    tone503773 reacted to patrickjp93 in Intel: Chips To Become Slower But More Energy Efficient   
    Our current processors aren't even remotely being pushed to their limits in consumer and prosumer workloads. A 4790K at full tilt on all 4 cores is capable of (4 cores * 256bits wide/32 bits of precision * 2 operations per cycle * 4.2*10^9 cycles per second = ) 268.8 Gigaflops or Gigainops for integer work. Do you operate under the delusion that most software we run actually pushes this chip? Most bottlenecks we see in software today come from bad coding and forced legacy support over allowing newer instructions to do the same work faster. We are far from screwed. The innovation will continue, and performance will increase even if clock speeds don't. Kaby Lake and Cannonlake will also double consumer compute power once again with AVX 512. It's up to software makers to program well enough to take advantage of SIMD instructions like AVX, period.

    As an American this is bullshit. Don't give us such piss poor education if you want us to be competitive with the world.

    So after disappearing for a little of over a month (my wife gave birth...) I'm back!
    I'm back with a little something different - a video overview of the Hex Gear R40 case. I've never done one of these kinds of videos before so cut me a little slack
    Hope you enjoy, and from here the build will be moving full steam ahead!

    I see what you did there  . My point is that all the flagship phones are around 5" (except iPhone) or even 6" like nexus 6 which is just ridiculous. Imo a 4.7" screen is the perfect size.

    4.3" ? YES PLEASE! Stop the giant display bullshit.

    INTEL 5820K GIVEAWAY DECEMBER 19-26
     
    Our friends over at Intel have been generous enough to provide us with 2 Core i7 5820K 6-Core Processors to give away to the community! Think of it as an awesome holiday present from Intel to the community
     
    How do I enter?
    Leave a comment below to enter the draw. One comment (entry) per user.
     
    This is a worldwide giveaway.
     
    Also, please mention in your comment what you would do with the processor if you were to win this giveaway! (This will not affect who wins in any way - winners are chosen at random, this is just a way to add a bit of cool community interaction to the contest) Are you a budding streamer or video editor who will use the extra cores for multi-tasking? Would this chip act as the missing piece for a set of workstation components that you've been eyeing?
     
    UPDATE 12/27/2014:
     
    The winners of this giveaway are:
     
    La Jolla Orca
     
    and
     
     
    elan2468
     
    Both of you should have a message from me in your inbox.
     
    Congrats to our winners, and thank you all for entering!
