We now know Ryzen 9 7950X performance and it's pretty good:
There's a substantial improvement over 5950X and for $100 less, after 2 years. I think it's a decent CPU for both entertainment and work.

Next gen VR is going to be nuts never mind the gaming graphics!
Without DLSS 3.0 (upscaling + interpolation), even the 4090 struggles with heavier ray-tracing or with 8K without ray-tracing.

Samsung DRAM roadmap:
Capacity per die will double in 6 years and speed will double in 5. Perhaps we can expect (slightly) faster progress in GPU memory (HBM4, GDDR7). Moore's Law has slowed down since 2011. There's no new paradigm.

*after heavy overclock, which doesn't translate linearly to gaming performance and increases wattage by a lot
power efficiency sweet spot is 50-60% of 4090's power limit

The RTX 4080 12GB is a fantastic graphics card, but it’s not named right. Having two GPUs with the 4080 designation is confusing.
So, we’re pressing the “unlaunch” button on the 4080 12GB. The RTX 4080 16GB is amazing and on track to delight gamers everywhere on November 16th.
If the lines around the block and enthusiasm for the 4090 is any indication, the reception for the 4080 will be awesome.
Good move.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia in 2023 released "World's First 100 Teraflops GPU" named Titan Ada, with 100 tflops and 48 GB of VRAM for $2999. It would be great for AI (for gaming too). That seems like something they would do. Its power draw would be really high (without undervolting and reducing the power limit) and the size would be large as well.

MediaTek showed their newest SoC - Dimensity 9200. It is better than the previous one (Dimensity 9000) and you can read all about it here. It is again on TSMC's 4nm production process, but uses newer architecture on 17 billion transistors.
