I wish I had seen this earlier yesterday. Last night I purchased an iPhone 15 Max Plus for over $2,000 and ordered an iPad Pro Max with cellular for an additional $2,500. Last night I canceled my iPad order and later this morning I'm returning my iPhone. I deal with seven figure plus financial...

Personally I prefer my cables they provide that "Motorhead" look and add style and flair, and for many that like RGB can certainly add an incredible light show. I've seen the ASUS prototype HERO boards and geez what an incredible rats nest mess on the backside! Still with all the power cables on...

If I were a Taiwanese company I would be diversifying outside of Taiwan. When China finally gets enough gusto to reclaim Taiwan, it's going to bring the chip market to a dangerously low volume like what we saw during COVID-19 or worse where companies literally are stopped in their production...

Everyone from a Elon Musk to the CEOs of Intel, AMD, Cerebras, and every AI system that's a contender .. (CUTTHROAT) .. want the machine of Nvidia+ OpenAI to stop in their tracks .. (SO THEY CAN CATCH UP!) It's like the Gold Rush to California and people are willing to do and say anything to win...

While I'm certain you spent a lot of time testing these M.2s, synthetic tests are pretty meaningless to consumers and real world use. No different than GPU testing and only publishing synthetic results. The following from Tech Power Up is an example of some of the best testing I've seen from...

Nice review but the "Con" of high MSRP retail prices is a little misleading. The Samsung 990 Pro 1TB is listed on Newegg for $69.99, the 2TB is listed for $134.99 and the 4TB isn't in stock yet anywhere. I would imagine the 4TB costing somewhere less than twice the 2TB. The real world difference...

Did anybody bother the check to make certain this is not an ES sample?? More than likely it is an ES sample. Most ES samples are down-clocked, buggy, unoptimized and often 'nerfed' with functions disabled. When you have a retail sample in hand let me know...

I clearly read it which is why I mentioned it. He needs to know he's leaving performance on the table. I can't imagine any place in Africa where you can't get DDR5 especially if you can get all the other stuff and DDR4.

You're leaving a lot of performance on the table with many tasks not using DDR5. Last year when the prices were sky high and availability practically zero AND with slower speeds DDR4 made some sense but not today. DDR4 is EOL (End of Life). As far as a 13th gen CPU on a 12th gen chipset more...

From Windows run CPU-Z, open the Mainboard (tab) and in the middle your BIOS Version is listed. No there's nothing bad or damaging to re-flashing your BIOS to the same version. However, be careful to read the manufacture's prerequisite for upgrading to a newer BIOS. Sometimes there's a sequence...

Sad times. It was a great company. However, if you go to their website, nearly everything's out of stock. New power supplies only have three year warranties and even their peripherals are sold out. After they lost some of their key employees, it's game over.

My initial observation is the Apple Vision isn't an "AR" per se, it's a VR with a simulated AR overlay. The glasses are not see-through with a e.g. translucent OLED. I'll certainly try it but I'm not holding my breath and I have no desire to be a long-term Beta user... '][/URL]

LOL so would properly seating the connector. The 12VHPWR connector can easily carry 3x or more power and still not fail. Again search .. PCIe melting .. look at the images. The excess heat is caused from improper seating and resulting from arcing. The 'RTX 50' series might add a second...

That is not true. I don't know where you got that information from. Instead the reason that these problems still crop up is because people have not magically gotten any smarter in the last few months. Search "PCIe melting" .. there's nothing new about this and it'll never go away because people...

Seriously did you think this through? Basically every effected governmental, corporate or any notebook with critical / private information needs to be replaced and shredded.
