Another option that is close to this model is the new Thinkpad T14, which you can get with a Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U. Its very close to the normal 4800U and the Thinkpad T14 is a great laptop. I have this laptop as my new work laptop for about one month now and so far its great. I have not tried the...

@TJ Hooker Good one, I never thought about voltage though I wouldn't know another English term, maybe potential or something like that. In my native language (Dutch) we do have a proper word for that, and in Dutch people also use the voltage, amperage and wattage (written the same though...

As an electrical engineer this article really makes me cringe. Not because there is a lot wrong with the tests done, and also not the low technical depth. No, the contents are fine but the constant use of the horrible words wattage and amperage are offending and make my brain hurt. Now...

Chris, thanks for the great review. The amount of information packed in the review is amazing. I really like the inclusion of the Frames per Second by Percentile graphs. Unfortunately the graphs are a little small and the colors are sometimes so close its very hard to see what is what. Also I...

Wow, the moderators are just as bad as the article writers. If you don't have anything true and useful to say its better to not say anything. In fact your comment is in conflict with the article, but just as bad. The article says that PCIe 4.0 has no merit yet as even a GTX2080 Ti is not...

Wow Joe, you really need to fix this article. A tie on I/O, really? I guess you were so baffled by the question whether PCIe 4.0 is an advantage or not you were missing the other important differences. So forget about PCIe 4.0 for now and lets have another look at those diagrams, I will lead...

It's sad that this article is using so little game benchmarks and then one of them is probably the most favorable game for Intel CPU's, GTA V should be disqualified for such an article as it does not show a good real life comaprison for games in general. Look at it, the fastest stock Ryzen is...

This is whole CTS labs and AMD vulnerability thing has left me with a very sour taste in my mouth. That is not because of the flaws but because of how many big tech report sites, including Toms, put this information in their articles. The whole way in how CTS labs presented this and the limited...

Intel has been really busy finding benchmarks that show the weaknesses of AMD's EPYC product compared to their own. Intel is just trying to hide the fact that with the launch of their new Xeon Scalable Processor there is (almost) no improvement in performance per dollar compared to their...

Wow photonboy, why I do agree with you that gameworks is not only bad and discussing it's use is more complicated, but it does look like you are blinded by your green love. The fact is that NVIDIA has more marketshare and more money that AMD and they are clearly using that advantage to push...

It's very understandable that people, including me, are not so happy about many of Nvidia's decisions. I'd like to buy a new videocard based on price/performance and not on brand. If you invest in G-Sync, PhysX, Gameworks etc etc You are bound to buy only Nvidia videocards even if the provide...

I would definitely look at Asus for a Z97 Mainboard, as far as I know they are the only ones that are able to drive all 4 pin fan headers with PWM or voltage (for 3 pin fans). My current favorite pick is the Z97-E as it has much less crap (ASMedia chips) on it then the Pro which is mentioned...

This UL method has some limitations, if we look at for example Antec we see this E176105 number listed with multiple manufacturers, they only thing it therefore says is that its Antec, which is evident from the label. Now Antec is a good brand, but at my company we sold lots of Antec Sonata...

One model to add: Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold -> E320127 And I think "chaz_music" makes an excellent remark regarding efficiency and power rating. A lot of people buy to heavy power supplies which decreases efficiency. As the 80+ standard defines minimum efficiencies at 20%, 50% and 100% load...

The software lineup is looking great, the only thing I can think of is to include a very CPU limited game in test, the one that comes to mind is Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. This is a somewhat older game unfortunately, so maybe you know some other game to use instead. With CPU tests the...
