I grew up in Olympia WA, with family in both Seattle and Portland, the family reunions were epic during the NBA seasons!
You own nothing and you will be happy
There's two completely different sorts of reviews. Steve, GN et al, are producing "what X is best""where does X rank". That's useful for future proofing, because maybe you have a 1080ti and a 3000 series ryzen chip, so you want a GPU, and it's nice to know if you get X GPU, you can upgrade to a faster CPU and get Y performance.
Your 4060 review, and others, are a completely different kind of video, with a completely different goal, because it shows, concretely, what you're going to get out of that exact hardware right now. If you have similar hardware, your video is more useful immediately.
Realistically, the "perfect" review, would be what GN is doing, along with what you did. Show the bottlenecks, show how to improve them. The issue is, well congrats, your review is now like 2 hours long and your watch time is around 35 minutes, aka you're pissing away hours of your time for, well, the same ad revenue.
So the most tenable solution to the perception that Jeff and Steve are somehow at odds with eachother (which is not the case, certainly), both of you should probably lean into these ideas harder, explain why you're doing it, explain what they're good for. That'll probably keep the normies from REEEEEing too hard in your comments section.
Though, well, I mean, people REEEing in the comments section, well, it helps the video so… hurray crooked incentives right? lol
I'm very excited to know that Qualcomm may introduce the deskop market. We need the competition as it drives everything upward (performances, price etc). And maybe why not a RISC V desktop ! I'm already on linux so the hardwork of letting out windows is done.
The talk about NVIDIA sidelining the gaming market is kinda weird, considering they are the dominant player in a profitable X billion dollar market. AI/datacenter might be leading right now but a CEO willingly giving up a multi billion business is not a CEO after the next board meeting. Specially when any research to AI tech is relevant to both markets.
I hav3 walked away from great software that went to subscription only.
There are always alternatives.
Prepare for war on indie developers and open source!
Disney+ is not ANYWHERE near profitable. They are losing billions per year
I lived for a while in an area with no OTA channel access, so cable was the only option. Even barebones basic cable kept getting so ridiculous I paid for various streamed services, and just as you saw they all went up so much I eventually just said 'fuck it' and watched the local news directly on the station websites. Even my cable internet today ahs skyrocketed, from $90 to $140 in just a couple years. I'd switch to AT&T but I have plenty of reasons for never doing business with them ever again. Google has been in my city for years but never expanded outside of a very small and wealthy few neighborhoods.
Respectfully, I prefer both GN and HUB's way of doing things… Doesn't mean yours is wrong or unnecessary. This is not a "stay in your lane" comment. But it is not the analysis I am looking for.
Seeing your 4070 super video makes me wonder about upgrading my 1080 TI. Poor thing is overheating on Stable Diffusion, despite reapplying thermal paste.
Also GO LIONS!

Sure are proud of that shithole called oregon…
I refuse to give any 'something-as-a-service' tech company a penny of my money. If I had a disk in 1999, I want a disk in 2024. What I DON'T want is for tech companies to have any more power over my life, like the ability to delete my Ubisoft collection because I said 'i don't think Israel should be committing genocide' or something.
People gush over Gamepass but when Ubisoft says the same thing everyone gets upset.
Regarding VMWare well, I guess Open Source will wins in the end
You could just setup a gpu cluster and rent the gpu power for compute and you'd get extra $ out of it
Jokes on them, I'm used to not buying
Cyber punk makes for better comics than it does a reality.
“Temporarily hold onto this beer for a fixed period but do not drink it, the licensing fee does not provision you with consumption credentials and permissions” VMware
you will own nothing and be "happy".
If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing.
"if everything sucks, maybe you are the problem", welp, guess nvidia's gaslighting and amd's bandwagoning has worked.
Jeff, Geoff, please stop with all the, uhh, ummm, ahhh, the uhhh, the, eh, but uh, but, ummm, uhhh, I uh, ummm, uhhhh, like uhh, uhhh, ummmm, uhhh, ahhh, the A, so uhhh, and the uhhh, the out of the uhh, ummm, the printer.
So, as someone who grew up professionally in VMWare in a largish datacenter (20k-40k VMs), I can tell you that there ARE tools to help manage this, and I could likely get 80-90% (possibly 100% if there are no issues) of our hybrid cloud VMWare environment migrated by end of April. It would be quite hellish, but possible. The big catch would be if you had to do any procurement, since it's procurement at an enterprise scale that takes forever.
Hey I know this guy!! Great videos. Reminds me of some of your earlier stuff. Scrappy!!
To be fair I have no interest in owning anybting they make lol
