The Hot Chips event, which is hosted …

    My interest...

    ...is in the low power range. It's just like the photographic megapixels race, everyone wants more numbers when I want better quality at a lower pixel count.

    What I want is a low power system that gives me a reasonably performing desktop, and despite the promise of ARM, nothing serious has yet been delivered in desktop form.

    I played with an ITX format Sedatech, but it just isn't there yet. I also think that desktops which perform but use less power would be a big selling point in business as well; just think how much power would be saved by an organisation that chews half the power on the desktop.

    When you said 'Hot Chips'

    I thought you meant that really crap ironic hipster band.

    My mistake. Carry on.

    No. Just... no.

    "For the M3, you get a total of eight threads running at 3GHz, or a combined 24GHz of aggregate clocks, and for the M4 you get a total of 32 threads running at 4.5GHz, for a combined 144GHz of aggregate clocks."

    Not how SMT works. If you really want to do this "aggregate clock" thing, the numbers you're looking for are 12GHz and 72GHz..

    Pipeline goes *where*?

    I'm not going anywhere with IBM after that night we renegotiated the support contract...
