Fucking X86

Name: Anonymous 2010-05-07 6:11

seriously why the fuck is X86 so fucking terrible! it has like a million instruction of which 1/10 are used and all the other ones are either, useless, fucking uncomprehendable, or just so goddamn slow that nobody uses them. seriously most of the functionalty could be implemented if you just combine the simple ops, but no intel had to add instructions that combine like 10 of these so that every single reference on the net looks like invalid perl code. is there anyone on the planet that actualy knows what half of the mnemonics mean? i mean goddamnit i mean just look at some halfway full refrence, what the fuck? what kind of people do they hire at intel? and what do these whackos fucking take? i could take LSD for 50 persons and still wouldnt be so high that i could do such crap? and what the hell is with all those these weird registers? who the fuck uses 3dnow! anyways?
goddamnit i had it with intel and X86!

is PPC any better? what is do you use /prog/?
and where can i find some good PPC asm tuts, i would really like to know more about POWER arch.

i fucking hate this shit X86

It's not.  It's by far the cheapest way to afford a fast computer.  Can you afford POWER7?

it has like a million instruction of which 1/10 are used and all the other ones are either, useless, fucking uncomprehendable, or just so goddamn slow that nobody uses them.
The unused instructions don't matter.  The rare ones are implemented in microcode anyway.

>seriously most of the functionalty could be implemented if you just combine the simple ops, but no intel had to add instructions that combine like 10 of these so that every single reference on the net looks like invalid perl code.
Sounds like you're just too dumb to understand x86 assembly.  Stick with C.

>is there anyone on the planet that actualy knows what half of the mnemonics mean?
My C compiler knows enough to make high-performance output.

>and what the hell is with all those these weird registers? who the fuck uses 3dnow! anyways?
3DNow! is AMD's "innovation".  However, SSE are used quite a bit, with SSE2 replacing the x87 FPU instructions for floating point math in x86-64.

It's clear that you don't have a job, so you won't be able to afford a high-performance POWER machine.  Just stick with x86 and C.
