its the oposite tho?...

feral drift Jul 4, 2025, 3:10 AM

#

pure karma its the oposite tho?...

Again its a bit fuzzy area for me.. But afaik, the X3D is better for certain games, as the cache is is larger.. I assumed it was for handling stuff like texture files better

pure karma thats the vrams job

True..

The Cache on X3D CPU is helping with stuff like Game logic, AI, physics calculation.

Which frees up a lot of RAM proccesing..

At least thats what i got out of the article about X3D :)

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:14 AM

Apparently AI decided I had one

feral drift True.. The Cache on X3D CPU is helping with stuff like Game logic, AI, physics ...

yea i mean idk the detaisl but its defedently just more preloading of ram stuff helping with faster processing even with slight slowdowns and inconsistencies

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:16 AM

#

I'm sure I'd see some level of benefit in higher FPS and perhaps other tasks but for me right now there isn't enough juice for the squeeze between the cost, the flip, actually swapping the part out

#

Guess I'm set on gaming rig for awhile...

pure karma Jul 4, 2025, 3:17 AM

#

wait what the 9800X3D has so much less cache than i tought what

#

my 13700K has more cache than it

#

only L3 is bigger

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:17 AM

#

Well actually

#

Eyeballing that lol

#

Pretty sure that classifies as PC gaming related lol

feral drift Jul 4, 2025, 3:19 AM

#

Quote from reddit.

Larger v cache on the physical cpu. A larger cache means more local data is stored on the cpu and this means it isn’t relying on the memory (RAM) to supply that information to your cpu. This typically translates to more frames and faster frame times.

pure karma Jul 4, 2025, 3:19 AM

#

so X3D is just puting the L3 cache on crack

#

i tought it was all 3 but no

#

so i have better cache than a 9800X3D (kinda)

feral drift Jul 4, 2025, 3:20 AM

#

Guess it would be the 64MB 3D V-Cache that makes the X3D excel on gaming

pure karma Jul 4, 2025, 3:21 AM

#

yep although i wonder why

#

youd think the l1 and l2 would matter but clearly not for gaming

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

It also has a lot of the L3

feral drift Jul 4, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

L1 is for rapid small instructions, dedicated to individual cores.

L2 is slower and larger, dedicated for a cluster of cores.

L3 is slowest but largest, shared amongst all Cores

pure karma Jul 4, 2025, 3:23 AM

#

still makes no sense since gaming would be L1

#

i think whats likely going on is L1 is just so small L3 is doing all the work instead

feral drift Jul 4, 2025, 3:24 AM

#

I guess the shared L3 on all cores is most beneficial

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:25 AM

#

probably the shared bit

#

That and the types of instructions the v-cache is desgiend for isn't suitable for small sizes

#

either way... it works

pure karma Jul 4, 2025, 3:27 AM

#

on another similar topic i still have no idea what ram being cached is in reference to

#

like why is like 99% of my ram being used cached

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:28 AM

#

RAM is never left empty

#

It'll cache data until it runs out of cache space then start overwriting

#

unless it doesn't have enough to fill it

pure karma Jul 4, 2025, 3:28 AM

#

so this is like 10+10*10^10 levels deep

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:29 AM

#

There's used... then there is used when it comes to memory lol

pure karma Jul 4, 2025, 3:29 AM

#

your data goes from your storage to your ram

#

from the ram to the ram cache

#

from the ram cache to the vram and cpu cache

#

to the various cache levels

#

and then disapears into heat once its used

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:30 AM

#

#

Eventually that bar will fill it, but it'll mostly be yellow

#

just old cached data in case it gets called on lol

charred relic Jul 4, 2025, 3:31 AM

And sometimes despite having plenty of free ram at all times during current boot... the machine will dip into swap

#

i read something about that once... there are certain things that just do that

if i launch anything else intensive whiel satisfactory is runnign my vram usage goes through the roof for no reasson

or as much of it as i can anyhow

thin trout Jul 4, 2025, 3:38 AM

#

pure karma my 13700K has more cache than it

One core of a 13700k can access 2+30MB of L3 cache, the rest is inaccessible and from gaming POV that mostly makes it useless

One core of any of the x3d CPU's can access 96.5 MB+ of cache.

#

The funnel and the neck are made of leaded potash-soda glass or lead silicate glass[6] formulation to shield against x-rays generated by high voltage electrons as they decelerate after striking a target, such as the phosphor screen or shadow mask of a color CRT.
So the x-ray part is result of the electron beam doing work.
So if the electron beam wasn't doing work, no x-rays either.

#

As x-rays are light-waves in very high microwave range, not particle radiation.

#

that electron beam is basically beta radiation.

#

If the energy was high enough.

#

Not going to try to find the amount of x-rays a tube at use generates compared to general radiactivity exposure from just being in normal Finnish home, or to eating a single banana.

#

One study using CRT monitors concluded that because of the low dose rate, accurate dosimetry was difficult. It estimated the effective dose (ED) to an operator working in front of a monitor was 454 μSv yearly.
That's less than one percent of the dose limit.
For 8-12 hours a day, for 5 days a week, for year.

Not even measurable in 1982 study:

#

They gotta check but they know pretty much right there what's up

#

The bright side is I get out of jury duty now...

#

I don't mind it other than they need to get with the times with how they deal with all of it.

#

in 2025 you shouldn't need to show up just to sit around all day

#

during ccovid you had to mail int he form then if you were needed they'd call you... like guys that's how it should have always worked

#

I'd not be selected based on one thing

#

I could say two words that almost guarantees I don't end up on a jury.

#

There are also certain offenses I would refuse to give a guilty verdict on anyhow.

#

Even if they caught them red handed... because I disagree with the law itself.

#

But if you are heard saying the words "jury nullification" you likely won't be selected heh

#

yeah sorry not sending some dude to a cage because they had a little weed

#

If it's something dangerous then we can talk...

#

Plus... where is the victim of the crime.

#

Not real big on sending people to a cage... if there wasn't a victim

#

What's lame is that a lot of judges will get pissed about that jurry nullification stance but uhhh that's the point of a trial of your peers

#

if they were meant to judge based solely on the law and no morals then the jury would be lawyers and judges, not regular people who don't know the law like that

#

As a juror you are allowed to vote based on your own conscious, it's part of the law. Despite that people have gotten into sticky situations with judges over it.

#

Ultimatelt a judge can't do shit to compell you to behave differently so it's just a hassle

#

REally jurors should be informed of all of this... it should me required

#

because a lot of people have NO idea they don't have to go soley on the law

#

Yes that's what has gotten people into hot water lol

#

Like handing out fliers in front of the courthouse lol

#

So not only do they NOT tell jurors all this they are against them even knowing. Which is bad.

#

Every country is dipshits

if you really want to get down to brass tacks, you can find a reason to complain about everyone

Definition of planet

The definition of the term planet has changed several times since the word was coined by the ancient Greeks. Greek astronomers employed the term ἀστέρες πλανῆται (asteres planetai), 'wandering stars', for star-like objects which apparently moved over the sky. Over the millennia, the term has included a variety of different celes...

night girder Jul 4, 2025, 7:16 PM

When the ancient Greeks came up with their definition of planets, they counted Earth's Moon, and Sun as planets along with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Interestingly, Earth was not considered a planet, but rather was thought to be the central object around which all the other celestial objects orbited.

so there was a definition.

you've gotta do that kind of plot thing right

Well it's like... I dunno yeah

#

sometimes somebody is just so good in a role you have to be careful replacing them

#

or in other cases... ending that character killing them off entirely

#

They could have replaced the OG guy it's not like he was a brilliant actor or anyhtin but he was really good for that part. And the guy they used as a replacement was just a totally different vibe

#

I never watched the last of us but i do remember hearing something about that and people dropping out after some character died

#

i only kept up on (barely) a surface level

#

But with the Djinn character it would be kinda like for Return of the Jedi replacing Jones with Mr Bean as the voice of Darth Vader lol
