I can't believe how negatively everyone is viewing SemiAccurate... as a chip designer and very involved in the business of the industry, SemiAccurate is one of the best news sources I've got. Everyone in the industry shits on NVIDIA's process because they have time and time again lied about benchmarks, tapeout dates, et cetera.

I only use NVIDIA GPUs, and think that most of the time they are decent products (except their Linux driver support), but I take every statement from Jen-Hsun with a HUGE grain of salt, and wait until I talk to a friend at NVIDIA, which almost always states the teams displeasure at Jen-Hsun bullshitting.

Nvidia earns a lot of flak, and SemiA might be a great site overall. But, the only times I see SemiA linked is when Charlie has written an article that gives the distinct impression that at some point Nvidia ran over his dog. That is my entire experience with the site over many years.

The only thing worse than NVIDIA's linux support is AMD's and Intel's. Then again, the issue I had that made me switch to NVIDIA was multimonitor support, which is probably not an issue to the vast majority of people.

One might say this site is only semi accurate
