I'll be buying a new computer...

stoo at least you can use it as reserve stove if your ordinary stove stops working 
that server probably could keep all made source code since coding began on its drives and run 32 asm snippet simultanously 

at least laptops/tablets/phones you can charge in train stations and trains and some newer buses
tablets and phone most power consumption is when use its screen much and age of battery if its too old and lose charge too,while newest (unused) battery seem to hold charge better

My Dell Optiplex (core 2 duo, 3 GHz, 5GB RAM, 2 internal HDs, 2 USB HDs) does me just fine. (With Windoze 7.)

Dunno how old this system is; close to 10 years now? Oh, and I paid less than $100 USD for it.

Hopefully it'll last me til the end of my days too.

I made a test program to copy 1MB of data from one address to another then back again, for 1000 repetitions.
I ran 8 instances of the program at the same time to test the fans and temperature while running. Normally when not doing any intensive tasks, my PC is very very quiet, and runs fairly cool, 50-60C.

During the testing, temps went up to no more than 85C, and fans went full throttle, of course.
All the while, I was still able to do other things like browsing the web, refreshing web pages, opening files and folders then closing them. No hiccups, it was as if nothing else was running. My old PC's always had the fans blowing so loud, it seemed as if a jet airplane was ready to take off (even after a recent dust removal/cleaning and new paste on the CPU, for better conductivity for CPU cooling) and forget about any multitasking under a heavy load with the old and slowish clunkers.

I rate the tests a success on the new PC. I hesitate to run such tests on the laptop, though. There is much less airflow, and it is mostly - if not entirely - passively cooled. But the laptop is somewhat faster under the same testing conditions for the speed tests I have run on it so far, compared to the new PC.

You forgot to mention fry eggs on top of computer :)

Or... keep my bedroom warm on a cold winter night.

Wonder if you can use hot water from a watercooled computer to brew your coffee on ? :)

You certainly could if you were running a server farm for AI or for bitcoin mining. Those suckers gobble up enormous amounts of energy. To the point where certain places are banning them because of their incredible water usage.

Members who got newer computers, I have a question for you: do your computer have avx2 or AVX caps,so i am not restricted run timings in laboratory only on my own avx2 caps computer?
Otherwise it feels pointless try develop skills in using these avx2,AVX opcodes

Give me a sample exectutable using those, and I will test it and see...
The PC isn't very new, but the laptop is.

Okay from a third party tool - results were not a complete listing of instructions sets available. text removed.
New listing in #342

I would be interested, for sure.

anyone understands why does Intel deliberately disabled AVX512 *** support in recent gen CPUs?
