一 | Choice Hotels International is asking shareholders of rival chain Wyndham Hotels & Resorts to sign off on a buyout worth nearly $8 billion after Wyndham broke off negotiations, the company said Tuesday. “A few weeks ago, Choice and Wyndham were in a negotiable range on price and consideration, and both parties have a shared recognition of the value opportunity this potential transaction represents, said Choice CEO Patrick Pacious. ”We were therefore surprised and disappointed that Wyndham decided to disengage. While we would have preferred to continue discussions with Wyndham in private, following their unwillingness to proceed, we feel there is too much value for both companies’ franchisees, shareholders, associates, and guests to not continue pursuing this transaction."Wyndham did not immediately respond to a request for comment early Tuesday. Choice, based in Rockville, Maryland, is offering $49.50 in cash and 0.324 shares of Choice common stock for each Wyndham share they own, a 20% premium to Wyndham's last closing price. Choice's proposal allows Wyndham shareholders to choose either cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The proposal also includes giving Wyndham two seats on the combined company’s board. The deal has a total value of about $7.8 billion. When including debt, it's valued at approximately $9.8 billion. Choice first approached Wyndham in April, offering $80.00 per share, with 40% of that cash and 60% Choice stock, but was rejected, Choice said. It bumped the offer to $85 per share, then to $90 per share as the board chairs and CEOs of each company met. But, according to Choice, Wyndham voiced concerns about regulatory approval in September and also the value of Choice stock. Choice operates about 7,500 hotels in 46 countries. It's seeking to absorb a much larger chain in Wyndham, which operates nearly 9,300 hotels under a host of brands including Days Inn, Howard Johnson, La Quinta, Ramada, Super 8 and Travelodge. Wyndham, based in Parsippany, New Jersey, posted a profit of $355 million last year with revenue of $1.5 billion. Like most hotels, it has benefited from booming travel in recent years. The uptick in travel has lead to snarled airports and pilot shortages. That has cooled a bit this year as people become more cost conscious about their trips due to inflation and after spending more freely for more than a year. Wyndham's shares are up more than 170% since it stock price tumbled close to $25 each at the start of the pandemic. Shares of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc. jumped more than 15% before the opening bell Tuesday, to $82.40. Shares of Choice Hotels International Inc. fell more than 2%.。1月10日，苏子峰博士在AMD的CES主旨演讲中发布了全球首款7nm图形卡AMD Radeon VII图形卡。英伟达CEO黄仁勋在接受PCWorld采访时谈到了他对图形卡的印象。他用“淡定”这个词来指图形卡为“平面印象”。
二 | 他说：“这太令人印象深刻了。”这很糟糕，没有什么新鲜事。他补充说：没有光线追踪，没有人工智能。它有7nm的HBM内存，但跟不上RTX2080。
三 | 如果我们打开DLSS，我们将粉碎它。如果我们打开光线追踪，就会把它炸掉。但后来PCWorld询问了苏子峰。她也毫不犹豫地回答：“我想说，我们对Radeon VII非常兴奋。”我想他可能还没看过这张视频卡。她还告诉PCWorld，AMD已经在硬件和软件方面开发了光线跟踪技术。她认为光线追踪并不流行，因为它的生态并不完美，而且AMD正在深入开发这项技术，包括硬件和软件。
