someone post that graph of how close you have to sit to notice the difference between 1080p and 4k. i assume all the models are still chasing resolution over nice hdr contrast and reduced blur etc etc.

are you talking dithering or something cuz i don't see how gamut and pixel count could be related.

floating point accelerators

not units, these were not part of the instruction set like a floating point unit—or coprocessor as they were originally called, as they weren’t integrated physically into the main CPU

no, floating point accelerators were peripherals you used to perform floating point operations

so you’d have a library or in-line assembly macros to call the thing, and you might even have to arbitrate which process has access to it (depending on its degree of OS integration) and it was enough of a pain that it would only end used by Important Applications (and maybe locally compiled software)

and typically it would be implemented as a board or board set about the size of your main CPU’s board or board set

hell yeah starfox ruled
