To understand the physical theory for why semiconductors are semiconductors, yes, you need to be quantum mechanical, but semiconductor electronics isn't really that quantum mechanical. The main physics of transistors is just normal physics. this helped and now i get it, thank.

psiox posted:a friend pointed me at https://www.logicalincrements.com and i love the format (not that i have another reference point for its accuracy) it deeply annoys me that every tier, including the ridiculously expensive ones, think you should get a spinny harddrive and an intel 660p nvme ssd. the 660p is great, but it is great because it is incredibly cheap (less than a hundred bucks a terabyte), making a spinny harddrive for storage unnecessary if you're willing to spend a very modest bit of extra money. but its obviously then also one of the slowest nvme ssd's, so it makes no sense whatsoever not to get something faster if you're spending the kind of money the lower half of the table suggests.

i really do hope that amd does manage to kill off reserving ecc as a "pro" feature. intel is bound to find a way to overprice the xeon line again, but it'd be real nice to have ecc trickle into the mainstream. if nothing else to make rowhammer-style attacks a bit harder.

dollar for dollar intel is faster for anything that isn't heavily multi-threaded, so unless you need 16 cores for excel, you're probably better off with an i5 than the equivalent priced ryzen that said, go buy whatever

possibly, that's kinda hard to know for sure. if you're several hours into a render and autocad just shits itself randomly, and it doesn't do that when using ecc, i'm going to say that's ecc saving what you're working on i've had clients doing mech eng and architectural stuff complain like crazy about that sort of thing with larger jobs, somehow it stopped when they finally started to spring for xeons w/ecc when going above 16gb of ram the higher the module density, the more likely you are to get bitflips infernal machines fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Dec 22, 2019 |

Rock solid, heart touching, bios interface is a loving mess.

a fair number of boards are now supporting chipless flashing where you just throw in a usb key and it pulls the rom off that, because of this problem.

dads friend steve posted:yah that problem is not unique to amd intel tends to switch sockets making the motherboard overtly incompatible. a bit of a thunderbolt situation where the socket reuse is in principle good, but thoroughly confusing as it is hard to tell what supports what (notably the "ryzen 3000 compatible" has been misapplied to motherboards not yet updated a lot, usual substituting according to a fixed article number).

flashing the bios on my new motherboard from usb took like a couple of minutes and was no trouble at all. total non-issue imo. obvs a lot of idiots on reddit were whining about it being too hard when zen2 first came out but what do you expect

ASUS has an unyielding commitment to innovation and quality, a fact borne out by its corporate slogan—"Inspiring Innovation • Persistent Perfection"—and the numerous media, industry and governmental accolades it receives every year.
