Sorry but i'm really starting to think that Linus is a complete idiot

There were a few mistakes though. He claimed the rig pulled 1500 odd watts with Unigene going. What would happen if all 7 were running Crysis 3? I am sure it would pull much more than that, given Unigene doesn't really touch the CPU. Mind you that Xeon is probably extremely low powered any way so I may have a moot point.
I'd like to see Linpack and Furmark on all the machines for the power consumption test, but I guess Valley is considered to be a "gaming" benchmark the video was all about gaming... so.... ?
I dunno about that. Considering that Microsoft have such a massive chunk of the server OS market too you'd think they would have figured out CPUs sometime ago..What didn't get thanked enough IMO was the one thing that made it all work - Windows. It just goes to show how well it supports cores and so on.

unRAID (the software used for the virtualisation) is a Unix based (as far as I can see). I'd be surprised if you could do this using Hyper-V.
Windows 8 and on are far better for core support and multi tasking. 7 only supported four cores natively which was years old from the Win2k days (when they supported like two CPUs with two cores). Wasn't until 8 that core support was massively improved.
Oddly enough due to me having an FX8 which were notoriously hated by 7 I jumped onto 8 pretty much at launch. I don't regret it either. Takes about two minutes to make it look and behave like 7 only the structure is much more modern![]()
Haven't watched the video, don't need to. Brings in a whole new era of pointlessness, unsubbed immediately.
I haven't learned anything from watching his stuff in so long, it just seems to be an excuse to try something stupid expensive and do stuff wrong intentionally now. I've always said they have done FAR TOO MUCH "do as we say, not as we do" stuff, which is not the right mentality when you are trying to be informative.
