I suppose that is not the correct name, but I did not bother to look it up. Jul 19 03:44:46 hmm I am not even sure if conduct is the right term... Jul 19 04:16:12 Vajb: Oh, you mean thermal paste/grease/compound. Jul 19 12:14:58 mmm, so i7-3520M easily matches i5-5300U Jul 19 12:15:09 besides power consumption, of course, http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-3520M-vs-Intel-Core-i5-5300U Jul 19 12:16:13 yeah, which is why laptop CPU power has flatlined for the past few years Jul 19 12:16:48 most manufacturers have pretty much abandoned the full voltage 35W CPUs, switching to 7-15W ULV CPUs Jul 19 12:22:06 i have not been followingdevelopments in hardware for a while now Jul 19 12:22:25 i don't even know what socket CPUs fit in nowadays (on desktops) :p Jul 19 12:22:52 still using a G41 motherboard with a Core-2 Duo processor Jul 19 12:23:54 My 7700HQ has 45W TDP Jul 19 12:24:15 And it had almost died on my due to heat Jul 19 12:24:41 Was totally out for a day, then suddenly reanimated just when I was going to file a ticket Jul 19 12:25:03 sicelo: I'm still using a dual-socket Nehalem (LGA1366, from 2009) system, and every year I just crank up the overclock by 200MHz :p Jul 19 12:28:29 huhu Jul 19 12:31:12 haha, aren't you 'killing' it? Jul 19 12:40:07 eh, looking for an excuse to upgrade it anyway Jul 19 12:40:19 keeping the volts under 1.3 though, don't wanna straight up kill it Jul 19 12:40:27 If it's not broken, keep fixing it Jul 19 12:59:52 I guess it's supposed to go instable at some point Jul 19 13:00:03 unstable Jul 19 13:01:21 running it at 4GHz on all 12 cores @ 1.25v, iirc the max people did on these was around 4.3GHz on voltages acceptable to run daily Jul 19 13:05:01 12 real cores? Jul 19 13:05:03 or 2x6? Jul 19 13:05:08 2x6 Jul 19 21:11:24 sicelo: AMD desktop socket names are easier to remember than Intel desktop socket names: AM2 for CPU with integrated DDR2 SDRAM controller, AM3 for DDR3, and now AM4 for DDR4. Jul 19 21:13:42 Intel has released Core i9 too but I do not know if it is used for portable/mobile applications. Jul 19 21:18:00 I meant for somewhat recent desktop CPU socket types. Jul 19 21:55:44 Most sockets have logical names if you know there meaning. Intel's Core iX is just confusing marketing IMO Jul 19 22:03:20 Certainly has minimal relational to anything like age, socket etc Jul 19 22:22:11 sixwheeledbeast: I meant that AM2, AM3, and AM4 seem more memorable than socket names based on the pin count even though I have memorised some of those too but I lost track after around LGA1366 for Intel because there are many sockets and LGA775 (Core 2 era) is still the newest era of computer I have because it still suffices for me. Jul 19 22:25:36 Especially if the 16 GiB of RAM I ordered will work with my Core 2 computer. Jul 19 22:28:00 Well Intel have a LGA and a Socket name and none of that relates to the generation. I would say pin count is more logical than Socket G2 for example. I do agree the whole thing is confusing hence the Core iX marketing. Jul 19 22:43:40 Yes, LGA775 is Socket T. Jul 19 23:10:30 There is a disco song from the 1970s to the 1990s that resembles Candy Man by Aqua, which makes me wonder if Aqua copied the older song. I do not know the name of the disco song but it is the last track in this compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sygYX4awbDk I guess I should say that Candy Man by Aqua resembles the disco song because the disco song is older as far as I know. Jul 19 23:29:14 Apparently the title of the Aqua song is actually “Lollipop (Candyman)”. The English-language Wikipedia article about the Aqua song does not mention a resemblance to another non-Aqua song. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jul 20 03:00:01 2018
