did they

give us clock speeds on the little Zen

4C cores instead just showing the Boost

clock of the Zen 4 cores they're also

not very clear in most of their

documentation that any of the processors

have hybrid cores these are the 8540 U

and 8440 U on notebooks and the 8500g

and 8300 G for their desktop apus what's

Wild is that even when you go to their

spec page it doesn't make this clear you

literally have to click see full

specifications to actually see the

different cores but as you can see here

it still didn't give the clocks for the

little cores it was just the base and

boost of the big cores luckily about a

month ago AMD promised to add those

clocks in and as you can see right here

they have though as far as I can see no

one's pointed out that they still don't

show zen4 C clocks on the Z1 ship so AMD

get to it and that's also not the only

issue while AMD did add the clocks they

still don't show any of that on the

Chip's main spec page you have to click

C full specifications to even know that

it comes with Zen 4C cores and because

amd's little cores still have

multi-threading it's really tough to see

if there is little cores so yeah I still

think AMD has more work to do but in the

meantime we do have the core clocks for

their 8000g desktop apus specifically

the 8300 G comes with the Zen 4C base

clock of 3.2 GHz and a Max boost of 3.6

GHz and the 8500g comes with the same

base clock but 3.7 GHz boost ultimately

it's great that AMD finally added this

but I definitely think there's more work

for them to

do and lastly for today it's time to say

goodbye to multi-threading in CPUs

that's right a feature in Hardware

that's over two decades old is on its

way out this story originally comes from

a new report by Tech PowerUp who noticed

in a recently leaked document for

Intel's 15 gen aerrow L that it didn't

include hyperthreading which is Intel's

branding for their multi-threading and

this was actually rumored months ago so

it's really looking true now you might

scratching your head is to why while

simultaneous multi-threading or smt has

introduced some major headaches for both

AMD and Intel and bring some pretty

decent performance to heavily threaded

workloads well the reason actually boils

down Intel's hybrid core architecture

see in multi-threading the CPU cores are

split up into two logical cores and your

PC can't tell the difference between the

real and logical core the reason for

this is because different tasks take

different amounts of time to complete so

there is a lot of downtime for CPU cores

while waiting for other cores to finish

as you can see in this great analogy

before smt you had one funnel pushing

task to each core but there's some time

between each task with multi-threading

each core is still doing one task at a

time but it adds a second funnel to fill

the time between the two task of the

first effectively making double the

performance but that never happens

perfectly like that because it only

works if there's enough downtime to do

the new thread's task and if the

completion time of the new thread

perfectly matches that downtime which

obviously never happens but you do get

more performance in comes hybrid core

architecture that makes this way more

complicated now you have one core that's

way more powerful than the other so

Intel has designed a solution and they

already have a patent on it it's called

rentable units and it basically takes a

task and splits it into two then hands

those new tasks to the best core for the

job meaning the bigger task goes to the

performance core with the smaller Tas to

the efficiency core and the goal is to

try and time it so they finish as close

to the same time as possible basically

this is a very interesting new take on

the utilization problem with multicore

processing and given AMD looks to be

moving to hybrid cores as well we can

assume they plan to do a similar version

of this which means multi-threading in

CPUs is reaching its end so while that

does it for today what do you think

about the end of multi-threading let me

know down in the comments below and

don't forget to download type aai and

save some money down in the description
