I think we may be looking at these wrong. Yes there's a visible throughput/latency improvement here but what about other factors? Power savings? Cache efficiency? CPU cycles saved for other co-running processes?

These are going to be pretty hard to measure without an x86_64 simulator. So I don't fault them for not including such benches. But there might be more to the story here.

Also is anyone reminded of Final Fantasy: Tactics by the small isometric maps?

No. He was a misogynistic piece of crap that wrote morally questionable material that was also disrespectful to his assistants, illustrators and fans.

Allegedly, the "good" and the "kind" were stolen during the Great Battle of the Terry's, where one Terry used the "good" to build a Temple, while the other Terry with a meteor sword used the "kind" to empower actual quality fiction.

MH series always does one big (console) one small (mobile) in that order. Last gen World was the big and Rise was the small.

This is probably gonna be the big one :)

Because this wouldn't be targeted towards a single device/connection. This is for a household of 5+ streaming 4k, running servers, having cloud (yada yada) IoT devices running simultaneously.

It's the hobbyist tier. It's like asking someone "why do you ever need more than one cast iron pan" when they're into cast iron pan collecting.

This person must be fun at parties.

Also, does nobody reach out to people privately to resolve conflicts these days? Even a simple "Hi, I saw my post was removed. Could you please clarify why it doesn't fall under the news category" would do (Not "I object. I'm right and you're wrong" though). There are more efficient ways to clear disagreements without immediately making a fool of yourself in public.

If it helps you avoid users it's a plus.

I'd take deciphering the Rosetta code over that any day.

How many KDF iterations did you set your vault to? I have mine at 600,000 so it definitely takes a moment (~3 sec) to decrypt on older devices.

The decryption being compute heavy is by design. You only need to decrypt once to unlock your vault, but someone brute forcing it would need to decrypt a billion+ times. Increasing compute needed for decryption makes it more expensive to brute force your master password.

In fact, LastPass made the mistake of setting their default iteration count to 1000 before they got breached and got a ton of flak for it.

I would say you'll be fine. Most games don't compile with avx-2 anyways since it'll crash if you run it on something that doesn't have them (which is a lot of CPUs) and AVX-512 is straight up only available on Xeons, Epyc and zen 4. Nobody is going to use that for consumer software.

The only game I can think of using AVX is a Skyrim mod for realistic physics, where the author provided binaries for AVX-2/AVX-512. So it won't affect most compiled applications much since you need to compile with it first (which almost nobody does).

It's the AVX-2/AVX-512 instructions that have issues. In most cases unless you're running a server CPU (or extremely recent consumer CPU) you'll be fine.

Scary for HPC/AI? Yes. For most people? Not really.
