I work in a locally owned Verizon store, this may explain why we won't be receiving any more Iphone 5 shipments for 2-6 weeks.

Clock speed comparisons only work within the same CPU architecture. Every generation of processors from Intel is a new and improved architecture, capable of processing more instructions per cycle meaning they do more at the same clock speed. Intel learned with the Pentium 4 there are...

meat81Where does it say that? besides micro USB does not carry audio/video like described in the article above... if so then it sounds more like USB3 for TV's... If you have more on this i would like to see as this sounds like a whole new port/plug/input. Micro USB can carry audio/video, at...

lradunovic77JAVA is dead, just waiting for a day when they officially say it is dead for good. To say Java is dead is to say Android is dead, most apps require Java code to function and the core operating system probably does too. Java is a widely used programming language, it's not going away...

adgjlsfhkThis seems less useful because even if the screen is bendable, can you make a bendable phone? I doubt the goal is to make a flexible screen, the advantage to this screen is it would never break from dropping the phone.

First thing I'm gonna mention is the FX 8120 is an AM3+ processor, and it won't fit in the ASRock FM2A75M because it doesn't have the right socket type. A10-5800K is socket FM2 like the motherboard you chose, while the FX 8120 is socket AM3+ and requires a socket AM3+ motherboard. As to...

Each module has it's own L2 cache that is shared between the cores within the module.

You should read one of the review articles on Piledriver, they explain what your asking for well. Basically Piledriver is based up of modules, the 6300 has 3 modules each containing 2 integer cores that share a variety of resources. It has 6 physical cores but they take a performance hit...

Yes each core is running at 2.66Ghz.

I'm not sure where you did your research, but the product page on the manufacturers website lists FX cpu support. http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3908#

Do you have 8 threads in your task manager? If so than it's working fine. As other have mentioned since the release of FX a number of programs that use to detect it as an 8 core processor now refer to it as a 4 core 8 thread because that is technically what it is despite how AMD chooses to...

Athlon II X4 uses the Propus die, and Phenom II used Deneb. Towards the end of K10 AMD was clocking the Athlon II(propus die) high enough that despite having no L3 cache, it was faster than the lower clocked Phenom II parts with L3, and thus marketing decided it should be called Phenom II...
