The best use of all that speed is backups, if people could backup and restore 100GB of data in under 2 minutes they would actually make backups.

It's still an issue, but slightly smaller than semi accurate wants to make out. q series are generally not server but boring business workstations, at my work we have a bunch of Dell optiplex 7020 and hp elitedesk 800 's that are q chipsets

I'm probably going to get the 9900k but this does seem like a bad year for hardware, everything is slightly faster and 50% more expensive. I can get a 9900k for 620CAD through work so the intel tax for me is $240 compared to a 2700k with a taichi motherboard. edit: I forgot the 2700x comes with a cooler and I was getting a d15 for the intel and forgot a rebate so the intel tax is more like $380 drat.

Also tsmc is ahead because they get that apple money, which makes 75% of their business. If intel had taken apple's offer to make iphone chips they would probably be ahead now.

Siets posted:I remember Postin’ Paul saying that the 9900K was to be the fastest gaming chip for the next 5 or so years. Something about having to switch to CCX architecture and latency getting worse over the next few node shrinks. If that’s still true given the benchmarks we now have, does that make the price tag a bit easier of a pill to swallow? If you want to rationalize the price difference I’m currently using “it’s more hackintosh compatible” and “Ryzen needs more expensive ram”.

I was able to buy a 9900k yesterday and just got the shipping notice now, I just refreshed canadacomputers.com periodically yesterday and 2 came into stock. I think they came from in store stock, I could only ship it to my billing address. I did it just in time, they raised the price by $20 today.

I finally built my 9900k system over the weekend and I lost the silicon lottery again, can't do 5GHz on all cores, 4.8 is stable and 4.9 probably is too once I do some more testing.

Yep tried all the llc settings and pushed the voltage all the way to 1.39v, silicon lottery reports only 46% of 9900k can hit 5GHz.

Intels capacity problems are probably all related to 10nm being behind schedule, 10nm has at least double the density of 14nm, which means double the chips per wafer. I'm assuming wafer throughput is relatively constant regardless of process node.

The battery life was for wireless web and video, they didn’t mention battery life running benchmarks. I don’t think any laptop run more than a few hours under full load. Also my 9900k only gets 1270/12622 in R23, that’s at 4.8Ghz avx.

The m1 is still the fastest quad core processor period (I don't count the 4 power saving cores, because multithread performance is only ~4x single thread instead of ~8x like on other 8 core cpus). The m1x should be 8+4 core and murder every other 8 core cpu.

My m1 at 3.2Ghz is faster than my 9900k at 5ghz, so I'm not worried about clock speed, plus apple will have first dibs on the latest tsmc node for the foreseeable future.

I know not fair but the passive m1 handily beats the new intel space heater at JavaScript benchmarks, also you can’t seem to buy a 7nm anything right now but you can get 5nm iPhone and MacBooks easily.

It's weird that it's easy to slap a desktop cpu in a laptop, but making a new high wattage power brick is a total non starter and you have to use 2 off the shelf bricks.

I think its a great idea, the main reason I don't repurpose gaming rigs into servers is because the idle power is too much, it has to be <15W for me to run 24/7.

DrDork posted:I mean, this makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons, but you're still talking about a likely substantial portion of a die for a product already known to be aimed at "price insensitive customers" that's on a world-leading node that you had to out-bid literally the rest of the world to get. And you did so by enough that you got all the fab time. An even more optimistic view, Apple has an architectural advantage over intel and is competitive while being behind a node.

Isn’t the tpm on modern cpus now? So it would be the root of trust. Also it should be harder to extract keys from a 5nm cpu than a 28nm or whatever tpm chip.

BobHoward posted:M1 integrates a TB controller into the SoC; no external PCIe lanes to an Intel "Ridge" chip are required. I doubt that's changed in the Pro and Max versions. I'm going to post here since this thread is more technical than the mac thread. I did some simple chip math based of numbers from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count and the Jade 4C-Die is insane. The Jade 4C-Die should be roughly 228 Billion transistors and ~1695 mm2 making it the biggest consumer chip ever, double the size of the GA100 Ampere. (M1 Max transistor count * 4)/ (M1 transistor count/M1 area)
