Hi I'm assembling a workstation with a set budget and making wise decision making on where to spend makes a difference. I do not need any overcloking headroom. This thing needs to work on stock without thermal throttling and for at least 5 years. All without extensive maintenance (I may bother...

I wish them luck, but it will be a long way before they get professional software support. Even with the most ubiquitous GPUs on the market, I have the feeling that many vendors don't bother supporting Intel and I also doubt Intel themselves ever tested full compliance with openGL standards. No...

If your software stack is fully open source then you would be right. Scientific image processing of microscopy data is a clear example of vertical markets where that is not the case, several standard tools are closed source programs which rely on Intel's math libraries and/or ICC (e.g. Matlab...

Murine kidneys have more "ISA extensions" that zebra fish "kidneys" though. ;) I will have to talk to my boss and set some budget expectations, she told me that there were no issues about money but we are in a Scandinavian country and the end price for a xeon W-3275 is 6500$... if she's fine...

Hi Ned, thanks for the interesting post. We work on diabetic kidney disease using intravital two photon microscopy on murine models. Your experiment sounds extremely cool BTW (holy crap you are I/O limited by pcie3 ssds!), on the other hand we get to deal with the low transparency and light...

Hi everyone, my boss just put me in charge of buying our new workstation for image processing and deep learning. Given articles like this one where AMD incurs a 2-3X performance penalty I am questioning the opportunity to choose an AMD configuration...

No overclock no purchase, next year intel?

Thanks for the offers, but I decided to go with the vps route. Worst case scenario I'll have wasted less than 6-7€ and learned a new thing or two.

Title says all. I'm moving to college dorm and I'd rather not have my traffic monitored/inspected (besides they block many urls and let's not even talk about ports). I'm not a very experienced sysadmin (and IT is not my field of studies), but I can read tutorials and enjoy setting up...

Welcome to android, you will be datamined, all resistance is futile. Root that thing and install xprivacy, then all they will get is a string of "DEFACED" in place of your info. Will it stop google? Probably not, but you will realize how much data even simple apps amass on you. Stock android...

windows you are the product we sell edition :whiste:

Heil Hydra! :biggrin:

Since you can increase bclk by 1mhz it's effectively the same as unlocked multiplier when going for maximum clocks (no fixed straps like in the socket 775 era), the only downside is that you get higher idle clocks but most overclockers won't care and I doubt it makes a huge difference in power...

Well those bclk clocks look very promising and with 1mhz granular increases you could reach voltage and thermal limits on basically any skylake cpu. Assuming that dual cores and non K quads are left untouched we should be back to the e2140 and e5200 days, but I really doubt that this will be...

I read that part, but in the oc section they went with multiplier OC if I remember well, using bclk could have some impact on performance. Well let's wait and see, since dual cores are different dies and they could lock it again.
