Itanium: the Prescott Pentium 4's, now in server form! Seriously though, these things generated so much heat (TDP of 122W for a 1.66 GHz, 677 MHz FSB Iantium) that I wonder why they even bothered releasing these space heaters for processors in the first place.

At around the time I was thinking about mimics, (the past few days) YouTube recommended a video about mimics. I find mimics interesting, the ability to change shapes, not really having a defined form

Not true, cannot be proven, true but misrepresented.

Bound by flame is actually decent. Cranky blocking system makes everything hard early on tho

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

The power consumed by a CPU (which equals heat dissipated) is given by P = CV2F, where C is capacitance, V is voltage and F is clock speed. If my data (collected on a single CPU, an i5-9300H) is correct, C scales quadratically with F*, and V scales linearly with F*. That would imply that P scales to the fourth power of F... which probably explains why even the best of processors can't go any faster than 5 GHz stock. Even then, you'd need some really good liquid cooling to see such high clock speeds under load.

*The "multiplier" mentioned represents the clock speed. Multiply by 99.8 MHz (the average bus frequency for the CPU tested) to get the actual clock speed.

Edit: But I really think I'm wrong in saying that power scales to the 4th power of clock speed. This chart came from the same data set, and it definitely shows that power grows quadratically with clock speed, not to the 4th power.

Is Jdate just a Japanese date? Are there Kdates?

Y'all haven't read JDatE? Sucks to suck, I guess.   
Just avoid the film adaptation! At least until after you've read the book, I guess then you could watch it for some cringe-y drek to laugh at.

I'm pretty sure Jdate is for Jews.
