I don't think Pacal variants are very common in education anymore. BASIC was also pretty big in education on account of also being developed for that...

Maybe I'm just a luddite, but I've never seen much of a point in moving to CMake or Meson other than to be able to boast about how you've adopted something...

[L_A_G]

I don't think the entry fee and the minimum sales figure are quite high enough to really weed out the shovelware. If you're making less than $1000 each...

When it launched it was pretty terrible on an i7 950 and a GTX 970. A few months after launch when I went in for a second play trough it played remarkably...

One of the first thoughts that came to my mind when I saw the trailer was if there was going to be a Linux port like the main game. Good to hear that...

[L_A_G]

The Rift also had OSX support that they dropped before the consumer version came out so it's not like simply not bothering with Linux support is the only...

[L_A_G]

Well this could be somewhat worrying if it's not just a software bug... From what I've understood Ryzen is supposed to do some pretty aggressive runtime...

I probably shouldn't have paid launch prices for my 1700, but damn it's good to see real competition in the CPU arena once again because I don't think...

Seem to make? Once again the top 500 rankings list theoretical performance, not actual performance in real world supercomputing applications.

Seeing how we've already seen the performance of the exact CPU cores in action I'd be more curios as to the performance of the Frontier Edition GPUs that...

Interconnects really don't eat that much silicon space or power. On-die interconnect capability isn't even that big of an issue when most CPU-to-CPU interconnect...

[L_A_G]

Not sure if you're actually trying to make a point or if you're just randomly droning on trying to sound very knowledgeable. I never claimed that AMD...

[L_A_G]

You brought up the embedded market as whole, not the higher end in which ARM has competed with Atom, and mentioned MIPS, which is generally used towards...

[L_A_G]

This coupled with the fact that the "pro" model has a hard launch date in late June makes me suspect there really is something to the rumors...

[L_A_G]

Embedded is a bit beside the point... An embedded system running a wrist watch or a thermostat generally don't really to need any of the advances that...

[L_A_G]

When compared to the total sales of general purpose CPUs everything looks marginal by comparison. Even the sales of general purpose CPUs for compute looks...

[L_A_G]

The main reason GPGPU is a niche area is because effective use of GPGPU APIs still requires a rather significant re-write of existing applications and...
