I think the short answer is memory bandwidth. That dual-socket system is quad-channel per socket (assuming you have 8x4GB). So that's ~100GB/s total theoretical system memory bandwidth, which is just...

Finally getting around to setting up my 10900X system. RAM is 3200C16. Benchmark below is stock. I played around with various OCs and as expected they don't make any difference in throughput (but a...

I had a few Seagate Cheetah 10Ks fail 20 years ago just because I had a loose hot wire flopping around in my case that might periodically short on them. The nerve of those guys selling me drives than...

Yes, you should always store important data in more than one location. This also includes SSDs. I have had a SSD fail, and I have coworkers who have had SSDs fail. It's very rare, and as you say they...

I don't think anyone is talking about the processor in question running with air cooling.
If you're buying unlocked parts then turbo is irrelevant. For locked parts I guess yes you should expect...

What does /proc/cpuinfo identify the chip as? I assume it's an 8124M, which means they have an 8S blade where you get two sockets, giving you 72 threads. The most cores currently in a single Xeon die...
