Everything you say is accurate, but, grad students have to start somewhere. If they can make a 65nm version that runs at say 500Mhz, that would be better. Remem

Everything you say is accurate, but, grad students have to start somewhere. If they can make a 65nm version that runs at say 500Mhz, that would be better. Remember that "real work" was done on desktops on a Sparcv8 chip that ran at 75Mhz or less.
- jfk13 7y agoI remember doing real work on CPUs such as a Z-80 at 4MHz. How our standards and expectations have changed...
- webmobdev 7y agoYeah, didn't Windows 95 run on 100 Mhz x86 processors? And Linux used to be blazing fast on it too (compared to today where Linux seems to be slower than Windows on the same hardware - yeah, I am looking at you Ubuntu).
