dr|z3d: u ever had those spicy korean noodles?
Anomaly
i just ate some
Anomaly
very spicy
Reinhilde
i hope i figure out the unlock exploit
Anomaly
i also started skating, like skateboarding
Anomaly
yesterday i did a kickflip for the first time, except i was holding onto a rail
Anomaly
Reinhilde: what exploit ?
Reinhilde
Haswell E5 Xeons have a bug in them, patched by microcode, that lets you unlock the turbo bins to the single-core bin for all cores
Reinhilde
if you yank the microcode update, you can do this
Anomaly
what can you do with unlocking the turbo bins? like overclocking ?
Anomaly
shit you have a xeon cpu?
Anomaly
how many cores is it
Reinhilde
yes, overclocking all-core turbo to the higher single-core turbo speed
Reinhilde
8, i have an 18 on the way
Anomaly
noice
Anomaly
yea ive been debating if i build a new desktop computer, ill select a ryzen threadripper
Anomaly
that has alot of cores
Anomaly
i forgot how many exactly from the ryzen i had my eyes on
Reinhilde
AMD isn't supporting sTRX40 anymore, you want WRX80 (Threadripper Pro) which is oem only and vendor locked
Reinhilde
sooo
Reinhilde
idk
Anomaly
whats strx40?
Reinhilde
it's the ryzen threadripper socket
Anomaly
the cpu i looked at was am4
Anomaly
i think am4 something like that
Anomaly
the socket type
Reinhilde
i thought? idk how team red shit worked
Anomaly
wdym team red
Reinhilde
i like their GPUs, i dunno about their CPUs. team red = AMD
Anomaly
oh
Anomaly
lol im vice versa
Anomaly
i like their cpus, but for some reason their gpus dont grab my attention
Reinhilde
back to my xeon shit, i have a locked down C612 motherboard which doesn't like third party BIOSes
Anomaly
i only had 1 cpu that was ryzen, except funny enough it had a bug in it
Anomaly
oh
Reinhilde
it's from a Hewlett Packard Z440 workstation
Anomaly
nice
Anomaly
u use it for compiling ?
Reinhilde
but i have it in a whitebox case
Reinhilde
I compile and game.
Reinhilde
frei0r problem :(
Anomaly
i can relate
Anomaly
i feel like i could buy a new computer my computer gets slow from time to time it bothers me
Anomaly
like i should have a desktop, and a laptop on the side
Anomaly
sometimes when i pull cq shifts, i have to unplug everything and its a major pain in the ass
Anomaly
cq shifts, are 24hr shifts
Reinhilde
they should be illegal
Anomaly
not if your in the army
Anomaly
you do them like 2-3 times a month
Anomaly
ive done a double shift before
Anomaly
i pulled a 48hr cq shift, because someone paid me to
Anomaly
i got some sleep in, but your not supposed to
Reinhilde
i mean sure
Reinhilde
but it still can't be good for operational readiness
Anomaly
your off the next day to recover
Anomaly
they call it recovery
Anomaly
like you work from 6am-6am
Anomaly
well i guess technically your off the same day to recover you dont go to work
Anomaly
so the worst days to have cq are on the weekends, and the best days to have cq is on monday and thursdays
dr|z3d
wait for the new ryzen 8 core, Anomaly. plenty fast, with 3d cache.
dr|z3d
threadripper line's being discontinued aside from the super expensive pro variant.
Anomaly
oh
Anomaly
when are the new ryzens coming out ?
Anomaly
well i dont mind waiting, afterall i do have to save my money for it
dr|z3d
also, yeah, korean noodles, very spice.
dr|z3d
end of this month for the one I just mentioned, or q3-4 for the next gen.
Anomaly
oh wow
Anomaly
its basically here then
Anomaly
yea i mean it is the 17th
dr|z3d
if you can wait, the next gen cpus are worth waiting for.
Anomaly
or atleast the 17th in my time of the world
dr|z3d
ddr5 support etc.
Anomaly
when do those come out ?
Anomaly
ooo ddr5
dr|z3d
probably a new mobo, so future proofed as well.
dr|z3d
*new socket

Anomaly
nice
Anomaly
you know what i really hate
Anomaly
are the prices of gpus
Anomaly
u guys ever heard of a nios ii processor
Reinhilde
no
albat
nope
Anomaly
its nothing really special
Anomaly
like i want to design a cpu, you can design one on an fpga board, and a popular brand altera/terasic purchased by intel released something called the nios ii processor that you can run on your fpga board, and run programs on that processor ofcourse
Anomaly
one of the challenges about programming hardware is not just learning how to program in the language, but it requires you have an understanding already of the hardware you want to program
Anomaly
you can literally make a vga controller, infact you have to if your programming an fpga board
Anomaly
and then handling memory and stuff
Reinhilde
why do you have to make a vga controller? why not use rs232, or some kind of parallel interface
Anomaly
you can use rs232
Anomaly
ive used rs232, like, i was able to output input on the term i was using that was the comm port
Anomaly
except as for making sense of that input, i had trouble with, making the receiver
Anomaly
i want to know how to output user input onto the 7 seg hex display, and i had some trouble with that
Anomaly
im still working on it
