    Why did the i5-2500k and i7-2700k last as long as they did?

    Also, do you think the new Amd CPU with 8 cores last as long as these legendary two?

    Phison pci4 drives modified with enmotus firmware

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 07:49 PM PST

    Before I go into what I mean behind modifying the firmware for a standard Phison SSD, enmotus's drive uses a combination of SLC and QLC(possibly 5LC for mass production) for their drives using the fast-slow drive cashe algorithm, and are physically different to the rocket SSD and the other phison controlled drives. https://imgur.com/a/UoadOSs here's also a vid explaining the new drives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoI104rl708

    But, Phison already has a "slc mode" that is used as the drive fills up for high speed in testing (samsung does this too, gives good numbers empty) and at the cost of space, a partial slc/qlc hybrid could be done in firmware, where there isnt the extra time wasted on the CPU for StoreMI or expensive lanes being taken up for (a very expensive) nvme raid. would you rather use a standard SLC or optane cache with a QLC SSD for sustained high speeds or what method would you choose to keep your writes high? are full QLC drives fast enough? would you give up space for speed when your device fills?

    Honestly I after fill my samsung TLC drive I wish I could squeeze more performance (I already trim, but this method would make better use of the firmware) for the drive's loading times, especially for these new laptops that dont have hhd bays.

    How do receipts printers work?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 03:51 PM PST

    Hey everyone, I hope this is the right subreddit to post this.

    My friend who works in retail recently told me that the store where he works buys off the shelf receipt printers, plugs them directly into the cash/pos system with one cable and then they start printing receipts right away. I was wondering how this works?

    How come receipts printers can be mass-produced, plug into almost any cash drawer and just start printing receipts? Are they programmed using an API? Shouldn't the Pos/Cash machine be programmed in a certain way so that when you plug in the receipt printer, it sends specific information to the receipt printer? Each store has different types and length of receipts, how does a receipt printer handle all this information? Feel free to delve into the details if someone knows the in's and out's of these machines.

    Thanks!

    When Nvidia Ampere laptop refresh would likely happen?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2020 12:03 PM PST

    Rumors indicate March announcement of new Nvidia architecture. Even if they would be announced in Q1/GDC March what would be the most expected timing for new laptop GPUs? Back to school, Nov/Dec holiday season or later?

    H1 laptops with AMD and newer Intel CPUs will use Turing which then would be getting closer and closer to being replaced by a newer generation. It would be odd to launch a flagship that would loose all the shine few months after. AMD 5500M and 5600M will come but desktop variants don't really have the power advantage versus similarly performing Turing models (although mobile is a different environment for both companies). Plus it usually takes time for mobile variants to be released by Nvidia.

    Consoles launch by the end of the year - would that be something to compete against with new cards? And Cyberpunk 2077 postponed - releasing much better raytracing before the game launches?

    And last one - TSMC capacity. Right now it's limited but will be "increasing" when Apple and other mobile companies move to 5nm plus TSMC new capacity planned for this year. AMD is expected to then become biggest 7nm customer where as Nvidia wasn't mentioned anywhere in the "top" listings - if they can't go all-Samsung and did not plan for TSMC early on then they may be in like for capacity much later in the year.

    So will it be aggressive and unexpected spring or something in like with various predictions at late 2020 or later?
