- AMD says that not only will its new CPU stomp all over Nvidia's new CPU - three times the performance per watt on a rack-scale deployment, but its current two year old CPUs already deliver twice what Nvidia is promising. (WCCFTech)
Promises vs. promises is all whatever, but promises vs. currently shipping product when the currently shipping product wins is not great for Nvidia.
What's more, Intel's current CPUs are nearly 50% faster than Nvidia's future CPUs in the same tests.

OpenEdge databases have a weird quirk that the larger a delete transaction, the slower they get (something, I think, to do with rollback journaling). If you need to delete (say) a few million rows, it's much faster to delete 5000 at a time in a loop until there are no left. You could save an hour on a 5 million row delete, and it gets worse the more rows you want to whack.
