(*6952cd93*):: 10nm chips at 6 GHz now? And apparently they can be overclocked to 8 Ghz lol sick https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-teases-8-ghz-raptor-lake-world-record +public!
*** Intel Teases 6 GHz Raptor Lake at Stock, 8 GHz Overclocking World Record
*** The Raptors are out of the cage…

(*f32483ad*):: <@U8Q6U5P5H> has joined the channel
(*6952cd93*):: what’s hilarious is that all these people are crying about that chip’s power usage
(*b05743e5*):: if the processor makers really cared about power usage, they would be designing the things… differently
(*b05743e5*):: they are so fixated on clock speeds that they are unable to think outside the box
(*6952cd93*):: that’s true, I’m just impressed that it looks like they’re gonna hit 10Ghz even though it seemed impossible before
(*b05743e5*):: they will continue to make marginal improvements to their preferred metric
it’s still futile to fight the power wall; the trend broken in 2004 says they should be way over 100 GHz by now https://atxcf.slack.com/archives/C6E2VDE6P/p1659738910840799?thread_ts=1658363559.706619&cid=C6E2VDE6P
*** One of reasons (at least for the compute areas) is that the architecture has tapped out since 2004 or so. In my opinion the computer establishment is unable to think out of the box architecturally, so I welcome progress of the “one funeral at a time” variety.

(*6952cd93*):: I feel like some of the techniques being developed to do qubits with silicon are going to buy them some more runway and help reduce power
