Hell their compiler still disadvantages AMD processors... even after they were ordered to cut that shit out.

Which one?

Everywhere I've seen it discussed just refers to it as the "Intel compiler" so I'm not sure I understand the question. Long story short, their compiler detects what processor is being used, and if it's not Intel then instead of streamlining and finding the optimal path for data it will instead use the most basic route possible which is (usually) significantly slower. That's my understanding.

So basically Intel doesn't bother to optimize their compiler for processors that aren't their own.
I don't think they are obligated to. They also have nothing to gain by doing so so why would they? It's freeware.

Just avoid proprietary compilers in general.

No. They actively detect processors that aren't their own and actively make them run more slowly.

The courts ruled against them in.. 2005? 2009? I forget the year.

So far I've seen one intel build and one AMD build. Any others want to take a crack at it? Just want to see as many ideas as possible before I pull the trigger. Thank you!

Feel like I built your pc
Last time
Intel new platform is aids
But intel is still better
Could stick with their current
Consumer range and just go nuts
Oh 2 1080 ti play everything 4k
Maxed out

You did actually. That rig was legit for the longest time. I gave it to my younger brother as a graduation gift so now I'm here having to build another one for myself.

I can't see how that would be illegal to do with a freeware compiler that people are choosing to use. The courts have failed to set a proper precedence.

I mean a single 1080 ti
Gets 60 fps 4k every game

The biggest dick monitor
Is 4k 144hz ips
It'll cost 2000

Or you get 1440p 144hz
Which is like 700

Depends on how much u wanna
Spend on monitors
