The best part of the GRE was efficiency. It had the highest frames per Watt of the Radeon bunch, and only had the 4090 to beat.

I see office employees casually opening Taskmanager to restart explorer. That's a sign of buggy software.

That would make sense. But after working with Chinese companies, I am not sure anymore. It could as well be that they bought the parts cheap. And just went with it. Pay a western tech website to post a news article about it and see what happens. Who would want 8 2,5Gbit networkports with not...

Chinese companies can be wild. Making things with minimal R&D and/or no market research. It seems so wasteful. I would love such a board for some general purpose linux gateway. But why the extra GPU. I have Epyc motherboards that probably won't even run the windows 98 mediaplayer hypnotic...

Funny detail, ASML started as part of Phillips. Phillips saw it as a distraction and cut it of. With hindsight it was probably Phillips move out of Eindhoven to Amsterdam that led to their downfall. They completely underestimated the supporting structures that grew around them. It would be very...

They don't need cheap labor. They need the very best. And many of them. Non of them earn less then 6 digits. Just like many other western countries the Dutch have way to many elderly. We need immigants to keep our way of living.

What would be the reasoning behind 48Gb dimms instead of 64Gb?

Find out now how the i3 beats the Ryzen 9!!! Click here to learn more (spoiler the i3 beats it on Price).

Now compare it with the real Germans at Alphacool. Cougar is more of a sticker company.

I'm not underestimating the effect of supply shortages. You call them scalpers, I call them crooks. Tomatoes Tomatoes. But in this case, there is no shortage. At least not that it's mentioned in the article. I bet most TR pro motherboards will drop in price at the same rate. And it has nothing...

We are grossly overestamating the impact of the BOM on the actual price. Come on guys, We just had a year where I could sell my 7 year old videocard for more than I bought it for. (I actually gave it away to do my tiny part in stopping this nonsense). We are paying double the fuel price but the...

We are all banking on the fact that China needs the US to survive. We are banking on China not asking the trillion they have invested in the US back. We are banking on China not sanctioning the Western world. Just like Europe was banking on Russia never stop pumping Natural gas in our direction...

If you take the performance of the R7950 @65W and multiply that with 4, You'll have some guesstimation on what the performance will be at 275W or so (I/O die takes quite some juice)

Not sure which is more daft. Not adding one in the package, or testing wifi without an antenna.

I think I can answer that. We are system builders. sometimes high-end, sometimes pro-bono best effort on a tight budget. Doing general office and internet tasks there is no noticeable difference between an Sandy bridge i3 and an Threadripper. As long as both systems have a good SSD (no...
