This review is terrible. You used DDR5 6800 for Intel. Seriously. Who is going to spend that kind of money $500+ for DDR5 for a $350 CPU. You didn't get valid results at all. You're gonna make buyers think they are getting more speed than they actually are, especially all the gaming results are...

There's nothing wrong with ARM and it is easy to port to. Apple does it in real time on bootup with Rosetta 2 and Microsoft could do the same. Same performance. Gaming is not good on Apple machines because of lack of expandability (cannot add a GPU), high prices, and the GPU side issues (like no...

It does happen in easy places to catch, just didn't happen last year. In the same way, they can store the water near Hsinchu. Taiwan has tons of water, but it also has tons of people, like the population of Canada all moved to just Vancouver Island. So they have to be careful with planning. It's...

That's why I actually showed the rainfall in Taipei in my photo, which is the same as Hsinchu (they are right next to each other). The rainfall on the east coast is much higher than that. Trust me, I live in Taiwan. Drought can happen, but desalination doesn't make sense for a country with very...

Why would you make a desalination plant in a country with heavy rainfall? Of course you wouldn't. They just need to improve infrastructure and store more rain for later. Source: Lived in Taiwan for years. No lack of rain.

I'm not sure if any of this review is current anymore. Perhaps there have been updates. The microphone works great, and Hardware Canucks reports the same, I have no low volume hiss, and the software works perfectly using Downloads | Cooler Master.

Yeah they are the exact same CPU. This article is a bit confused. You can change the power limit in a 10900, the writer is not using 65W results, of course there is no way the 10900 would score higher than the 109100. Set your 10900 to 200W? There you go.

the problem was the fix required disabling a graphical feature though, it didn't look like did on intel did it with the fix? the new fix is perfect

Are you sure? You can already set PL2 to be whatever you want regardless of the CPU. Could do it before, can do it now. And there is no difference with the Strix B460-F or the H470 Pro, you can set it yourself under CPU power management to whatever you want.

Sandy Bridge didn't run at 5ghz, and wasn't 6 cores. IPC is much higher with modern Comet Lake. I obviously meant any of the current gen running at 5ghz is great.

This website has been going downhill for a long time, what with the politics, and just buy it, and attacking hardware unboxed etc... now removing my posts for no reason, because I said I'd prefer an apolitical website then commenting about the 10600k. I'm gone. Cya around the internet.

Also the stock Intel cooler is not handling 6 or more cores well. I was really sad to see the i5's not get the newer cooler. Actually the i5-10400 can hit 90 degrees on the stock cooler... I wanted the black cooler for the i5's.

Exactly. It is a terrible price for the overall performance, especially at launch. But if your goal is maximum fps, it is the best chip for the money there, with an OC. 8 and 10 cores doesn't improve that fps meaningfully, it is about the clock speed. Any chip at 5.1ghz is a thing to behold. I'd...

Who is seriously going to buy any Macbook Pro if Apple doesn't get with the program and put a Ryzen 4000 CPU in it? AMD is offering 8 cores for the same price as last year's 4 core models. As the other guy said, you get 144hz screens with 1660 ti's, 8 core Ryzen CPUs and even a 90WH battery...

There are several games that don't work with 8GB memory properly. First time I ran into it was Gears of War Remastered actually. Also the 2500k has very bad performance in a few games also, such as Borderlands 3. But yeah, any 6 core (Ryzen 3600) will do just as well as any other CPU for the...
