    AMD Ryzen 5 1600 vs 2600

    I would say get the 2600 as 3rd gen are about to be released... can't see why you'd get a 1st gen now. I doubt your GTX 1060 is somehow going to be significantly bottlenecked... the CPU supports PCIe 3.0 x16

    [SOLVED] New CPU, 50% The Performance??

    Have you tested without overclocking? Have you turned off X.M.P.? Have you updated and properly configured the BIOS? Did you install the intel chipset drivers?

    running ram sticks with same make and model but different versions in dual channel?

    I think version numbers are done because they'll use different memory chips depending on supply availability for the same model. It *should* be all fine but you won't know until you use it.

    Upgrade AMD A6 5400 to an A10 5800

    It's an upgrade no matter what. Quad core instead of dual core, higher top frequency and better graphics, Radeon HD 7660D instead of Radeon HD 7540D

    How to Build a Cheap 128 Core Server for a Chess Super Computer.

    Either find cloud services, or if you have the budget build your own.. Ryzen Threadripper is likely less cost per core.. You'll need to likely have a host + compute nodes if you want 128 cores (could it be 64 cores with hyper-threading?) What's your budget is really what it comes down to.

    $100 Million Fund Aims to Spearhead Quantum Computing

    ronch79Just $100M? Isn't that a little bit on the cheap side considering this is one major, major project? I also read somewhere that the Obama administration and the DOE is putting out $120 for universities to come up with next-generation batteries with 5x the capacity within a 5 year period...
