    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread News Intel CPU-dispensing vending machine game spotted in Japan — one user got a Core i7-8700 for $3.

    As noted elsewhere, the going rate for an i7-8700 is around $90. So, you could sell this partially defective CPU for at least $50~$60 I...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread News Buyer beware: Fake Samsung 1080 Pro 4TB SSD promising unbelievable 15.8 GB/s speeds for $43 is too good to be true.

    Testing 4TB of data when the read/write speeds will drop far below 100 MB/s is going to take a while. If it can maintain 100 MB/s I...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread News Intel CPU-dispensing vending machine game spotted in Japan — one user got a Core i7-8700 for $3.

    The curious bit to me is that normally you'd have to test disabling each core individually. It's not clear whether the person actually...

    JarredWaltonGPU reacted to USAFRet's post in the thread News Buyer beware: Fake Samsung 1080 Pro 4TB SSD promising unbelievable 15.8 GB/s speeds for $43 is too good to be true with Like.

    Samsung is referenced, because the labeling on that looks exactly like the next level Samsung NVMe drive might look like...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread News Buyer beware: Fake Samsung 1080 Pro 4TB SSD promising unbelievable 15.8 GB/s speeds for $43 is too good to be true.

    As noted in the text, there's a 96-layer Intel TLC NAND chip on these, with a Realtek controller. So it's not using microSD, but...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread News Buyer beware: Fake Samsung 1080 Pro 4TB SSD promising unbelievable 15.8 GB/s speeds for $43 is too good to be true.

    My guess is that the drive only has 128GB or 256GB of actual capacity — maybe 512GB (because there's only a single NAND chip) —...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread Nvidia Blackwell and GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs: Rumors, specifications, release dates, pricing, and everything we know.

    4060 almost never loses to 3060… a few edge cases like 4K in demanding games where neither card is actually playable. It’s relatively...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread Nvidia Blackwell and GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs: Rumors, specifications, release dates, pricing, and everything we know.

    As noted in various articles on the subject, the narrower bus is less a problem as far as bandwidth, and more of a problem with VRAM...

    JarredWaltonGPU reacted to gg83's post in the thread News Alleged Zen 5 'Strix Halo' Mobile APU has more GPU cores than RX 7600 XT or PS5 — features monster RDNA 3.5 GPU with 40 compute units with Like.

    Exactly my first thought. When I first got into PC's AMD was promising premium gaming performance, way before they bought ATI. Every...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread News Alleged Zen 5 'Strix Halo' Mobile APU has more GPU cores than RX 7600 XT or PS5 — features monster RDNA 3.5 GPU with 40 compute units.

    Technically a 256-bit interface would represent quad-channel memory and thus double the bandwidth of the current dual-channel solutions...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread Nvidia Blackwell and GeForce RTX 50-Series GPUs: Rumors, specifications, release dates, pricing, and everything we know.

    Note that based on that image, "Ada Lovelace-Next" lands right near the 2024/2025 transition. Like, if you draw a vertical line upward...

    I've edited the text to correct this. Clearly, the "leaker" ("faker") who provided this information didn't do the math homework...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread RTX 4070 vs RX 7900 GRE faceoff: Which mainstream graphics card is better?.

    For those saying the 4070 Super is massively better than the 4070... in terms of bang for the buck and features, it's nowhere near a...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread News Determined enthusiasts are building a custom 3dfx graphics card — VoodooX has 32MB RAM and DVI output.

    Technically these are just existing parts, being repurposed. It's not illegal to own and use a 3dfx card, nor is it illegal to modify...

    JarredWaltonGPU replied to the thread RTX 4070 vs RX 7900 GRE faceoff: Which mainstream graphics card is better?.

    Actually, you're incorrectly stating things. I said the 4070 is the clear winner overall (IMO) and wins on performance if you enable...
