Currently have an 8700k. Am I fine just ignoring anything CPU related until DDR 5 comes out? Like if I were to wait until I wanted to buy new everything for a generational upgrade, would DDR 5 be a good line to draw?

I have this trusty old Latitude E6430 and the i7-3720QM is a little hand dryer, even after replacing the fans and heat sink and disabling the Nvidia GPU ... I guess that’s why.

quote:Rocket Lake is a codename for Intel’s desktop x86 chip family which is rumored[according to whom?] to be released at the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021. It is based on the new Willow Cove microarchitecture backported to the older 14nm semiconductor device fabrication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_CPU_microarchitectures Gawd this poo poo's confusing. I thought Ice Lake was the Microarchitecture, but turns out it's the chip and the Microarchitecture is Sunny Cove. And Willow Cove is the next generation after Sunny, but they're not all 10nm, now.

I always go with: if it has a unified memory architecture, and textures go from storage straight into GPU memory it‘s not a PC DMA straight from storage into GPU memory Efb 3x There’s also a secure enclave type of embedded arm processor that first runs at boot that I forget the details of. See some reverse engineering articles on the PS4; too niche for mainstream. Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Aug 31, 2020 |

Oh cool. Nice to see that stuff in production. Azure Sphere / Pluton is only something I saw talked about two years ago, right alongside the Mirai botnet. it fell outside mainstream tech media, and out of mind.

K8.0 posted:Yeah I feel like that is a fairly common thing in the modern era. I've done it plenty of times with games with lovely startups. Just leave the fucker running from the second time I launch it until I'm done playing it, and if I feel like playing something else I do. My time is way too valuable to sit through 30 or 90 seconds of loading bullshit dozens of times. Ya, you’d think they’d pack as much loading as they could in those “Powered By Speed Tree” screens I haven’t looked into this too closely, but the new Xbox is supposed to be able to suspend and load at the drop of a hat. Dump the contents of ram to disk and and reload something else. Thing is, it’s a console, MS controls that single fixed hardware spec with no 3rd party drivers. How possible is this kind of per-process suspension on a PC? (Though as a developer, I can’t imagine working on some code that deals with datetimes or network and the OS says “you’re going into carbonite now, and when you come out, act as if nothing happened, LOL” Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Oct 16, 2020 |

that makes sense, FWIW, they had Dave Cutler of NT kernel fame working on Xbox. Anything to prevent Mechwarrior or Twilight hacks where an adversarially crafted save file is the first step to having a softmodded console.

silence_kit posted:The YOSPOS AMD or Apple thread had an interesting discussion about this subject. Why is the Apple laptop chip so good? Four possible reasons were identified. New memory controller allows for a single core to saturate the available bandwidth to ram; allowing for very fast single core performance. DDR 5 provides an additional 50% bandwidth so 2021 2022 will see an even larger jump Posted from the Apple m1 thread here’s all the bug workarounds listed on my system with workarounds code:

Gwaihir posted:CPU wise, absolutely, at least in raids. Oh man… WoW was built in an era when multiple core systems weren’t the norm. It’s not like the WoW client is single threaded? It’s like - even on a modern system there’s an upper bound on performance of Quake 2’s software renderer and games like Crysis. The one core gets pegged to 100% and that’s it WoW doesn’t have these problem any more right? The guts of WoW aren’t still stuck in the design decisions of twenty years ago Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Jan 25, 2024 |
