Magnificent Quiver posted:You're saying that when the button was in its activated position, it made the computer faster? The turbo button 'on' ran the computer at normal speed, with it 'off' it was slower... like for games/apps that were synchronized to the clock rate.

Spime Wrangler posted:And keep in mind that poo poo like memristors are probably going to hit within a decade. What the gently caress are people going to be able to do with nonvolatile memory an order of magnitude denser, and order of magnitude lower-power, and two orders of magnitude faster than flash that work better as they get smaller, can store non-binary states, can be used as programmable analog circuits, can implement neural networks in hardware, are likely stackable in 3D, and which can do computation without a CPU?

Srebrenica Surprise posted:When has this been the case past 2008? The market differentiation right now is between number of cores, not clock speed, and the cost for another core on the AMD side is about $15. It's not as if we're all looking at Conroes anymore where the difference was 0.5ghz and a cache bump for $70.

slidebite posted:A company I used to deal with for work was called White Power. They are still around but thankfully tweaked their name. I get that WP was for the founders initials, normal thing like JRZ or whatever, but the choice to call it White Power was always a bit weird
