    News Overclocker Pushes AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D Beyond 5 GHz

    Yep. When I say locked I mean locked. Shouldn't be overclocked via bus or multi. I'm referring specific. to bclk; ocing the chipset bus.. If you ask me.. just another PR gimmick. Contradictory statements but I get what you're saying. Intel didn't seem too keen with it to the point of...

    News Overclocker Pushes AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D Beyond 5 GHz

    Slightly confused about the state of board partners and manufacturers. AMD and Intel build the chipsets. The board partners buy the chipsets direct, build a board and, lately, are releasing BIOS updates supporting BCLK ocing for cpus designated as "locked". Understanding we see custom BIOS...

    News Elon Musk: Tesla Aims to Get All Steam Games Working in Its Vehicles

    Things seem to be getting a little schizophrenic at Tesla.. If you've ever spent any time using a dc-to-ac inverters and 12v batteries.. This probably isn't going to help any case with current battery technology. Sure, it'll work great but it will absolutely kill range when not plugged in...

    News TSMC 3nm Yield Problems May Derail AMD's CPU Plans

    Slow news day? Not loving the boy who cried wolf aspect of this story but it seems to be the norm lately. The OP is super vague with no clarifying details on shipped units, process types, etc. The newest TSMC N3 node advancement is EUV (ultraviolet). Announced end of Q3/21. Growing pains w...

    News AMD Engineer Confirms Work on RDNA 3 Navi 3X GPUs at 5 and 6nm

    Having a hard time getting on board with this. One product line on two different nodes? The cost and risk factors alone.. Perhaps the dude was involved in tape-out projects for the same design on both nodes.

    News Intel Warns Of "Damage" From Non-K Alder Lake CPU Overclocking

    Meh.. If it's Asus and I read it on the internet or saw it on YouTube it must be true.. Examples: No one has been able to purchase an Asus 3070 Noctua edition because they don't exist. Stackable micro atx mobo..doesn't exist. An Asus mobo that magically unlocks non-K Intel CPUs. No...

    News AMD Preps for Zen 4: Different Types of Cores Now Supported in Linux

    I respectfully disagree.. 4c is "cloud enhanced". Of course they haven't yet provided the deets but I read that to be designed for specific, repetitive tasks requiring less clock and power per thread. "Density optimized cache" ie..stacked and power enhancements are stated as 4c features but...

    News AMD Preps for Zen 4: Different Types of Cores Now Supported in Linux

    Pretty sure this confirms what we already know. 2 types of Zen4 core ccd parts. Those with 3D cache and those without. Changes to error correction to address the higher cache parts makes sense. Changes to drivers and/or updated die temp sensor location makes sense with 3DV parts. Nothing I...

    News TSMC Founder: Pat Gelsinger Too Old to Make Intel Great Again

    When did Tom's, TPU, Anand, etc. become "The Onion" of tech news? Hilarious. Lisa: Please get back to working on something other than tabloid-caliber mudslinging. Mike: Goodbye.

    Ugh..no specs. ARM chiplet maybe? https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-we-stand-ready-to-make-arm-chips Certainly isn't standard x86 parts.

    News Intel Arc Giveaway Reveals ‘Approximate’ Graphics Card Pricing

    Completely agree but the competition has to be present, with volume in the market for that to happen. There is palpable concern about ARC. If Intel floods the market with available hardware.. Old enough to know the chip shortage is complete BS. It's a manufactured price fixing scheme...

    News Intel Arc Giveaway Reveals ‘Approximate’ Graphics Card Pricing

    Am I the only one seeing all the bait posts here and at TPU? Everyone's up in arms about pricing. A third player is about to enter the market which should be good for flattening out the pricing spike but the posts don't seem to reflect the trend were all looking for? What am I missing? Can I...

    News Overclocked Core i9-12900K Hits 5.2 GHz At 330W, Challenges Ryzen 9 5950X

    Public relations gone wild! Does anyone else see an odd placement of power consumption commentary shortly before the release of Zen w/ 3d cache? I've had fun with products from both vendors for many years now. Reading between the lines I'm interested to see if 3d cache + a layer of fill...
