Re: Arch Linux 2024
Fascinating stuff. A bootstrap LTO build of gcc isn't helped a lot by -j24 because it can't just go ahead and compile all the objects (I'd think a plain build could do more in parallel). OK, that's boring, but it gave me a chance to observe Turbo Boost behaviour on a workload where cores are idle. I...

Re: Arch Linux 2024
I found an article at Tom's complaining about the AVX-512 thing: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-nukes-alder-lake-avx-512-now-fuses-it-off-in-silicon Intel's support for AVX-512 instructions with its Alder Lake processors has been a confusing affair. The company initially claimed the feature...

Re: Arch Linux 2024
Well, my Arch is about to become x86_64-v3. No, alderlake is not v4, even though it's a newer cpuarch than rocketlake. That's because Intel dropped AVX-512. See why I hate these gimmicky intel instructions? They don't even know what the fuck they are doing... they have essentially guaranteed that no...

Re: Need a different case
It does seem alarming, but "compiling" (with all cores) is not actually normal use of a consumer CPU. You'd never hit that gaming or under normal desktop workloads or even multimedia encoding/processing. These boards have those aggressive settings for gamers. I rewatched that video last ni...

Re: Firefox and Librewolf
Well, the data is in. As expected (and previously observed on the old box), the profiled build is significantly better than the non-profiled build. If a PGO+LTO build can't succeed with a particular -march=cputype, adjust the -march rather than dropping the PGO+LTO build method. Rust isn't having a ...

Re: Firefox and Librewolf

Re: Need a different case
I wasn't thinking about voltages, but I knew that the turbo timings curve was aggressive (I also mentioned that Linux frequency governor is aggressive with that too). It won't harm the CPU though, and if it gets throttled, it doesn't matter. You could set less aggressive settings, but then you're wa...

That's good shipping. I wouldn't get anything that fast because I live in bumfuckville.
Corsair was the first for the 10 year PSU warranty and others followed. Hell, I've got two antecs that lasted near 15 years (and they had 5 year warranties I think).
