    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    What is a "linked" version of two molecules? Sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose linked by a covalent (shared electrons) bond, more specifically a glycosidic bond (as Amused already said). I have no idea what you are talking about for HFCS being a "linked version of the two sugars". Do...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    Well, as the old saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day. (Referring to Trump, not you.) Edit: You sound like you have a background in research, so I hate to dispute you, but the information I found says specifically that HFCS is a mixture of monosaccharides, namely glucose and...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    No, I did not know the HFCS has 45% glucose. Thanks for the information. Just to be clear, unlike HFCS, sucrose is glucose and fructose bound together chemically. It does not dissociate into fructose and glucose when it goes into solution. It has to be metabolized enzymatically (in the body) to...

    What’s your take on corn syrup vs came sugar in Coke thingi?

    HFCS is starch hydrolyzed to fructose, a monosaccharide. Cane sugar is sucrose, which is a dimer (disaccharide) of glucose and fructose. So cane sugar (sucrose) is ultimately broken down to glucose and fructose. Fructose is absorbed more quickly by the body than sucrose, so cane sugar may have a...

    Discussion Intel Nova Lake in H2-2026: Discussion Threads

    I am talking about gaming. Have they been able to utilize the E cores yet for gaming? If the bLLC actually makes it to market, will the E cores be able to utilize the extra cache anyway, and would there be a latency penalty? My understanding is that the E cores are pretty much still useless for...

    Discussion Intel Nova Lake in H2-2026: Discussion Threads

    Disappointing that the bLLC or whatever it is called will be limited to an 8 P core die, without hyperthreading. Seems like they will already be at a disadvantage vs Zen 5 vCache which has 8 cores with HT, and at an even bigger disadvantage if Zen 6 goes to a 12 core CCD with vCache. Leave it to...

    Discussion Intel Nova Lake in H2-2026: Discussion Threads

    Lets hope so. The thing is, pretty much everything since maybe 8th gen (I am still using 8700k for gaming) with the exception of Alder Lake, has been mediocre (all the refreshes with only a few hundred mhz clock bump) to disappointing (Arrow Lake) to disastrous (Rocket Lake and 13, 14 gen...

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills a woman, injures a man.

    While I personally dont think Baldwin should have been charged, this analogy is an oversimplification. A gun is not the same as a car. One is expected to exercise certain standards of safety with a firearm that is not expected when driving a car. It was legitimate for Baldwin to assume the gun...

    Democratic Party - Clueless & Feckless - is the D party done?

    Yea, you have to work pretty hard to get an approval rating lower than Trump. The Dems have to get over this belief they can win simply because people don't like Trump or some of his methods. They actually have to make people believe that their policies will actually make their life better, and...

    Democratic Party - Clueless & Feckless - is the D party done?

    OK, maybe you arent rationalizing. Perhaps that was my projection of your thought process. The point still stands that although your facts may be correct, effectively they are irrelevant, since Trump got elected. It is like losing a Super Bowl by 1 point or 30. Doesnt really matter, you still...

    Democratic Party - Clueless & Feckless - is the D party done?

    For some voters, yes, I would agree. However, I dont think a lot of voters really wanted that, to the extent of, and in the autocratic way, that Trump is doing it. Besides that, things are difficult socially and economically right now. Those with established lives, who own a home, have a job and...

    Democratic Party - Clueless & Feckless - is the D party done?

    Rationalize all you want, but the Dems were so horrible that enough voters believed that a despotic, egotistic, melomaniac got elected. Even now, with Trump's approval rating dropping, the latest figures I have seen show the Dems with horrible approval ratings, far below Trump. And yes, your...

    Question Zen 6 Speculation Thread

    Actually, if the CCD is in fact 12 cores, they should just skip a 10 +10 core X3D. It is just a part without a real use case. Probably worse for gaming than either the 12 or 24 core X3D, and intermediate in nT performance at higher cost than the 12 core. If the 20 core X3D were to be 12 +8, it...
