Miss your no-longer-annual 12 Days of Christmas post.

You know what? I actually thought of posting it the week after thanksgiving as I usually do, but with the new crowd here, I was not sure how it'd go. Most people would have just not gotten it

Not if you add all the previous links to it. I miss the Lotus in particular.

And it has AVX512 which would be my reason for getting one, but it's still more expensive than it's worth to me. It also doesn't have a lot of the more advanced AVX512 extensions yet, such as AVX512-VBMI, or AVX512-BITALG.

Visual C++ supports AVX 512, but I am not entirely sure if the .NET GIT supports it today.

SIMD in .NET is in an unusable state anyway, but I've heard they're working on an API overhaul.

I haven't but I would like to try one and a ThreadRipper too. I work on a very parallelized program (using OpenMP) and these are exactly the kind of machines it likes. I would love to have one of each and compare them with my program. As it is, we can't get enough power in one box so we have to have two or three more as clients. We would like to be able to have one box with a couple of those chips in it to the do the whole job.

I am not sure I can convince myself to buy one at its current price. But I am still thrilled that it is available and that a home user can buy it if he/she really wants to. Expensive for sure but not out of reach.

Well, people spend more on diamonds, don't they?

Men buy diamonds for some special lady in their lives. Do you know what Herself will say, if I tell her that I bought a core i9 processor for her?  Instant divorce!

Well that's just wrong!

Now you are in trouble with both the wife as well as the neighbor whose roses you borrowed.

If the neighbor gives me any hassle, I'll go over there and kick his dog!

Women want to have equal treatment, they should buy us brand new technology in return

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I tried both a Threadripper and i9
kept the i9, my workflow seemed much faster on both (compared to the two year old i7 I was using), but there was a problem with the Threadripper that made it a no go. There is no hardware accelerated emulators for Android on Windows, my workflow lately is SQL server, ASP.NET MVC, Azure App Services and combination of Xamarin and native, and well, it would take 7-9 minutes to boot an Android emulator, and running code on it would usually timeout the rest services.
It seems like Google and Intel have some kind of deal where the Android emulators on Windows only use some Intel processors, on Linux they support both AMD and Intel, but I develop on Windows.

Sorry, I don't work @intel.

cnet sigh, they gave us the "downloader" - download the downloader to download the software, why? well never figured out why (had to dig further to find the direct & website links), they've removed sorting options (no more sorting by user ratings).
Anyway wasn't looking for software, my portable mp3 player (older sony - looks like a small sausage) finally died, so searching for "best portable mp3 player 2017"
what comes up near tge top of the list?
.... "Best MP3 Players for 2018 - CNET"
2018?? they've already decided the best for next year?
FFS, what these useless fading websites do to try and stay relevant is just annoying.
I've already long given up reading cnet reviews, so obviously biased to whoever paid them the most

Yeah, I remember when CNET was a good site...even had it bookmarked once upon a time. Now I avoid it like the plague!  (same for drivers sites)
