Back when Celeron 300As ran at 450mhz. And Intel hated it. Mendocino Celerons were more of a happy accident. Intel was experimenting on trying to add on-die L2 cache. They were resulted, because they only able to cram 128KiB of it on 250nm node. Intel marketing branded them as "Celerons" ...
Jesus Christ, imi is 30. I am so very very old ...hell, I'm 33, and feel so very very old now :o Congrats, imi! And, if I'm gonna necropost in DYMT (...necroposting. In DYMT. How.), might as well keep the topic going - had delicious pizza tonight. (Mushroom, onion, jalapeno, green pepper, green oli...
Every few months or so, I peek in and see if the corpse is still shambling. Last time I looked, it looked like a small community left here, even if the site was a dead site walking. This time, I don't know why I was compelled to specifically check here - I usually talk about this stuff with a group ...
Worth noting that the license that got applied to this microcode is one that Intel has used elsewhere: The license from the microcode: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/z2F3Cj6R8Q/ The license from an Intel MIPI camera driver from 2017: https://github.com/Intel-5xx-Camera/intel-camera-adaptation/blob/maste...
Shift that a bit - Haswell/Broadwell and Skylake/Kaby Lake/Coffee Lake should have moderate impact. Westmere should have similar (higher) impact to Ivy (and Sandy) Bridge, because it has PCID. Nehalem and earlier should have very high impact, not having PCID. Also, I've seen a claim (but it was on H...
In the sense that it's being used here, "speculative execution" really means "branch prediction". (Nowadays it's often used to mean "execute both sides of the branch", but it used to just mean branch prediction 20 years ago, and I don't think anyone's actually doing it ...
On 366s, it usually required some more voltage - 2.1-2.2 V usually, stock being 2.0, as Mendocino didn't like going much over 500. My pair of 366s crashed quite quickly at 550 @ 2.0 V. Tonight's project was going to be cranking it up to 550, but the motherboard had other plans. Now, 300As or 333s, o...
Or just use polymers whenever possible, too... Which, I need to pull the Abit BP6 out of my "new" build, because, as it turns out... original Jackcon caps. There was one that looked like it miiiiiiight have been slightly bulged a week ago before I did the build. It stopped POSTing today (b...
Turbines are expensive to make and have high heat & fuel consumption compared to a reciprocating engine, not so? From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_efficiency#Internal_combustion_engines Gasoline car engine 25-50% Diesel car ~45% Turbine 46% simple cycle and 61% combined cycle ...
There are actually benefits to AWD for fuel efficiency in hybrids and especially electrics, if it's a dual or more motor setup - better control of regenerative braking, and especially on electrics, potentially better optimized gearing for efficiency - but for straight ICE, yeah, no. Thing is, though...
So, the big thing is that nitrogen oxide emissions regulations are hard for any engine that has excess air in the cylinder - heat plus the nitrogen in air plus excess oxygen equals nitrogen oxide emissions. And, NOx is a smog precursor (although in the chemistry of smog formation acts weirdly with v...
I'd really like to see Threadripper in mITX similar to one of the mITX X99 boards. It's doable but I highly doubt any of the mobo makers are seeing it as a high priority and I'd settle for mATX. Frankly my use case is niche.. compute node in a home lab at prices similar to say a bare bones *used De...
That would help, although the highest-power system I'm aware of for this is KAIST OLEV, at 100 kW. A good supplement, but you'd still need to spend time at low speed or stopped to charge. Also, in the context of endurance racing, the crown jewel of endurance racing is the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and mu...
In the case of an LMP-style electric, I'd put the battery where the engine used to be, and extend forward beside the driver. (Note that every LMP1 hybrid has had the energy storage beside the driver.) So, it'll be fully forward of the rear wheels, and you could just lift a bodywork section, and pull...
The problem with the NIO EP9 record is that it's not even a street-legal supercar. Somewhere I've seen someone pointing out that it beat the Pagani Zonda R, but if you're including street-illegal cars, that's not the car to beat . The car to beat would be the Porsche 956, which set a 6:11.13 on the ...
That's AMD's full chipset driver package, though, for all platforms. That doesn't say anything for what Ryzen supports. And, Ryzen isn't compatible with Windows 8.1 either - Microsoft made the call that 8.1 won't get Kaby Lake, Bristol Ridge, or Ryzen support, even though it's in mainstream support.
Ryzen may be "x86 compatible" but both AMD and Intel have culled older OSes from their support list, Vista was the first OS that ditched V86 mode entirely and Ryzen is officially a Windows10-only product. Actually, XP x64 and Server 2003 x64 did that before Vista. And, 32-bit versions of ...
Well with the massive cash-rich giants like Intel and Microsoft both refusing to support old OSes, I doubt AMD will have the resources or incentive to burden their new product with obsolete 16-bit legacy software support. I suspect the solution for 16-bit software is soon going to be emulation rath...
http://www.os2museum.com/wp/vme-broken-on-amd-ryzen/ This would be of rather minor importance - it's only going to affect 16-bit processes running in V86 mode on a 32-bit OS (or memory manager, JemmEx for FreeDOS being the cited one) - if it weren't for the fact that XP and Server 2003 execute the v...
http://bhtooefr.org/images/TRfur-eentry.jpg So, what you're looking at here is the future of luggable computing. ~23" 4K LCD, full RGB backlit keyboard, mouse hole in the front, RGB case fan... and a gasoline filler and an exhaust pipe? Inside, it becomes more clear what's going on. The gasoli...
Well, and then there's the DAN A4 SFX, which is one of the smallest possible cases to take a full-size graphics card, and the case's designer actually validated a cooling solution or two for 135 watt Haswell-E parts, and it's designed to keep high-end graphics cards (if they're blower-cooled, anyway...
