There is a big difference between 2core/2thread and 4core/8thread. It would be interesting to see more granular data.

Actually, I think game endings define the art of concurrency. GPUs have hundreds of threads, and the SIMD paradigm is more powerful than the more flexible MIMD one used by most multithreaded server frameworks.

Generally speaking gaming is single thread intensive on the CPU side, and all parallel task are offloaded to the GPU. This is really more of a workstation or server cpu than a gaming cpu. Edit: Tons of comments are pointing out exceptions.

Prebuilt pcs were cheap in the '90s and '00s as well. Premium brands like AlienWare still exists for gamers.

I'm coming to the conclusion that when the economic system is Capitalism the goverment will become a Plutocracy, regardless of how well regulated it is. Money is power, and nothing concentrates wealth like capitalism.

The free market is not inherently just or fair. In the south many restaurants did not sell to African-Americans. Those restaurants did very well in the free market compared to restaurants that sold to African-Americans.

Forced updates are bad. 1. Updates can introduce breaking changes. 2. Windows will restart the computer to update, potentially interrupting processes. 3. Users should have freedom to use software in the way that they choose, and not have ac

My major complaint about airpods is that I routinely use headphones for longer than 4 hours in a single session. Still, I like them so much that I own two pair and swap when the battery is low.
