@marcan42 Hey, saw your recent PS4 talk. Per core CPU is slow but using 8 cores, how fast is it compiling Gentoo packages? Like glibc?
-
I know, just curious. Athlon w/4x Jaguar cores are ok even when hampered on single-channel DDR3-1600. Those have Xeon like bandwidth to RAM.
Dual channel DDR3-1333 would have more memory bandwidth than the PS4 has *for the CPU*. The CPU bus is relatively constrained, vs GPU
-
-
But most compute workloads are not bottlenecked on memory bandwidth anyway, and the PS4 might have higher latency.
-
Latency for sure and w/ small cache prob hurts. Oh, didn't know it had a separate bus to CPU. Tks for input, very interesting.
