Mindustry encourages compact designs due to limited space in levels where factorio has infinite space that encourages sprawling designs. In that context, the all-side output is critical for Mindustry's compact layouts. I find Mindustry

Women are responsible for 80% of the consumer spending. If we assume men and women have equal pay, then 3/5 of men's income is spent by women. If women make 20-30% less overall, then women are actually spending more than 3/4

This depends on the implementation under the hood and I'd say that the ability to use SIMD even at less than peak efficiency is better than not being able to use it at all.

PoE (power over ethernet) spec specifies 48 volts, so if you want to use off-the-shelf stuff, you need to use 48 volts.

This is less cyclical and more common sense changes. AMD used to have 5-wide VLIW. Theoretical performance was massive, but NOTHING could take advantage of 5-wide parallelism consistently. When they switched to VLIW-4, essentially zero perf

TSMC is building a lot of new 28nm production with plans to shut down all their older nodes and move everyone over in the next few years. GlobalFoundries (formerly AMD fabs) created a brand-new 22nm planar process specifically for older chi

AMD's use of chiplets matters here. There is overhead, but they also not only get higher yields, but also have many more chips that can hit their highest target clockspeed meaning they can ship far more high-end chips. This is the same

Because of that management style, it has been bitrotting for FOUR YEARS and has even gotten forked by a couple people involved so at least some progress could continue.

CPU is just one part. You're probably adding your own coprocessor and whatever other IO to the FPGA. If the CPU uses a different interconnect/protocol design, you'll have to redesign and debug your entire interface which will

With each recent node step, you basically get +10-15% clockspeed or -30% power consumption. They just blew their entire node on a small clockspeed ramp. Now, if they want a wider core for M4, that means more transistors and more heat. They

Actual IPC increase is 1-2%. The rest is from ramping the clockspeeds. This is a problem because power consumption goes up exponentially with frequency. Go up too high and they'll be doing what AMD or Intel does where a single core is

The GPU is critical to future profits though. Apple really wants your monthly subscription to Apple Arcade and they want to expand in other game areas which is why they've been paying AAA companies to optimize for Mac. This also ties i

I think it's more accurate to say that M3 favors smaller chips because N3B has atrocious yields (not to mention cost savings). When they switch to N3E and get better yields, I imagine that we'll see chip size grow. As we're g

Native devs need to start always cross-compiling their apps for multiple ISAs from the start. Outside of a very tiny amount writing their own SIMD assembly, this isn't usually a huge deal. WASM is also finally becoming a decent solutio

They need to ship these in a better SKU. 2 P-core and 4 E-core just isn't that great in today's market. The lousy 4 CU iGPU is even worse. At a minimum, I'd like to see 4 P-cores and 4 E-cores plus 8 CU (preferably 16-24 CU).

Oryon seems like it's going to be very competitive with the very underwhelming M3 design.

by hajile 3y ago
Oryon seems to have caught up in performance despite being on N4 (which is just 5nm++), but it's an ARM design from the guys who made M1 in the first place. M3 seems like it generally underwhelms. A17 had like a 3% increase in IPC. The
