Yes, but everyone roots for the underdog. It makes them fell warm on the inside ...

I meant: it's not a 40% increase in IPC, it's a 40% increase if you look at one specific thing from one specific point of view. Like all performance increases...

Form Arstechnica:...

Again (and for the last time): I'm not against differentiation*, but against lumping hardware from different generations under the 8000 series.
...

[bug77]

It would have been much more honest to call these i5-7770U or something. But they don't want to appear like they adding to last year's lineup (which they...

[bug77]

I don't have much of a problem with rebranding (still, why do it instead of using the old names?). What I have a problem with, is mixing various generation...

[bug77]

No. There will be proper 8th gen chips, but they'll be put under the same 8xxx moniker as these. Just like AMD sold various generations as HD6xxx or ...

I've said it the day Ryzen was benchmarked: expect hastily assembled responses from Intel throughout 2017. It will take them at least a year to come up...

[bug77]

Yup. I don't like it when AMD mixes GPUs from various generations into a single lineup, I don't like when Intel does it with their CPUs either.

[bug77]

Fair enough. I was just referring to the title pf the article. Now we got things straight ...

Agreed, Java is going to be relevant for quite a while (with the unexpected boon of IoT being such a good match). This was all about JavaEE though....

Ok, almost one major release in 12 years. Do you know of a DB that has seen less than that? 5.0 was also "just around the corner" for years,...

MySQL 5.0 was released 12 years ago (or so). Today we're sitting on MySQL 5.7. If that's not abandonment, I don't know what is.
It's still used,...

Since Oracle got their hands on MySQL, it has seen snail-slow progress (which was always the plan - let it rot so we can push OracleDB to anyone). Naturally,...

[bug77]

That's one thing Oracle miscalculated. But whether it's MySQL or MatiaDB, neither has the popularity MySQL once had. Today it's more about PostgreSQL...

[bug77]

Oracle makes money by targeting enterprises. A programming language is just a toy for them.


Well, the truth is Oracle didn't buy Java....

Nvidia. The graph doesn't say, but it's written in one of the paragraphs near it....

[bug77]

If you need a citation for that, then you're in the wrong thread. Or maybe you think all the code analysis and optimization are simple add operations...

[bug77]

Why would it ramp up if the GPU is not pushed to the max?...

[bug77]

Nobody's trying to disprove Michael. We're just noting that either there's a regression in there or some peculiarity with the setup. Those cards are usually...
