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 :)

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...
