Accepted a commission of a 512GB M.2 sata SSD. Ended up being the weirdest SSD I've ever made. SM2258H controller, 512MB ECC DRAM, 4 samsung SSV2 TLC from PM1725 with 4 interposers, making it a true 3d-nand SSD.;) Also somehow it runs at DDR400 without a problem. Even only 40+ badblocks in...

Yeah, definitely regreted sending it in for RMA, if only I know it could take 8 months and cost me tons of money, with zero fault on my part...:mad: And now I honestly ask for your suggestions. It happened like this. I bought an Asrockrack SP2C621D16-2T on October 30 2022. The board came in...

Please select the MCIO port. There is only one in those three.

I've written a small batch to simplify the firmware update process for samsung NVMe SSDs on Windows. Instructions: 1. Get the firmware file and Samsung SSD manager. You can find most of them here: https://c.gmx.net/@324567863383819227/SlDWEtrmRueJ4nCqdGfOsQ/ROOT 2. Copy the batch file(bat)...

I have a Dell DC S3610 1.6TB with firmware DL2B. I noticed that there are DL2D and DL2E firmwares which both featured critical fixes that could prevent the drive from bricking so I went to update. First, the stand-alone update utility didn't work, so I did some research and found this post...

8490H stepping E3 QS. non-SNC SNC4 is even weirder. Inter-die core-to-core latency is about 65/58/77/70(yes, the latency is somehow higher while both cores are in the same die.) This result is somehow promising, as the inter-die latency on the lower end is actually very close to what we...

This should be the LGA6096 CPU, picture is from one of my friends.

I think an E-ATX board can only fit one of this on it ;) And there's some extra beefy buck converters.

All from my friend as he bought and delided one. We also heard that this unit currently only has 1 of 4 dies active with 28 cores. He's trying to find a eval board for this thing to test it himself. Seems to be 4 HBM pads on the corners that aren't soldered though.

4 big dies all together connected with co-EMIB(more than 112 cores per package?), no discrete north bridge, and an Altera FPGA. The 4 missing die positions may be reserved for HBM or silicon-photonic devices.

I think many of you have seen the LGA4189 Ice Lake-SP picture posted by my friend, but here's an LGA4677 Sapphire Rapids(SP?) CPU. Can't delid now cause it's not mine.

Trying to evaluate the power consumption to see what frequency the CPU actually runs at in rendering. Here's where I noticed something interesting. The 4.0GHz 9900k actually beats 3700x(4.05G) by more than 20w in rendering. The voltage is auto(default p-state frequency-voltage pair). Here's the...

The first picture is an official image from AMD. I can't find any reliable image for intel skylake/cascadelake so I drew it myself. Made this to compare the size of each components for different vendors. If there is any problem please tell me, not very sure about the"execution ports" part. BTW...

I was using microarchitecture exploration mode of vtune 2020. The problem mainly came from "port utilization" tab, where I thought the four "cycles of n ports utilized" should add up to be 100%, but their sum is lower than that. I did this test on a variety of applications, but none of them...
