I've already suggested swithing to a Samsung EVO SSD. He wants some 1080p (possible upgrade to 1440p) FPS gaming. Otherwise fairly standard long-life build.
@Bob If it's gaming, step up to the 1600X. The extra 400 MHz are worth the extra US$30.
(not sure what it is in Australia)
...and yes, the SanDisk SSD PLUS is crap. TweakTown's review is scathing.
Try the Samsung SSD 750 EVO instead? It's probably the best of the cheap planar TLC NAND SSDs.
> Even while filling the SSD Plus and Z410 with sequential writes the drives would drop to as low as 40MB/s, which is something we've never seen before.
> The SSD Plus and Z410 would drop to as low as 30 IOPS with an average response time of nearly 1 second for long periods of time while running our preconditioned 70/30 random mixed workload.
@Bob Slightly slower than the 850 EVO in most cases, but not noticeably so. For sustained workloads, generally better than other TLC NAND SSDs but not quite MLC level.

Mark Russinovich and Thomas Garnier released a tool called SysMon which allows logging of started processes:
Sysmon includes the following capabilities:
Logs process creation with full command line for both current and parent processes.

Backup this drive and replace immediately.

SMART 5: Reallocated_Sector_Count 1-4 keep an eye on it, more than 4 replace
SMART 187: Reported_Uncorrect 1 or more replace
SMART 188: Command_Timeout 1-13 keep an eye on it, more than 13 replace
SMART 197: Current_Pending_Sector_Count 1 or more replace
SMART 198: Offline_Uncorrectable 1 or more replace
Current Pending Sector is just that, the number of locations the disk knows about that needs to be reallocated but haven't reallocated yet since the disk has no source for the data to be reallocated. Once you write into that location the disk will automatically reallocate the area to another plac...

@Burgi I have the beginnings of an inventory system, mapped out the wifi APs... and actually have something close to a spreadhsheet of what passwords are for what
My old high school has... 1-2 full-time, +1 part-time, IT staff over ... 5 classroom-containing buildings? That's not even counting auxiliary buildings.
@Bob Yeah. Clock speeds are unclear on Skylake-X 12-18C parts. The 14C+ processors are probably using the Skylake-SP MCC die (HCC goes up to 28 cores).
The human at the other end of the chain reacted too quickly so by the time I refreshed the db, the data was already processed and I thought there was a bug XD
I was thinking about the upcoming Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X HEDT chips. Unlike previous generations of HEDT processors, they will not be based on server chips. Future Intel Xeon E5 and E7 processors are on the LGA 3647 socket shared with socketed Knights Landing (Xeon Phi) many-core processors. (In contrast, Broadwell-E chips are based on the Broadwell-EP LCC die.)
Well, I guess I was wrong.
The socket alone is not a good indication. Intel is being forced to bring advanced server silicon to the desktop.
Yes, LGA2066 is not being used for any server platform as far as I can tell.
However, it does not mean that Intel cannot use Skylake-SP dies in desktop processors.
@bwDraco They're not? Tom's Hardware lists them... idk how accurate though
If they're correct about a 2-core boost up to 4.5 GHz that'd be on par with an i7-7700k. Which means there'll be surprisingly little penalty to single-thread perf... it's just expensive.
The important thing to understand here is the fact that Intel is being forced to bring out top-flight server-class silicon to a consumer desktop platform at a competitive price due to pressure from AMD.
@bwDraco Yes, but that's Intel. Unfortunately AMD hasn't quite reached Skylake IPC yet, so it's that much harder for them to keep up in single-core even with overclocking/boosting.
@bwDraco Which is situational. I mean, it'll run most things just fine. But if at the same $ you're debating between 4 cores with lower IPC or 2 cores with higher IPC...
Right now, >8C is just a solution looking for a problem for any reasonably foreseeable consumer workload, but it's only a matter of time before mainstream games start taking advantage of these extra cores.
It's just ... not as competitive as same core count with same IPC would've been
Having to make the decision, the tradeoff... or spend more $... :(
@bwDraco "mainstream games" nope. not happening.
the processing pipeline of most game engines can't be parallelised very easily or very far - you quickly run into the limit when you have dependencies on previous steps
like maybe 10-75% of the time (depending on game) you can use all cores, but the rest of the time you're waiting on single-threaded calcs that can't be parallelised further
really depends on the game
I'd guess most games are closer to the lower end of that ratio
@bwDraco those don't help CPU-centric calcs. I'm not talking video rendering.
physics is a big one. luckily largely parallelisable.
AI is another one. this really depends on the type of AI
many many independent units? great with more cores
I know it's hard. I can see developers trying to support 16+ hardware threads, even in a limited capacity. I highly doubt they'd be able to fully utliize 36 hardware threads anytime soon.
