Isn't the delta fed to an arithmetic coder?

Not as many as the ones that the US snatched in operation paperclip

I'd bet on the inverse: China scaling DRAM production until the price crashes, and the whole US stock market that is propped on top of that scarcity going down with it.

That's a genius idea, keep adding broken stuff into the standard until there's no choice but to break compatibility to fix it.

The 9800X3D has wider everything. Decoder, execution ports, vectors, cache, memory bandwidth...
