How does GPU driver development work? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 08:27 AM PDT Hi all, I realise this is potentially a very broad question, but I got thinking about this the other day. How do Nvidia/Radeon (and basically anyone that makes a GPU) go about creating drivers for their chips? Is this something that is done 'generically' to start with, and then the driver is optimised on an engine by engine/game by game basis? Again, apologies if this is entirely wrong, I just have no idea. I know about as much about hardware as anyone who has been building PCs for 6+ years and following the hardware space probably would, but not much more than that. submitted by /u/Raffles7683 [link] [comments]

Where are intel 5th gen i5s in new devices coming from? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 05:04 AM PDT I've seen this a few times recently. are these clones, is intel still manufacturing them, oldstock, pulled from old devices? The i5-5257u here was a fairly premium laptop cpu at the time having the iris gpu https://www.chuwi.com/product/items/Chuwi-CoreBox-i5.html submitted by /u/raptordavis [link] [comments]

Why are gaming laptops not made with a giant fan and heat sink that is as big as possible over the entire length (or is it width?) of the laptop. Posted: 31 Jul 2020 03:02 PM PDT We know that larger fans need less rotation to cool the same as smaller fans. So why are gaming laptops not made with a heat sink covering the largest possible surface, that spreads out the heat from the GPU, CPU and other parts and then has a fan that is as big as possible on top of that? Not all gaming laptops need to be light and these parts shouldn't be overly heavy anyway. It would add some height to the laptop but that seems like a decent trade-off. Keep in mind I don't know anything about hardware engineering. submitted by /u/ITG83 [link] [comments]

I don’t understand Intel’s move with the Optane Memory Posted: 31 Jul 2020 04:08 AM PDT So, my understanding is the first implementation of OM is a caching solution to HDDs, basically the same of FusionDrive or Seagate's SSHDs. Which is quite obsolete now because SSDs are getting cheaper. Now with the H10, they pair the OM to cache a QLC SSD. Which offers marginal advantages over a regular SSD. To me it seems they were reinventing the wheel and wasted R&D into a seemingly promising concept but now implementation has gone the wrong way. submitted by /u/tanphu194 [link] [comments]

Rollbacking branch misprediction? Posted: 31 Jul 2020 01:28 PM PDT Hello guys, I was actually wondering how to fix things after a branch misprediction. I have two hypotheses: We only go thru fetch & decode phases and not execute. This way, we make sure we don't alter the registers. We also do the execute stage, but if an execute relates to a branch prediction, we use register renaming so that all writes are going to different registers. I would say no need to copy the x registers of the processor, we just need to rename the one we are going to write to during the branch prediction phase. If the prediction was invalid, we "rollback" the register renaming so that we return to the previous state. Is any of these hypotheses correct? submitted by /u/teivah [link] [comments]
