sprocket,
qlp, I think Intel flew a little too close to the Sun with their latest generation, high-end Core processors (in order to power the chips, I suppose) and enabled motherboard manufacturers to shove it into the Sun.
Anandtech: Intel Issues Official Statement Regarding 14th and 13th Gen Instability, Recommends Intel Default Settings
qlp, In the early benchmarks that Intel used to show how well the high-end Core processors performed against AMD high-end Ryzen's processors, it seems like Intel pushed the limits of how much power to feed the processors.
As a means of trying to outdo each other (or even boards within their own lineup), motherboard manufacturers shipped out boards with default power settings set to 11, exacerbating the issue.
Trying to dump the same amount of power normally used by larger GPU chips into a relatively small socket and die is a recipe for disaster.

In this blog post, we dig into this computer that didn't last long on the market but still gained a dedicated, if small, following. It's rare and valuable today. #RetroComputing https://dfarq.homeip.net/interact-home-computer-from-1978/

tony_394c6b6b, @schizanon I would like to see it evolve into virtualization on top of riscv, if possible.

Nonilex, #Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said #POTUS #Biden is pushing him to get new federally funded chip factories up & running….
“He wants it bigger, he wants it sooner,” Gelsinger said.

Nonilex, “If you go to #Columbus …we have thousands of #construction #workers on the site today.” Gelsinger said he’s had “many conversations” w/ #OpenAI CEO #SamAltman about building up the #SupplyChain for #AI #chips & he expects to produce…at #Intel’s #Ohio facility.
#Gelsinger called the package of grants & supports for #US #chipmakers “the most important… #industrial #policy since WWII,” saying that the program was necessary if the #UnitedStates is to #compete….

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxGuNJ-nEYgAnyway, I've added a CW now.
scy, @srslypascal Okay, that's astonishing.
Still, without any context, the first video is not something I would link as a reply meme in a completely unrelated thread.
chx, Intel finally answered to the criticism of their thunderbolt-utils announced last summer https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2dab15ba-efd0-97cb-dfde-fa6f9d05f5fb@linux.intel.com/and torn apart soon after https://www.youtube.com/live/3ysBj4cRU5c
What do you think the answer is? Better C code? A rewrite in Python?
Nope. They deleted the repo.
chx, Even better, it seems someone surfaced that video to /g/ on February 24 and ... even that thread is 404 now.
I really would like to understand what has happened here.

wimleers, @chx 🤯🤔
Linux_Is_Best, 2 new toys are on the way.
Dell T3600 motherboard (replacement)
Dell T3610 system with an E5-1650 v2
I thought about adding another E5-1660 v2 like my other T3610, but suddenly they have gone up in price and at almost the cost of an AMD Ryzen, by comparison. It would be silly to pay that much for a small 0.1 Ghz boost gain.
I also considered a E5-2673 v2, but I cannot find anyone who used it with a Dell T3610 and so I am uncertain about the compatibility. 🤔
Linux_Is_Best, During the pandemic, I needed a new system, but due to high demand and a global limited supply, prices at the time were insane. By insane, I recall even a "cheap" SSD drive going for nearly 300 bucks and video cards going for around 1000. Prices were far too inflated to justify new, when I knew they would come back down (which they did).
That is how I got into second hand pre-builds systems. You have these data centers looking to offload old workstations and servers for cheap.
chikorita157, @Linux_Is_Best Yes, GPU prices and pretty much anything that uses semiconductors were expensive during the pandemic because everyone needed computers and of course there are the Cryptominers that were buying up all the GPUs, which is why I was stuck with a Geforce GTX 980 Ti and a Vega 56 for a long time, before I got a RX 7900 XTX.
DDR5 RAM was really expensive due to the small supply in 2022, but of course it went down in price since then along with SSD pricing, which has plunged, but going up a little bit from its lows.
gabrielesvelto, It's Monday morning and I've already found what looks like a CPU bug in #Intel Raptor Lake CPUs (the very first stepping of that line to be precise) which cause a crash in #Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1882015

And they say capitalism is efficient. 😒
gabrielesvelto, @argv_minus_one @yashasolutions don't forget that while Mozilla Corporation is a regular enterprise, it's entirely owned by a non-profit foundation. It has literally no stakeholders it must pay dividends to, so it's a particularly silly situation.

itsfoss, Intel's processor naming changes aren't very easy to understand.
nazokiyoubinbou, @itsfoss Seriously, what is even going on with this? When I ask people what they have and they tell me "oh it's an Intel i7" I'm like "ok, but that literally tells me nothing." People complain that AMD included a few previous gen chips in newer generation numbering systems, but at least they are special cases (embedded/laptop/etc.) Intel you have to know which generation is which and how it stacks to modern ones or google benchmarks for every single one just to know what it is...

HPC_Guru,
ProjectPhysX, This is wild: #FluidX3D can "SLI" together 🔵 #Intel Arc A770 + 🟢 #Nvidia Titan Xp, pooling 12GB+12GB of their VRAM for one large 450M cell #CFD simulation. Top half on A770, bottom half on Titan Xp. They seamlessly communicate over PCIe. Performance is ~1.7x of what either #GPU could do on its own. 🖖😋🖥🔥
#OpenCL shows its true power here - one implementation works on literally all GPUs at full performance, even at the same time. Happy #SimulationFriday!

jeze3D, The Intel Pentium II Slot 1 Processor. (1997)
This would be my first processor in a computer I'd assemble myself. It's my all time favorite and most nostalgic CPU. I'll always adore the Slot 1 design and the, at the time, simplicity of installation.
Intel would go on to launch their most aggressive ad campaign to date featuring the now famous "bunny suit" dancers.

gregorni, So according to Intel their latest lineup of mobile CPUs is the biggest jump in laptop CPU development of their entire history.
They're getting absolutely destroyed by AMD's current generation laptop chips.

noahjunior10, @gregorni thanks for the insight. I have an Intel 1280p on an X1 carbon. AMD modelled laptops I always find on laptop designs that don't suit my use case, and coupled with my heavy use of thunderbolt has always meant AMD is never an option, so I've not tried it in recent times. I can't consider Apple either as it won't fit my core needs
gregorni, @noahjunior10 Yeah, all the well-designed laptops are from Intel, that' true. But I believe the Thunderbolt-for-AMD situation will improve with USB4 as that should be universal.
