I know this thread doesn't see much action lately, but this may be of interest to some of you: Aqua Computer over in Germany has come up with a 3D printable delidding tool for Skylake: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/auqa-computer-skylake-delid-spacer,30806.html

That is also a factor. I know the experiment you're talking about, where someone delidded an Ivy Bridge, repasted it, and did tests without the glue and a paper shim to simulate glue. EDIT: Found it: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=34053183&postcount=570 I am not going to say this is still a problem for Skylake, as I haven't seen anyone find the same result, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised either. EdEddnEddy posted:Exactly this from what I have read. However they also aren't using the best thermal paste either so delidding and applying some better stuff seems to provide nearly as good results as soldering it would. Related to that, the above test showed that the Intel TIM was superior to NT-H1, which is one of the better pastes out there. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Dec 30, 2015 |

It's okay, guys, I still think Intel's..... okay! I mean, like as not, Thunderbolt is still an Intel-only thing until USB 4, and that's not gonna show up until something 2022 at the earliest. I'm probably buying an LG Gram with Ice Lake for my brother still, when those show up. Speaking of Thunderbolt in the intervening period: I, for one, am very glad to see that Intel is doing slightly less stupid things with regards to not hanging Thunderbolt exclusively off the PCH.  Though their testing methodology with Gen11 graphics raises some eyebrow-raising questions. SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 12:24 on May 28, 2019 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeyAG-CMKCs This little hardware demo from Intel looks interesting, and ASUS is already in on something like it, since they just announced a remarkably-similar (but missing the second hinge) ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo. I do think that the Intel demo would be more usable, though, and I gotta say, as I have moved over to ultrawide monitors, I've started stacking dual monitors vertically instead of horizontally too, so I think it's a good move.

2011-ish is the year I switched off spinning rust and onto an SSD and never looked back. I was one of the lucky motherfuckers that got an OCZ Vertex 3s that did NOT exhibit any of the controller problems that others were having.

I might have had enough money to get a small SSD, but not THAT much money, duder. It was only a 120GB model, after all, and I had to get it on deep discount from Newegg during Black Friday. And then they shipped me $400 of DoA parts, then tried to claim their "Iron Guarantee" didn't count during Black Friday, so I swore a fatwa against ever giving them my business again, but at least I got an SSD out of it. Who knows if I actually had a good sample, though. XP being XP, in retrospect, I'm not sure I would have been able to tell the difference between a malfunctioning controller and one that wasn't. Besides, all my documents folders and crap were mapped to my old boot spinning rust, now relegated to secondary storage, so nuking and paving was relatively painless.

I'm sure there are gonna be use cases for RAID 0 forever, but really, it's getting harder and harder to saturate storage these days. Just what kind of consumer workload is going to saturate an NVMe link? At PCIe 4.0?

gradenko_2000 posted:so HFT is just but coin mining but real? As I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong: You know how in the stock market, things that are traded fluctuate over the course of a day, right? HFT seeks to take advantage of those fluctuations rather than large market swings, by algorithmically buying when the stock/security/currency exchange/whatever drops by a few cents, then selling it when it bounces back a few cents higher. In short, making money through volume trading off the inherent background noise, rather than out of insight or information.

https://blogs.intel.com/technology/2019/11/ipas-november-2019-intel-platform-update-ipu/quote:Intel is heavily invested in both industry collaboration and in conducting security research into our own products. As a result, while we are addressing 77 vulnerabilities this month, 67 were discovered internally through our own testing, validation and analysis. We believe that assigning CVE ID’s and publicly documenting internally found vulnerabilities helps our customers to accurately assess risk, prioritize, and deploy updates. By the time you are reading this blog post, mitigations for many of these issues will have already been propagated throughout the ecosystem through the IPU process. At the same time, the external researchers who reported the remaining issues to us have all been good partners in working with us on coordinated vulnerability disclosure (CVD). Intel plz. I remember when six or more CVEs in A YEAR was unusual, but 77 in a month? SwissArmyDruid fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Nov 13, 2019 |

If it's something like a whole wafer, chances are that something went wrong between masks, so it may not have even made it all the way through production. Nor would you want to display perfectly good silicon, imagine someone smashing and grabbing that.

GF is owned by a wealth fund, of course they don't understand the importance of investing large sums to chase new processes. They just see that the IBM money dried up, and that they weren't going to make a profit by chasing 7nm when they can just sit back and vend 14nm to people who are still on 20nm and 32nm for pure profit.

It absolutely shouldn't. For comparison's sake, a 750ti was capable of 1.4 TFLOPs single precision. Right now, at THIS VERY MOMENT, Ice Lake G7 clocks in somewhere between 1.0 and 1.1 TFLOPs, depending on cooling and configuration. I don't know why you guys think this is some kind of unattainable goal that needs voodoo and HBM and chiplets and new memory. It's there! It's right loving there! It's so close!
