Yep, you can do that, and yep, it gets slower. That’s basically the tradeoff Apple made with their M series chips vs AMD/Intel which until recently have been chasing fast and narrow designs. Apple in contrast, has a crazy “wide” core a

People have thought about it, but it’s so incredibly wasteful that it’s impractical. At 20% branching, you rapidly run out of resources pending the winning branch and spend possibly 8 cores just to predict three branches ahead, or roughly 1

Reposting this answer as it’s relevant here too - we already do this - a modern superscalar CPU is essentially an engine for turning sequential code into 6-8 (or more!) simultaneous operations that are dispatched all at once. Downstream, so

Lower resolution yes, but one thing with the 400MS or any multishot back is that it can shift by one or 1/2 pixel to collect full RGB color info for each pixel, very important for conservation work.

It’s not, most high performance sedans will leave it out as they don’t have enough volume to affect the averages anyway. My 2018 RS3 doesn’t have it, where as even the 2018 S3 does, 2024 still doesn’t have it: https://www.audizin

Wow, by like an order of magnitude. TSMc used 100 million metric tons of water in 2023 - a single californian farm apparently can use 2.9 acre feet per acre, for 8.4 million acres. And acre foot is 325851 gallons… For a total of 2.7e12 gall

L3 caches are already basically distributed and networked through a ring bus or other NoC on many x86 chips, for example sapphire rapids has 1.875MB of L3 per core, which is pooled into a single coherent L3. Fun fact, this is smaller than e

Yeah location of your place, climate, and placement of the server in the house will affect this a lot. I'm on the top story of a building, even in the winter I rarely need to turn on my heat, just getting by on the waste heat of the re

100% agree, anything beyond 4x gpu’s is getting into the very annoying to power territory and makes the cloud very attractive. I already can trip a 15A circuit on 115v power with just 3x4090s and a SPR-X cpu. It also costs a lot to power. I

It’s an epyc server board, it probably has actual U.2/MCIO pcie ports on the board that can be merged back into a 16x slot in the bios. I had/have several boards like that.

I'd say no, because they averages over the entire group. If you ranked based on say, most liked in your friends circle, or most liked by people with a high cosine similarity to your profile, then it starts to slide back into editorial

Saying this as someone with a fairly loud car (when the exhaust flaps are open) - good. Stock exhausts should follow laws, and manufacturers have been ignoring the limits in the USA at least quite flagrantly. Also, for non-moving car relate
