@momurda said in Intel's NVMe VRoC System Now Out:

If an SSD is rated at 1DWPD for 5 years and in actual use one only uses .2DWPD, does that mean that such an ssd would nominally last 25 years barring some other catastrophic hw failure not related to the destructive nature of flash program and erase cycles?

All reliability is about chances of failure. So it’s likely to last that long.

@scottalanmiller said in Even former Intel president believes future is ARM:

Sounds exciting, but loads of companies have said this, and then dropped their plans before releasing 😞

Yeah, waiting on the ARM CPU revolution is seeming more like expecting the year of the alternate desktops 🙁

Yeah, we've been waiting on this since RiscOS was hot.

@scottalanmiller said in Basics of Spectre and Meltdown Video:

or not on Intel,

Spectre is everyone. So my point still stands here.

I'm trying to find a way to configure this via Powershell as there is a "Remote" solution of some sort. So much documentation to dig through. . .

@oksana said in How many IOPS your NVMe can do? All of them!:

alt text
There’s a common opinion that the performance in general and IOPS-intensive performance like NVMf [NVMe over Fabrics] is usually lower in virtualized environments due to the hypervisor overhead.

Check out this article to prove or knock down this belief!

Great, now I'm impatient to see the results!

@dashrender said in Intel finds critical holes in secret Management Engine hidden in tons of desktop, server chipsets:

Here is a program Intel put together to tell you if you are vulnerable to this and several other security flaws they have found.

But be warned, it's written by a company known to not understand security or be concerned about its customers. So...

Get a different machine for the CAD user, he'll be taxing CPU and GPU heavily. Get him Xeon workstation if you can, ideally something that's certified by CAD vendor. You'd be surprised how quickly they are to blame non-certified hardware if there are any issues with their software.

If you make hardware, you test and sign the driver. Here is the doc:

Who needs an Cortex a57 server CPU ? it is sooo 2013 ...

One could say the same thing about the AMD64 family.

My answer to the OP. I mean I am not saying MS is good or bad, or Linux OS's are good or bad. But the OP was just a whiny bitch.

Fixed again, whatever mod is taking the plural out of CPUs and making it into a possessive CPU's, please stop.

We're griping about $600-800 for this form factor, but people are paying $700+ for iPhone? huh.

I need a good phone, I don't need a little gaming rig.

You would be the #1 customer I thought of for this. Business traveller.

Oh I like the idea 🙂 If I didn't already have the laptop, I might bite.

Wheren't you looking for this type of solution last year? I understand that you've solved it with a laptop now, but you were looking I thought.

Yup, but moved on.
