That this comes from the Saudi Royal Family is especially rich because of the amount of plain-ol' sycophancy around Neom.

Is it going to be a bunch of ArmV8 cores shoved into the same package? Probably going to be a bunch of ArmV8 cores shoved into the same package. You know, for AI.

I find it very unsatisfactory to sneer at skeets from the above author. It's just junkfood at this point and not like good junkfood, just like stale off-brand popcorn in a bag that has a picture of a sad clown on it. Why is the clown sad? Because the clown has to constantly look at different variations on the same theme written by people whose brains are melted by LinkedIn.

Man, if only I had enough optimism left to aspire to that level of silliness, as opposed to be sliding further and further in to the maw of computer stupidity.

I was trying to put this into perspective by comparing this to the flow rate of the Des Plaines river. At the high end, 8 million gallons a day is something like 12.4 cubic feet per second constantly. Currently the Des Plaines has a discharge rate of 86-87 cubic feet per second, so a bit above 14% of the Des Plaines per data center.
