We are reaching out to Microsoft for clarification. However, I don't think Microsoft would issue an update to a system that doesn't support it.

The Windows 11 minimum system requirements page also points to this list of CPUs. Expand the processors section, then follow the "list of approved CPUs" link. This then takes you to the same list of processors as cited in this article. Barring another list of minimum supported processors...

Apples and oranges, in this case.

You might want to go look at TPU's overall results for 1080p again.

Good eye. Typo, fixed!

Check out the page on power and thermals. The third album down has the power trace during different workloads. You can see the idle at the tail end. Sub-25W.

No worries! We value your opinions, even if they're pointed questions — thanks for being such an active member of the forums.

We do have some follow up Q's for Puget. Yes, they are very forthcoming with more information if requested -- even from the public. Their President is taking questions from the public here: View: https://x.com/jonbach/status/1819454249698578707

To my understanding, he was basically removing a double post that was already posted in another thread. The post was already posted in the *relevant* thread, and that post was NOT removed. It's still there. This is like daily mod duty stuff. He discussed it directly with the poster in a public...

Thanks for joining our forums today — welcome. We do have a freelancer who mods at the R/Intel and R/Hardware forums, but that work is not at the behest of, or affiliated with, Tom's Hardware as an organization. And yes, Tom's Hardware is an enthusiast website, so it isn't uncommon for our...

Yes, those aren't the primary pick for those categories, just alternates. In regards to testing, yes, all Intel chips are currently undergoing re-tests (it is killing me, honestly) using Intel's new guidance. This is, of course, going to be reflected in upcoming Zen 5 reviews.

It's a fair point that the issue is not listed in the breakouts for each chip in the list of the Best CPUs for Gaming—I've added that. This has been a long-developing situation, so we are attempting to approach it as well as we can. Chip issues are common—AMD has had chips that don't meet boost...

I've added some updates now with new details I dug up. Worth a read.

This is a very common misconception. However, Mike Clark was the lead architect from day one. I was in the audience when he introduced Zen 1 at Hot Chips in 2016 as the lead architect. I even interviewed him backstage after the presentation. (Fun fact: I interviewed him in the same green room...

Oops, fixed!
