I thought it was mostly component issues. Like, Intel has fabs in the US… but all the other stuff, all the components, probably even the silicon ingots wafers are cut from are made where they’re cheap to make, where all the integrators, all the board makers are… Asia…

It does and it doesn’t. Most wired ethernet isn’t on shared media, so it doesn’t need/use csma/cd… But wireless is based on ethernet and uses csma/cd (wifi) presumably

Try memory tests?

A container then?

AVX-512 still disabled though?

For 3d rendering it would be quite the ask to expect M3 max to beat a 4090 imo…

I mean, you could put a 4090 in, what, a 96 core threadripper? An epyc with 192 cores? ~16 ram channels?

It’s the combination of a lot of things, even on the software end.
