It's a serious charge, and one the industry has largely avoided engaging with directly.
Shifting gears, Nvidia's upcoming N-one and N-one-X system-on-chip specs have leaked ahead of Computex, and the numbers are striking. The top-end N-one-X reportedly pairs twenty Arm-based CPU cores with sixty-one hundred forty-four CUDA cores, matching the desktop RTX five-thousand seventy.
