| Amadahl’s law dictates it’s approximately always better (as in, more efficient computationally) to have one super fast thing than many slower things doing the same job in parallel. |

| Yes. but for embarrassingly parallel tasks it barely matters. |

| ▲ | xyzsparetimexyz 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I am aware. I was talking about HLE. Talking about how fast you can run through HLE in a serial manner is like talking about how how fast your non-simd single threaded cpu ray tracer is. Its simply not how any sensible person would tackle this problem. | | |

| Such a deep and smart insight. But why is that important if they're measuring time? |
