Is this Toms Hardware or Fox News? Mentioning the CHIPS Act is relevant all those mentions about swing state, election, Biden, etc is just beyond the scope of this website. Also no mention about anything about which machines they will use, which companies will produce there, which chips... piss...

Wasnt Valve business model to have SteamOS run on these handheld devices seamlessly? Like the Steam Deck is a proof of concept to showcase handheld PC viability and then all other major OEMs should run the thing too? Or maybe this was Asus trying to, for some reason, make the Ally not Steam...

Looks good but, as consumers should always do, must wait until release to know price-performance-ratio vs the Steam Deck and if these new features like the new screen and what not end up eating battery and of course the software because Armory Crate isnt that great. If at least the hardware is...

Best computer store bar none. Got a great "in-person-only" 12700k + z690 mobo for $350 a few months ago. While I was there also got 32gb of ram for $88. Crucial NVME 2tb for $120 and a 6650XT for $250. New case $88 and the old PSU and drives were reused. Basically my new computer was less than $1k.

Just got forced out of that boat. Got a new PC 12700k and aiming to just use my 6gb 1060gtx until the new cards dropped next year. But unfortunately It was too much for the 2016 bought card and it died today. Have used just EVGA Nvidias for 10+ years but the price for the 3060s is just too high...

"after Russia destroyed Cryoin and Ingas " Source of this? Thing is while Odessa and Mariupol have sustained attacks, Russia would not want to target non-military industrial factories. First due to international law and second because those factories would be the war prize if you get to...

lol do you think sanctions take a month to work? lol Sure Russia is making more money in the short term, which was very expected, but it's about the lateral repercussions of the sanctions like no parts for planes or tech to replace what breaks. Would you be taking a russian flight knowing they...

The chinese are very pragmatic and know the second an invasion begins, TSMC, the US or some sort of proxy actor will sabotage all the machines. No amount of promises from the PRC to TSMC about they keeping the profits or getting aid from the state etc will make TSMC join the PRC. There is just...

Well, we do not want the chinese to have the tech for WMDs that can reach continental US. If the chinese is able to reach the US mainland they'll get more confidence in not only getting aggresive with the US but also with a bunch of allies. The tech not only allows chinese to attack but also...

Nvidia in the sheets. AMD in the streets. I'm an ancient from the times that you could flash an ATI 9800SE into a 9800 Pro. Back when Nvidia FX line was pure garbage. PCs had a turbo button and could be locked with a barrel key. I've owned a computer business for 20+ years and almost all the...

This is the APU that will get handheld PC gaming (Steam Deck) interesting. Zen 4, RDNA 3, 4nm, PCIe 5.0, DDR5 and a new AI engine that for sure will have gaming enhancing elements. Pretty sure we'll see a slimmer and more powerful with better battery life Steam Deck 2 with this APU.

I've got a few cards that were mined and they always have issues. Artifacts, blue screens, PC failing to post, etc. it is just not worth the hassle no matter how cheap it is. Just save a few more bucks and get a brand new card from a reputable source with all the necessary warranty...

I'm sure this has been discussed in the higher echelons of Apple executive branch. Apple entrance as a silicon provider for other vendors would shoot their stock to the roof at the expense of Intel, AMD and Nvidia. A key player that would see the most benefit would be Microsoft who would rapidly...

Well, no one expected the war in Ukraine to unfold as it is happening. Just-in-time (JIT) and just-in-case (JIC) production methodologies are the two options executives make when navigating unfirseen circumtances as those we've seen in the past few years. Computer components are usually made in...

I'm in that group. My cadence is skip 3 CPU gens and 1 GPU gen so I was due getting a 30XX and even if I tried waiting lists and lotteries and all that it didnt work. Then for a months now I'm getting emails of all kinds of retailers pretty much begging to buy their 30XX stock throwing in crap I...
