12 chips that do exactly the same within a 20% envelope which, in real world applications, just about levels them. Perceived segmentation. Panic on the titanic?

Leftover-most-defective-chip-of-all-time-award? A LMDCOATA.

Love to have a Threadripper. But right now life is good. 8 Ryzen cores already make this the best computing platform ever. Everything zips. No delays, stoppages, no weird bugs. Just happy. Those chips show whats ahead once they solve the bottlenecks, integrate ram and better graphics near the...

MS is absolutely correct. And there is no problem to develop and build in a sandbox. After all simulation is the developers game. But we need to rebuild and advance civilisation first and remove all the social constructivists that created the 9bn people boondoggle. AI is not for the masses, its...

Nvidia is a marketing driven corp. The rift between the talky beancounters and their engineers is clearly visible. A 1080 is just fine. It does my 3d cad, 4k and 8k video acceleration and I play games at 4k in high to ultra settings. RT to me is an immersive, real and sharp thing. Thats what...

@DX You are right with that. Its bait and switch. Most build shops do that. The louder the screaming the less value you get. In my eyes, and I had great experience with them, ecollegepc is not doing that. Budget builds are clearly marked - upgrades are transparent and a good custom...

Coldstarts are worse than hotstarts. Wear is tear. My experience. I had servers run 24/7 for 7 years straight. No prob. I had workstations getting shut of twice a day. Bang, dang, 2-3 years. My laptop literally shut never off and still running after 12 years. It is what it is.

@rantoc: You are definitely on to what constitutes a consumer grade Intel chip. Its most likley a yield problem of epic proportions. 3 out of 4 dies are defective...This is my conservative estimate.

Paste is expensive. Its 1/3 the price of a watercooler for your chip. Cheap paste and watercooler keeps your chip running at 40-45 Celsius. My R1800x does. Hot running Intel chips developing cracks is a no go. Having to overamp your chips right out of the factory to compete is an engineering...

Thing is for the OCD crowd and comes with charging anxiety. No thx.

@Krazie_Ivan: BMP Cine. Superb cine cam. Rivaling Arri and Red. Its that good. Arri and Red lowered their prices to half because of BMP. They gouged long enough with insane prices. 4k and 5/6k are very similar. 8k will be a gamechanger again. 4k is midterm futureproof...

Build 2 Threadripper workstations/servers or 4 Ryzen workstations/servers with double the capacity and up to 4x the failsafe for the price of one xeon. Not sure that Intels fantasy pricing is justified. mm2 die price has fallen. This is way beyond good taste.
