If computers could generate their own power then 100ghz would be viable. Countries cant handle consumer demand lmao.
04:10 Ignorance is the refusal to learn new things. What Linus is talking about is 'lack of education'. It only becomes ignorance when that person is informed of the facts and refuses to accept them. 😁
one word came in my mind when i click the video
CACHE
I maybe showing my ignorance here, you have IPC and GHZ, why wouldn't instructions per ms be more appropriate?
The mine analogy is too confusing. The only reason I understood anything at all is that I already knew about them beforehand.
Ah physics, holding back all the technology.

I thought this is where linus is going to mention the sponsor
Does a big chunk of your audience work in mines?
This is why I don’t understand why we still refer to cpus in voltage terms. Why not call them FLOPS. A 2 teraFLOP cpu sounds more impressive than. 3.3 gigahertz to me.
can anyone get me a laptop for free
Who care what these charts say, try playing tarkov with 2.6ghz .
All CPUs are equal, but some are more equal than others.
My last name is Miners…
Linus is CLEARLY an AMD fanboy 😆
just do what apple does and say random metrics like "70% faster than other phones" and don't elaborate on what phones. works every time
I can’t remember the processor names I think there was an old Intel processor and an AMD one that started with FX in the model name. I know people who have had these for years because they can easily overclock them past 5GHz and they thought that clock speed defined everything. I have no idea how you can be a computer nerd and not even run benchmarks to see what is actually happening. They thought it would be way better than my i7-6700K at the time and it definitely wasn’t.
title correction : Why CPU Ghz Doesn't Matter As Much As you thought it does!
I'm putting this one out to the community, maybe you guys can help? I'll start with the hardware:
-cpu: core 2 duo, don't remember which model, will be upgrading to a core 2 quad q8200 I have laying around.
-gpu: Gigabyte Radeon HD 6750 1gb
-memory: 8gb DDR3, don't remember the make or model or other specs, but it's a matched set.
-storage: 120gb generic SSD with dram cache for OS, 1tb 2.5 sata Seagate hdd, was external, works great as internal
-motherboard: Asus p5g41-m le
-os: Windows 8.1 pro or ultimate (don't remember which) 64 bit
The issue:
At first the issue seemed to be the keyboard as the system would post but never check nvram if I turned it on with the keyboard plugged in. That was solved with resetting the bios to default values. Once I got it to boot into Windows I found a new issue, it wouldn't respond and eventually got the bsod. After a little bit of troubleshooting I discovered that Windows would become extremely unresponsive and crash with the ethernet cable plugged into the onboard Intel gigabit connection. Not even a buildup to a slowdown, it became unresponsive the instant the cable plugged in, and unplugging it didn't return responsiveness or stop it from getting the bsod.
And PLEASE don't tell me just to buy a new computer, I can't afford to, I can't even save for one. I have less than $700 a month before rent, bills and food. I'm just shy of broke by the time I pay all that. All the parts I have were given to me as gifts or traded for my services (repairing computers and bicycles)
7:58 HLTV confirmed Fallen new LTT IGL
9:11 where is Dave2d?
I like the Binding of Isaac music in the background, especially that its set so low that it does not interfere with what is said. While I love that soundtrack, its annoying to have two things going on and interfering with each other and I only noticed because I listened to it specifically to notice.
i want some advise my pc is overheating what should I do
"Why CPU GHz Doesn't Matter!" Meanwhile… 3:14
Spectre targets Branch Prediction
Overall a very good video, but it does have one glaring oversight… A discussion about instruction sets. Trying to compare the IPC of x86 versus RISC is even more complicated than comparing IPC between AMD and Intel in real world work loads.
So cores are for more threads? And you cannot just process more threads with a faster core?
This is just Linus talking about mining
If a snapdragon 450 1.8ghz and a snapdragon 480 5g at 2.6 GHz well it's faster but I the world of Linus umm 5.9ghz don't matter but a 3.3 GHz processor mattter ??
this video should be on Techquickie
got lost in the miner analogy a bit. but good enough.
This is so true. Just look at AMD A10 series. these things easily go 4.4Ghz stock
i justine? tf? really 🤣
Good video.
So does cpu gigahertz matter:
Well yes but actually no
Well, the Wii is obviously better because it has higher frequencies than the gamecube across the board, am I right?
This is the only scenario where that statement would be right (that I know of), since the Wii has very very very similar of not the exact same specs except for clock speeds.
linus why these shity ass titles
people with pentium 3 4.00ghz be like: IM YOUR KING
does this mean OCing my i7 9700k to 5Ghz is pretty much pointless?
Even worse, people that think "i3, i5, i7, etc" instantly means it's a good and modern CPU, but just about every single one of those has spanned over a decade with largely varying quality.
It's like when my dad bought us a GeForce FX 5700 in the 2010s.
It didn't even run Oblivion and was worse than our computer's on-board video.
Wow, this test is using a same motherboard and cpu as mine, but mine gpu is rtx 3060Ti😂😂🤣🤣
I wish I could work for LMG, so I could learn from these guys and hang out, help make videos, carry equipment around, its like a really cool school campus, u know? where you DO need to get sh**t done, but you also LEARN from really cool people,
The sad thing is we have to watch linus flex the things we dont have and can't afford.
dont ruin 999 likes
4:50 this is the problem right here applications need to utilize more cores if developers utilize more cores they can do more things especially if a lot of physics is involved one example is BeamNG drive I'm surprised game developers haven't made destructible environments yet, I wish they would bring that back and isn't it more efficient to have more cores than one screaming fast core I mean CPUs are getting more efficient and their clock rates been staying the same and AMD wants to push more cores it's not rocket science I won't be too surprised if in the next few years AMD new chips get more power efficient also wouldn't be too shocked if AMD started producing arm based chips that are super efficient.
