A FULL PRICE-TO-TOPS VALUE TABLE for all major AI hardware

Recently I was doing some research on various hardware available in all segments. I did not expect below results. The surprising thing was the amount of options available and the various price points for that. Anybody looking into AI will definitely find this helpful. Global MSRP (approx.) Converted to Indian Rupees (₹) using a neutral rate: $1 = ₹85 Computing ₹ per TOPS so you can instantly see value-for-money. ⚠️ Prices vary, but this gives clear comparative value. ________________________________ 🔥 PRICE PER TOPS (₹ per TOPS) Sorted from BEST value → WORST value ________________________________ 🟩 1. Desktop GPUs (Best Value in the Consumer Market) Hardware TOPS Approx Price ₹ Price ₹ per TOPS RTX 4090 1500 $1599 ₹1,36,000 ₹90 per TOPS RTX 4080 Super 780 $999 ₹85,000 ₹109 per TOPS RTX 4070 Ti Super 450 $799 ₹68,000 ₹151 per TOPS RTX 4060 Ti 353 $399 ₹34,000 ₹96 per TOPS AMD RX 7900 XTX 300 $999 ₹85,000 ₹283 per TOPS ➡ Winner: RTX 4090 ...

It's not perfect - for example it almost always messes up lambda functions but that 30% of problematic work one can fix. Meanwhile using other AIs also provide different different outcomes. So turns out the training data and usage matters a lot. Anyway I think human intuition and other hard won skills still matter and when AI screws anything then knowing the nitty-gritty of things really comes handy. But yeah it's going to mess with people's learning habits and probably going to make more scatter-brained people. Learning is a hard process and the inception of knowledge is a difficult thing. Looking around we already find so many idiots with dirt for brains, I think for disciplines like engineering where really complex knowledge needs to be ingested, AI is going to probably tip over people into un-lear...

Office laptop fan failed

So apparently this is a thing with Lenovo T14 laptops. The fan starts making high pitched whiny noise and becomes useless. https://www.reddit.com/r/Lenovo/comments/1lnbmir/my_lenovo_thinkpad_t14_gen_1_fan_started_making/ Going to have to go to office and get it fixed.
