I found the foillowing statement in the article funny - You are still using Micro$oft Windoze? As the last couple pages show there is disagreement about Linux, yet the majority agree Windoze ?? just stinks (even those that say W11 is ok still notes that it is not). To be clear I leaned...

This story also fails to mention that the story they are referring to reports that the 7##0X3D chips use less power while delivering similar results as their non-3D counterparts. Tom's Hardware could of done a better job of sumerizing the article, not just pulling one interesting tibit of...

For me the questions about creating original content comes down to what is copy and pasting and what is actually new? If I am an artist (no mistake here, I am not, just for the sake of argument and to help illustrate) and I draw a picture of a face using pencils and a person sitting for the...

Do not worry, the answer is always do a clear re-install of Windoze. Now, what was the question? I do want to thank a college teacher that taught me to question almost everything, such as who is providing the information, what is their motivation, why are the doing so, what do they get out...

As AMD first showed, and just recently Intel, if you use ReBAR/Smart Memory Access you are able to overcome a lot of - not all of - the performance penalties of a smaller bus width.

I have to agree with two suggestions other people have already made. First would be Windoze - almost any version. Even better, a regular and a ghost script (edited, stripped down version) version of Windoze 10 - lets see the amount of bloat Micro$oft has in their OS. Corel Video Studio...

Saying that product A is 30% slower than product B is not the same as saying product B is 30% faster than product A. If we start with product B at 100 (just to help make things easy when doing math), and make product A 30% slower then product A is only producing 70. Now if we take product A...

An article you, and others, might be interested in: Get ready for AMD and NVIDIA to slash GPU prices even further

Just a couple things to help shed some light on this. Back in the mid 90s, before I went to work retail, I tried my hand (or mouth) at a help desk. I worked for a company that was a professional call center, and had a number of clients. They had won an expansion of their contract for a modem...

Just wondering, now that AMD has given a date of availability (lets hope it is not just a paper launch) for their new chips, is Intel going to change their announcement/introduction date to say something like September 27th?

Yep, I used to work retail a couple lifetimes ago. Those people would forget to look at the fine print as well - can not be used on clearance items (which that 70% off is), nor on Levi jeans or in the cosmetics department, etc. And that is 30% of the remaining price, so $100 - 70% = $30. $30...

I might actually buy a new GPU for myself - give myself the best gift this year, sorry honey, yet that gift you are giving me just is not the same. I was going to wait a couple more generations, yet AMD and nVidia can thank one of my cats for that (forced me to rebuild/upgrade my system...

90% of MSRP means something like 90% of $100 = $90. 90% off MSRP means $100 - 90% = 100 - 90 = $10. Same thing with 90% below MSRP - that suggests 90% less than MSRP. Big difference. Kind of like when they got their decimals and commas wrong in the Intel article about market share and...

I noticed that all of the mentioned displays have a category called Touch: none So, none of these monitors support touch sensors? Are there any that do, that are worth considering?

This might be easier if it was only apples to apples comparison, yet you might be comparing a granny smith apple to a tarty green apple to a honey crisp apple, to a . . . The sockets that the CPU fits in changes every generation or two with Intel, and has the CPU you are interested in been...
