and it will be fishmeched again in the future. fishmeching never ends.

in secfuck news apparently bevmo was storing entire CC numbers because PCI auditors are good at their jobs.

Yes? Quickly, is 2700X better than 9700K? gently caress knows!

I dream of a world where device performance is measured in Universal Work Units or UWUs, so we can have a single metric to compare them against.

The numbering systems change between generations so you can have a higher number with lower performance (say 2060RTX vs 1080Ti) or vice versa. Usually Nvidia stays within their 50 60 70 80 system but sometimes they change that too.

well yeah that's a generation thing, 2080 Ti is more powerful than 1080 Ti. generation leaps on nvidia usually are 1 model relative shift, e.g. 2060 is equal to or better than 1070. still, both for nvidia and intel there seldom are reasons to buy previous generation consumer products

debatably, you may not even be aware of what computer parts are there and what they do. mediamart had a discount and the shop clerk was cool? bought.

that's all ignoring that this purportedly normal person will have some usecase wherein they must be able on the spot to identify the better model and cannot afford to spend 30 seconds on due dilligence googling, and that i was asking about people who regularly post in this thread and not my grandmother who won't be able to tell a difference between a cpu case and a cinderblock

except this is very untrue with the price leap in the latest nvidia generations, and the very minor performance gains of the latest intel generations

but, w/e, most people will not be comparison-shopping specific intel cpu's to start with, i'm a huge nerd and even i don't bother keeping much track

guess why i put "seldom" in there, mr. einstein. intel performance gains over last generation, however, are a reasonably stable, known quantity, and its not the problem of the cpus that average consumer cannot make full use of them

the good news is that if you were a hacker you'd have no trouble answering those questions because the possible answers are all part of complete identities they sell!
