If we're talking about standard server RDIMMs with ECC (or the prosumer stuff) the CPU visible ECC (excluding DDR5's on-die ECC) is typically implemented as a sideband value you could ignore if you disabled the correction logic. I

I reached out to Mercury Research (the company whose research is being quoted) and the articles are missing some clarifying information. The overall CPU Market Share number also includes both IoT and SoC numbers which are not included in th

I would imagine most of the very large companies have a treasury group that's managing their excess cash etc and that those people are probably offering lots of opinions on general economic direction. Couple that with contact with lots

Maybe its better in some programming languages, but my experience with verilog/systemVerilog output is that it generates a design with flaws almost every time (but very confidently). If you try to correct it with prompting it comes up

No, that tweet predates the more recent ban tweet by 2 days. I just checked and ElonJet and a couple of the other accounts definitely show as suspended/banned to me.

I know you're acknowledging you're joking. For those who do find themselves bothered by this kind of thing, these projects are almost always a few layers deep on what they're actually researching. I would assume this is more

Definitely not saying that its all smoke and mirrors. Purdue is a great school for a lot of semiconductor related topics and there are a number of scholars I respect who work there (I did not attend that university). What I mean is just tha

No I agree with that, I was looking at the 2020 peak to 2021 peak magnitude on the Boston Area plots and the same relative magnitude on the SCC plots and being somewhat surprised at how much of a difference there was between the two locatio
