I've been without a desktop for awhile. Instead I've been using my work laptop for whatever small personal things I need to do. Once I started a career in computer hardware the hobby lost most of it's draw. Still hope to do another build someday, maybe a photoshop box. Crazy to me you don't need...
I had a Radeon 9800 Pro! My Dad got it for me as a Christmas present around that time. Always thought the box art with the crazy gargoyle was awesome. When I upgraded after that, I got an AsRock socket 939 board with an AGP and PCI-E slot (wow!), to leave my GPU upgrade path open. Great fun, I...
As the internet changed, this forum has always felt like it was lost in time. I haven't posted daily in many years but I always come back to visit. Would be a shame if it disappeared, so many years after the great fusetalk migration.
It's surprising how L1 and L2 cache sizes have remained mostly static since the early 2000s. My first CPU was a single-core Athlon 64 3700+ with 1MB of L2. The venerable i5 2500k had a mere 256kB of L2 per core. All generations of Ryzen have 512kB of L2 per core. Intel's screaming 12900k has...
I don't think this is quite right. Official SPEC runs can use (almost) any compiler and compiler settings they please. The resulting numbers are about as far from apples-to-apples as it gets. As I understand it the AT numbers use comparable compilers and compiler settings, and are much better...
Armv8 certainly allows for a coherent I$, even if most Armv8 processors don't have one. On both Graviton 2 and Ampere Altra the instruction caches are fully coherent, and therefore no explicit cache maintenance is required in the case you outlined. Of course synchronization barriers would still...
It's been awhile since I've been around ATOT, but I'm extremely glad to hear this news. I remember you and the rest of the board fondly :)
P.S. unban dug777
Whether M1 specifically is the fastest laptop chip is a needless argument. The pace of innovation is what matters. M2 will in all likelyhood continue Apple's incredible rate of performance improvements, and there is next to no chance Intel pulls even with that pace. I believe we are near or at...
TSMC is the last game in town for leading edge digital nodes. If I were the US Government I'd be sending more soldiers to Taiwan. Although I'm not sure anyone in D.C. has even an inkling of how important this shift is... Intel missing the mark on fab tech so badly is becoming a national security...
Hi Markfw, there is a lot of speculation *rim-shot* going on in this thread. To try answer your question "Please tell me where I am mistaken in my math" directly, you are not mistaken. Your EPYC 7742 is a great part. I think main disconnect here is that you are comparing against the Arm A72...
I don't think you pay a 43% premium unless it's a long play. It will be interesting to see how much the Softbank management touches the ARM management.
EDIT: Formal Announcement: https://www.acceleratingtech.com/disclaimer/
43% premium on shares :eek:
I presume the formal announcement will be early this week, but leaks are abound:

it's not good money, Uber is going to be the one making money off of you
That being said I wish Uber/Lyft were still in Austin, transportation here is literal garbage currently.
Generally speaking higher-quality DAC's are packaged into USB DAC/AMP combos for audiophiles. But you can find a few add-in cards with good DACs, depending on what you mean by "break the bank".
As an engineering rule of thumb, signal delay is about 1 nanosecond per foot of wire.
Also, the USB spec talking about 5 meters is "official", but higher quality cables with larger diameter wire will be able to carry the signal further without degradation.
I think they have a fair shot, because (excuse me for saying) I don't think Cavium's in-house uarch is exactly at the bleeding edge of efficiency OR st perf. You have to imagine a more Apple A9 like core I think.
Do what you want, it's your life. Personally, I wouldn't feel like a man if my parents were still supporting me at 23. You might not feel the same way, and I wouldn't judge you for that.
This game has garbage netcode/hitboxes/whatever, 100% catered to shitty players. When the designers talk about this "favoring the shooter" nonsense my head explodes. I sometimes wonder if they even play their own game.
That being said the characters play uniquely which makes the game pretty fun.
idk, PC is a cheap hobby
Payed like $2k for baller PC that will last 3 years running things on max/near max, and that's like $60 a month. Most of my friends blow that on booze in one weekend.
That might be essentially true, but there are other issues on the desktop side such as widespread device driver support that ARM needs to address. (I would also wager a guess that within 1 or 2 more core generations those issues will be dwindling.)
