A word of caution. Semantics can matter especially in technology and patent issues. "Copies" used in the headline has an entirely different connotation and meaning than adopts or adapts or "using a similar concept" present in the body of the article.

Actually a large fab will have multiples ( 5-7 or more) of the same piece/model of equipment so when you move to a smaller shrink you will sequentially replace all that shrink series/size. The new equipment will be used to make the existing shrink size until all the necessary new equipment is...

Quite an improvement from the telegraph attached to a window shade in the 1959 On the Beach movie about the end of the world. Needs electricity to run however and attachment to a solar or wind power generator.

It used to be when US semiconductor mfg. technologically obsoleted equipment it was resold used to the Taiwanese. Things have now changed and the Taiwanese are buying and developing leading edge semiconductors. ChiComs are now following the same track of buying used to develop their own...

I bought a 50" 4k TV and 32" 4k monitor from Best Buy in the last four months. Both times I purchased online for same day curbside no contact pick up. Great having a local store, with curbside pickup especially for larger heavier items. Neither of these items were on display in the store to...

About 10 years ago I did the "Mod" on my GPUs taking off the fans and cooler and replacing them with a zip tied small Corsair AIO on the main GPU and heatsinks on the memory and every thing else. Then OC'd the GPU to the max. Influenced by reviews for the AMD R9 290x in 2014 I bought one and...

On a more cheerful note: AMD may actually sell some 5800x and 5600x CPUs at the Columbus MC tomorrow as they are showing 25+ of each in inventory, but can not sell any individual 5900x CPUs. If you have your heart set on a 5900x and don't want to compete for the one Nvidia 1660 GPU available...

Curious at what distance from the 50-55" 4k TV screen your eyes are? I have a 32" Samsung 4K monitor on my desk corner which for gaming and casual use my eyes are 24-28" away from screen. I also have a 50" Samsung 4K TV but on a stand roughly 5' from my head. Both screens appear side by side...

I'll flush the radiator on my AIO CPU cooler in the sink when compressed air and vacuum can't get all the dust out.

I'm not "trying to have it" anyway. I'm just restating what has been said in the TH reviews. Question: If bundling a lower performance cooler with a CPU is a Pro and a Con if not in TH Best rankings; then why isn't an iGPU a Pro in all cases and a Con if not? "well, it's not available so...

LOL! OK so you want to play the absurdity game? Intel K CPUs with integrated graphics can at least operate a PC without a cooler attached at low intensity usage (although not recommended), while AMD's top CPUs which don't have integrated graphics and don't include an "excellent wraith cooler"...

For years TH has been lauding the "excellent wraith coolers" and how valuable they are in reviews although being careful to actually use Corsair H115 AIO in reviews against Intel CPUs so as not to hamper AMD performance comparisons. Now that AMD is no longer including those "excellent Wraith...

At 12.5% higher price than 10 core 10900kf although you may be better off with a 10900k for the same price to get a CPU with included GPU capacity. Similarly an eight core 10700k is 50% lower price that a 5800x and it includes graphics capability. Sadly none of these include that "excellent...

If Nvidia can make a product for miners out of silicon they don't need or can't' use then more power and profit to them. If they keep higher binned chips for consumer gamers at a higher price and sell lower binned chips to miners at a lower price making them more attractive with faster payback...

What is the big deal? Hasn't Nvidia been producing the Quadro RTX GPU line with generally higher memory than consumer cards targeted at professional usage?
