Factory Factory posted:We've got our first Zen uarch rumors. "up to 8 cores" - if they go in a consumer craptop, will most software be able to make use of that computing power, or will we see processors good for very specific circumstances but bad for general purpose laptops?

SwissArmyDruid posted:I think that the specs listed are server parts downgraded to desktop, a la Xeon down to i7. It does not make sense for AMD to stop with the APUs for the "craptops". Nor does it make sense to bring hot and power-hungry server parts down to mobile. Ah ok. I had confused it with the mobile-only thing that got announced. 8 cores for server CPUs seems reasonable.

So will we see an intel breakup after which the bastard child of half of intel and half of AMD leftovers competes with the bastard child of the other half of intel and the other half of AMD leftovers in a really awkward and inefficient way?

wargames posted:my desktop not too long was strangled by 4 gigs of ram, and the i3-4030u looking it up because info all things intel is easy, the cpu is super poo poo. Guess what that says about your current CPU then  Also 4gb of extra laptop ram isn't that pricy.

The Lord Bude posted:Ars technica is reporting it as well. Basically from here on out Microsoft will only support a new CPU on whatever the most recent version of windows is when that CPU comes out. It seems to me to be aimed more at preventing people from putting old versions of windows on new PCs.  Curse you, Microsoft! You will not prevent me from using windows 7 till the end of time even if that means I'll buy 2015 processors off ebay till the end of time!

Malcolm XML posted:it is surprisingly complicated to bring up a new processor on a kernel but this is a move to get laggards off 7 and 8(.1) Like I have 8.1/10 on some of my PCs but if I didn't know certain things on them break under 7 I honestly couldn't give less of a poo poo and might just put 7 on them depending on whether the 7 install disc or the 10 install usb stick is closer to my desk during the next reinstall quote:unless satya tanks revenues the shareholders are loving him since Azure and O365 have colossal margins quote:all the shitbox computer janitors d.b.a. "IT departments" are gonna have to suck it up and deal with it. what're you gonna do, deploy linux? Apple is even more hardcore about deprecating old hardware. Just go full "gently caress you" and implement BYOD for work laptops. Either it's a windows shitbox in which case MS Office will work or it's a Macbook in which case MS Office will work. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Some state/local institutions in Germany have deployed linux/openoffice on the desktop by the way (probably didn't actually result in savings because the average civil servant will not be able to adjust though). suck my woke dick fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Jan 16, 2016 |

Stanley Pain posted:Most corps have "recently" moved to Windows 7 and if you don't think that's going to be the norm for at least another 7+ years.... Basically, again, since Windows 7 happened, no Windows has provided an actual benefit to the end user that matters. Before you complain, under-the-hood performance increases and security improvements do not matter to users. As an end user it would have been convenient if 7 had become the last Windows ever made and were now in eternal life support mode.

mobby_6kl posted:The new T-series Thinkpads that IT wants me to use instead of my T520 are actually (very mildly) slower than what I have. Of course they're thinner and lighter, but why would I care if it spends 90% of the time in the dock anyway. Because they also have less features and ports (apart from USB3) of course!

Please have decent single core performance (equivalent to maybe a 3-3.5 GHz Haswell at least) in the better parts. Otherwise the things are DoA again.

SwissArmyDruid posted:No, no, this is the first new rig that I'm building in five years. Literally, I just checked the invoices. Last rig's parts were ordered May 4th, 2011. Get a 850 EVO. They have been out for a while and haven't had problems. If you want to spend lots of money on slightly better performance, the 950 Pro is what you want to get (850 Pro is pointless for home users).

Well, according to that benchmark it beats out some of the low clocked 12 core Haswell Xeons, so it might not be completely useless i guess
