I like the concept. At the moment I use contentful so non technical people can edit their static site and don't have to worry about running a server (and especially keeping the software running on it up to date), but I'll probably

As a layman which also thinks of mining as a waste of engery (although it seems necessary as the other commenter pointed out) I hope gridcoin [0] or something similiar takes off. [0] http://www.gridcoin.us/

Yes, but what I meant is uneven CCX. The 4 core parts have 2+2, the 6 core parts have 3+3, the 8 core parts have 4+4. There is no uneven CCX combination like 2+4 for example. If this applies to multi die solutions like Threadripper, there w

I would not be surprised if there will be no 14 core part. None of the Zen based CPU's so far have a uneven CCX configuration but 14 cores would require that.

It will not support LRDIMM and RDIMM, which means you can get "only" 256 GByte of memory [0] although the CPU would support 1 TByte. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/6icdyo/amd_threadri

With the incredible die size of Volta, and the cost associated with it, I wonder if the rumors are true that AMDs next gen GPU codenamed Navi is using the same strategy as their Zen CPUs (Ryzen, Threadripper, Epyc) - multiple smaller dies c

Yeah, I always search with -site:pinterest.* (text so the star after the dot is not parsed).

What is misleading about that? I merely stated that they are the same chip at the start, but Intel deactivates features on the extreme series to segregate the market (nothing wrong with that). Also see my edit of my original post where I mi

by redtuesday 9y ago
They're the same chip, but one of them has ‎artificially deactivated features and is a different line, yes. Misread the line part as chip.
47.
by redtuesday 9y ago
No, they are not. All extreme edition CPU's from Intel are cut down Xeons with deactivated features (like ECC support), and the need to buy hardware dongles to make RAID 5 and RAID 10 work. EDIT: read the children posts. I mistakenly r

Yeah, probably the biggest reason. Maybe this will change when Thunderbolt will be royalty-free next year. AMD has the advantage of being the only company on this planet which can combine a high performance x86 CPU and high performance GPU.

But you wrote "Rust has no backward compatibility" who cares what libraries/projects do?

Yeah, wondering the same. Is there an advantage to type it into the address bar? Maybe a faster key combination or something?

From what I have read [0] the j-core people have that on the roadmap for 2019+. Seeing that Sunway TaihuLight still uses DDR3 I wonder how much power they could save by going with DDR4 and it's lower voltage. It's cool to see so m

I don't know as I don't have enough knowledge about the matter. I'm asking because on Wikipedia and in videos about jcore (which uses SuperH) it is touted as a nice ISA: > High code density compared to other 32-bit RISC I

Could a chip based on the SuperH ISA (off which the patents expire) [0] like JCore compete with RISC-V if similar effort would be put into it? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperH

As a non american I would have agreed if Sanders would have won against Shillary and then Trump.

No, there was also no word on official/validated ECC support, only that Threadripper will launch this summer. But people hope for something between 999$ (since it is two Ryzen R7) and 1499$ for the 16 core CPU. 999$ would be awesome, b

Maybe even better bins if the rumors are true, which put the 1998 X at 3.5 ghz for 16 cores (and boost on single core to 3.9 ghz). But I believe it only when I see it. Especially since the rumors said Threadripper will only have 44 PCIe lan

by redtuesday 9y ago
But Threadripper compares to Intels i9 series. Xeons competition is Naples/Epyc, which has 128 PCIe lanes in a single socket.
