Reviews / Asus ROG Azoth 96 HE review: A...
Last post by Redaktion - Today at 04:39:55
The Asus ROG Azoth 96 HE combines a compact 96% layout with an OLED display, a multifunction knob, and high-precision adjustable switches - ideal for demanding gamers and frequent typists. In our review, we take a closer look at how the premium keyboard performs in everyday use, where the Gear Link software still falls short, and whether the high price is justified.

Quote from: 48 and 64 GB RAM nice on Yesterday at 19:39:1148 GB RAM fits and runs LLMs like GLM-4.7-Flash at solid q8 quant (32 GB) (or Gpt-Oss-20B (14 GB), but this would also fit within 32 GB RAM).
Unfortunately 64 GB RAM won't fit Gpt-Oss-120B even the smallest quant (62.6 GB), but 96 GB RAM would fit it easily with a lot (or even full) of context (go to huggingface.co/spaces/oobabooga/accurate-gguf-vram-calculator, paste huggingface.co/unsloth/gpt-oss-120b-GGUF/blob/main/gpt-oss-120b-F16.gguf into the calculator and set context to full).

Well, you will run LLM on NPU. Not iGPU lmao. I bought laptop with Ryzen AI 350 and normal SO-DIMM, upgraded to 64GB and I can now use NPU with 32GB. It's faster, than iGPU, but you must use models optimized for it. Right now I'm playing with converting qwen3 coder to onnx, int8 or int4 (NPU has int8 HW optimization).

Quote from: Me facts on Yesterday at 23:38:39So just a different version of dark and darker.

Similar idea, but Eldegarde looks to be more like an MMO with a stronger PvE side (especially now that it has a PvE-only mode). It doesn't look to be as hardcore PvP-driven as Dark and Darker though, at least to me.

Wait, does Waymo have safety monitors? Or are they not an "autonomous vehicle company?"

Nintendo cut too many corners with the Switch 2 design.  Not least of which was failing to fix the joycon drift design flaw.  If they don't have to worry about magnetic connections, they should fix it with the lite model.

Last post by Redaktion - Today at 01:28:27
With a financial analyst projecting stellar Q3 PS5 sales, Sony may not rush to ship new hardware. Console and software revenue suggest that gamers are content with the current generation. The company could choose to push back the PS6 release window to avoid exorbitant memory prices.

these systems only make sense if your main use case is running llms Large enough to need more memory than you can reasonably get things like Nvidia graphics cards at a reasonable price, size, noise level, etc.. And if you wouldn't mind having you wouldn't mind having some gaming options for your down time along the way as a distant second requirement.

if you're that guy, and I happen to be that guy, systems like this are a no-brainer.

if you're not that guy, these are really probably not for you. I'm sure there are marketing reasons why they trumpet the gaming capability of a system like this, and there is an achievement there, it's surprisingly good at those things for what it is, but not good enough to be worth buying.

I have the HP workstation version of this thing + it really is spot on what I wanted. if I want a game with my kid occasionally I can, if I want to build an AI system with a bunch of different llms are running for different use cases as potentially at the same time so as to enable an agent to do some stuff, it can do that for me quite well, assuming I can actually get the damn things working, but that's my techno clumsiness at work. I'm a product manager trying to learn how to build these systems because eventually I'll have to deal with this at work. I could Even conceive of putting something commercially useful into production on this little box, as a side hustle.

but I wouldn't recommend it for most people who have other tiny PCS of various sorts as options in the market, or who want better gaming than a system like this can deliver. deliver. it's too expensive compared to most other small PCS and not good enough at gaming compared to most true gaming PCS. I'm actually trying to understand why so many companies have brought versions of this to market, it doesn't feel like the demand should be there. I'm not complaining, like I said for me it was a case of shut up and take my money, but I know that it occupies an awkward middle ground.

also I do wish it had rather more memory bandwidth and I think I would have preferred the future proofing of one PCI Express slot. MSI has a version of the machine with that. + if I didn't want the HP, on-site support, etc, that might have been a preferred configuration versus what I bought or versus what this review covers. I reckon if I get desperate I can use the USB 4 to interface to an external graphics card or other peripherals. but it would have been nicer if they could have fit inside the case.
