I'd bought one of the first haswell notebooks to play around with tsx. Before I'd time to do so Intel found the tsx bug...

I hope to have time to play around with it one I have new hardware (I refuse to do performance development on virtual).

But honestly, most remaining performance/scalability problems in pg are more algorithmically caused. So micro optimization, and that's what I'd call tax/hle, aren't likely to biggest bottleneck.




Wasn't TSX only enabled on Xeons to begin with?


No, the higher end i7 mobile processors had it as well (i7 48xxhq or something IIRC).
