For more up to date technical knowledge, I really liked his software 3d renderer articles. He talks about Pentium 4s and such, which are old of course, but he gives good tips on optimizing for a cache hungry, superscalar processor (which is pretty much relevant today).
- choosername 10y agoi used a p4 until this year and upgraded only to save power.
- dr_zoidberg 10y agoI have an old Pentium M notebook with 256 RAM lying around with Linux for optimizing. If you get it to run fast in it, it should run pretty much anywhere. I'm looking to moving to an old netbook though, but I'm not sure because of the architecture of the first Atoms.
- Narishma 10y agoCan't you use something like a Raspberry Pi for that?
- dr_zoidberg 10y agoIf I was optimizing for ARM the RPi would be a great machine :) The Penitum M is sort of like "the missing link" between old and newer architectures. From it "evolved" the Core Duo brand (I also have one of those around), Core 2 Duo, and Core i3/5/7 architectures. And while there are differences, the M is still similar enough to be representative.
