The L1 increased in size as much as it increased in associativity. So aliasing is not gone.
It's better than Bulldozer and Piledriver, but writes are still penalized.
An Intel L3 is several times larger, and it services more cores plus a GPU.
each core has 2mb of L3, you hop on the ring bus ( adding extra latency) to reach the rest. You knew exactly what i meant.
i've always wondered how much performance that actually costs, im guessing a lot if it causes the core to completely stall to very little if there is lots of work to do.
The multi-hop latencies are not that far from the measured latencies of AMD's L2. For whatever reason, these seem to regularly go over over the documented 20 when benchmarked, and Sandy Bridge could get 26-31.
The "true" value of Scrypt based altcoins is questionable and generally they really valued against Bitcoins, with miners trading altcoins to Bitcoin and then Bitcoin to fiat currency; indeed there are multiple pools that auto-switch between the most profitable altcoin (by value against Bitcoin and the individual network difficulty) and some will even auto trade the altcoin and pay you out in Bitcoin. While the value of Bitcoin is low so too is the value of altcoins.
? They are the same parts. The primary difference is that one target market is dependant on 3rd parties building systems and the other can start generating income from the channel virtually immediately.
