    News US sanctions transform China into legacy chip production juggernaut — production jumped 40% in Q1 2024

    Can you and @NinoPino tell me what does "not the best" and "worst" example mean? "Not the best example" means I had exaggerated my statement by supporting it with an unrepresentative comparison. "The worst example" means that me bringing that very comparison was the most wrong thing out of the...

    News US sanctions transform China into legacy chip production juggernaut — production jumped 40% in Q1 2024

    I don't know if you agree with me or not, but I feel like you and your good friend are pushing an agenda. I am not interested in any of yours - I am only pointing out the mere facts that some here are oblivious. It's not a question of how successful will China be, because none of your mentions...

    News US sanctions transform China into legacy chip production juggernaut — production jumped 40% in Q1 2024

    People always underestimate the market scale of "legacy chips". TSMC has 32% of its money coming from the planar transistor business (28 nm or older) and considering the skyrocketing demands they had as the market leader on cutting edge nodes, that number is absolutely massive. However, as time...

    GPU Performance Hierarchy 2024: Video Cards Ranked

    A "general guidance" like: "Always consider the cooling performance of the exact GPU you are buying, as it is often overlooked" is good, while "Always get Sapphire for AMD and ASUS for Nvidia" is not.

    GPU Performance Hierarchy 2024: Video Cards Ranked

    Thank you for the hard work updating the list. This is one of the most comprehensive list on the internet. It can even be considered THE list. I have several suggestions though. For readers, it might be easier to visualize value (the most important parameter in a buying decision) in terms of...

    News Intel foundry unit loses $7 billion in 2023, company outsources 30% of its production to TSMC, others

    My diction choice might not be completely correct, English isn't my native language. But I think we have no differences here. TGL was the first 10 nm that can be "considered". ADL (Intel 7/10 ESF) was designated as the first "proper 10 nm" as that had the ability to be binned reliably for...

    News Intel foundry unit loses $7 billion in 2023, company outsources 30% of its production to TSMC, others

    I think this is the gist of the topic. I'm not sure where this discussion will lead to, but let me first say that investors need assurance and must be able to gauge the risks. This is the basis of my argument. I don't really want to debate whether the loss was really "a literal loss", but rather...

    News Intel foundry unit loses $7 billion in 2023, company outsources 30% of its production to TSMC, others

    The 10nm node has been a disaster from Intel. The reason why, will never revealed, but it's interesting to ponder. In my perspective, the foundry business has been an extremely risky cut-throat industry since entering the sub-100 nm era. At this stage, the size of investments no longer...

    Review Corsair TX650M Power Supply Review: Quietly Good

    Seems that they did a good job at keeping things in check. Everything is better than its predecessor, though, I was expecting that It'd be a good lot quieter. What I'm hoping is that they will be able to sell this for cheap in my country. The Enermax Revolution DF sells for cheaper than the old...

    DQ-M (V1) is CWT GPU, it's better (or at least similar) to the TX-M

    Discussion PSU tier list discussion thread

    It does change. Even in some occasion Aris points out that the inrush current is too big while actually not as bad as PSUs that doesn't get pointed out for having too big of inrush current. Wentai Aidan is a meh because of it's positioning and price, if it is sold for $100 people we will give a...

    Discussion PSU tier list discussion thread

    Aris was writing those cons because he compared it to the AX1600i, which is the direct competitior of the Aidan 1616. Otherwise most of those cons wouldn't be written, like the Vreg was specifically written "not that tight" because it was compared to the AXi, not because it was loose in the...

    Discussion PSU tier list discussion thread

    Well TBH it's hard to say what your suggestions actually are. We have split M12II (EVO) x50 and x20, so I think there's no issue with that. Yes, there are many others that are like this, and we have done the same too, such as the CV series (650 is different than 550 & 450), also XFX core and TS...

    Need help with my custom build

    Hello there, Thank you for answering my questions. I heard about the RX 480 so I think it is good to wait a little bit. I want to hear other opinions about this build. Please give me other suggestions... For now I keep this topic open.
