It's fascinating to see how Zen architecture has evolved and how its advancements are impacting performance in both general computing and specialized tasks like those using CUDA and Tensor Cores!12345
i always "knew" all that, and even followed ken shirif(i probably recalled the name wrong) deep dive into older cpus... but i didn't actually know bining now was about entire cores! i assumed it was a couple extra paths and features. makes sense i guess but before those visuals i never thought much about it.
Binning by core has been done for a long time, actually. I remember it being a thing with Sempron and Phenom, where AMD was so aggressively binning that you could unlock the locked core(s) and go from dual-core to quad-core.
I really enjoyed the details, just curious why he has comments turned off on the video? Looks like all his videos have comments turned off... feels like there is a story there?
Probably the right choice. Go open the YT comments for just about any video and count how many high-quality discussions are being had. I'm usually surprised to see even one well-thought out question or comment.
Bot spam on youtube is insane: I have a number of tiny view count videos (electronic test equipment teardown/repair -- no production value in the video, it's mostly intended as a reference for the next person doing a similar repair) and I regularly have to remove comments from the pornographic avatar bots. It's enough to be annoying and I am considering turning off comments even though I don't even have many videos, many views on those videos, or proximity to a money fountain.
Beyond rude people making rude comments, I imagine the channel gets lots of bot spam, especially crypto scams, given the content’s proximity to the space.

I image it helps keep discussion more civil and improves their quality by introducing a barrier.
