Precisely this. I didn't notice it much when I started using it, but I switch between phones frequently for software development, and I definitely feel the difference. It's nice, but it's not a life-changing difference. It's just a difference.

Short answer is no. Long answer is no. The problem is their drivers (and hardware) are very young so there's a lot of odd things games can do that hurt performance in unexpected ways.

In practice they are not as good because Intel lacks experience, but I think they're on the right track. Is it worth the money today? Probably not. The risk of coming across a game that doesn't run well is just too high.

I really wanted Intel to be a serious contender for my last GPU purchase but there were too many good, consistently performing options in that price range for it to make a lot of sense.

Wow! It was hardly worth it to begin with.

If an instance is just being slow I'll hop on to one of my other accounts, let alone down. My client makes that easy to do.

User-driven load balancing!

All refers to everything that your instance knows about. Your instance only retrieves data for which users are actually subscribed.

All can be weird on small instances if the user subscriptions don't have a nice distribution.

This is a good point for not choosing too small. I've made a couple of accounts, and it looks like when a servers crosses that 1,000 or 2,000 user mark you start getting much better consistency than the micro instances with only a few hundred users.

I usually find that I have to reload a few times if I'm the first person to try to subscribe to a community. That happens uncomfortably too often if the instance is small. Even then, it can take a days or possibly never to properly federate.

I'm sure these issues will be fixed, but for now, I'd like myself a small instance but not too small so as to avoid issues with consistency.

Only 47%? You'd be a fool to invest.

It's a pretty picture but oh do I hate spider webs.

I feel like a gigabyte of installation materials is probably a bit more than necessary.

Eczema, where your typical lotion just won't cut it.

Who knew that removing functionality and limiting access to your product was the path to social media success.

I always access from a smaller instance. I didn't even notice I was looking at older content.
