A 10% IPC boost is underwhelming for what is supposed to be a major generational leap. Unless it's accompanied by higher clock speeds, or the IPC boost is greater than 10% in games, I'm not sure that it will be enough to compete with Zen 5 X3D, let alone Zen 6 X3D for gaming. Single-core performance is super important and cannot be compensated with more cores, whereas the reverse is true, you can compensate for fewer cores with better single-core performance. -

Been happy with Windows 11 myself even since first release in 2021, sure it hasn't always been perfect, but nothing is per say.. Issues i did have was minor ones, which is normal with any OS really. I still use Windows 10 at times on my unsupported Gaming Laptop, and i find myself using the Windows 11 Desktop more. Eventually replacing Gaming Laptop with a Windows 11 Compatible one somehow, someway this year or possibly next year at the latest, but its gonna happen--(May save all my Bing reward points except the 1000 to have extended support for 10) then work on getting quality Replacement hard) -

Geez, this is dumb. I use my laptop sometimes in the dark when doing astrophotography to control my astro-PC... this explains why I have to keep entering my PIN when logging back in. So stupid. I can't see the keyboard in the dark, and I can't have lights everywhere to light it up because everything is very light sensitive (including my eyes!). -

Naturally. I don't care about brand loyalty at all as it's all about price/performance/reliability etc (even what RejZoR said below is a great point to). basically bang-for-the-buck. because at the end of the day... one wants the cheapest possible price to maintain a certain minimum level of performance (or thereabouts). because generally after a certain point with CPU and GPU's the price starts to sky rocket without that much difference in performance where it really matters. p.s. historically I have bought more Intel CPU's and NVIDIA GPU's but I have had some AMD CPU's and one AMD GPU. -

Both of these companies as well as Qualcomm and Apple need competition. Otherwise, they just coast. I don't prefer macOS, though I like some of Apple's hardware, but if anyone needs competition, it is Apple. Their prices are already outrageous and they need to have a reason to produce good hardware and at least keep prices remotely reasonable. (It is criminal what they charge for RAM upgrades especially.) Qualcomm needs to push AMD and Intel not to be so sloppy with the performance/efficiency aspect. Granted, AMD has been doing quite well in this respect considering they are not an ARM architecture. I personally want to have more options that truly compete with Macbook Air and Macbook Pro's on the Windows side. It is difficult to achieve what Apple does since they control the entire stack and that is fundamentally different for Windows PCs other than maybe Microsoft Surface PCs.

Question
Ronnie Sunde
I am having some problems with visual studio 2005 professional,
I am declaring a simple double to 0.7 but in runtime it is 0.699999999999996 which is not CLOSE ENOUGH precision for my program...
I was wondering if this is a normal thing, or is it a bug in visual studio or is my hardware broken...?
check the image for a break/debug right after a few doubles have been allocated, you can see my code and you can see whats in mem..
the following info is to try and give a bigger picture of my system:
OS Name Microsoft? Windows Vista? Ultimate
