ah teh gaf, only a step away from the cesspool that is 4chan.

Why do you visit that place AB? :no:

Big community = good balance of neutral chat for all consoles, although more fanboys as well unfortunately, however lots of developers stop by to chat with everyone also, you don't get that many places.

And some of the stuff like the above actually makes me laugh :laugh:

Take the Demons Souls thread on NeoGAF for example, over 100 pages of people who like the game talking about it, on Neowin, I've probably posted about 65% of the posts in that 6 page topic or whatever it is.

Well it definitely has more PS3 activity than Neowin so I have no doubt there Demon Souls thread would be a lot bigger. Just like if I'm asking questions that go unanswered here I go straight to the GameFAQ boards.

I'm not allowed to be part of 2 communities? :rofl:

I registered on GAF in December 2008, only recently had my account approved. Account approval times are sloooooow.

Mystic is right though, the PS3 community on Neowin is pretty dead, more Xbox gamers here so when it comes to something like Demons Souls, which is a PS3 game AND an imported game, I ain't got much chance of discussion on here :p

You're always going to get a closer knitted community on a site like this though compared to GAF where there is literally "too many members". So Neowin > GAF, I ain't going anywhere!

I just registered on the site and have an account but you're saying I won't get approved for months? Are there only those three sections on the forum? I'm just wondering because everything seems so cluttered with that many members.

Well it's completely random, just depends on your luck. Registrations get hand approved every so often, there was an influx of new members just recently. Might only need to wait a week or two, might need to wait months.

Sections are

FAQ

Gaming Discussion -> Online Meetup

Offtopic Discussion

Forum Archive

Sales Archive

So yeah, one of the bad things about GAF, everything is just lumped in together.

I've played the Dark Corners deleted scene - both ways; stealth and guns blazing. Big let down - pretty dull only takes about 20 minutes each.

I've also done a couple of the Horde achievements already I can honestly say that I will not be purchasing this when it comes out on Tuesday, I am seriously disappointed with it. I'm very glad that my friend had a code for a review of it and we did split screen, I think that I will finish the rest of the Horde achievements on split screen once more people have the game next week and finally call it a day with this game!

Wow, all the content looks amazing and hearing that makes me cry. Maybe it's because of the price but all of it just looks beautiful and much more thought out. I don't really care for the Delete Scene but I do want the 7 new maps.

lol why would you need to purchase it when you already played it? It's worth the maps which I don't have. I'm getting it tonight! :D

^^ Yes.

I bought Dark Corners. I think about half of the multiplayer maps are rather bland and will probably never want to play again, but there's some good ones on there, too (Nowhere, Allfathers Garden, whatever map starts with an "M"). I actually really enjoyed the deleted scene, too. I have only played the guns a' blazin' style so far, though.

Sneak is very cool aswell. You can see the Locusts smell the air if you are near.

Yup sign ups are strict over there to just stop the constant flow of fanboys and trolls. Good luck keeping hold of your account for long too.

After 210 posts I got banned for saying some new game concept would need hd graphics :/

Now that is harsh!

You were right Munky! :(

    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.

      Regarding the AI photo, I LOVE AI in that regard, you ask it what you want and it gives you a lovey photo in under a minute, that would taken me an hour to make in photoshop and it wouldn't have looked nearly as good. 2 nights ago I spent a couple hours collaborating with AI.  I did not say write me an article. I would write one or 2  paragraphs, then I would ask it to clean it up so it read better but still keeps the information I was trying to convey.  Rinse repeat.
