All very well that FP addition is hard, but surely a fused-multiply-add is strictly harder than either an addition or a multiplication and Haswell can pull off two of those per cycle

@ChrisPowell there is a tradition of writing GB (etc) when actually using the binary scale, in that sense it is common to use GBs when talking about a RAM size. But that's quite something different than actually using GBs.

@ChrisPowell there is no conversion. RAM sticks don't come in power of ten sizes, the actual size was already 8GiB to begin with.

Horn and ivory may also be metal substitutes sometimes.
