    That 24fps demo was done using quad Tesla V100 GPUs so around 60 TFLOPs of GPU performance. 
    And an additional 500 TFLOPS (mixed precision) from the 4x V100's Tensor cores.

  • 15-inch MacBook Pro refresh could have Intel's new six-core i9 processor

    The processors do not support LPDDR4 memory, sticking with the same LPDDR3 as found in the 2016 and 2017 MacBook Pro limiting RAM to 16GB. As a result, should Apple choose to bring 32GB of RAM to any new MacBook Pro, it would have to use DDR4 RAM, and implement a controller for it with both having large impacts on battery life.
    Looks like we'll have to wait for Cannon Lake / Ice Lake to get LPDDR4 support.

    We will still have people blaming Apple for not supporting > 16 GB RAM on the MBP. Yes, Apple could do it with a larger form factor/greatly reduced battery run time. If you really need that much RAM in a laptop, go get yourself something like an Alienware from Dell (prices start at $2300) which weighs 7.69 pounds and gets around 4 hours on battery.
    The XPS 15 is 4.5 lbs with a Core i9-8950HK, 32 GB DDR4 and a GTX 1050 TI 4 GB. It would also last a lot longer than 4 hours for regular use.

    Of course, if it can only run Windows or Linux, and a user needs to run macOS, then it's not really an option anyways.
