Who knows, this may be a good thing. AMD may be making better HSA implementation changes earlier than expected. Or maybe they found a major defect that if fixed may increase performance dramatically. Who knows. This may turn out to be something big but we’ll just have to wait and see. They have already released destkop Trinity though. You can purchase an HP desktop Trinity right now from Best Buy and maybe even a couple other places. This is confusing though, what AMD is really doing.

You must have an older
You must have an older engine, if you are manually setting timings by turning the distributor. Anything probably 10 years or newer has the ECU handle that stuff, and most new cars I have seen have individual coil packs for each cylinder.

More on topic, that’s what I thought too when I read the title. You’re either ‘advancing’ or ‘retarding’ the timing. Awkward word to use in this way, IMO, but not offensive at all.

(and if you’re just a few degrees BTDC, your ignition is indeed too retarded. Should be about 15-25 degrees BTDC so you can leave a little time for combustion.)

I actually know the full
I actually know the full definition in its original sense. What I got from the title was that the PERFORMANCE of desktop trinity parts would be retarded. Since the word is meant in a slowing or limiting (rarely in form of time), as opposed to a date change which it would be more accurate to use a word like “withheld” or “delayed” (boring though that is.

Yeah delayed I can live with, if its performance was “retarded” now that would really suck. I mean no its not supposed to fight the i7 or even the i5 really but yeah double check what people think of your title Jeremy.

Yeah but nobody who reads the title “Desktop Trinity may be retarded” is going to think “Desktop Trinity may be delayed.” In fact, nobody uses the word “retarded” as a synonym for “delayed.” It’s a lot easier to just use the use “delayed.”

Political correctness, especially the expurgation of perfectly good words, was best described by Lewis Carroll …

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'

In fact it is exactly the word to be used as it specifically describes what has happened.

Definition of RETARD
transitive verb
1: to slow up especially by preventing or hindering advance or accomplishment : impede
2: to delay academic progress by failure to promote

You can choose to take offense if you wish but I am not going to limit my vocabulary because you have assigned your own meaning to a word.  I would also suggest you stay as far away from Penn & Teller as you can.
