I'm also using xfce but KDE is more user friendly(apple or windows-like) and the compositor can be disabled which is the #1 source of input latency To add on the discussion, I found Athlon 64 on Win2000 being extremely snappy and actually scored higher in most benchmarks than XP (I also tried...

@r0ach I know this is way too late, but I've noticed some of the issues you mention here and there. The solution is to switch to Linux and disable the desktop compositor (KDE or xfce4) and force-disable vsync and VRR Trust me, even typing feels laggy on Windows 10 after you try this, even on a...

The weirdest part about that era I remember was that Windows and MS office menu drop-down animations were smooth on Pentium but horribly laggy on Athlon XP/64

Windows XP and 7 are extremely responsive compared to W8 and newer versions No desktop compositor and overlays, the difference is huge when I dualboot from Linux to W10, even typing text has a delay compared to Linux or W7

Let me try to justify why I mentioned this earlier. It was not about Nvidia but AMD catching up in performance per area 1. Foundries have 300mm wafers, they are cut into parts which we call dies, the dies have a physical limit (YES I KNOW there is a new method to use the full wafer, but no...

Oh...I thought it was the other way with 5080 being cut down 5090....then that's another L for AMD and they should have priced it even less That's only perf per watt

The MOST important take from this release, 5070Ti and 9070XT have the same die size. IF the performance figures are accurate...they finally reached parity in performance/area/power with nvidia (last time was 10+ years ago) Although to be honest, nvidia didn't advance much since 3xxx series I...

11% Vs 18% is a huge difference, 11% could be sample variance while 18% is more solid To keep in spirit with the math in the thread, you are overestimating the gains by 70% We don't know if the same power target is kept, what if the extra 11% is from increased TDP??? Also what @Tek-Check is...

Nova Lake was derived from Supernova which happens when it hits over 88 MPH CPU utilization %

Nothing generates clicks like a thumbnail and a title in the form of "[insert great product] sucks - and here's why" or "THE BIG FLAW WITH [insert popular product]" or "AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Boosts up to 3.10 GHz"(but that's barely +5% VS 6000 series) Even though AMD announced that they pulled...

I mean, of course :D But you can take the 150W and put it into the core or keep the power draw reasonable

The GPU market is really sad since the pandemic+AI boom. We went from new GPU architecture with lower power or higher performance and similar prices every 12-18 months to new GPUs(not necessarily arch) every 18-36 months with same or lower performance but the new GPUs can render 720p much...

I bet HBM could save 150W on this one

The timing of his comment sounds like Pat wanted to do a Zen move by going back to the drawing board and build a new arch from scratch or maybe a new process node Some people may have made fun of Pat gelsinger but the guy was an engineer Now this guy is taking a shot at that, thinking what he...

Someone in general - not fun. Intel - extremely fun!
