the ARK sank

[4004]

A slightly dramatic subject making the point the intel ARK page format has degraded, a lot. The formatting is retrograde and the information density is too low.

Example
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2697 v4 (45M Cache, 2.30 GHz) Product Specifications

Encouraging all to leave feedback.
The feedback option is at the bottom left of each CPU detail page.

The compare function is still functional but they really trashed the listing, I've since moved on to use CPU-World (Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 - CM8066002023907 / BX80660E52697V4)

 

[T_Minus]

Ugh, yes. I was talking to someone about this the other day it's horrible.

 

[mstone]

It's like they made their mobile version the default

Yeah, its another example of dumbing down to the lowest common denominator.

Heaven forbid that you keep detailed CPU information a bit technical!

The trend of "more white space is good" is extremely annoying on ALL websites!
Structured / Table data for specifications IS FINE!!!

ARK is akin to w10 settings, marshmallowly fluffy goodness.

Not really. :-|

Looks fine to me...

So here's what it used to look like: Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9300 (6M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) Specifications
all the data fit on basically 2 screens.

Current version Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9300 (6M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) Product Specifications takes about 4 screens for the same information. It looks a lot like the old mobile version Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9300 (6M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) Specifications
so my guess is they decided to save money by having only one version, but the new formatting sucks for information density.

Meh. If I'm looking at ARK, chances are I'm looking for 1 or 2 specific details, which I just Ctrl-F for, anyway.

Well of course you can search in the page, but before intel screwed it up you didn't have to.

reminds me a bit on what happened to the freenas gui ..
technical stuff just shouldn't look like smarthone-apps or mediacenters ...
