  1. Re:Transactional Memory support on Intel Haswell CPUs Debut, Put To the Test · · Score: 1

    The clock frequency is basically the same as for the decade old P4

    The P4 had an absurdly long 31 stage pipeline, compared to the Haswell's 14 stages. More stages means each stage is shorter, and thus more cycles per second. So, sure, the clock frequency is "basically the same", but clock frequency alone doesn't mean a whole lot when you're comparing completely different architectures.

  2. Justified on Stanford-NYU Report: Drone Attacks Illegal, Counterproductive · · Score: 2

    The number of "civilian" casualties cannot be confirmed or even reliably estimated since the terrorists dress like civilians.

    That's right, they could all be terrorists. Best to just kill them all.
