I don't get it what people love about the GNOME desktop, the performance improvements only made it usable somewhat recently. I find the workflow KDE provides...

[ms178]

I hope this new Vulkan approach unifies the API landscape for modern hardware, app developers should invest into the Vulkan ecosystem, it gets them multi-OS...

[ms178]

I'd like to see how Nvidia/ARM handles this problem in the future, I hope there will be a unified ARM 125W max destkop platform (and maybe a smaller one...

[ms178]

I take it as a sign that Intel wants to forget Rocket Lake as soon as possible.

[ms178]

I am not a fan of significantly noticeable quality sacrifices for performance. Only if it wasn't noticeable, that would be okay. They should put more...

[ms178]

Speaking of quality, would it make sense for them to do CI/conformance/performance testing on a per merge request basis as Mesa is partly doing? I get...

I am on Haswell-EP with 12C/24T, with -80/-70/-70 mV undervolt and using a -0 AVX2 offset (and having the Turbo Boost unlock applied), I see some downclocking...

[ms178]

As there is one new test failure with RC5 over RC4, I guess there will be yet another RC before release.

[ms178]

There are a couple of highly specialized applications where AVX-512 is used already, we have seen Garlicoin here, anandtech has some other benchmars,...

[ms178]

Well, Cryptominer-Garlicoin shows great benefits. If only more software would be as optimized for AVX-512.... any idea why that particular benchmark shows...

[ms178]

I hope Crocus will be as feature rich and at least as fast as the classic driver, that would extend the usefulness of my Sandy Bridge laptop quite a bit....

[ms178]

I found Lutris to be a pain, too and as I am not very fond of fiddling with the whole Wine config mess, I very much like the ease of use of Steam games....

[ms178]

Right before the holidays, thank you Valve!

[ms178]

I still hope for more competition on the ISA-level even on the desktop to give us more choice. I wonder if ARM could come up with a desktop socket platform...

[ms178]

I faced the same issue on my old Sandybridge + 6770M laptop, what a diva that was when it came to drivers. If you do not need the iGPU you could try to...

[ms178]

As most people here, I cannot understand the fuss about mandating SSE2 which is even required in the baseline of the new x86-feature levels. As mentioned...

[ms178]

I fully agree with Michael. Also if AMD prices their CPUs like Intel, the expectations are now rising as well. While consumers might be more forgiving...

[ms178]

My Sandy Bridge notebook is still good enough for office work and if my experience doesn't regress from this split, fair enough. The experience with GPU...

[ms178]

I haven't seen the stream yet, but I definetly will take a look. Thank god that this presentation wasn't about Rocket Lake or Cascade Lake which are symbols...

"Navi is still TBD. This patch series focuses on GFXv9 because that's the IP our data center GPUs are on." - that is exactly what I feared:...
