On both Intel and AMD you have the ME and PSP that do some work before the actual Processor even begins to load and execute the earliest stages of the Motherboard Firmware. In Intel, if Boot Guard is enabled (In server board and notebooks it generally is), the ME checks if the Firmware image is...
I specifically mentioned a Cache heavy part to compensate for the higher memory latency. How much Cache L3 it has? 8 MiB for 8 cores? Doesn't fit the experiment.
Sadly, we don't have similar 3DX parts to compare it with.
Where I have hear that before...
Since Cache purpose is to hide memory latency, it would be interesing if in Cache heavy SoCs like AMD 3DX the extra bandwidth can compensate for the worse latency. Perhaps it may be viable for big APUs, with LPDDR with tons of Cache. Isn't that how they do in...
I was going to say that this mobile-on-desktop trend reminds me of that time when we had dekstop boards for Pentium M 21-22 years ago, but is not the same as there are a few differences. This time, for the most part, silicon tends to be exactly the same, maybe just better binned (Which actually...
"everyday computer with minimal gaming" and no integrated GPU? How much was the price difference between that CPU and one with IGP to justify purchasing a low end Video Card for doing essencially nothing?
Are they the exact same model? Do you have another system to test the card, or test the card with no drive connecteds, whatever? If you can get it booting elsewhere, it is possible to check the card Firmware version and update ir or something?
Stagnation between 2002 and 2006? What the hell are you talking about? AMD side we got AMD K8 and Dual Cores in that time period and I don't think that anyone would argue than the latter wasn't a massive improvement for Multitasking, it was Intel the one that mostly stagnated in those years...
Didn't Intel recently said that they were actually going to release it?
And it is not only Raptor Lake Refresh Refresh. It is Alder Lake Refresh Refresh Refresh, since the 6P + 0E and 8P + 8E dies are still present in the lineup, heh.
On the positive side, the only other socket Intel side that...
I don't know how many times I have to state this. YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW PCI EXPRESS IMPACTS PERFORMANCE IS COMPLETELY WRONG. A PCIe link is a highway with X amount of lanes and Y max car speed (Given by Generation, like PCIe 3/4/5) which gives a potential maximum of Z bandwidth if it was...
