so why did you go into computer science instead of computer engineering?

>he thinks anyone gives a fuck about processing power in 2016

you understand why intel is focusing on graphics and io now, right?

>>58132001

you realize all sorts of computer components are chips, right

like a motherboard is just a big fat chip

>>58131985
>no one needs a code monkey, what we need are more efficient chips
this is why our hardware is obsolete on a yearly basis. idiots can't code for shit

>>58132010
>all we need are more efficient chips
>and by efficiency, I'm referring to motherboard design and CPUs with more and better integrated features, not what "efficiency" actually means

>>58132092

or we can focus on a computer that has less power drain as a whole

>>58132014
this is literally the exact opposite of true. Everyone knows that processing power is cheap as cock soup at this point, and is beginning to rarely go obsolete for 90% of consumers. This is why meme form factors and io are what sells right now.

It is by far a better expenditure of resources to write as much code as possible in higher level languages.

Ah yes, the bigggest issue facing modern society are the 90% of consumers using borderline ARM processors and especially the gaymen and productivity crowd using a whole 300w while they play screengames and render.

Indians could peddle generator bikes for less money.

Literally the only reason anyone would go into CS instead of computer engineering is that its competitive to get into. the content is hard, but usually admission requirements are far harder, and most people here, don't forget where you are, aren't computer engineer candidate material.

Anything else you find ITT is straight up bs.
