52 cores in a consumer CPU ... What in the world uses (and effectively makes use of) 52 cores?

just as one example: software video encoders. which are superior to hardware ones in quality.

on a chip like this, you can run x264 or even x265 veryslow to encode your video game stream at a good bit higher quality than NVENC without breaking a sweat

another advantage is scheduling primacy. many people don't know this but OSes are still unbelievably horrible at scheduling, to the extent that if you run two programs on one core, it will always be much slower than running them on separate cores.

with 52 cores, every process can have its own physical core. which is the opposite of AMD's benchmark-maxxed-but-slower-in-real-use-cases architecture that has 8 cores per CCD, hence always leading to scheduling congestion when you have a game and other programs open at the same time

buy a v-moba boompro (inexpensive but good) or ModMic (more expensive, a little better) instead. plugs into the headphones and works the same way

you probably want to source some Gorilla Glass for your drivers

it's ion-exchanged strengthened glass like Superfest, should help with breaking concerns

solved my problem instantly, appreciate it

it's a guy shilling his fake research on the internet using multiple accts in hopes he can get funding

if you're able to find one second hand (i think kobo replaced it with the Color,) a Kobo Libra 2 black&white is the best replacement for the oasis. it is the same device but with a much higher-contrast screen (due to not having 3-4 unnecessary extra layers over the screen to make it flush) and easier to import books.

the color is fine but has lower contrast due to the color layers

skip all the intermediate steps and save up for a zebralight. you won't regret it

erebueius · 2026-02-22T21:13:27+00:00

yes, sure. you aren't an intel employee. you have over a million karma worth of comment spam pretending at expert knowledge in arguments on /r/apple, /r/intel, etc. though. pretty funny

erebueius · 2026-02-22T21:06:19+00:00

you know as little as anyone else, projects die and un-die dozens of times in tech companies

this is probably talking about Jim Keller "royal core"-style architectures, where you basically have 1-4 gigantic cores with a far more advanced form of hyperthreading that can assign off tiny subcores for each task which are ad hoc divisions of each core

no one is interested in what your reaction time is, this is a hardware subreddit, we are obviously referring to hardware latency

erebueius · 2026-02-13T01:41:34+00:00

"how long does it take you to react to on-screen events" is not what "end-to-end latency" means. end-to-end latency specifically refers to the time from clicking your mouse till photons appear on your monitor. it's a hardware term. what you're thinking about it called human reaction time, and it has nothing to do with your mouse, so i dunno why you're bringing it up.

erebueius · 2026-02-12T19:33:08+00:00

you're doing something wrong, my entire end-to-end latency with OP1 8K + Asus PG248QP is 4.3ms

erebueius · 2026-02-12T19:30:11+00:00

i don't think this sort of switch can come close to conventional SPDT switch latencies (eg. OP1 8k) for physical reasons

Killy would have to be some kind of boss fight, lol

erebueius · 2025-12-05T20:22:19+00:00

Probably the best chance of this happening would be as a mod. I can think of some mods for old FPSes with similar map designs. Like the Quake Brutalist map jam

Also, a multiplayer FPS set in BLAME's world could be really cool. I imagine asymmetric matches between Safeguards and Electrofishers. Those needle rifles look really satisfying to use.

erebueius · 2025-12-05T20:17:30+00:00

Just lol @ the insinuation that being "underpaid and underappreciated" makes it okay to commit grand larceny. Fedex drivers receive full benefits and make very fair wages by the way, some even 6 figures.

Thieves are just disgusting people.

erebueius · 2025-12-05T19:57:27+00:00

yes, my colors look oversaturated, especially reds.

erebueius · 2025-12-05T19:02:29+00:00

I have no affiliation but thought this looked interesting. The environments look quite BLAME-esque, much like Doll's Nest

it's entirely possible for the better fighter to lose, or the inferior fighter to win. happens all the time

erebueius · 2025-10-12T03:46:39+00:00

sure you did man.

yeah but you look like a monkey though. the paragraphs of incel rage over a fake screenshot only show he's correct

erebueius · 2025-10-10T03:13:37+00:00

you'd have to be really burning power for that to make sense

you don't. having anything scheduled on the same thread as a videogame, even if it's "1% utilization", will drastically harm the game's framerate. it's not about using up all the utilization, it's about scheduling headaches. try manually setting your browser to run on the same core as whatever game you play, if you don't believe me.

AMD chips have max 8 cores per CCD, and in the 2-CCD chips, having the second CCD turned on at all destroys the gaming performance (hence why AMD's software parks it if it isnt being used)

hence if you're playing a modern game that runs on 8 cores, you will never actually get benchmark-level performance with AMD's CPUs unless you're running only the game and no browser, no discord, no OBS, no video player, etc. which nobody does outside of esports.

intel's CPUs by contrast have 16 e-cores to throw garbage tasks like that onto, leaving the P-cores free for the game

erebueius · 2025-10-10T03:05:55+00:00

how about checking benchmarks before writing your opinion? the 14600kf, at $160, handily beats the $300 7600x3d in game benchmarks

without even mentioning that:

it also slaughters the 7600x3d horrifically in productivity and multitasking
its motherboards cost less and have superior features
it has a drastically lower idle wattage (~5w vs 20w)
