This was a big thing in video game development in the mid 90's/early 2000's. So long as you can keep the code and data or at least manageable chunks of it in cache, that would give huge performance gains. Things like the Ps2

I am completely on board with the idea of Richard Stallmans of abolishing software patents BUT it is simply an ideal that I do not see ever happening on a large scale. The fact is that when it comes to business, they can help. It is just a

Which is why I always found it funny to see consoles using unified GDDR for CPU and GPU. But you can optimize around the limitation (within reason) and don't have to content with a general non-specified OS. This is why I do wonder abou

It isn't so much the physical limits but more the cost of manufacturing a physically more complex board. This is why most low end GPU's typically have their memory bus width cut down to save on PCB and RAM complexity costs. An ext

This sounds like it is more about GUI latency due to a more agile desktop environment. Sort of like how a Pentium 3 feels snappy on Windows XP and yet, this 13th Gen Intel Core i5 on Windows 11 feels sluggish. There is WAY more processing p

I have a website that is just a few black text on white HTML files I maintain in whatever text editor I have at hand. Loads lightning fast, and if you cannot view it, its not a web browser. Last I checked, the total site size was about 60KB

Like most things in the world. The problem isn't necessarily the technology but the scale at which it is implemented.

These are some very fair points. There was one book 'Electron Fire' all about the creation of the transistor, I think. I say that because never have I heard a more unenthused narrator. Makes Henry Kissinger sound like a dramatic a

I am still amazed by seeing Fractals rendered in real time. My Core 2 Duo can do the initial renders at about 1080p resolution in about a second or two. Something that would have taken hours to do on an Amiga in the 80's IF you even ha

I have said this will initially be sold as a feature on things like Audiobooks. Pick your book, pick your reader and away it goes. The Diary of Anne Frank read by Gilbert Gottfried.
