The Cell Processor has 9 cores. That was in 2001.

It doesn't make sense to spend time on writing multi threaded
software for only 2, 4 or 8 cores.

Context switching will kill some of the performance on single or
dual core systems.

Learn how an operating system evolved and works, dipshit.

You are lost. Multi-threaded processing has been around for

And so too the software.

Plenty of examples and proofs. Hell even graphics subsystems

it. Ever heard of CUDA?

You been the one sleepin' and you think you are giving us a

Bwuahahahaha!

Please also take apart and break the computer you are on now so
we
do not have to see this crap for at least a while.

2 threads at best, one for gui, for for engine.

Name 10 tools that use more than 10 threads.

So far I only see games use lots of threads.

So stop trying to a be smart ass you motherfucking fool.

I WATCH TASK MANAGER FOR 14 YEARS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS SYSTEM.

Only windows runs 100's of threads, most programs NOPE.

Recently firefox MULTI PROCESS, It wasn't until recently it became
multi-threading, I also asked for it.

I bet you can't mention 10 programs !HAHA

FUCKING RETARD FOOL.

3.5nm. There are limits to how small a switch can be made and

Likely be a while before we even get to much less past this

The chips look cool. But this nears the limit. READ UP.

LOL 7 NM RETARD.

0.5 is already done.


You are stupid, boy. 7nm multi-billion element chips are being
made.

Some lab made a single element 0.5 nm transistor. NOT a CHIP.
Proof of concept, at best.

BIG DIFFERENCE, you retarded child.

When you're right, you're right and here you are right. Like you
say, huge difference between creating one experimental transistor
and being able to make a chip with billions of transistors in
volume manufacturing. And you're right that today 7nm is state
of the art, with 5nm coming later this year, from TSMC.

It's not that he doesn't believe you. It's that it's like he said,
they built one experimental transistor in a lab that's 0.5nm.
That is a glimpse into the future of what may be possible. Today 7nm
is state of the art for actual PRODUCTION of chips. If Moore's Law
continues to hold true, we may see production of 0.5nm in about 8 years.
But it could take much longer, it gets increasingly difficult to
continue to decrease size, we've already had to substantially modify
fab processes to get where we are and the further we push, the more
complex it gets. I'd say we've been extremely lucky that we've
been able to overcome all the obstacles so far. But the chances of
that continuing diminish the further we go.

Well, that depends on who you listen to. For example from over a
year ago:

https://www.cnet.com/news/moores-law-is-dead-nvidias-ceo-jensen-huang-says-at-ces-2019/

"At least that's what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes. The executive, who co-founded graphics-chip maker Nvidia, on Wednesday declared that "Moore's Law isn't possible anymore.

Moore's Law used to grow at 10x every five years [and] 100x every 10 years," Huang said during a Q&A panel with a small group of reporters and analysts at CES 2019. "Right now Moore's Law is growing a few percent every year. Every 10 years maybe only 2s. ... So Moore's Law has finished."


What the hell was he talking about? We just went from 10nm being state
of the art to 7nm and 5 nm will roll out later this year. That's
a few percent? ROFL He sure can't do math.


And what does Intel say?

"Intel, for its part, doesn't think Moore's Law is dead. Companies are just finding new ways to keep it going, like Intel's new 3D chip stacking. The manufacturing technology it calls Foveros stacks different chip elements directly on top of each other, a move that should dramatically increase performance and the range of chips Intel can profitably sell.

"Elements of this debate have been going on since the early 2000s," Intel Chief Technology Officer Michael Mayberry said in an EETimes post in August. "Meanwhile, technologists ignore the debate and keep making progress."



And he's right. From MIT Technology Review, 2000, here is where they were
saying it was over back then:

5 is likely the cost / chip over size limit.

Funny thing then that the largest chip manufacturer in the world is

in cell phones and computers.


3.5 is

Who should we believe? You or Intel? From a recent presentation of
the roadmap from Intel/ASML. One builds em, the other makes the fab
gear:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/15217/intels-manufacturing-roadmap-from-2019-to-2029

1.4nm in 2029
Intel expects to be on 2 year cadence with its manufacturing process node technology, starting with 10nm in 2019 and moving to 7nm EUV in 2021, then a fundamental new node in each of 2023, 2025, 2027, 2029. This final node is what ASML has dubbed '1.4nm'. This is the first mention on 1.4nm in the context of Intel on any Intel-related slide. For context, if that 1.4nm is indicative of any actual feature, would be the equivalent of 12 silicon atoms across.



And his 0.5 will end up as a special seen in Quantum dot making or
such.

Maybe so, but Intel has a roadmap to 1.4, which is getting close.

You are a true idiot.

For one thing it was hard enough to get to 64 bit, and it is
the
rest of the gear not just the CPU. MAYBE go to 128, but not
much need to go further and by then we will have optical
computers and quantum computers kicking their asses. A 4 bit
optical computer can kick any silicon switches ass. Once we
get there, transistor based switching will get surpassed

We are down near atom sized features now. Elements 50 atoms
wide
and less. We will not likely be going much smaller than say
3.5nm. There are limits to how small a switch can be made and
I do not simply refer to our optical limitations.

Fucking idiot, I read the news. TECH NEWS.

Researches did 0.5 nanometer transistors.

If you don't believe me, them or google that's fine. JUST FUCK
OFF.

It's not that he doesn't believe you. It's that it's like he
said, they built one experimental transistor in a lab that's
0.5nm. That is a glimpse into the future of what may be possible.
Today 7nm is state of the art for actual PRODUCTION of chips. If
Moore's Law continues to hold true, we may see production of 0.5nm
in about 8 years. But it could take much longer, it gets
increasingly difficult to continue to decrease size, we've already
had to substantially modify fab processes to get where we are and
the further we push, the more complex it gets. I'd say we've been
extremely lucky that we've been able to overcome all the obstacles
so far. But the chances of that continuing diminish the further
we go.

If you had ben paying attention, the general feeling is that
Moore's Law is done. We are at very near the limit of what can be

Well, that depends on who you listen to. For example from over a
year ago:

https://www.cnet.com/news/moores-law-is-dead-nvidias-ceo-jensen-huang-says-at-ces-2019/

"At least that's what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes. The executive, who co-founded graphics-chip maker Nvidia, on Wednesday declared that "Moore's Law isn't possible anymore.

Moore's Law used to grow at 10x every five years [and] 100x every 10 years," Huang said during a Q&A panel with a small group of reporters and analysts at CES 2019. "Right now Moore's Law is growing a few percent every year. Every 10 years maybe only 2s. ... So Moore's Law has finished."


What the hell was he talking about? We just went from 10nm being state
of the art to 7nm and 5 nm will roll out later this year. That's
a few percent? ROFL He sure can't do math.


And what does Intel say?

"Intel, for its part, doesn't think Moore's Law is dead. Companies are just finding new ways to keep it going, like Intel's new 3D chip stacking. The manufacturing technology it calls Foveros stacks different chip elements directly on top of each other, a move that should dramatically increase performance and the range of chips Intel can profitably sell.

"Elements of this debate have been going on since the early 2000s," Intel Chief Technology Officer Michael Mayberry said in an EETimes post in August. "Meanwhile, technologists ignore the debate and keep making progress."

Who should we believe? You or Intel? From a recent presentation of
the roadmap from Intel/ASML. One builds em, the other makes the fab
gear:

1.4nm in 2029
Intel expects to be on 2 year cadence with its manufacturing process node technology, starting with 10nm in 2019 and moving to 7nm EUV in 2021, then a fundamental new node in each of 2023, 2025, 2027, 2029. This final node is what ASML has dubbed '1.4nm'. This is the first mention on 1.4nm in the context of Intel on any Intel-related slide. For context, if that 1.4nm is indicative of any actual feature, would be the equivalent of 12 silicon atoms across.

It's the fist increase in EIGHT years. You do know what a trend

You are a true idiot. OS sales and PC sales are not the same

I never said they were, stupid. You just continue to dig your hole
ever deeper. Obviously you're clueless about what the analysts are
talking about. When MSFT ends support for an OS, it causes an increase
in PC sales, because some users, with older PCs, elect at that point
to get a new PC with a new version of Windows. So it's a temporary
boost to demand.

We have seen similar development before.

In the old days, there was one big mainframe and a huge number of
users connected with dumb terminals (e,g, VT100) or similar systems
using IBM style transaction processing (CICS). All high level
processing was done in the mainframe and the user terminals did only
very simple screen editing functionality to reduce the loading of the
slow serial connections.

It was quite easy to manage a large number of users. Changes needed to
be done only in one place and all users had a new version of some
program the next time they logged in.

Then came the PCs with a lot of local storage and processing power.
Managing the user applications are a headache of updating the local
nodes when the machine is online etc.

Some manufacturers tried to create a "thin client" architecture, in
which diskless nodes were booted from a server over the LAN. This thin
client system did not reach high popularity.

A lot of server applications are now http based and only a limited
functionality in the user clients. The connection to server is over
LAN or various forms of WLAN (including 4G/5G).


And even without a hard coded x86, they can still emulate it in a
VDM.


And cite for us the smartphones that do emulate it and that will
run X86 apps for a PC.

A server node (cloud) can run x86 code, the user interface is moved
to the smart phone.

At the very least it should go from:
7 nanometers now, 64 to:
3.5 nanometers, 128
1.75 nanometers, 256
0.97 nanometers, 512
And maybe even 0.5 nanomenters 1024.

5 x 1.5 = 7 years.


You are a true idiot.

For one thing it was hard enough to get to 64 bit, and it is
the
rest of the gear not just the CPU. MAYBE go to 128, but not
much need to go further and by then we will have optical
computers and quantum computers kicking their asses. A 4 bit
optical computer can kick any silicon switches ass. Once we
get there, transistor based switching will get surpassed

We are down near atom sized features now. Elements 50 atoms
wide
and less. We will not likely be going much smaller than say
3.5nm. There are limits to how small a switch can be made and
I do not simply refer to our optical limitations.

Fucking idiot, I read the news. TECH NEWS.

Researches did 0.5 nanometer transistors.

If you don't believe me, them or google that's fine. JUST FUCK
OFF.

It's not that he doesn't believe you. It's that it's like he
said, they built one experimental transistor in a lab that's
0.5nm. That is a glimpse into the future of what may be possible.
Today 7nm is state of the art for actual PRODUCTION of chips. If
Moore's Law continues to hold true, we may see production of 0.5nm
in about 8 years. But it could take much longer, it gets
increasingly difficult to continue to decrease size, we've already
had to substantially modify fab processes to get where we are and
the further we push, the more complex it gets. I'd say we've been
extremely lucky that we've been able to overcome all the obstacles
so far. But the chances of that continuing diminish the further
we go.

If you had ben paying attention, the general feeling is that
Moore's Law is done. We are at very near the limit of what can be
fashioned into switches.


Well, that depends on who you listen to. For example from over a
year ago:

https://www.cnet.com/news/moores-law-is-dead-nvidias-ceo-jensen-huang-says-at-ces-2019/

"At least that's what Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang believes. The executive, who co-founded graphics-chip maker Nvidia, on Wednesday declared that "Moore's Law isn't possible anymore.

Moore's Law used to grow at 10x every five years [and] 100x every 10 years," Huang said during a Q&A panel with a small group of reporters and analysts at CES 2019. "Right now Moore's Law is growing a few percent every year. Every 10 years maybe only 2s. ... So Moore's Law has finished."


What the hell was he talking about? We just went from 10nm being state
of the art to 7nm and 5 nm will roll out later this year. That's
a few percent? ROFL He sure can't do math.


And what does Intel say?

"Intel, for its part, doesn't think Moore's Law is dead. Companies are just finding new ways to keep it going, like Intel's new 3D chip stacking.. The manufacturing technology it calls Foveros stacks different chip elements directly on top of each other, a move that should dramatically increase performance and the range of chips Intel can profitably sell.

"Elements of this debate have been going on since the early 2000s," Intel Chief Technology Officer Michael Mayberry said in an EETimes post in August. "Meanwhile, technologists ignore the debate and keep making progress.."



And he's right. From MIT Technology Review, 2000, here is where they were
saying it was over back then:

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/400710/the-end-of-moores-law/

The End of Moore's Law?







Maybe we will get atom scale transistor switches laid out on
graphene lattice layers.

Till then, we are pretty darn close to about as far as Silicon and
Germanium can get. Rememeber, it is not just the optical node we are
at, but the interconnects and such. SkyTard Chihuahua barked about
how Intel is making a mistake by stacking chips, yet memory chip
makers have been doing it for years.

7 is small.

They said that in the 80s at 3 microns too. Small isn't a tech term.



5 is likely the cost / chip over size limit.


Funny thing then that the largest chip manufacturer in the world is
rolling production on 5 nm out later this year. By 2021 it will be
in cell phones and computers.


3.5 is
dreamland.

Who should we believe? You or Intel? From a recent presentation of
the roadmap from Intel/ASML. One builds em, the other makes the fab
gear:

https://www.anandtech.com/show/15217/intels-manufacturing-roadmap-from-2019-to-2029

1.4nm in 2029
Intel expects to be on 2 year cadence with its manufacturing process node technology, starting with 10nm in 2019 and moving to 7nm EUV in 2021, then a fundamental new node in each of 2023, 2025, 2027, 2029. This final node is what ASML has dubbed '1.4nm'. This is the first mention on 1.4nm in the context of Intel on any Intel-related slide. For context, if that 1.4nm is indicative of any actual feature, would be the equivalent of 12 silicon atoms across.




And his 0.5 will end up as a special seen in Quantum dot making or
such.

Maybe so, but Intel has a roadmap to 1.4, which is getting close.


It's interesting what is on the market. I bought one of these a couple months ago, to get a newer version of Android.

10-1-Tablet-8G-128G-Android-8-0-bluetooth-3G-WiFi-PC-Dual-Camera-GPS-Phablet
https://www.ebay.com/itm/352837784631

Ten core tablet, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of Flash. Will take 64GB MicroSD Card ant two SIMM cards for cellular service for $58.


That's an example of why the PC market is declining. And it doesn't have
an X86 CPU in it either. Bad news for Intel and AMD. I guess the
question is how fast the business PC market continues to grow as the
consumer market declines.

You are an example of people wearing blinders. I can't carry my desktop system with me, and my cell phone or tablet gets charged about every three months because they are rarely used. Let me see a cell phone or tablet with six TB of storage, dual 24" monitors and on a hard wired home network with five other computers. Show me either with a large flatbed scanner, or an IEEE-488 interface. How about creating and maintaining websites on either? They d cover the needs of many non tech types. If the sales of home grade PCs drops it won't affect the need for business computers or high end laptops.
