@Mokubai Today's equivalent would be a Core i3-6100, 8 gigs of RAM, a 500 GB budget SSD, and a GTX 960. They should write their game to run on that.

Would now be a bad time to mention that I've been fantasizing about starting to develop a game that would require hardware virtualization, several CPUs, and enough RAM for a few solid machines?

@BenN a game that requires virtualization? how does that work? O_o

It would be a simulator of the job of an IT director, with real machines running in VMs that you need to manage
The game could manage all the resources with the Hyper-V APIs and connect the player to them with (undocumented but existent) RDP-like controls
It would also be the geekiest game ever

@bwDraco you shouldn't be paranoid if you know you haven't done anything that could potentially be a crime, but if you know that the law would have grounds to tie you up for something you've done, maybe you should be very careful about where you leave evidence for it

Some thoughts about AMD's new Zen processors. From the engineering samples that have surfaced, it seems that they're hitting 2.8-3.2 GHz on eight cores at 95W and on four cores at 65W.
 
Bob
Bob
Ubuntu ⊂ Linux
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
Consider that Intel's HEDT processors, including the i7-6900K (3.2-3.7 GHz), are rated for 140W.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Lol.
 
Bob
Bob
baaaack to brick washing
@JourneymanGeek gonna go buy a face mask soon-ish
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
Also, AMD's chips are SoCs (AM4 boards have no northbridge or southbridge), which puts them at a 5-10W power disadvantage compared to Intel, which does not use SoC designs for full-power desktop parts (there's a separate PCH).
 
oldmud0
oldmud0
3:48 AM
See? Intel knows how to do things.
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
The tech demo shown yesterday had a 8C/16T Summit Ridge chip running at 3.0 GHz. Bear in mind that the 2.8-3.2 GHz clocks are for very early ES chips, which means that the 3.0 GHz number is probably still at 95W.
 
oldmud0
oldmud0
AMD engineers look like they're doing the "hip" thing and turning their processors into SoCs.
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
Consider that there's just a 30W difference between the 4C/8T and 8C/16T ES chips.
That means that the cores themselves are probably using about 60W on the 8C part.
 
oldmud0
oldmud0
I mean SoCs are nice for the cheap $200 laptops right?
I wonder if/when a manufacturer will ever try ARM...
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
This means that they have plenty of thermal headroom to raise clocks further. If anything, if AMD is targeting 140W for production chips, they can probably hit higher clocks then Intel.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
3:51 AM
@bwDraco I'll believe it when I see it. I hope they pull it off tho.
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
That tech demo was probably cherry-picked a bit to favor the AMD part ever so slightly, so they probably have slightly lower IPC than Broadwell-E overall.
 
oldmud0
oldmud0
since when did higher clocks equate to better performance
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
Would be nice to see a fire lit under intel in the desktop side of things
@oldmud0 until the late 90 :p
 
oldmud0
oldmud0
Whatever. There is consistent progression in CPU technology. Things just get better.
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
Given that the AMD part has the potential to hit higher clocks inside the same thermal envelope...
that difference in IPC is likely to be moot.

oldmud0

bwDraco
bwDraco
My point is that AMD seems to be getting some really insane power numbers despite being at a technical disadvantage (the integrated southbridge comes at a ~5W cost that Intel isn't paying). This points to some very, very impressive performance per watt.
 
oldmud0
oldmud0
Oh that's nice.

@Bob ^^
 
bwDraco
bwDraco
4:04 AM
I'm not sure how much power the Intel part is pulling at the lower clocks used in the tech demo (full Turbo speed with all eight cores under load should be around 3.5 GHz at 140W), but 3.0 GHz at a 45W delta (effectively ~50W due to the SoC design) means that AMD can probably hit similar or slightly higher clocks within the same power limit.
@allquicatic Might be the first game I'm going to get early access for...
Given that the Wraith cooler is rated for 125W, AMD will probably hit 3.2+ GHz base clocks at this slightly lower TDP.
Another data point: AMD says that Zen has the same power consumption per clock as Excavator has, which is considerably lower than Steamroller-based Athlon desktop CPUs (case in point: Athlon X4 880, 2M/4T @ 4.0-4.2 GHz in 28nm, has 95W TDP).
The 4C/8T Zen engineering sample runs at 2.8-3.2 GHz with a TDP of 65W. This suggests (but does not guarantee) that final Zen quad-core chips will be able to run well in excess of 4 GHz inside of 95W, delivering performance comparable to Skylake inside a nearly identical power envelope.
Price will be a huge factor here; even if AMD falls slightly short of Intel's best, AMD is likely to charge less than Intel for similar performance which means that "Chipzilla" will be getting some serious competition.
Bear in mind that I'm speculating here. We'll only know for sure when we see benchmark results from final, retail parts.
Good night, folks.

bwDraco
bwDraco
> This project has yielded the most visible swings in clock performance that we've yet seen from a liquid cooling mod, and has revealed significant thermal throttling in the reference nVidia Titan XP design. What's more, this card will not feature the market saturation created by AIB partners with lower end cards, and so more advanced coolers do not seem to be available without going open loop or DIY.
Ouch.
 
Bob

@allquicatic o.O
 
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
5:44 AM
for all practical purposes which a video card is used for , not for benchmarks and the extreeme games which just need better optimisation, a card that is too fast for its cooling, or power, could still work fine in reality. Find the happy zone it works good at and stays reasonable in temperatures, then when that Hard to render moment comes up, it gets thhrough that at more than 15FPs and then you go on.
 
allquicatic
allquicatic
@bwDraco Disappointing, but is it really surprising? We're talking about the biggest and fastest single-GPU ever launched, to date. And one that was apparently somewhat rushed to launch. If they used a similar cooling design to the 1080, you can expect a much hungrier card to exceed the dissipation limits of the cooler.
oh well, at least there's an actual solution :)
most people who'd buy that card will want to spend the time and money to hook up a liquid cooler and solve the problem once and for all
 
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
not everything is a benchmark, be it cpu or gpu, or a laptop that cant keep up with either of its coolings. having the speed during short needs, is still useful.
take some of the testing they do, now who needs 16X AA on a 4k screen? :-)
really once you get real pixels and real resolution, some of the cheap trix dont need to be turned on anymore for thier testing examples.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
@Psycogeek i wouldn't say no to turning everything up to 11 on a UHD screen if the price was right
and I'm pretty certain UHD will be the 'standard' with 1080p on the lower end within a few years
 
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
6:08 AM
assuming a game was at 4K resolutions , not just on a 4K monitor, do you see stairstepping of sharp edges still?
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
usually no, assuming there's no tearing
 
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
then asotropic filtering, was kinda like rendering something at 4X resolution then displaying it nicely interpolated back at the regular HD resolution. that might still be useful, but like AA wasnt it more designed for the problem of pixels is pixels, and there were not enough compared to a human eye
 
Psycogeek
Psycogeek
6:29 AM
on the trottling, if your already peaking out your video card capability be it rendering cooling or power, before you have completed the tutorials :-) then it is likely you didnt adjust the game settings for the game and video card right. when they turn on the heat, your going to get terrible frame rates.
pre-anticipating that things will always get worse , i always set my settings for the game and card, with much headroom. I hate low frame rates, like lower than 30. I dont even like much the 24FPS rates for movies.
 
Journeyman Geek
Journeyman Geek
6:42 AM
that sounds like super sampling.

assuming the whole game is being rendered at 4x :-) might just not need some of the features that combined costs a lot of power.

@John tried playing in a borderless window? tried monitoring your GPU temps and making sure it's not throttling? tried updating graphics drivers, BIOS/UEFI, motherboard drivers, running Disk Cleanup, checking to make sure you have enough free RAM, making sure you don't have any background processes eating a CPU core, ...? gotta try things, it could be anythin
hell, upgrading to Windows 10 might help; new version of WDDM and the upgrade or reinstall process will wipe out old drivers

Probably it's a virus, but I'll try to measure the temperature. @allquicatic

@John I see absolutely no reason to assume it's a "virus" without any evidence

Well, I scanned my computer and I found some threats, but probably because the Antivirus is outdated, it didn't find it. @allquicatic
I'll try to download Aida 64, to check any hardware-related issues.

@Rahul2001 Nice and simple. But the blue line under the "Published..." is not long enough ... and the other pages have a different theme.

@BenN It's a responsive design. A different version of the comic is loaded on narrow screens.

Responsive web design
Responsive web design (RWD) is an approach to web design aimed at allowing desktop webpages to be viewed in response to the size of the device one is viewing with. A site designed with RWD adapts the layout to the viewing environment by using fluid, proportion-based grids, flexible images, and CSS3 media queries, an extension of the @media rule, in the following ways: The fluid grid concept calls for page element sizing to be in relative units like percentages, rather than absolute units like pixels or points. Flexible images are also sized in relative units, so as to prevent them from displaying...

@bwDraco Ah, screen width as well. It depends on a few things: explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1037:_Umwelt

Looks like it mainly uses the source IP.

@Rahul2001 It's not normal to have things move on hover - unless you want to deliberately have that effect ...
