Nvidia’s idea with CMP HX mining graphics cards failed. Users have lost interest in them
Nvidia introduced the CMP HX mining graphics cards last year and at the time it seemed that they could really save the day and somehow eliminate (at least partially) the shortage that had developed in the market. However, in reality, everything is not so rosy: the shortage of video cards on the market has remained the same, but interest in CMP HX has fallen. In the last quarter of fiscal year 2022, CMP HX sales in value terms have more than quadrupled.
If in the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, Nvidia’s revenue from the sale of mining video cards amounted to $105 million, then in the fourth quarter it was only $24 million! During the year, the company sold $544 million of these 3D accelerators, and the second quarter was the best, during which CMP HX was sold for $260 million.
Why CMP HX turned out to be so unclaimed now is not difficult to understand: the rate of cryptocurrencies has noticeably decreased – the profits of the miners are no longer the same. Entering a business against the backdrop of the current Ethereum quotes and the transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake consensus looming on the horizon is risky. In addition, CMP HX turned out to be specific devices – with a small warranty and no video outputs. In which case it will be at least difficult to resell such video cards.

Intel wants a “five-year plan” in a year? Next year the company will have three lines of desktop processors at once, as Meteor Lake-S will still be released
Intel seems to have decided to exceed the plan not only in terms of technical processes, but also in terms of CPU lines. It turns out that Meteor Lake-S desktop processors will still be released.
Michelle Johnston Holthaus, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the client computing group, spoke about this. The PC World journalist, apparently not expecting an affirmative answer to his question regarding the fate of Meteor Lake-S, even asked again, and again received an affirmative answer.
So, tabletop Meteor Lake will still be released, and will be released next year. But now it’s not very clear how Intel is going to launch three lines at once within one year. Let us remind you that Raptor Lake Refresh will be released in October, and Arrow Lake is also expected next year. And if previously it was believed that the latter would simply replace the former, now another line is being added to them.
Perhaps Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake will coexist in the same way as in the mobile segment: Intel said that the former will occupy the mid-price segment, and the latter will be available in the upper price segment. And if these lines are released on desktop at the end of 2024, then they will together replace Raptor Lake Refresh. However, such a division will still be unusual, and Intel itself promised to release ARROW Lake much earlier than at the end of next year.

The Huawei Kirin 9000s platform is truly unique. It has a 12-core processor, although it’s far from record-breaking performance.
The Kirin 9000s platform continues to bring surprises, although smartphones based on it have been on sale for some time.
After the latest Huawei flagships received HarmonyOS 4.0.0.116, Geekbench software began to define the characteristics of the new SoC differently. If earlier it was seen as an eight-core solution, now the number of processor cores is indicated as 12.
It’s worth remembering here that AnTuTu initially determined that the platform had exactly 12 cores, however, including two Cortex-A34.
Geekbench, well, indicates the types of cores, but talks about three clusters: four cores with a frequency of 1.53 GHz, two with a frequency of 2.62 GHz and six with a frequency of 2.15 GHz. This information is confirmed by screenshots from the mobile version of the benchmark.
We have not yet seen mobile SoCs with 12-core CPUs. At the same time, the performance of the Kirin 9000s, despite this configuration, is far from flagship by 2023 standards, that is, the cores themselves are not the most powerful.
