It is, and the A72 has ~2-3x the IPC of the A53 depending on workload.

All of Apple's laptops use unusual resolutions since they're basically the only company still doing 16:10 displays. They just order custom panels.

Going by the "3x faster than Pi 3" claim it should be roughly on par with desktop CPUs from around 10 years ago (Core 2 Quad Q6600, Athlon II X4 600e) or the modern quad core Atom CPUs like say the x7-Z8750.

"Microsoft Discourages Employees From Using Slack, AWS & Google Docs" is shorter and seems more accurate because of Slack not actually being banned. The actual bans all appear to be for legitimate compliance reasons rather tha

This title is wrong, they ban the non-enterprise version of Slack and encouorage the use of Teams over the enterprise version. The real change that should happen is changing the link from the Gizmodo article to the Geekwire article it links

Pete Millet's site is a pretty good resource, he's posted a lot of different designs ranging from preamps to power amps to headphone amps. His "Starving Student" design was my first foray into building a tube amp about a

Both Intel and GF had problems ramping up their new node. Intel has been stuck with chip shortages for the past year and is still on 14nm because of this, AMD was able to (partially) switch to TSMC. I'd say that AMD's ability to p

Several popular profiler tools (valgrind, visual studio profiler, dtrace, perfmon) can track cache miss rates.

That description probably applies to several computer architecture books, but the one I read was like that and called "Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface".

This is true that they haven't actually confirmed that Threadripper is using the EPYC I/O die but I would be very surprised if it isn't. The entire idea behind Threadripper was to reuse as much EPYC tech as possible (in parti

There are three tapeouts used for the entire desktop, HEDT, and server lineup combined. Everything uses the same 8 core CPU dies and there are two different I/O dies- a smaller one used for desktop (which doubles as the X570 chipset) a

You can buy a 64 core dual socket EPYC workstation today for ~$15000. I wonder how much cheaper it'll be 2 years from now.

MIPS is a fun architecture (other than the delay slots that plagued early RISC ISAs) and implementing a subset of it on an FPGA is still a pretty common undergraduate university course project. I was kind of amazed just how simple it is to

At Computex they were claiming the 4.5Ghz 3800X has 1% higher single threaded performance in Cinebench than the 9900K, presumably both were measured at stock clocks. The 3950X has 4.7Ghz boost clock stock so it'll be interesting to see

Yes it does actually work. The easiest way to intentionally trigger memory errors is overclocking. https://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-revie...

The FX-60 from 2006 I think was the last AMD CPU that held this crown. 2.6Ghz and it beat Intel's top chip at 3.5Ghz. The only thing on the market with higher single threaded performance was their own FX-57 which was single core with a

ASRock's Deskmini A300 is as close as you are getting anytime soon. It's a nice machine but not quite as small as the NUC at 155 x 155 x 80 mm. Though note that the chip in this article is not going in a NUC form factor because it

It does have gigabit ethernet and there's also an expansion board with SATA and PCIe but that's another $2000 because it's using an enormous FPGA.

A lot of the data I work on is unfortunately NDAed but I'll try to find something that can be shared, no guarantees though. What's a good way to contact you with this stuff?

Thanks for the detailed explanation and your work on rg, I use it all the time and strongly appreciate the performance with unicode because I do a lot of searching of large directories of files that are largely in Japanese.

Yeah, rg is definitely not always the fastest. Test for your own use case and all. In pretty much any case involving more complicated queries and/or unicode I have found rg to be the fastest by a very wide margin. Also if you're
