Hey, DeepGeek here from the TalkGeek to me podcast, www.TalkGeekToMe.us.
|
|
So we call on a quick rant to Hacker Public Radio, basically because all my in-real-life
|
|
friends won't understand this.
|
|
A few years ago, I bought a beautiful single core processor computer.
|
|
You know, I knew that a guy in my age group would be nostalgic for the days of one core
|
|
on a board, a really nice top-of-the-line board, a tie-in motherboard, TYA, and motherboard,
|
|
which is a high-end motherboard with an Optoron AMD Optoron processor single core.
|
|
And buying, you know, what's called Workstation Great Hardware, solid as a rock, really loved
|
|
it, but that was years ago.
|
|
Now it has USB 1, the USB SNES of the USB 3.
|
|
So I'm getting the itch to buy a new computer.
|
|
So just out of curiosity, I said, well, what would it take to keep the Optoron brand, the
|
|
Optoron processor, and, you know, the tie-in motherboard in modern architecture, you know,
|
|
so I could get the fast-to-backplane speed, the newer, the new memory standards, you know,
|
|
all that good stuff for the motherboard.
|
|
So I go into New Egg, and I ask New Egg, you know, what's the current tie-in motherboard
|
|
an Optoron processor.
|
|
Now get this, the minimum new one they sell has two CPU slots, and the latest Optoron
|
|
has a minimum of eight cores, which means you'd have to buy a 16 core motherboard.
|
|
I don't understand.
|
|
I want someone to explain to me what a single person would do with 16 cores.
|
|
I mean, I just don't get it.
|
|
I must be getting older or something.
|
|
It's going on, 16 cores, I mean, my Optoron's got to be bored out of its mind half the time.
|
|
I'm just reading web pages, I don't get it.
|
|
So leave me a comment, you know, most of you know my email address, DG at DeepGeek.us.
|
|
Send me an email if you have a similar feeling or similar experience.
|
|
I'd love to hear from maybe one who wants to, you know, talk to me about this crap.
|
|
So that's my rant called, what do you do with it?
|
|
What would an individual do with this?
|
|
Tell me, please, I mean, is there some kind of game that needs 16 core, what do you
|
|
design, nuclear bomb, what physics experiment could you possibly do?
|
|
Well, I can't imagine 16 cores for one per, what do you do with it for workstation?
|
|
That's my rant.
|
|
So I hope this makes an acceptable HPR episode.
|
|
Have a great day.
