    Well, intel seems to be going the "right way" - trademarking the surname "Curie". Wonder if it is because of Maria or Pierre Curie, or maybe it is just radioactive, which would explain why nobody cares about it unless being paid to.

    So edgy and witty.

    "12:38PM EDT - so why not use dual 10-core E5s for the same price as the i7 10-core?"

    rekt

    To be fair, 'NUMA programming models' and 'power consumption' are valid retorts to that comparison. 2P programming with memory management is tough when threads have large memory requirements.
  • HollyDOL - Tuesday, August 16, 2016 - link

    It's not such a major pain with .NET these days, when enabled it handles NUMA nodes and memory alignment better than expected. But ofc you have to think and design, if you blindly waste all the resources... like when you run out of memory on one NUMA node, performance takes a hit where it hurts.

    IIS supports that for app pool as well.

    "12:45PM EDT - Kaby Lake is hardware accelerated for 10-bit HEVC"

    And what, Skylake isn't?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylake_(microarchit...

    "Hybrid/Partial HEVC Main10/10bit decoding acceleration." Well, I guess not. Quick, everyone chuck your Skylake CPUs in the trash!

    "01:02PM EDT - I was half expecting the John Cena intro"

    Memes XDDDD
  • JoeyJoJo123 - Tuesday, August 16, 2016 - link

    Yeah, getting real tired of them shoving their elite Reddit meme knowledge into the articles where it's not really warranted. Yeah, dawg, I see memes everywhere else on the internet, wanted to read the article for the info, not the memes. If I wanted bad memes I'd be on Reddit, but thing is, I don't ever want bad memes, so I'm never there.

    To be fair, there's not a lot interesting about this keynote. Maybe the inclusion of Intel Joule a minute ago will change that.

    It's a live blog, not an official written and edited article. I think some stream of consciousness is allowed in this medium.

    6 core Kaby Lakes?

    Adaptive Sync support from Kabe Lakes?
  • nandnandnand - Tuesday, August 16, 2016 - link

    Mainstream 6 core from Intel? Good luck. Otherwise, you can wait until... 2018 (?) for Kaby Lak-E.

    You'll get that from AMD at least when Zen comes out (ignore Bulldozer). I was hoping for mainstream Zen 6-8 core APUs for laptops, but oh well.

    "01:39PM EDT - The Gaming Toothbrush = Grush"

    Kids gonna get so addicted to brushing their teeth that they will put too much force into it and MAKE THEIR GUMS BLEED. Then they will get infected and die.

    I'm nandnandnand and I've been reporting to you live from the Intel 2016 Grush Joule Oral Keynote.

    Too much brilliance here

    Thank you for reversing the post order after the event is over. I hope this becomes a standard feature.
