It's not a barrier. They can make a processor much faster. But if they do, they won't make all the money from slowly releasing CPUs that at faster and faster.

I’m pretty sure they make room for insulation in those walls.

The Pentium 4s were basically a step backwards from the Pentium 3s architecturally but Intel wanted a big number to stick on the box.

Who actually uses it any-more? There are plenty of things I hate about new phones but wireless is too good not to use.

Who is "android"?

This is the big reason why I went back to apple products after switching to android and windows in 2014. Yes everything apple is more expensive and no you can’t do everything an android phone can, but I can do everything I need to, and their product support is so much longer.

On a tangent, Ted Chiang has an incredible short story stalled The Lifecycle of Software Objects that is excellent

Considering the insulation in a typical timber frame house has an R value of 5-6 and a 200mm concrete wall has an R value of 0.3 you're looking at 16x more insulation in a regular house.

Yah, i should have worded that better.

In general, single performance per core matter,but they arent the selling point like the old days where a single core would have x.x and the rest would throttle. Idk if im explaining it right.

Also, you are 100% right, intc is chasing that, the same way amd was before the ryzen series, but as mentioned above, it wont matter as much from a few .x difference, unless the architect could actually use it. Look at the 8350, or the 9000 series amd cpus that could easily overclock, but their performance per value was lackluster since their architecture was shit. Idk if Im explaining that right, but thats what was going through my brain in my prior reaponse.

If it improves single thread performance I’m all for it.

> Personally, ghz matter little now, specially since most applications already use multiple cores and threads. Singular core stuff is more ghz related, and honestly, its good we made it past that stuff.

Single thread performance does matter.

Not everything can be multithreaded. Some algorithms are purely serial. Some can only really be split into 2 or 3 threads. See Amdahl's law

This is why Intel is still chasing it.

I thought that too. But it turns out, no.....

My favorite supermarket carries great golden kiwi and has carried it year-round for like 10 years now. Credit where credit is due.

Absolutely. There was never any question about that

I'm running an 11 year old MacBook Pro on the latest version of iOS. Credit where credit's due.

A few friends of mine are using theirs from 2016. That's where I heard this news from.

If you read the article they're ending their industry-leading long streak of updates because old versions of android are themselves becoming irredeemable insecure. Not Fairphone's fault that 7 year old versions of android are no longer being kept secure by android.

I think, generally speaking, you wouldn't want a valuable appliance on anything but a dedicated socket.

Honestly it'd be even better if you bought a UPS for your PC, the added cost is negligible for the peace of mind you get to safeguard from electrical mishaps.

>I looked around the 3rd party repair shops but the cost was similar.

That's by Apple's design.

>We need more companies doing this.

Genuinely curious how right to repair people like Louis Rossman would react to this comment, lol.

And US companies are different?

Yes, the physical limit is found by finding the length of the longest critical path on the die.

brb gaming in my kitchen now

Just allow the installation of MacOS on the iPad. It's really not difficult.

So many times it's just easier to tap the thing on the screen rather than awkwardly get to it with the touchpad. It's also great for things like pinch to zoom and other gesture-based interactions which just feel more I tuituve on a touchscreen than a touchpad.
