Thank You Wtallis. Somewhere along the line, this basic "knowledge" of hardware is completely lost. I dont expect this to be explained in any comment section on old Anandtech. It seems hardware enthusiast has mostly disappeared, I guess that is also why Anandtech closed. We now live in a world where most site are just BS rumours.



Qualcomm made an AI inferencing card with 128GB RAM without using HBM:

Would someone with “basic ‘knowledge’ of hardware” explain why a GPU cannot be made with the same memory configuration?


That's because Anand Lal Shimpi is a CompE by training.

Not too many hardware enthusiast site editors have that academic background.

And while fervor can sometimes substitute for education... probably not in microprocessor / system design.


The Real World Technologies forum is still an absolute gold mine for hardware discussion.

As for articles, IMO, Chips and Cheese is the closest thing we have to Anandtech or RWT in their peak.
