Altium is far from the only choice for professionals, but if you have to ask, you can't afford them.

The Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem only defines the sample rate to perfectly reproduce a signal of a certain bandwidth.

It says nothing about noise, distortion, dynamic range. In these areas it is impossible to create a "perfect" DAC, although granted the best DACs are indistinguishable from perfect as far as human perception is concerned.

AMD HBM GPUs, the only ones that a PC gamer would buy, are known to suffer from issues with the HBM due to thermal cycling issues

415 volts on a 30A breaker, like you might find in an undergraduate electrical engineering lab, is very lethal. I'd hazard a guess that's what the OP is talking about.

IBM had 5GHZ in 2014. [1] Clock speed is not a measure of performance alone.

Besides, most of the work in reaching a certain clock speed or target can be owed to the foundry (in this case TSMC which is world-leading, certainly beating Intel on most metrics at the moment.)

Comparing to the over-tuned enthusiast SKU of 2018 is not a fair comparison for either. Also 600W is not impossible to cool, there are GPUs at that level of power for a while now.

Windows desktop. Fairly high end. Gaming, some side project development work. Ubuntu laptop - XPS 9560 (don't buy one, they are crippled by thermals and poor sleep support even in windows). Mostly used for web browsing.

Please provide numbers for this if you're going to make such an extroadinary claim.

Australian large corporate workplaces whose employees notified this site - a little bit less impressive than it sounds

+1 KeePass + dropbox/gdrive/ "getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem."

"unspecified frequency" is LPDDR5-6400. Better than anything else you can get for a reasonable price, and well into the experimental range with a 12th gen Intel cpu

Yeah, STM32 spans the range between the $1 and the STM32F7 at 200Mhz

Linus not knowing what he's doing is the trademark of their channel though

A decent fabric mousepad. Night and day difference.

Yeah you can generally underclock a modern intel or amd chip down to 400MHz, but of course other bottlenecks (storage, RAM, networking) will be massively out of proportion

Professional CS:GO is played mostly at 1280x720 and 300-400FPS+ There is definitely a market need for this type of setup, whether you think it's a dumb idea or not.

It's not like Apple would ever do it, but the M1 should have heaps of OC headroom. Given that the RAM is already on package, all they need to do is turn up the CPU multiplier.

AMD chips are doing similar clocks to Intel on TSMC N7, so Apple could (but won't) have a chip running way higher than the clocks they are currently shipping with.

Also, it's kinda inaccurate to imply any overclocked setup will crash, there's plenty of room unless they come turned up to the max from stock like the 12900k.

While i wouldn't agree that HN is a conservative forum, there is certainly a lot more conservative-leaning material posted here than similar tech-focused forums.

See any thread about California, Texas, diversity & affirmative action, COVID, etc.

Yeah nothing has changed after the late 2000s when the memory controller moved to the CPU die rather than the northbridge

On-die HBM is already happening in the CPU space:

I think for the subset of people that care about having AVX512 on their 12900K, and bother to disable the E-cores to achieve it, they will be using enthusiast motherboards that don't block bios upgrades in this way.

to be fair, that's unavoidable with AVX-512, you can't underestimate how much power it draws compared to non-vectorised instructions. That's why Prime95 is such an effective stress test and draws 150% of the power that Cinebench R20 does for example.

the 3d printer tech at my former university, who had access to heaps of those $10-100k machines had a similar "just buy 10 Prusas" view

The cold temperature increases the clocks that AMD's boosting algorithm will request. See here for a demonstration using LN2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g94rNe4XSGU

You're missing the point really. With a competent desktop cpu/mobo it's easy to peg the CPU clock at a certain frequency.

And with modern CPUs the power density is sufficently high that the die and heatspreader thermal resistance is enough to cause substantial temperature changes even with completely overspecced cooling.

It's the same engine with some updates, except game messages are routed through a centralised server. All of the stuff about lockstep simulation still applies.

Good thermal management. Doesn't throttle down to unusable speeds under high CPU load or combined CPU/GPU load.
