No offense mate, but this was teased as a LAN gaming machine. Seems totally reasonable to me to test what it was designed for - an APU with iGPU strong enough to not need a dGPU.

Sell the motherboard. EVGA is crypt

They should've done this a long time ago. Hard to put the cat back in the bag after the milk's been spilt all over everyone's shoes and the balloon popped upsetting Mary at the birthday party. The current EDA that they've already accessed will still be good for a long time, plus they just clone...

Lol, this is not some super deal. I paid $10/TB or less last summer on Ironwolf drives. Yes refurb. They just want affiliate revenue.

so these companies spend extra money to put these heatspreaders on all their die packages, but it actually decreases thermal performance, even when no one runs this without some sort of fan/heatsink solution. Genius.

This isn't just blu-ray movies but your video games in case you've been asleep for past 15 years will only be digital in the future.

Oh really, the day after the 'Willow' chip announcement. How convenient. You'd have to be pretty naive to believe this.

I could probably attach this to the bottom of my monitor, but that's not ergonomic. on the desk it just seems awkward, like too narrow to be useful. I'd prefer a Stream Deck with better buttons. It's a good idea but not the greatest implementation. Wish them best of luck though.

I am saddened to hear his departure likely due to what we're seeing is Intel's too big to rapidly pivot. It's not even super clear what they are pivoting to: is it foundry, is it AI, which of these will save them and regain their former glory. It's a passing of the torch. They have more in...

From the time Gelsinger said he was going to double down on fabs, I knew Intel's fate was sealed. Fabs are extremely difficult and expensive undertakings. I'd say give him the money but don't be surprised when it doesn't work out and he comes back for more. Then say no and let the markets decide.

re-spins are basically just revisions to the silicon. In this case they mean the photo masks, which is to say the circuit layout. Since these haven't been manufactured yet (to our knowledge), re-spinning is unusual. Also, it means architecturally speaking, the devices would be similar to the...

That is not a GOOD DEAL. 4060 Ti should've been equipped with 12GB+ VRAM for $299 and called the 4060. The 4060 we got is a 4050 Ti. So the 4060 Ti is 50% overpriced and the $30 of 8GB VRAM they are asking $100. Despite even all that it's a $499 GPU pushing memory through a 128-bit bus like...

Couldn't agree more. It's always going to be about Performance per Watt.

Isn't it obvious? "i" in "i7" etc is out of fashion. It's not really a bad name just out of vogue. Next, Core is to emphasize that part of the brand to compete with Ryzen. Ultra is not targetted at AMD, AMD uses X suffix and Intel used to use K suffix. Ultra is aimed at Apple again using M1, M1...

Let me get this straight. Gaming... Prebuilt... Desktop... GeForce GTX... Razer... 2017: spinning hard drives. optical disk drives. Do we get why this is a mega fail??
