I would argue that this is extremely shady by Intel. It being an overclocked part means that this could be the single best 28-core die Intel has ever produced, so good luck getting one yourself (even then it still required a 1700W+ water ch

I think the IPC gap will become an interesting battle in the near future, especially as gains that came from aggressive speculation have proven to introduce security holes (take your pick of Meltdown, Spectre variant n ,...).

Do you mean for liquid-cooled solutions only? We've been using this Noctua U14S TR4-SP3 ( https://noctua.at/en/nh-u14s-tr4-sp3 ) on a 1950X (no overclock though) without issues.

Just put together a first gen Threadripper build for work a few months ago where out-of-the-box ECC support was too good to pass up for a box with >= 64GiB DRAM. If it’s possible to do a drop-in upgrade (cooling solution not withstanding

I think the cooling could be a significant part of the picture here---you can nudge the power/frequency curve a bit with very aggressive cooling (phase-change is extremely aggressive) to drop the leakage power (e.g., as AMD did with th

If we assume this design is based off of something similar to the 28-core 8180 which has a 2.5GHz base frequency and (generous, likely understated) 205W TDP, this chip could easily have a TDP north of 300W. Those boxes on stage sure don&#x2

Perhaps one of the most interesting parts of this deal are the fact that the order seems to be on the scale where things appear to be ready off-the-shelf . Does an order of 62,000 imply that Waymo is close to having hardware that can be qu

This point doesn't seem to make sense. If you have 25 potential attackers, then for there to be an actual 51% attack, more than half of them (13/25) would have to band together to actually reach 51%. Unless the assumption is that

Surprised that the TI-8X series and TRS-80 got mentioned as popular applications, but not the Gameboy! (well, it's not _exactly_ a Z80, but it's close enough that reasonable Gameboy emulators are feasible on a TI-83+SE: https:&#x

This type of noise is arguably worse than that produced by a well-managed fan setup. If you have fans that spin at a constant RPM, you can fairly easily tune out the noise. Coil whine will vary depending on the load of the system (e.g., whe

That depends on what the source of the lurching is---if you live in an area where surface street road quality is rough (e.g., Seattle), then it won't help much. But electrification can mean the bus will use a fixed gear instead of a ro

0.25s for 200MB (in memory) seems pretty slow for a modern CPU (800MB/s) which is more than an order of magnitude below what you would expect from main memory. There can be a lot of performance left on the table even in standard libra

Unfortunately it looks like the hardware acceleration used by the AI is _relatively_ modest in this case: 6660K, GTX 1060. I wonder what the strength improvement would be with just a beefier single node machine.
