    AMD CPUs, SoC Rumors and Speculations Temp. thread 2

    This HMC vs. HBM argument is starting to get pretty pointless without any real comparisons (Benchmarks) between the two, especially considering the fact that HBM is gonna be more prevalent* with Nvidia jumping on it with pascal. So can we drop it until then, and stop before people get too upset...

    AMD CPUs, SoC Rumors and Speculations Temp. thread 2

    Can AMD actually make it to Zen? I don't know anything about stock and such but AMD has plummeted to the lowest in their recorded stock history. Looks pretty bad to me, or does it not matter that much? http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=AMD&t=1d#{"range":"5d","allowChartStacking":true}

    AMD CPUs, SoC Rumors and Speculations Temp. thread 2

    I know, I think the thing people throw around is Performance = IPC * clockspeed (I know this is oversimplification), meaning that if what he said is true that it is performing 10-20% those percentages includes IPC and clockspeed. So my assumption that we're talking 5-15% over DevilsCanyon still...

    But Juan said performance, not IPC?

    Electronic Arts Feels The Need to Reboot 'Need For Speed'

    I personally prefer the soundtrack of NFS underground to any new dubsteppy thing, but other than I'd agree give me neon under my car!

    Enermax ETS-T40 and ITX

    Sadly the Phanteks is twice as expensive as the Enermax so wouldn't think the cost justifies going with it. But thanks for the suggestions

    Enermax ETS-T40 and ITX

    Adding the cooler was mainly for silence, with the added headroom I can turn down the fanspeed, and then ofc the looks. Also are you sure that the cooler can be rotated? Can't find any documentation of that being done. I got the 2x4 gb kit, I was a tad too fast on partpicker. Yeup wasn't too...

    Enermax ETS-T40 and ITX

    I am currently getting parts for an ITX build in the Fractal Design Node 304. (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j2rbD3) In the search for a cooler I found the Enermax ETS-T40-W. However since it's an ITX-board I am concerned with the cooler being to close to the pci-e slot. It looks like I will need...

    AMD Radeon R9 300 Series MegaThread: FAQ and Resources

    I really don't think it makes sense if the 390x WCE is a dual chip card, due to all the other leaks, except the 8GB memory. The naming is off, the core count is off, unless AMD did some magic and made ~2000 cores as good as ~3000 on Hawaii. (Which would be amazing). Unless it's ~4000 per chip...
