Intel vs. TSMC – Rivalitatea continuă cu noile tehnologii 18A și N2

Intel pregătește o revenire spectaculoasă pe piața procesoarelor, mizând pe noul proces de fabricație 18A, care, potrivit surselor din industrie, ar fi mai eficient decât alternativa oferită de TSMC, N2. Această mișcare strategică nu doar că reconsolidează poziția Intel în competiția cu TSMC, dar și evidențiază inovațiile tehnologice pe care compania americană le aduce în peisajul procesoarelor…

having a day where i just want to give up on literally everything

[daemonhxckergrrl]

watching anyone do modern things on old hardware and like yes sometimes that hardware is slow bc it was a bad product even at the time, but damn you're just showing how shit modern software is. like not being funny but i should be able to load the videos website on a single core cpu and i should be able to watch 480p, maybe even 720p flawless w/ some graphics acceleration. heck even 1080p if the OS is light enough

will never get over how my old computer, which has a 3 GHz 8-core processor, 16 GBs of RAM, and decent enough graphics card, couldn't upgrade to windows 11 because the processor was "too old" (it's from like 2017ish), but this fucking all-in-one i'm setting up (but most likely am going to use as a spare monitor for said old computer) is running on a pentium silver processor and is running windows 11. what the fuck

Addressing Mode In Microprocessor !

#NeedToKnow: Addressing Mode In Computer

Addressing modes in microprocessors determine how the operands of an instruction are specified. They define various ways to access operands, such as data or addresses, for instructions. Different addressing modes provide flexibility and efficiency in programming. Here are some common addressing modes found in microprocessors: Immediate Addressing: In immediate addressing, the operand is…

Will take place on December 14 Intel has already announced that it will introduce Meteor Lake processors on December 14, but only now has it announced the corresponding event.  [caption id="attachment_78904" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Core i. Intel[/caption] On this day, Core Ultra will replace Core i. Intel announced the AI ​​Everywhere event It's called AI Everywhere, and the name clearly tells us that Intel will place a lot of emphasis on AI when announcing new CPUs. Let us remind you that Meteor Lake will be the first Intel consumer processors with a hardware unit to accelerate AI. Some mobile Ryzen 7040 APUs already have a similar solution, but so far for most users this is a meaningless part of the CPU. However, according to multiple leaks, a big emphasis on AI will be placed in Windows 12, so perhaps then all these processors will reveal a new side.  At the agreed event, Intel will also present Xeon Scalable processors of the Emerald Rapids generation.

If my uni license for creo lasted more than a semester and it actually ran on my good pc that's optimised for cad and it didn't need constant internet access to work I'd be making so much cool robot art right now >:|

what should i code on my minecraft computer

i am planning to code:

snake

conway's game of life

bad apple

i am NOT coding:

doom

minecraft

geometry dash

anything that requires heavy usage of multiplication (i only have an ALU and a shifter)

So i made sunkyfied xilog...

His name is mips cause xilog is named after a cpu so mips is named after a cpu architecture :P

Hes not xilogs son hes just an entity that happens to look a lot like xiggy

He sometimes follows xilog around sonics biggest fan style and repeats after him but turns his sentences into memes or speaks like a ytp

[piratesexmachine420]

I want to write an OS that uses a GPGPU as the primary processor and the CPU for graphics acceleration/framebuffer management. This would solve no problems, run up against numerous architectural constraints, and run horribly; but the willful inversion of technical norms tickles me.

Yo, Welcome to my photography blog!

This is a photography project with a focus on older digital cameras sold before the mid 2000s. I've been working with these sorts of cameras since 2022, which grew from my interest in retro computers that I have had since 2020 or so. Here, I'll introduce you to my cameras, my computer rig, and try to convince you that this is a cool hobby.

General Q & A:

Whats in the name? - Kb refers to Kilobyte, all of the photos I take with these cameras only take up a little over 100 Kilobytes of digital storage per photo. FD refers to the physical media the photos are stored in, currently one camera uses floppy disks (FD), the other two use compact flash (CF) and smart media (SM) cards. unfortunately, their shortened forms do not rhyme and so they do not matter.

What can I expect from this blog? - amateur photography using old cameras, I guess. I'll say some nonsense below each photo but you're free to ignore it. I don't plan on reblogging anything here, so don't expect that. I am the star of this blog. me me me. I tend towards finding weird buildings/architecture, "liminal spaces", sunsets, and generally trying to see how well I can make a photo look like a blender render in a Kane pixels video. don't expect any consistency, though. the medium will remain the same but the vibes will absolutely fluctuate with my mood. I'll try and tag things correctly if it's off putting.

Are you a cool person? - I tend to be! I don't want this place to be alienating for anybody but assholes who don't deserve to see the stuff I do. being a tumblr blog, I follow a lot of the standard stuff. jerks are not welcome and I'm not gonna give you the pleasure of an argument if you do turn your head round these parts.

who are you? - trans pan girl. takes pictures. listens to Femtanyl. much unlike Peter Parker.

My Cameras

Mavica FD-7

released in 1997, this was the second of Sony's "Digital Mavica" line of cameras. it records photos of around 50Kbs in size to a standard 3 1/2" floppy disk. it has some standard features like a manual focus wheel, 10x optical zoom, and exposure control. I haven't found a strict source but I believe this camera is less than one megapixel. I actually have a few different Mavica cameras (a fd-71/75/83/85/87 and a cd-1000) but they aren't different from the fd-7 enough to justify being used often. I'll make note on individual posts if I use 'em at all.

Kodak DC220

released in 1999, with a quality of exactly one megapixel the DC 220 is a weird little thing. it has custom software, connects to a computer via com ports with a transfer speed of ~11,000 bit/s. (roughly 30-60 seconds per photo in my experience) you can add custom text to your photos in the cameras built in software, and attach custom audio to each photo. it is a pain in the butt to get working, but it's quirks make it worth the frustration.

Olympus E-10

made in 2000 with a quality of a whopping four megapixels, the Olympus E-10 is the newest addition to my collection, and possibly the nicest camera I'll ever own. it's a fixed lens DSLR camera capable of 4x zoom, you can easily adjust the aperture and exposure on the fly, it's photos tend to be a whole 100kb in size (1/10th of a megabyte!) and to be entirely honest I have no idea how to use it. but I will eventually!

My Computer

I try to use all era-appropriate tech to transfer photos and do any edits, this is the computer I do all that processing on! its a Dell Optiplex gx1- the daddy of pretty much any computer used in public schools (Chromebooks don't count) It's got a Pentium 3 CPU clocking at 500MHz, 512mb ram, running windows ME. it has all the original Kodak DC220 software installed, and I can't really access the Kodak's photos any other way. I've also got a few other weird bits attached to it -an HP sketch pro cad tablet and an external data cartridge SCSI device. both work, but I don't really bother to use them, they just look neat.

that's about it. have a good one! thanks for reading this all, if you did.

Announcement of new items is expected in October The Core i9-14900K processor appeared in Geekbench, and now this result can be compared with the Core i9-13900K and other CPUs. [caption id="attachment_52345" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Core i9-14900K[/caption] The novelty scores 3120-3140 points in single-threaded mode and about 19,100 points in multi-threaded. In the first case, this is about 6% more than its predecessor, and even a little more than the Core i9-13900KS, and in the second, even less than the Core i9-13900K, but this may well be since the testing conditions are not are identical. In a fresh test, the Core i9-14900K managed to lose to the Core i9-13900K in multi-threaded mode [caption id="attachment_52346" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Core i9-14900K[/caption] In general, technically, the Core i9-14900K should be a complete copy of the Core i9-13900KS with a frequency of 6 GHz out of the box. The configuration of the cores is the same here, the architectures are the same, so the results should be as close as possible. Let us remember that in CPU-Z the new CPU managed to outperform its predecessor by 8–10%.

🎄💾🗓️ Day 7: Retrocomputing Advent Calendar - Altair 8800🎄💾🗓️

The Altair 8800 was one of the first commercially successful personal computers, introduced in 1975 by MITS, and also one of the most memorable devices in computing history. Powered by the Intel 8080 CPU, an 8-bit processor running at 2 MHz, and initially came with 256 bytes of RAM, expandable via its S-100 bus architecture. Users would mainly interact with the Altair through its front panel-mounted toggle switches for input and LEDs for output.

The Altair 8800 was popularized through a Popular Electronics magazine article, as a kit for hobbyists to build.

It was inexpensive and could be expanded, creating a following of enthusiasts that launched the personal computer market. Specifically, it motivated software development, such as Microsoft's first product, Altair BASIC.

The Altair moved from hobbyist kits to consumer-ready personal computers because of its modular design, reliance on the S-100 bus that eventually became an industry standard, and the rise of user groups like the Homebrew Computer Club.

Many of ya'll out there mentioned the Altair 8800, be sure to share your stories! And check out more history of the Altair on its Wikipedia page -
