    AMD Zen: A properly functioning microarchitecture?

    There are serious ACPI issues, AFAIK, along with weird issues with the iGPU. I hear that sometimes even using a dGPU and disabling iGPU is not enough.

    AMD Zen: A properly functioning microarchitecture?

    No, I am not trolling. I am not sealioning. I might be specially pleading - I am not sure. Segfault has been 'proven'. VME was proven and fixed - but there are still examples of people that can't get the old stuff to run on Win98 on Ryzen (with SVM enabled, other VMs work fine), but the exact...

    AMD Zen: A properly functioning microarchitecture?

    Basically my point is that these errata appeared a little (maybe a lot) more serious and pervasive than normal to me. I remember the Sandy Bridge chipset recall, Atoms self-bricking and Phenom issues as the several 'big' examples of modern arches having serious hard-to-fix issues. If you patch...

    AMD Zen: A properly functioning microarchitecture?

    Basically it is that while things may appear alright on the surface for those millions, could the bulk of the iceberg be underneath the waves? Especially with nondeterministic stuff like the cause of segfault - could BSOD this or that be a hardware issue rather than a software one? (But be...

    AMD Zen: A properly functioning microarchitecture?

    Segfault was apparently a manufacturing issue of some kind. AMD reps have basically confirmed there is no microcode fix for that issue (though updated GCC may not hit the processor the right way to cause it), and it does not occur on older AMD or Intel systems. There is a RMA process setup for...

    AMD Zen: A properly functioning microarchitecture?

    I'm sure many of us here have vague memories of chips that had real-world, unfixable bugs and problems. Problems that would not go away with a better motherboard, BIOS updates, OS reinstalls - without rewritten software. Problems that others might even blame on a bad overclock until the OP...

    Only people with an IQ of 115 or higher can get this right

    As has been said many times on this thread, just because there are two possibilities doesn't necessarily mean that both are equally likely. I either wake up a billionaire tomorrow or I don't, but does anyone here think that it's a 50-50 chance between the two?

    Only people with an IQ of 115 or higher can get this right

    Only 1 of two boxes remains. However, it's more likely that the first golden ball you chose was in the first box. While you did choose a box at random, any time you chose Box 2 but pulled silver the first try, you lost the first go. So only half the time you pulled the first ball in Box 2, was...

    Only people with an IQ of 115 or higher can get this right

    I think a lot of people here do not realise that while you are indeed drawing the 2nd ball from the same box as the first (gold) one... It is more likely (2/3) that the (gold) ball you chose first was in the first box, and hence there is a 2/3 chance you 'chose the first box'. Which...

    Intel SPI Flash Flaw Allows BIOS and UEFI Deletion

    Literally happened to me. Hopefully it was just a bad UEFI update from MS, but the symptoms it produced were disconcerting ie. PC sometimes booting, then suddenly shutting off, or refusing to allow me to change settings by shutting off if I tried: (This would imply active malware or...

    Optical CORDIC and VLIW for next-gen x86?

    This would be very much like Midgard. Sequentially executed, but pipelined and speculatively executed to increase serial performance, using a heuristic engine or just plain 'try every possibility!!!' for the simple predictable code. The differences are: it's x86, there's no RISC decode because...

    Optical CORDIC and VLIW for next-gen x86?

    Simple. 40x comes from the extreme density of the various native x86 instructions Intel and AMD RISC dynarecs are power hungry and inefficient compared to this, with way lower IPC. As to why 'nobody else has ever thought of this before': that's not true. Many people have thought of elements of...

    Optical CORDIC and VLIW for next-gen x86?

    Because they would be given the opportunity to make a lot of money from this design by working together. If they don't, we flat-out refuse to share any SystemVerilog and process node IP with them, and pit them against each other until one cracks and agrees to do the 1486, while the other misses...

    Centurion/VIA/AMD 801486-class launching in 2019-2021.

    Main technical, financial, legal and corporate details. Intel will be forced into a brutal, no-holds-barred patent war if they attempt to sue over x86 licensing for this and they will be fought to the last dollar. I've been very heavily involved in the overall architecture of this project and...

    Optical CORDIC and VLIW for next-gen x86?

    The design is being prototyped as we speak. 300mm high volume production will most likely exist by Q1 2021. Can't remember where/when I thought this was actually happening... no solid evidence. I apologise, it's been an exhausting 4 months. (Edited)

    Optical CORDIC and VLIW for next-gen x86?

    The mid-2000s AMD GPUs were hardwired VLIW and enjoyed moderate success. The Elbrus 2000 and its derivatives have also had limited success in Russia for national security reasons. IBM POWER and various SPARC CPUs could be said to be VLIW in the way they input and output data over their buses.

    Optical CORDIC and VLIW for next-gen x86?

    I see potential solutions to this problem: Break the CPU die (for an 8-core design like this on 14nm FinFET: ~600-900mm^2) up into much smaller die. These smaller die implement the logic but are much cheaper to manufacture and have a much higher yield. Perhaps even move a lot of the DDR5 memory...

    What is waking up my HDD(s)?

    Might be Windows caching things on the drive. You can disable this by right clicking on the drive in Windows Explorer > Properties > click on the Hardware tab > Click on the drive you want > Properties > Change Settings > Policies > see if any of the two options here are enabled.

    Optical CORDIC and VLIW for next-gen x86?

    Thoughts? With modern transistor budgets, could a hardware dynarec be added to the old Elbrus 2000 architecture to eliminate the old argument of 'you need software optimisation for VLIW to work'? Thus, you have a 'pure CISC' x86 CPU gobbling up massive CISC instructions in one fell swoop, and...

    Do you think the hard drive industry will return to half height (1.63" tall) 3.5" hard drives?

    I think the question will be: will there be enough of a density improvement and economic incentive for Seagate to do it and drive farms to buy said drives? I suspect the answer is no for the near future, personally.

    A reason to stick with SATA SSDs, rather than PCI-E?

    Would a simple reformat be an issue? Are you worried about the unpowered cells behaving unpredictably when written to again?

    How real is CL / MHz * 1000 ?

    Will be in nanoseconds, but essentially, yes if you mean CL/Mhz (so ie. 17/3733*1000).

    USB ports failing?

    Grounding problem/standoff mounting issue, perhaps? And yeah, PSU sounds like a likely culprit, if there's any way you can scavenge another one to test.

    Maximum HD storage

    Well the thing with filling up a HDD to max is that the R/W head is moving towards the centre of the platter and thus the circumference of the region it's flying round gets smaller and smaller as the HDD continues to fill up. The head's flying over less sectors = less data flown over per second...

    Why does read speed slow towards the end of a failing drive?

    What the guy above said. Bad sectors take a long time to error-correct AND the drive must remap it, meaning the read/write head must move to a different location (SLOW).

    Which of these 4tb drives should I buy

    Western Digital Blue HDD failing but SMART says otherthing.

    Only solution at the moment seems to be to download a floppy image and burn it with something like WinImage. Captain, any other solutions mate?
