An extra byte to eliminate a MOV via a 3-register instruction is a no-brainer savings. The extra 16 registers are going to be a lot more fun though. It will also eliminate a lot of those MOVs, but every access will have a 17% penalty going

The difference is a lot when put into proper perspective. Average x86 instruction length is 4.25 bytes. ARM64 is 32-bits. RISC-V compressed was a little under 3 bytes around 10 years ago when introduced. So if RISC-V instruction length is 3

I glanced over the Intel APX spec paper while reading this article. https://cdrdv2.intel.com/v1/dl/getContent/784266 It looks like it uses the 4-byte EVEX prefix. It would also need 1-2 operand bytes and anot

The US is also much larger than Germany and is in the process of building more nuclear plants. If you care about the environment, nuclear is the only sustainable option at the moment. The plant costs have a very long time to recoup. Lots of

The real question would be: Did BMW go on a massive hiring spree in 2021-2022 like most US companies did? If not, then the comparison doesn't make any sense.

Intel changed their TDP on more recent chips to be more reflective of reality. Actual peak power for the AMD chip will be at least 2x higher or 18-60w which isn’t that different (and I believe it can actually hit even higher than that at th

The book is primarily good at introducing the basic concepts of functional programming. It’s also one of the best for that in my opinion. You wouldn’t use the quicksort from your textbook in production because it’s an example designed to t

External cable size is limited by flexibility. In theory the 4x variant could drive an external GPU at PCIe 5 x16 bandwidth. Alternatively, it could drive a 4x16 card and have bandwidth left for fast SSDs and fast Ethernet and various USB s

The weirdest part is "compiler improvement is the wrong approach" then pushing Svelte, Solid, etc which ALL REQUIRE custom compilers. At least the React team is looking to make any added compiler optional.

It's not the general public -- it's the ideological echochambers around these companies. You have 10% left extremists, 10% right extremists, and 80% centrists. The 10% leftist extremists control most of the educational institutes

It’s generally not what it claims. Single purpose is a good idea, but the rest… The idea that one class changing won’t change others is a pipe dream. Substitution only matters if you’re using inheritance, but if you’re inheriting, you likel
