The difference between heckling and accurate assertions backed by industry standard information :

My stance and reply won't change because the post I was responding to hasn't.
The assertion of a 20Ghz single core monster was presented and I pointed out the absurdity. If you want to change the topic of discussion feel free. However, I already addressed that too regarding my statements about...
People and their idols...
Take a look around at modern society.
Celebrity worship was a thing and then it went broad based with e-celeb.
People live vicariously through others, hold opinions through others, feel empowered through others, and hold a jumble of other illogical conclusions through...
Exactly. It's essentially a well served market with a product for everyone. Thus there being no need for rants about performance in 2019. Given that it's a market and there is no one size fits all, a company has to decide as to what segments they'll target. In this comes the distinctions...
A lot can be achieved in the clock cycles it takes for a context switch. Relative to clock cycles, you face the same fundamental issue no matter the clock speed. One operation takes far more clock cycles than many others. Responsiveness in a multi-processor environment which I have already...
The user stated quite clear that's what they're referring to and several users beyond myself replied as such. I suggest you re-read what kicked this off and stop for a minute and consider the absurdity of even mentioning a 20GHz processor. Furthermore, when a user makes comments that reflect...
Context .. Context .. Context switch. My informative post was in reply to a user who ranted about a 20Ghz single core processor while ignoring (OS 101) in which there are context switches, hardware interrupts, cache flushes, and a slew of other things that would bring it to its knees. Your 20Ghz...
Sure you can user more clocks but at what cost? My point was about desktop (namely vidya gamers) ranting and raving about ST performance as if its the end-all-be all for computing. Who else complains about 'ST performance' on this forum besides this group? My point about the pro-market was that...
^Thank you ! No need to reply to anyone else. Exactly correct ! Someone gets it although a small minority. It's like they never heard of interrupt routines that handle I/O and carefully ignored how many processes/threads they can confirm are running in task manager in a modern OS. UI's are...
Yes, I remember covering this sophomore year in computer engineering 101.
Modern processors, operating systems, memory technology, and algorithms when all mixed together goes far and beyond Amdahl's laws. What about someone with 100 browser tabs open while gaming while streaming? What does...
When you get a chance, go to your task manager and copy/paste how many processes and threads are running purely at idle. Multi-core is a standard. UI was sped up due to multi-core processors not single-threaded clocks. All modern OS kernels are multi-threaded. The boost comes from this. I...

The comments section is gold !
Electronic Arts has mismanaged the Battlefield franchise in the past -- BF3 and BF4 were not great from a...
Indeed, the game changer is the inter-connect. That I/O chip is where all the action is now. The long term goal of AMD has been HSA. The universal interconnect with widespread industry buy-in is what makes this possible. They've been laying the ground work for a progression to a universal fabric...
AMD took a page out of the Network Industry on how to scale and continues to do so.
You essentially have a data center on a chip.
^ show me a (muh single threaded performance) with this kind of throughput ...
People are screeching about single-threaded performance and AMD has just...
