So is benchmarking $200 CPUs with a $1000 GPU.

We ordered over 50,000 Dell laptops last year, though on our site of around 1000 people, a Dell tech visits about once every two weeks. These outages are insignificant compared to our own internal management of systems and solutions. Sadly, those on the hardware selection committee know very...

I'm assuming from the review and the pricing that the $30 cooler is capable of of getting the 9700K to 5.1Ghz and keeping it there in the gaming and office benchmarks?

I suffered from the black screen across both monitors about 2 times per day, never a hard reset or crash, just like a black out. I originally thought it was my old CPU+mobo combination but after upgrading, it was still happening. Since I updated my drivers 3 days ago, it's not happened. Touch...

I never drew any conclusions, I merely provided a single data point and expressed that NVidia's attitude to markets in the semiconductor space wouldn't cause me any shock.

The stability of the company is gradually improving. No high risk strategies, wise use of resources and some excellent products in their stack.

Also, RISC V would allow NVidia to enter the CPU market. Wouldn't surprise me if they already had working silicon. After a quick google: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/senior-risc-v-cpu-architecture-engineer-at-nvidia-1411541499/?trk=jobs_job_title

Is this the strategy for Infinity on GPUs starting to play out?

If counter strike wall hacks were bad enough, it's not going to stop people running through them with a VR headset on!

To all those who who site ASIC as the natural progression need to understand the sales aspect. As soon as an ASIC solution is released, the miners will jump ship, choose a different currency and Eth will crash. The ASIC will then be unable to fulfill the orders to cover the expense of creating...

You can't really recommend something that is completely unavailable.

Return of the external PSU brick! Noooo!

I echo the sentiments of the other commentators but what pleases me more is how a few sites no longer holds the complete voice of the consumers. It is quite clear form the comment section that individuals are more than capable of comparing and contrasting data to come up with their own...

I think everyone is getting their knickers in a twist over the CCX config. Everyone knows that multicore is the future and scalability is a fundamental design consideration. With AMD locking the requirement to use the infinity fabric, code will evolve to overcome their limitations which makes...
