Or performance per watt in server land. Which is a metric that zen 2 dominates in. Very few applications truly care about maxing performance at all costs.

The only answer here is drm esque file signing. Any attempts at detecting fakes will only work while the tech is young. Ofc this requires a web of trust and verification techniques to be applied, since videos are often re encoded.

Here in the southern US, it's mostly a status symbol that people delude themselves into thinking they have a utility need for. Typically people here will have at most 5-6 true needs for one each year, and deal with horrible gas economy

I'm not sure if the compiler is smart enough to do it for you, but you might be able to squeak a bit more performance by precomputing a partial sum (data + V_LEN - 1) outside the loop for this statement: > v_load(data + offset + V_L

Hopefully this stands (or gets challenged and reaffirmed in a higher court). This is a tiny step in the right direction when it comes to the border search exception, which has been upheld in the supreme court [1, 2]. Also commonly known as

This isn't just the rule limit, and the most powerful part of extensions imo is to be able to block/modify elements at the dom level. Both for ad blocking and for customizations (reflow pages, modify css, etc). If you don't f

Most of the OEM desktops are designed with large contracts far in advance, and AMD has had a fairly poor reputation for the past decade or so thanks to Bulldozer et al. In addition, intels marketing budget is in the neighborhood of amds gro

Just a word of caution. Although this is generally true at the moment, AMD's definition of TDP has nothing to do with electrical power or heat output. It's just a marketing number that happens to come close to electrical power. He

Nope, with 1 possible caveat. Amd doesn't have support for avx512 instructions in any of their cpus as far as I know, but avx512 is very uncommon. Most of the Intel chips don't even support avx512. This won't be a "it wo

Thanks but since it isn't already a product, I doubt management would want to touch it unless it was also open source. Otherwise future maintainability is essentially nil. Chances are high that whatever is chosen now will be used for a
