It's how every manufacturer starts, though. Sell at a loss until you can achieve the volume you need to bring costs down. "strong growth in EV deliveries as losses narrow" means this is exactly what's happening.

Nobody's going to buy your first car for 100 million dollars so that you can be profitable from day 1.

"How did the world end, Grandpa?"

"Well, it all started with this fucking gorilla."

I mean, he's also legally obligated not to rape people but that doesn't seem to bother him.

Now do Amazon. Are warehouse workers allowed to pee yet?

It generates an answer that looks correct. Actual correctness is accidental. That's how you wind up with documents with references that don't exist, it just knows what references look like.

Is the D15 putting out hot air?

If the air coming out is really hot, it's a fan/airflow issue.

If it's just warmish, it's a problem transferring heat from the CPU into the cooler's fins. Could be the contact or bad heat pipes.

against two weaker GPUs (the 3060 and 2060 Super) where the new card would be sure to win.

IIRC they also insisted multi-frame generation be used, which the 3060 and 2060 Super don't support. That's why the 4060 isn't allowed, it does support MFG and it'd sink the plan to inflate 5060 benchmark results with fake frames.

The specific games using specific settings at 1080p bit is because in 2025 they have to carefully choose scenarios that won't overflow the tiny VRAM of the cards and tank performance to below the level of the 3060 12GB.

Shout out to Hardware Unboxed for getting a 5060 review done at Computex with some amazing B-roll

Mine got upgraded to a full meg.

If you have an 8GB GPU that's a few years old, it's probably doing okay-ish. It probably doesn't have the performance to really suffer from VRAM limits and you don't game with things like raytracing or ultra detail settings turned on because the GPU isn't fast enough for those things anyway.

My Vega 64 had 8GB VRAM and that was fine.

If you buy one of the new GPUs with 8GB though, the VRAM is a huge problem. You have the GPU power to have all the features turned on, but you're going to see real performance crippled because it overflows VRAM.

Longevity is the other issue - when games released in 2025 run like ass on your 8GB GPU from 2017, you won't be surprised. Bad performance from an 8GB GPU that released in 2025 for $500, that's a problem.

I'm seeing games today regularly hitting 11 GB, and that's without raytracing or frame generation which require more VRAM.

The new 8GB GPU Nvidia just launched is a trap. It exists to trick people into buying a GPU that they'll need to upgrade next year.
