I am seriously looking at upgrading my PC and have had my eye on waiting for the Intel 10nm chips to drop each year, for years now. I’m strongly in need of an upgrade and have been waiting for 10nm because of the proposed energy efficiency compared to the same workload as well as better...

anyone?

Looking for the longest range USB WiFi adapter for my laptop that is of reasonable size (no outdoor antenna sizes please). Ive narrowed down my choices to 4 options: 1. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I7QFR10/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 2...

Ive been getting alerts more frequently now this past week so NVidia must be shipping more. Problem is, as soon as I get the alert I head to the site and literally 30 - 60 seconds later, the cards are sold.

Crypto currency and GPU insanity: http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/videocards/nvidia/gtx1080/ At least I can get them on the open market at "the steal" price of $500 to $1,500 OVER regular MSRP/Retail price. :pfff:

Yes, I dont think there is too good of a way to differentiate the two types of buyers.

Cryptocurrency mining has completely destroyed the GPU industry for the average Joe like me just trying to upgrade from old hardware (GTX 560). Every high end card on every major retailer is out of stock and has been out of stock. Price scalpers/gougers are charging well over $1,000 for cards...

Intel saying they began shipping the 10nm chip could mean very little. If Intel made and shipped one single chip (say to a reviewer like Toms), then technically, Intel is not lying and technically, they "began shipping in 2017". I like many of you are in the market for a new chip and have been...

So, I checked the price of the Asus Geforce 1080 card today and very little places have them in stock even though this card has been out for a while: The original asking price for the 1080 was around $560. For the little places that do have them in stock here are the prices: 1. Amazon: out of...

Could the security vulnerabilities be the reason for the 10nm delay?

I am in the market for new PC hardware as I desire a refresh for my PC. I have been waiting for a long time for Intel to come out with a 10nm chip. Unfortunately for many of us, a release date keeps getting pushed back. I want to wait till the 10nm chip comes out because the time of Moore's...

I have been in the market to get a GPU for over a year now. I am in no hurry to buy so I have been waiting for a year for a price drop. I have my eye on and want to get the Geforce 1080. I have been monitoring the price via the website Camel Camel Camel. Unfortunately, the price of the 1080 has...

Why have SSD prices on name brand SATA SSDs not really dropped in 2017? I have been watching the price of the "Samsung 850 PRO - 512GB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD" for about a year now on Camel Camel Camel and the price remains relatively steady. There has been a $20 increase from last...
