A benchmark comparison of Blender's CPU rendering performance from version 3.0 to 5.0 on a high-end AMD Ryzen Threadripper system shows largely flat performance with minor fluctuations, indicating limited evolution in CPU rendering speed over the past four years.
The article compares the performance of AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and 9950X3D CPUs on Windows 11 and various Linux distributions, highlighting ongoing improvements in Linux kernel and driver support, with tests conducted on identical hardware setups to evaluate 3D V-Cache performance across operating systems.
Tesla's board proposes a potentially historic trillion-dollar pay package for Elon Musk, contingent on achieving ambitious company growth and performance targets over the next decade, including Tesla reaching a $8.6 trillion valuation and delivering 20 million vehicles, with shareholder approval pending.
The article reviews the performance of Cronos: The New Dawn on high-end PC hardware, highlighting the impact of Ray Tracing and DLSS 4 features, with significant FPS improvements using DLSS 4 Frame Generation modes on an NVIDIA RTX 5090, and notes the game's demanding early scene and default use of Hardware Lumen for Ray Tracing.
The article provides performance benchmarks for the Commanders' rookies drafted on Day 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft. For offensive tackle Braeden Daniels, the expectations are low as offensive tackles picked this late in the draft rarely see significant playing time as rookies. If Daniels can rank in the top 64 NFL offensive tackles in blocking, he will have exceeded expectations. As for defensive end K.J. Henry, first-year starters are rare in the fifth round, but if he can get on the field for a significant number of snaps and sack one quarterback, he will have performed as well as the average edge rusher in his draft range. Running back Chris Rodriguez faces similar challenges, but if he can surpass Washington's third leading rusher's 2022 rushing total, he will have exceeded expectations. Lastly, seventh-round pick Andre Jones faces an uphill battle as very few seventh-round edge defenders become full-time starters, but he can look to Washington's James Smith-Williams as an example of a successful late-round pick.
