Re: More ThinkStation P710 Nvidia tips (was Re: Faster gecko builds with IceCC on Mac and Linux)

I agree that workstation GPUs should be avoided. Even if they were as well supported by Linux distro-provided Open Source drivers as consumer GPUs, it's at the very least more difficult to find information about what's true about them. We don't need the GPU to be at max spec like we need the CPU

The Core i9s are a quite a bit cheaper than the Xeon Ws: https://ark.intel.com/products/series/125035/Intel-Xeon-Processor-W-Family vs https://ark.intel.com/products/126695 I wouldn't want to trade ECC for 4 cores. -Jeff On Tue, Nov 7, 2017 at 3:51 PM, Sophana "Soap" Aik

If you don't want to get into the weeds on ECC again, please do not reinitiate discussion. I do not agree that "the additional cost of ECC is very low compared to the cost of developer time over the two years that they're expected to use it", but I will restrict my disagreement to the forked

Hi All, I'm in the middle of getting another evaluation machine with a 10-core W-Series Xeon Processor (that is similar to the 7900X in terms of clock speed and performance) but with ECC memory support. I'm trying to make sure this is a "one size fits all" machine as much as possible. Also
