Is it worth upgrading for DDR4 or is it basically the same as DDR3?
>>54232988
5 melons
>>54232988
Man, give up on your DDR3 AND 4, that shit came out in the late 90s, early 2000s.
What you're really looking for is DDR X or X2, the whole foot/bar rating system has a major overhaul and there's like, 20 difficulty levels.
3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 5
>>54233010
image for reference
In theory there are 5, but in practice 6 have been used.
>>54232988
Honestly, no. Not worth it. You won't notice any difference between a 2133mhz DDR3 and DDR4. Just try to get the highest frequency in general.
>>54233012
this
>>54233025
How do you know the pieces have been taken from the other melons?
>>54233010
nice
They've rotated the quarter pieces so it's 4, sneaky bastards.
>>54233043
Because one shouldn't waste food. And why would the artist trying to be artsy cut 4 separate halves if you only need to make two cuts?
There are four 3/4 melon slices, and 4 melon slices that are either 1/4 or 1/2 of a melon. It is impossible to ascertain the exact amount, but I'd wager that each of those melon slices are the 1/4 removed from the larger...
Oh who am I kidding, there is only 1 melon that had a 1/4 slice removed. Then the image was duplicated and rotated in some way 3 times, with some lighting introduced in photoshop.
>>54232988
0
Only many sections
>>54233075
>rotated in photoshop
The number of lines on the outer melons are different. Were those manipulated too?
>>54232988
1
The image is an optical illusion achieved with mirrors and photoshop.
>>54232988
There are no water melons, there are however some watermelons.
There are no watermelons, just a jpg image showing some watermelons.
>>54233055
Why do the stripes appear to radiate from the centers of the quarter pieces, then?
its definitely not worth upgrading just your ram if you have ddr3 but if you're building a new pc then you might as well
0-le this is picture, not melons
1-rotated group (you're an idiot)
5-maths
5-glued together the cut out prices
6-obvs.
8-assuming new melons for each piece
>>54232988
For now, no, its not worth it.
You have to replace motherboard and CPU for it.
8 Watermelon pieces, 5 whole watermelons.
>>54232988
Right now it's just a small bump up from the faster DDR3 speeds.
If you're really far behind, it makes sense, otherwise wait.
4*3/4 watermelon
4*1/2 watermelon
it would take 6 watermelons to create this
>>54232988
5.
1/2 * 4 + 3/4 * 4 = 5
>p.s. And no, an airplane on a treadmill can't fly since it never moves
>>54233226
Can we end thread already?
0 since watermelons are 3D objects, they can't be in a 2D picture, they wouldn't fit
>>54233363
but (4/1)*(3/4) is (12/4)=3 and 4/2 is 2 and 2+3=5 are you retarded
This is actually an autism test. If you answered 5 you have autism.
Nigger the variable "watermelon" wasn't defined. You're all shit
>>54233510
If you answered 8 you're actually a nigger, because to niggers all watermelons are just that: watermelons.
>>54233544
Yeah, can't tell if it's asking for how many watermelon pieces or how many whole watermelons.
>>54233435
>Cut one quarter out of for water melons
>It makes 2 halves
I think you don't understand how matter works practically.
You can't join 2 quarters together and pretend it's a half fucktard.
>>54233779
But you can slap two halves together and pretend its a whole?
Who is the fucktard again?
>>54233812
>You can slap two halves together and pretend it's a whole
No you can't, but the minimum amount to get that exact configuration of watermelons is 6 fucktard.
You can get two halves from a whole water melon.
You can't cut out 4 quarters and suddenly make believe they become halves.
This thread, i'm fucking dying kek
>Is it worth upgrading for DDR4 or is it basically the same as DDR3?
DDR4 has substantially higher latency and it requires a system overhaul (mobo, CPU and RAM) if you're upgrading from DDR3. It does have a higher bandwidth ceiling than DDR3 but until it's actually up at high enough speeds to overcome the downsides there's no incentive to switch to it.
Also we don't know if any two of the halves were from the same watermelon. Could be anywhere between 6 and 8 unique watermelons in that picture.
none, they're all watermelons
>>54232988
Buying everything new? DDR4 is a little bit better, for the same price. Go for it if the price of the platform is within your budget.
Already have a good system? The price of upgrading to DDR4 (new mobo, new CPU, new RAM) is not worth it.
Not for most people.
If you cut them up, you have five frankenmelons
If all the halves came from different melons, you have eight katawa suikas. The new hit VN! Which melonfu will you choose?
If the halves came from the same two melons, you have two whole melons that got bisected and four damaged melons.
Now, for the real test
There are three boxes, pictured. You can not see inside the boxes. You randomly pick a box and draw out a gold object. What is the probability that the next object drawn from the same box will be gold?
It depends if you define a watermelon as having to be whole or not. So there is either 5 or 8 melons.
>>54233996
50%. I think you worded that question too clearly.
>>54233996
Is that a remix of the Monty Hall problem?
>>54234027
Even with that wording, your answer is still wrong.
lrn2 cumulative probability faggot
>>54233010
DDR 2013 is OK.
I would suggest for op to try SM before deciding.
>>54232988
depending on the interpretation of the question, and wether two halves come from the same watermelon or not, 5,6,7 and 8 are all valid answers.
>>54232988
>>54234035
Ok fine.
2/3 you chose GG, 1/3 you chose GS
Meaning 2/3 chance the next object will be gold, and 1/3 that it'll be silver.
If you have the money then go for it. DDR3 isn't saturated and neither will DDR4 be. The only benefit DDR4 holds is the X99 platform having 40 direct PCIE lanes to the CPU thus if you're doing a highend Sli machine for the price you'd spend it'd be worthwhile going X99 so you can run all 4 GPU's at their fullest potential (or close to).
>>54234074
You're assuming the ones in the middle are all halves. What if they are quarters?
5 melown
>>54232988
5 melons
> middle 4 half = 2 melons
> corners 4 1/3 = 3 melons
>>54233363
Who do you know the halfs are from the same melon then, retard
>>54232988
where did the 1/4th of the watermelons go?
>>54233033
But server ram 2133 mhz ddr4 became cheap and consumes the least amount of energy in the market.
Watermelons are not technology you autists
>>54233779
It's specifically asking what's in the picture, not the logic behind cutting a watermelon.
>>54232988
There are no water melons. It's one word.
There are however 4*3/4 of watermelons, and 4*1/2 watermelons.
Assuming the 4 halves are cut from the same watermelon, then there are 2 whole watermelons and 4*3/4 watermelons.
Also I wanna know about DDR4, the thinkpad I'm going to buy has DDR4, but I could go for a different thinkpad with DDR3L.
>>54234930
what the fuck
>>54233812
You struck the problem in the core of the essence. You can make two half watermelons out of one whole watermelon, but you can not make one whole watermelon out of two half watermelons.
>>54232988
Anything from 8 to 10.
The reasoning for this is you can get four halves in the middle from 2, 3 or 4 melons.
>>54235533
I mean from 6 to 8. Fuck.
>>54232988
8 or 6
>>54232988
5 melons..
4*0.75=3
4*0.5=2
2+3=5
Answer is 5 melons.
But to answer your question, it's basically the same as DDR3. Don't bother with it.
>>54232988
There appear to be five (5) watermelons.
>>54233905
>higher latency
which lost it's meaning with ddr4
4
>>54235669
Nope. Latency is still more important than bandwidth, since even lowly DDR3-1600 provides plenty of bandwidth for most applications, and going beyond that gives marginal returns at best.
DDR3 is still better, due to better latencies. Its like the time when DDR3 came out, they are almost the same speed (OC DDR3), but DDR4 will be somewhen worth it when you get 4000 MHz DDR4.
How can the melons be water when our mouths can't drink them?
>muh latencies
This isn't 2001 anymore idiots, large CPU caches have nullified most of the disadvantages of high latency
But seriously, DDR4 isn't really a significant upgrade over DDR3 until you go 3k or faster, at that point it's clearly a significant upgrade
>>54235719
That's a great question... but how much water is there in the Universe?
>>54235772
...quintillion solar masses?
>>54232988
5 melons
>>54233010
Honestly I prefer the 3 difficulty settings one. Did much change besides the songs since ddr3/4 days?
>>54235877
how do you figure?
>>54232988
(3/4)*4+(1/2)*4=5
>>54232988
Inconclusive from the image provided, Even with the shadow, I don't know if all of those those inner slices are full halves. Some could be quarter slices, and we can't see the underside. Similar sized sections could also have been removed from the corner ones.
>>54233017
there's no information to assert that 4 center pieces are 1/2 and not 1/4; possible missing bottom section.
0, there are no whole watermelons.
>>54233008
lol idiot
>>54235828
units
Will changing from an i7-3770K stock clock to a an E5-2650 v3 give me an overall performance boost?
>>54236180
err...shadows?
>>54232988
distinct melons: at least 5, at most 8.
the "half" pieces could actually be quarter pieces (pic too shit to tell from shadows) from the same melon, but they can't be the missing quarter pieces from the corner 3/4ths melons.
by volume equivalent: 4 or 5, by same logic as above
>>54232988
>Is it worth upgrading for DDR4 or is it basically the same as DDR3?
some types of applications run faster with more bandwidth, most things will not need it though.
don't bother replacing mobo, RAM, and CPU for a minor upgrade.
if anything, pray that Zen works so that you can buy one of them later this year or that Intel is forced to actually drop their prices for once.
then get a new, actually affordable 6/8/10 core system, at which point you'll be on DDR4 by default anyway.
>>54234930
I meam WHAT IF? Honestly what the hell if
>>54232988
Whoever answers anything than 5 should GTFO /g/.
Trick question, "watermelons" does not have a space in it, therefore 0.
>>54232988
Parts of 6-8 watermelons that add up to the same mass and volume as ~5 whole watermelons.
this thread clearly shows how autistic /g/ is !!
>>54233023
tfw the only ddr machines near where u live are ancient and you have to stomp with all your might for it to register
>>54232988
8 cut Melons or,
3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 3/4 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 Melons.
So basically 5 whole melons.
Or zero, if only complete melons count.
INCONCLUSIVE EDDY
Delete this thread
Not really. If you're upgrading for other reasons I'd probably pay the now rather slight premium to go with DDR4 over 3, but it's not enough of a reason in and of itself to upgrade. Running DDR3 myself on a Z77 mobo, probably won't replace mobo for another 2 years, maybe longer.
>>54234930
But the tops of them are at the same elevation as the ones you can see all the way through the bottom. I'd say it is a safe assumption that they are halves.
>>54238868
>But the tops of them are at the same elevation as the ones you can see all the way through the bottom
You don't know that.
I still use 1333mhz ddr3 ram
Dont see any reason to get anything faster, sounds like a gaymer meme
>>54239436
Faster ram is negligible for gaming.
>>54233008
I understand you, anon, and I agree with you.
2 melons cut in half
4 melons with a quarter cut out.
6 melons or 8 if the halves are from different melons, but we can only go by what we see in the image.
due to perspective the "inner melon pieces" can also be 1/4 of a melon each so 4 watermelons
>>54239585
Only if you ignore the shadow which is round and the obvious height they share with the 3/4 melons.
You ``5 melon'' shills will come up with any excuse, won't you.
8 melons pieces are in the image.
At least 6 individual melons where used or the image is altered.
The melon pieces amount to a total of 5 melons.
The real question is how can these melons possibly stand like this? The once facing towards the middle must somehow be fixed in place. I call bullshit.

No, it's not worth upgrading for DDR4. If you're upgrading because you want a more powerful CPU, then sure, go with a DDR4 platform, but it makes absolutely no sense to upgrade BECAUSE of DDR4.
>>54233435
But it's not the wheels that move the plane.
>>54239009
are you fucking blind
>>54232988
4, the things in between are the cut out quarters.
>>54240358

Who's saying they didn't put something under the quarters.

there 12 melon, becuase quarters and 4. math prove right again
>>54233996
>You randomly pick a box and draw out a gold object. What is the probability that the next object drawn from the same box will be gold?
50% if you assume you always draw from the top down. (You either picked the left box or the right box, with equal probability)
If you assume you could have drawn either object out of the box (with equal probability), then the chance is 2/3rds.
>>54232988
None. It's just a picture of watermelons.
>>54233996
2/5 since you've already removed one gold from three silver plus 3 gold
>>54232988
no
there are 8 melons if we assume each of them is unique
6 if we assume halfs are parts of the same melon
1 if we assume optical illusion
>>54233996
50% because after you draw the first gold object you eliminate one box from the possibilities because it doesn't have at least one gold object
>>54232988
Cut 2 of the Half Watermelons in half again, this gives you 4 1/4 pieces, put the 1/4 pieces on the 3/4 pieces and you have 4 watermelons + the 2 half watermelons so 5 watermelons in total.
>>54232988

Fuck that image, there's no concrete right answer so the OP can just be all smug and say, "No, I actually meant THIS way so your answer's wrong :^DDDDDD"
DDR4 will be much cheaper in a year's time, so it's a better investment for (likely) negligible quality performance.
There are no water melons here only water melon portions. Thus the answer is 0

>>54233996
If they already drew a gold piece from a randomly selected box, that means he could have only picked the first or the second box. If he drew a gold object out of the first box, the next item he draws will indefinitely be gold. If they had picked the third box, there's no chance that the next object will be gold, as the only golden object in the box has already been taken out. Since there was an equal probability that either box was chosen, we can say that across both boxes, a single golden object has been removed, leaving us with 2 golden objects left and a single silver object, giving us a probability of 2/3. I originally thought it was 50% until I thought about it a little more.

WEEEEEeeeel, son. SSeeing as you drewed a golden bar, you either drew from the first or third box.
SO..
Assumiting you drawn from the first box, and you retched down in thar again, the probability you get another gold burr is ABSOLUTELY 100%.

Quarter melons would fall away from each other if you tried to stand them up to represent a half so the four central pieces must be halves meaning some faggot stole one watermelon's worth of watermelon.
>>54251407
Well if you're gonna say shit like that there might as well be 1 million watermelons separated by wormholes all in just the right spot to make them look like one watermelon.
