I think "earth like" should mean it has the potential to have life as we know it. It doesn't have to have life but there is enough there that we could terraform it and move in. This would include size, gravity, position in orbit as relative to star to harbor life, and liquid iron core with magnetic field. Actually having water on the surface would be a plus but not necessary. With a big enough oort cloud we could import water and even make a atmosphere.
First of all calling me a fanboy is pretty silly. I mean I did just drop over 2000 bones on a intel rig.
Have you every really looked at the videos? They are around 400 fps. I did some math and the difference at times are between 2% and 5%, with a high as 10%. When you scale these down to real world numbers they are pretty insignificant.
You're talking about a serial killer. There is nothing amoral, unethical, or sociopathic about designing a complier stream line code for your processor. That is just business.
Oh BS. The benchmarks I have seen show the performance of the Ryzen chips to be close enough to their Intel counterparts. Close enough that the difference won't matter.
Unless you are so picky that a half a dozen frames actually matter out of a 130 fps.
I have been building my own computers since the 1990s, and I have given a couple of AMD chips a chance over the years. My anecdotal experience, sample size of one experience has been that the AMD chips never "feel" as fast. The OS (Windows) is not as responsive. Applications are not as snappy
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that noticed this. I just recently built a i7-6700k system to replace my AMD 8150.
Sure, I'm sure that a lot of that can be explained that I'm moving from a 6 year old design to a modern design. But that doesn't explain why I have the same feeling on my i7-2600K. A chip designed about the same time as the 8150.
I don't feel that difference on Linux though. My bitch box is a 8350 running Centos 6. We installed a some Xeon blades at work that run the same load of Centos. When I log into those, the AMD feels just as snappy as the Xeons.
I was thinking of replacing the 8350 with a modern processor this year. The 8350 has been at is post for almost 5 years. In its current role I could easy get 2 or 3 more years out of it.
I don't think I would let the gaming performance make me snub AMD at this moment. There is a number of videos on youtube that show some real live benchmarks on AMD vs Intel for these chips.
In most cases the AMD does lag behind the Intel versions. But it only lags behind by a max of say 5%. To me this is insignificant when you take into account the cost of the chips involved. $599 vs $1000.
One things that did make me think though was in some of those benchmarks they included a i7-7700K, a $349 chip. This chip was holding its own against the R7-1800x and the i7-6900k. In both the SMP and single threaded categories.
Intels are much faster in games as IPC still did not catch up
They are not that much faster, unless you count 5 fps out of 130 fps as "much faster." Honestly, I doubt anyone would really notice the difference in Ryzen vs Intel on comparable chips.
Exactly. Who cares about his sex life? If getting wrapped in leather and hog tied with a butt plug up his ass is his thing, more power too him. I don't see how anything happening inside his bed room is any of any ones' business.
I don't remember if windows 3.1 apps are 8bit or 16 bit. I believe they are 16 bit, in that case I think the 32 bit version of windows 10 might be able to run them. I know the 64 bit versions of any windows won't run 16 bit anything.
That is what my heart tells me. My head says fat chance. Lets go with the latter.
In the course of full disclosure then I'll admit that I'm very bias against the ACA. I had a really bad experience with it.
I probably erred when I said no body understands the full law. What I should have said is while people know what the law says and what they expect it to do. They do not know or understand all the ramifications that come in to play down the road. I believe that with the way things are turning that my assessment in this case is correct. We know how the law was supposed to work, but we didn't expect it to work the way it did. I will say one thing and I'm 100% correct on this issue. The day government, be it Trump, can fix the healthcare to where everyone is happy will be the day I take a tour around Memphis on my flying pig.
Why am I posting at +3? I assumed it was because of my 4 digit UID but I see that you don't post with the same level.
No, you where just wrong and you can't admit it. Your attempts to pass it off as sarcasm just made you look more foolish.
As for alternative facts, you seem to have posted a number of facts here. Well if you want to believe that I'm sure you have your reasons. I'm not going to ask you to cite your sources. I'm sure you have a number of them that make you happy. Hell, there are people that believe the Earth is flat.
It is because of my stunning personality my wit, and charm. It is hard being me but being me has some advantages. I get to move to the front of the line as movies. Specials seats at all the major events. I've been given a special seat on the first mission to mars. There are other perks but I won't mention them.
Yes I'm joking. I really don't what is going any more. The posting at +3 started a few weeks ago. There was issues with my account posting to low. Someone at/. central fixed the issue. The +1 says karma bonus. I just assume that I was posting at +3 because of the 4 digit uuid. There are so few of us left.
But today I saw another 4 digit uuid doesn't have the same bonus. There is probably still an issue with my account. I sent email to have it corrected.
Oh, I see. No you are quite incorrect there. All I see is that his success in business and his accumulated wealth is a indicator that he knows business and what he is doing in that issue. It has nothing to do with virtue. In fact I do question some of his virtues.

Please stop calling it "earth like" when it isn't.
Don't know, Don't care. I will not allow facebook messager on my phone and I have disabled facebook.

Hamsters, lots and lots of hamsters.
Moore's Law isn't just dead. It's dead, buried, flowers have been laid, songs have been sung, and the mourners have left.

I'm not a database person and I really have no clue what you are talking about so I will just say this. Sweet :)
Nothing stopping AMD with doing the same thing.

We call that "thinning the herd."
Kind of makes you want to start burying your money in your back yard.
You know. The more I read by you the more respect I have for you. I really like the way you think.
Exactly. Who cares about his sex life? If getting wrapped in leather and hog tied with a butt plug up his ass is his thing, more power too him. I don't see how anything happening inside his bed room is any of any ones' business.
Just remember the safe word is "hurt me mama."
I don't think anyone would run something as sensitive as an ATM on Windows.
You would be surprised. I saw a ATM at one of those home town ATM with the blue screen of death on it. Saw a gas pump a few weeks ago with one too.
I don't remember if windows 3.1 apps are 8bit or 16 bit. I believe they are 16 bit, in that case I think the 32 bit version of windows 10 might be able to run them. I know the 64 bit versions of any windows won't run 16 bit anything.

I believe that is more likely than you have some anonymous band of followers digging this deep in to a thread.
Look you clearly have some kind of mental issue. I'm just going to move on now. You can sit here and stew if you want too. Take care.
Really? Sock puppets too?
