gcc has had support for zen for over a year now, patch was contributed by AMD themselves.

> forced to create binaries that don't use any advanced features like modern vector instructions

the onus is on devs to properly lay out their data in memory and to create code paths for avx/avx2. a compiler can't do all the heavy lifting there because there are special considerations that have to be made to get the most out of the various SIMD extensions to x86-64.

>gcc has had support for zen for over a year now, patch was contributed by AMD themselves.
The fact that AMD has made a patch that makes GCC aware of what Zen hardware supports doesn't mean that is supports it well or that any software is actually compiled with a version of the compiler that has this patch applied. Specially benchmarks need to stick to one version of the compiler so that old results with the same benchmarks are still accurate.

>the onus is on devs to properly lay out their data in memory and to create code paths for avx/avx2
Which doesn't really help if the compiler doesn't know what versions of AVX the chip supports...
>>
>>56426386
>Which doesn't really help if the compiler doesn't know what versions of AVX the chip supports...

that's literally all an enablment patch does. msvc and gcc don't do cpu uarch specific optimizations like optimizing for cache sizes or latency of certain instructions. developers have to do that.

the compiler really doesn't need any major work to 'support' a new cpu architecture. that's the entire point of having a generic instruction set.

Get some 2133 ram, careful not to get more than 2 sticks because for some reason vishera can't do anything higher than 1866 when using all 4 dimm

Probabily get a 1060 cuz multithreaded driver memes but you'll prob run anything at 1080p 60fps with a 470 unless you're playing some shit like early access or unoptimized games.

Also be careful about that psu, it really doesn't like heat and it's full power is rated at 30c.

Poor AMD cucks, I guess one good side effect of not trusting intel is you never get to experience good desktop performance to compare it to. Makes it less painful to stay on AMD I suppose

Email services thread

So I'm trying to find alternatives to gmail and I'm baffled at how shitty the market is. Here's what I've come up with so far. If you have any comments on these or other email services as proper substitutions to free services, I'd love to hear them. I'm especially interested in stuff I can sync contacts and calendars with on both Windows 10 and Android if that even exists.

mail.com
Pros:
- Has a premium ad-free option.
- Has a lot of free domain names to pick from, most of which are stupid, but at least mail.com isn't.
Cons:
- IMAP and app support are premium
- Suspicious how unpopular an email service called mail.com is.
- I have yet to figure out if you can sync the calendar with standard apps and how because their website is glitchy as fuck. I got a bad impression about the whole thing here because it doesn't seem like syncing is a big deal to them. If I figure it out, I'll post about it.
- Fails to work on Pale Moon.

Much crispier key feeling and mid-travel actuation.

>>56425979
But that's pretty much a meme.
If anything, cheap mechanical would last shorter : the actuation mechanism is more complex and prone to failure and "key chatter", it's also far more sensitive to dust and spilled drinks.
>>
>>56426190
True, but skimming throught the thread I've seen people saying 140 or even a thosand. I've tried a mechanical keyboard, now that I think about it. Yeah it felt smoother pressing down on the keys, but doesnt warrant those prices, but to each their own. Thanks for answering the question btw.
>>
>>56426226
Well if you want stuff like metal construction, layers and macros, or thicker plastics those are all gonna cost extra. Heck my mechanical keyboard weighs almost 5 pounds because of the steel back plate, though I only paid 75 bucks for it

Why would anyone buy this? You could buy a fully mechanical keyboard for less, and this is even stupid in the fucking razer lineup, when the Blackwidow is just $10 extra.

If some bratty 12 y/o is begging his mom for a Razer™keyboard, she is either not going to buy him the $50 membrane deathstalker essential because she thinks that all keyboards are the same, or she is going to cave in and buy him whatever the "top of the line" blackwidow is.

The other day I posted a thread here asking about my refurb R9 290 temperatures, which were 93c under load

To the dude who said Overdrive sets the target temperature high to keep the noise down: Thanks, buddy. You wanna guess if the target temp was set to 95?

Why the fuck does AMD do this? Yeah sure to keep the noise down but 95c is inches from fucking melting.

I was in said thread also it won't melt at 95c you retard, its not water
Running it like that for more than a few hours might melt some solder though

Hey /g/ I got niggered into buying this laser at the state fair, I didn't look at the actual details and just assumed because it was big and had a key to turn off and on that it was a proper laser, but now I've looked at the label and it says output < 5 mW which is obviously nothing.

But now I'm wondering if it would just be a matter of replacing the diode. How would I get into the thing? What about the diode driver, would I have to replace that too?

That's interesting, could I get the source link?

Also, my point still stands. Many people who would qualify under "diversity" won't be interested in the intricacies of the tech field, leading it to stay a more white male dominated field. But if we're pandering to women and ethnic minorities and hiring just for diversity's sake, we get what Putnam found.

I appreciate good code, and don't care about personal lives or a person's sex, or whatever other issues they think are affecting them.

If there were a godlike programmer, but every time he came into my office he shit all over my desk, I'd still fire him, and basically the same thing is happening when you hire disgusting human beings.
