So, upgrade question: I've currently got an i3-2100, I can get an i5-2500t rather cheap. would I see a noticeable improvement in doing a drop-in replacement, or should I bank the cash to hasten a full board & chip swap further down the line?

Non-serrated hemostats might be what you need.

Khorne posted:If you mean on benchmarks, check user submitted benchmarks or any aggregate site. The numbers are roughly, 3770k just flat out beats 1700 stock/oc, it's even with 1700x stock and has a ~6% edge oc, it gets beat by 1800x stock, has ~2% edge oc, and obviously at that slim of a margin it gets smashed on anything that leverages the extra cores. Right, and quad core the 1700x and 1800x both outperform the 3770k slightly if I remember right.

I'm confused. PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-SpeculationControlSettings Speculation control settings for CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection] Hardware support for branch target injection mitigation is present: False Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is present: True Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is enabled: False Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is disabled by system policy: False Windows OS support for branch target injection mitigation is disabled by absence of hardware support: True This thing's an i5-7200u, so shouldn't it have INVPCID for this stuff to switch on, or does HP have to give a blessing first?

Paul MaudDib posted:I mean, the truth is that in 6 months nobody will care about this patch. Fixups happen, as long as there is actually a fixup it's fine. 0-5% performance impact is nothing at all as these things go. If there was a fixup for the Ryzen segfault bug with 5% impact I wouldn't care, the problem is there isn't. Eve's infrastructure is turbo-hosed anyhow. Unless they've done something major since I played, everything's single-threaded on nodes.

Question: do modern CPUs still have a full set of all the instructions for 8/16-bit software? I'm sure I remember a long time ago there being something about only being able to use the next group down, so 64/32, 32/(16+8). Virtualbox will happily boot a 8-bit DOS 6.22 instance on top of 64-bit Win10.

Just remember, the thermals of MacBooks are notorious. Doubly so if you’re comparing to a box with proper fans.

CFox posted:There won’t be a switchover in 2-3 years but there will be a strong push on the windows side. Microsoft would absolutely love to ditch all the legacy cruft that’s slowing them down and OEMs would love to buy cheaper and simpler SOCs and lower their costs. I think apple is going to come out strong with good performance and excellent battery life and just make their offerings straight up better than things on the windows side, as long as you’re not trying to game on them or need some software that Mac doesn’t have. People are already just-about making it work already on the surface pro X that’s ARM with a compat later. Windows HAL’s a thing. https://youtu.be/BceSt_Mx8Hk

Cygni posted:My local microcenter has cut $50 off the price of a 10850k, now $399. For 10/20 and 5.2ghz clocks. How does it compare to zen3 price-wise once you have to strap a threadripper cooler on it?

The real issue running old stuff on a modern OS is that some stuff that was 16bit (file handles?) is now 32 bit and actually uses all the space, so it can’t just be truncated back down to 16bit. You can bodge stuff in there to make it work, but it’s pretty fiddly at best.
