I don't think using that thing would be worth it unless you are on a strict poor person budget. I was there for many years, so from that perspective the 6 dollar upgrade for 25 percent cpu performance that you're probably getting is worth it, but if you have a bit of spending money, then you can get huge performance gains from the cheapest of modern Intel chips and boards. Keep in mind that any new stuff you buy will be more reliable and covered by warranty. Not to mention that the thing probably sucks up 5 times the juice of a modern chip.

Seems like an overclocked 2500k is great for most things right now, it's generally the motherboard lacking new technology, DDR4, USB3, SATA, and PCI Lanes!

The Hyper 212's work so well for their price! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065 I had mine up to 4.6 with one. We've been talking about CPU throttling games, my favorite is World of Tanks! I had a wacky crash or something one day and didn't load the right BIOS profile. My 2550k (2500k sans igpu) was at stock clocks and I was blown away! Game was running so terribly I thought my computer was broken! Cranked it back up and it runs great!

You're assuming a perfectly distributed load. You can't just parallelize a game into equal threads like you can with 3d and video. Here's an example game's threads: Main thread AI Physics Sound So it is 4 different threads, but they are not equal. Another job might be decompressing files or talking to the network. They're just not all going to be going at full speed all the time. Having 2c/4 might allow you to squeeze in a smaller job without needing the power of an entire extra core. Like another said, the "small improvement" that the difference gives you is enough to tip the scale from unplayable to playable. LRADIKAL fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Nov 14, 2016 |

What a crazy straw man argument. Why did you type all that? Yes, some people here have been unreasonably on one side of that silly argument or the other. On the whole though, I think we have a pretty nuanced view of the pressures, both profit and physics wise. Hope you feel better.

It's interesting, the consoles have 8 cores, but even the new scorpio in the xbox is otherwise anemic in the horsepower department in terms of single threaded performance. 2.3ghz not jaguar , not ryzen isn't impressive. (Though it is running GDDR5 RAM) On the other hand the graphics are what, ten times more powerful? I guess what I really want to know is when I can get graphics memory for my pc's processor.

Was written about one or two years ago iirc http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-is-it-finally-time-to-upgrade-your-core-i5-2500k This?

RAM is not worth upgrading. Increasing your turbo boost (overclocking) certainly is. My opinion on RAM comes from my experience going from 1600 to 2133 with my 2500k. If my processor is not OC'd up to 4.5ghz where it should be it seems like the computer is broken. I tried the faster RAM speed, my motherboard only got it stable at 1866 and honestly I can't tell the difference. It is SO lost in the noise of SSD's, graphics card upgrades and the aforementioned overclock. I play games like Rocket League, World of Tanks, DOOM, X-COM 2 and they all run great at over 100fps at 1440p. (except x-com 2, duh).

I attempted to go two up, but my six year old board wasn't having it. It's not going to be a big noticable jump even if you get results like the digital foundry article. Maybe certain specific titles, and it's a lot of money for single digit performance increases. I think I made clear that I was offering anecdotal evidence as well.

There's always risk. Your system is always vulnerable to hacks and exploits. This is just one more. If you are this worried, you shouldn't have any personal information on your computer ever, patched or not.

Could hackers use this code to issue a vigilante update to make the system not vulnerable? I guess, the better question is, can AMD fix any of this with a patch?

Ryzen makes enough sense on the Mac since the main issue we have around here is single thread performance. An apple designed arm chip would require a lot of new code or a lot of fancy, relatively slow virtualization.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:Telsa is going to be vying with Uber for the most unprofitable company in the history of the world pretty soon This got started because someone said something to the effect of "...Keller realized Musk is a loving idiot..." What's your point? Amazon ran a deficit for years, so maybe he's more of a Bezos, except, he's beating Bezos (and ULA, and Russia) with his rocket company. So I guess I'll make the claim that god head Elon will turn Tesla into the most important car company in the history of man. Do you agree that Musk is a loving idiot, or is it that not all of his businesses are profitable?

Has Intel over-segmented its' technology into a confusing nightmare? AVX is a powerful tool, no? Does AMD or ARM offer simpler or easier ways to target performance advantages? Also, maybe I don't understand what this means.

For certain tasks the threading can be very advantageous, but for our purposes, the higher single threaded bandwidth is probably going to give better high end performance.
