The PC market has shrunk 80-90% in one year.
Even before that the GPU market was overvalued thanks to unusually high demand from COVID and unusually high demand from crypto mining the decade before.
Even consoles are reaching the $1000 mark soon.
The death of the PC market will greatly affect the next 50 years of computing worldwide. Corporations have successfully been pushing for a computer market where we rent computing power online and never own anything.
CATL claims an energy density near Li-ion with a definite advantage on cold and hot weather environments, no thermal runaway and 10,000 cycles. Also, it’s supposed to cost less because materials are much cheaper.
175Wh/kg very
CATL announced a sodium + lithium battery configuration as part of their future plans.
I wrote it on other comments. I’m not here to summarize the internet for you.
add significant weight to cars
I think Americans liking giant cars are a bigger issue with that than the weight of the batteries themselves.
CATL claim 10,000 cycles for their sodium battery which is way more than your article. Is selectscience.net a trusted source? CATL at least makes batteries in the real world but the burden of proof is on them this year.
Sodium is better in the more important ways than lithium.
CATL is one of the biggest if not the biggest battery manufacturers in the world. They sell batteries to other carmaker.
They’re due to release the first sodium ion BEV this year. I think they were building up the manufacturing capacity for that type of battery.
America is falling behind hand over foot!
I was forced to bring in the imperial system back with its idiotic arbitrary measures of feets, yards, miles, pints and ounces.
CATL sodium ion doesn’t have less energy density than LPF batteries.
It also works well at higher and lower temperatures than all lithium ion batteries. Charges faster. Safer than the safest LPF batteries. Materials are also abundant and inexpensive everywhere in the world.
LPF is the safest lithium ion battery but still less safe, less performant and more expensive than CATL’s sodium-ion battery.
CATL has a sodium ion battery car coming out this year. Literally zero risk of thermal runaway, more resilient in extreme high and low temperatures and many more life cycles than lithium ion at a lower cost.
America is falling behind in every possible metric.
BEVs and energy storage needs to move on to safer battery systems. Lithium batteries have killed a lot of people already.
So you’re the white knight of ageism? Congrats.
lol some people are so dense that every joke goes over their head. I never claimed to be smarter.
I just claimed that the kids are dumb as rocks because they have cellphone brainrot thanks to their shit parents giving them phones and letting them have access to social media.
Tell me where I made a false statement.
Are you one of those dumb as rocks young people I mentioned earlier?
Put your phone away! Listen to your elders!
The adults already have a job. They’re fine.
The students can’t even read anymore because they’re dumb as rocks.
It’s not about role modeling. It’s about learning and attention spans.
Step by step is the typical weak Democrat policy. They make tiny incremental changes that are so small that nobody will ever notice. The Democratic party needs to pass legislation that is not afraid of making changes because big changes are needed desperately.
Not just GPUs. This time is RAM and storage are also massively inflated because they’re allocated for a product that nobody really wants and nobody wants to pay for.
