[2025-12-10T00:00:16Z] idk i went through a phase a little bit ago where i recompiled everything on my system with -march=native and patched up musl for a faster malloc and memcpy impl (the same patches chimera linux uses) and the difference was only visible to me in synthetics [2025-12-10T00:00:28Z] i think my hardware is too high end for this stuff to make a noticeable impact [2025-12-10T00:00:47Z] if i were building everything from source i'd do x86_64-v3 just so all of my machines can use those packages [2025-12-10T13:40:36Z] the difference is only ~10%, which the eye wont notice. which is mostly what I meant. [2025-12-10T13:42:02Z] in your case, you could actually have a binary repo for everything, or just use rsync to sync ~/.cache/kiss/bin across all of your machines, so only your most powerfull machine does the heavy lifting. now the rest dont have to compile much of anything [2025-12-10T16:36:24Z] kris_: i need maximum corecount at minimum price. i keep telling you i can't afford modern hardware. older stuff is all i get to work with. that, and i want to libreboot my main machine, which further limits my choices. also, the notion that you need a fucking twelve core processor for games is silly. even a quad is still serviceable if it has decent clocks and IPC. also, CAD very much does not [2025-12-10T16:36:30Z] require a high-end graphics card. [2025-12-10T16:37:24Z] sad_plan: i got stuff for the workstation and pulled the trigger on an rtx 2070 off ebay as well as some more memory for my current system since the 4790 it has is already reasonably serviceable for the games i play [2025-12-10T17:29:57Z] midfavila: im not saying you need current generation hardware, stuff from like 5 years ago would be fine which is why i mentioned ryzen 3000 [2025-12-10T17:37:18Z] like you can get your high core count and decent IPC for way less than modern hardware if you buy used [2025-12-10T17:37:53Z] and yes sometimes cad does require a decent gpu believe it or not, if all you're doing is drawing 2d stuff then obviously not [2025-12-10T20:48:35Z] midfavila: I think the 2070 will serve you well. not that you mentioned that you care, but theres tons of modern games which should run just fine using a 2070
