When you have > 4 cores you might want to consider disabling core parking from Windows. I remember some games having stuttering with core parking enabled. This will reduce your chance of hitting max single thread boost though as the scheduler will more actively schedule threads between all cores...
If only all the drunk kids inside had guns on them so they could have began blindly shooting back from the smoke!! If it was an immigrant then banning all immigrants is the solution or if it was Trump supporter then it was a false flag and liberals are to blame!
They're not entirely wrong in criticizing inflated numbers and rhetoric like "up to 50% faster!!" when it clearly doesn't accurately paint the whole picture. Also promoting criticism over paid reviews is healthy practice irregardless of whether those numbers come from Intel or AMD or anyone who...
I come from the atheistic Scandinavia where we do NOT have church state separation. Despite that, religion doesn't play anywhere nearly as big a role in our society as it does in America.
Reading through this thread I see all too familiar pattern with people on both sides trying to attach...
On the plus side since processor vulnerabilities are now a thing, an i7 without HT is actually slightly less broken than one with. I'm talking about TLBleed in specific; a side-channel attack which has been demonstrated to work against HT enabled Intel chips. TBH it may not be the kind of attack...
Amdahl's law is a good reminder there's no infinite scalability. It does make assumptions though that do not always apply. I'll just leave this direct quote from its Wikipedia article:
Absolutely it needs to be made clear this isn't typical workload. Indeed the point was to specifically test for memory congestion. As contention goes up with number of cores though, it brings up an interesting question: how will AMD deal with it in future Zen iterations. If they are going to...
Not sure if this has been done before, but I got bored and decided to do a little bit of benchmarking of second gen Ryzen 2700X memory bus congestion.
The setup is simple: I have n threads each allocating 64MB of RAM, they then get synchronized and all start doing an in-memory copy of the 64MB...
Oh boy is it that time of the year already! Can't wait to get one to play with.. quite interesting if some people already had the chance to purchase theirs prior to official release.
Oh would you look at that. No asymmetric core complexes after all! It's like who would have thought.. Would be cool if one day the other two zeppelins can be unlocked via bios like in the past. Perhaps I will eventually get me a second hand TR as home server once they sell for dirt cheap.
Of course they exist. You can be highly educated and still shut down all critical thinking when it comes to specific topics like religion. In fact smart people are good at coming up with excuses to justify foolish positions. While there does seem to be some correlation between religiosity and...
While I'm personally perfectly fine with 1080 level performance, I'm disappointed to see how much power Vega FE needs to just barely reach that level. Lets be intellectually honest for a moment here: we know the consumer variant will not be that much different, and while it is likely to be...
As vectors become wider, their use cases become narrower. I've heard people chuckle when bringing up thread ripper cause they think they have the trump card: "oh but Intel has better AVX support and in the future it will become more useful". Except that their trump card is about as legit as the...
Covering city wide region from massive artillery barrage is not what missile defense systems are for. With the exception of iron dome deployed in Israel, you would generally use them against long range precision missiles to protect installments of high strategic value. Against artillery you have...
As this is an Intel specific thread, that's where most discussion should be focused. It is though entirely fair to compare upcoming products to other available products to establish where the new product will land. Comparing to both other Intel products and AMD products as well is to be...
