@matigo Goofing with themes. I changed it back to solarized green.
@matigo What I am looking at is the power usage. That would be a game changer for servers.
As just one example, a recent microprocessor design using RISC-V has a clock speed of 5 gigahertz, well above a recent, top-of-the-line Intel Xeon server chip, E7, running at 3.2 gigahertz. Yet the novel RISC-V chip burns just 1 watt of power at 1.1 volts, less than one percent of the power burned by the Intel Xeon.
It would be amazing to see x86 architecture finally be relegated to the dustbin of history.

Here in an hour or so, I head off to Walmart to grab a LED TV to use as a display. Been using one at the appt and it is so much easier on my eyes and I love the huge screen real estate.
@streakmachine I just find it amazing. They take, arguably, the game that put them on the map and screw it up so badly the menus lag even top end cards. Then, they turn around and make a flawless port to a portable console with somewhat limited specs.
Random aside: How can Blizzard so totally screw up the Warcraft III remaster yet knock it clean out of the park with the Switch port of Diablo III?
@streakmachine Being a Palm OS developer at one point, I was the opposite of amused to see Garnet wither and die on the vine.

@streakmachine The last time I was truly impressed by HP was 1991. They had released a model of the Vectra that was only a 286 but the thing was amazingly fast and responsive.
