A cost-cut version that still beats intel's best is amusing, and sets the stage to just compete on price when intel does something vaguely competitive...

The typos exist so the weird grammar nazi cult that exists here has something to bitch about. They love bitching about it, he's just keeping them ent...

Dropping MI50 are they off their rocker? Guess that means all Vega are on the way out. I take it RDNA is still in a piss poor shape. So the remaining...

They are complying with an open standard spec aka zstd, so what's the problem?...

By page I meant the minimum access width of RAM which is typically 64 bytes. I assume CPU cache lines tend to be 64 too but either way, my understanding...

Possibly they've chosen level naming based on the similar ranges of parameters they work with as a search space. Meaning intel level 9 may more selectively/smartly...

The screenshot shows 2 bytes of implicit padding between stx_mode and stx_ino for stx_ino to be aligned to u64. Not just a waste of space (irrelevant...

It would allow a bcachefs implementation built using FUSE to use statx to implement birth times. It has no bearing on the bcachefs implementation queued...

If FS-level compression/dedupe/redundancy doesn't get your motor running then there is no need. I wish BTRFS could do extension-based compression because...

Do you think about Oscar Pistorius's medals or that time he killed his girlfriend in a bout of roid rage? Chris Benoit was a beloved WWF wrestler but...

What an idiotic take. That's how it's done....

This sounds like one of those things that in a decade will be generally regarded as a bad move, but I'm not qualified enough to determine how much of...

The sane choices for mersenne prime hunting are prime95 on cpu or gpuowl on gpu.

If FSR3 needs game support it'll be a decade before enough games support it for anyone but the most niche gamer to care. Raytracing is still on my do...

As a former Ubuntu user that switched in large part due to snaps, I really hope Redhat doesn't continue the CentOS trend and somehow screw up Fedora....

I would pick soldered ram at 7500 speed over non soldered at 5600 which is where sodimm's are currently at. You're not going to be able to upgrade sodimm...

The hell do mersenne primes have to do with browser choice....
