So CPUs are now wrestling software for memory? What is this supposed to mean?
- joshyeager 7y agoRelative to its clock speed, the Pentium III had a lot of cache, good memory bandwidth, and low memory latency. And back then, disk IO was extremely slow. These two facts meant that common workloads were more often constrained on CPU cycles or disk IO, rather than RAM access.
