    Didn't see one of these, so I'm making one. Post your nerdy tech shit here!

    I'll start with a cross post from SB. Because I can.

    With the threadripper gen 2 launch AMD now has the fastest consumer CPUs in the world... with a catch.


    It's fast as hell, but don't buy one for gaming.

    Oh look, not what I was talking about.

    It was moved to open source and most of it is moved to CPU.

    It's almost like that wasn't my fucking point you piece of human trash.

    I said that, no matter how bad the CPU optimization is, it can gain performance with more clockspeed and IPC. That was literally the entirety of my posts on the topic.

    Dude, you started trying to imply that Moore's law is alive and well.

    Transferred into some inane shit about programming efficiencies, then plunked down a bunch of graphs - ostensibly about the importance of CPU gains - while arguing that GPU's are now unimportant because modern processors have a ton of cores. That was the substance of your BS.

    And then you pick at details and buzzwords.

    I'm going to go find and read a nice white paper on Ryzen's architecture and then spend all night dealing with brain killing web dev bull if my children don't wake up screaming at me again.

    Good luck with the inconsolable internet rage.

    >moore's law
    >CPU performance gain

    That isn't the same thing. Ever. It has never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever been the same thing.

    Making effective IPC gains slower than they would be otherwise.

    To show that there are still gains even in spite of poor programming.

    Quote me saying this.

    Can you go even a single sentence without spewing lies?

    Guess not.

    You're a web developer? No wonder you don't know shit.
