Intel reminds me a bit of the Phenom I and II era AMD. Good chips, just a step behind their competition, and using way too much power. Maybe Lunar Lake is Intel's "Bulldozer Moment" 🤣 But seriously, If this brings interesting competition and a change in paradigm, I'm all about it...

So no SMT on the energy-focused mobile chips (4+4 core max). Wondering if they're going to cut SMT for the big-boy CPUs?

AMD still has a ways to go before they get to the same levels of efficiency with product rollouts and customer integration as Intel. Intel has the customer outreach programs, sales rep validation, education etc. AMD is working on it, but ultimately all of that kind of effort gets put into the...

I beat ToTK and while I enjoyed it, the framerate was a major constant bad-taste for me. Lovely game, but I can't wait to see it in UHD running at 60FPS.

That AVX512 benchmark is impressive seeing as how Zen 4 was already an AVX beast.

AMD: We know naming is confusing! so here is a useful guide for naming conventions that shows that each number will be consistent and clear which model is newer and better! We will use for all our mobile processors moving forward 😊😊 AMD less than 18 months later: WOO RYZEN AI 9 HX 370 😱😱😱

Nvidia receiving "Bad Press" from gamers after going from a 500b company to a 3T company in 24 months.

I don't like the Russian government, but to be honest, with how mich huge tech companies are slowing down and struggling with sub-10 nanometre processes, it kind of makes sense to start from much more outdated, but well documented and achievable lithographic processes and play catch up. Even...

That framerate! It's like I'm AT the movies!

I honestly don't think Nvidia REALLY cares about bad press. And I think we, as tech enthusiasts, are way too confident that our being upset with Nvidia actually matters to their bottom line. Joe Gamer just wants his Fortnite to play good on his new laptop or new Walmart brand desktop and the...

Every dollar a scalper makes on Nvidia's product is a dollar stolen from investors. Also, Nvidia is riding on a lot of bad press... so what? What are you going to do? Buy the competition?? Obviously not 😂

Hey, if you have the money, have fun with it! Looks quite 'built-to-function' which is nice to see. How is the gaming performance on those Epyc chips with 3DVcache? I can see them as a great 'have it all' use-case, if they can hit framerates over 240 FPS on titles where the 4090 can handle it...

Yeah, I HIGHLY doubt this will be under $3000. Not because it costs that much to manufacture, but because this will be a beast of an AI accelerator and everyone has a hard-on for AI right now. Nvidia could price this at $9999 and it would still be sold out day-1. Any dollar they COULD make...

I agree with everything you say. But will ANY of the Copilot+ features be available offline? Isn't the whole profit incentive of Copilot+ to get as much data as possible to sell to advertisers? How does that influence their profits if it can be done offline?

There was a time when people said that about 4 cores. Then 8-cores became available and suddenly tons of applications now can use that power. Applications are designed around what's available. However, I would be very pissed if AMD came out with 32-core Ryzen AM5 parts, but didn't adjust...

So please riddle me this: If everything AI and Copilot is all about cloud processing and hoovering up as much data as possible... Why do we need local NPU power? Isn't all of this stuff unavailable offline, and requires a Microsoft Account connected to Miscrosoft's servers?

"We want a safe place for people of all views and backgrounds!" "... sir, the people welcomed by these inclusionary practices don't actually make us money... " "Well Fuck'em then, fire those lefties. Why the hell are we doing this?"

I know you should do work you're proud of... but WTF is up with people thinking their obscure, unknown little game is so important you need a 'Release Date Reveal' trailer. Like, not a "Trailer that will tell you the release date" but a "Trailer for the event that is 'the release date reveal'"...

Hey, you know that game that basically killed Cliff Blizinsky's career. Let's make that again. It'll work... This Time™

I loved Dynasty Warriors back in the PS2 days. This looks to be more of that. Hopefully it's not a live service multiplayer-focused free-to-play cash grab.

TBH it looks a bit soulless, but my Anti-Konami bias is probably playing into that. Remaking Silent Hill 2 is like making the Sistine Chappel Roof: Reloaded edition I wouldn't mind a graphical bump with some new textures, models... but they're completely re-doing the story and I doubt they're...

Wait what? No? Last I checked AMD usually demos chips without SKU names MONTHS before announcing specific SKUs, then when they DO announce SKUs its usually 1-2 months until release. AMD have not even DEMO'd Zen 5 in ES form. No "here's it running cinebench" no "here's it running a game we...

Yeah, but you can also just drag on ANY court case with appeals, did you know the Intel Vs AMD case from 2007 is STILL GOING in some territories? So Microsoft can just drag them on.

But would you REALLY want Half Life 3 being made by the same people who made Redfall, Halo Infinite, Starfield... etc? Microsoft hasn't published a good game in a decade. Even Forza has fallen off the rails, and that one was gold.

Well, Microsoft could spin it as Valve not authoring their storefront securely. "After all, It's not Microsoft's responsibility to make sure some 3rd party application ALWAYS runs even if it's not secure or built well! After all, Microsoft offers a plethora of documentation and developmental...

16 Billion dollars is nowhere NEAR what Valve is worth, if we consider that Activision is worth 35 Billion. That said, Microsoft COULD introduce Windows Updates that make Steam seen as dangerous, limit installations, throw warnings, break functionality. Let that disaster stew for a while, let...

Single Slot is usually disallowed by Intel, AMD or Nvidia. As in, manufacturers AREN'T ALLOWED to make the cards with a single slot design unless they are "PRO" variants with a high price tag. The only reason people want single-slot: Have as many cards as possible. Only people who want as...

EK, Beats, Razer, Corsair.... all of these companies exist as marketing companies who also sell products, if we go by how much they spend on advertising vs. RnD, manufacturing etc. It goes to show that marketing is FAR more paramount to a successful business than making the best product.

I think 1000Hz OLED will be the "endgame" in terms of motion clarity. I don't imagine we'll see anything greater than that for the rest of history. Not because you CAN'T do it, but because it's just not needed or wanted. Like in the hyper-future where people have hovercars, laser clothes and pet...

If that's the case, I've met hundreds of lottery winners, and there are several in this forum. Hell, one of my friends won the lottery twice. Yes, there are probably actual instances of bent pins out of the box, but in the thousands of boards I've opened over the course of over 10 years, I've...

I do, indeed. Right next to the "wireless-good-cheap: chose two" poster.

As someone who works in a PC shop, and has built PCs professionally for over 10 years... I have never seen mainboard pins bent out of the box. Now I'm not saying this is the case for you, but I do have to get things off my chest regarding this topic... I actually insist that I install...

Shhhh! All this automated Asus news is so people FORGET about the warranty controversy!

Not a guarantee. Remember what big-boy money does to companies...

Probably half. That said, we can be 100% sure Comixbooks is a real, genuine human.

Asus is doing SEO to keep people from seeing their RMA buttfuckery on the first page of Google searches....

Entirely speculation. But if it quacks like a duck.... Edit: Just to let you know, some studies have shown significant evidence that as much as 50% of social media traffic is done via non-human interactions, AKA: Bot accounts. Why? What's the point? Half the internet is bots? For what...

Just like Intel 🤣🤣
