    News AMD Ryzen 7 5800X vs Intel Core i7-11700K: The Eight-Core Faceoff

    They're only close if you ignore the heat, the more expensive PSU, the more expensive fan, the higher price of electricity (over time which will be much more than the $$$ difference between CPU's), Intel's <Mod Edit> glue, and the thing that Intel had rammed UP the gaming industry to the point...

    News AMD Ryzen 7 5800X vs Intel Core i7-11700K: The Eight-Core Faceoff

    Ugh, not a good review. Case in point: Author sees that the specs between these two CPU's are a tie, even though PCIe 4.0 on the Intel is utter crap, there's a latency penalty issue on intel due to RAM, Intel uses FAR more power, requires much better cooling. What are you basing the tie on...

    News AMD's Zen 5 CPUs, APUs Will Likely Tap TSMC's 3nm Process Node

    Devil is in the details. Apple would have given TSMC a production target at that node. It's up to TSMC as to how fast they fill that production order. If TSMC thinks they'll have more capacity than they agreed to sell to Apple, then they can sell it to someone else. Production capacity (yield)...

    Ice Lake Tested: Intel’s First 10nm Benchmarks

    @Paul Alcorn Paul, I'd like you to do a comparison with a Ryzen 3700U, such as the Envy x360. It's time you provide a real comparison. I'm sure Intel wouldn't mind. Otherwise this review really doesn't stand out from the competition (Pcmag). Nobody needs to read a bunch of articles doing the...

    Intel CEO Brian Krzanich Delivers CES Keynote; No 10nm Or 5G Updates

    Good article. These signs taken together really look like Intel is loosing it's core market to AMD. All of their CPU's for the next (2 years ?) will have the meltdown bug. They thought they're architecture was perfect but we just discovered it's flawed. And the CEO bailed on his company...

    Intel CPU Bug Performance Loss Reports Are Premature

    Paul, your last article was fine, this one has some flaws. You have facts mixed with some assumptions. "We also know that Microsoft has already deployed patches in the fast ring Windows Insider builds. Those patches rolled out in November. Notably, there haven't been any reports of massive...

    Kaspersky Antivirus Banned From Use On US Federal Networks

    The US Government would also benefit if it gave it's employees basic IT training. And what kind of Government IT department lets an NSA agent install just any random anti-virus check on a government machine? Am I asking difficult questions? It shouldn't require Federal legislation to get...

    AMD Quietly Changes RX 560 Specifications; Two Versions Are Now Available

    From a consumer point of view, AMD should be making custom computers more easy to build as opposed to more complicated. Why rely on 3rd party builders when the stuff is easy for a regular Joe to assemble it themselves? The fact is that most people don't assemble their own computer because they...

    How To Fight The FCC On Net Neutrality (Opinion)

    @Chris.Ransdall Chris, you're acting woefully ignorant here for someone who claims to have been around that long. Look at Windows as an example. Apple came out with the app store, Microsoft sees that as a great idea to increase profits, and so Microsoft did the following: 1) Sabotage...

    Best CPUs (Archive)

    Coffee Lake CPU's are now factory overclocked. Tim's missed it. You're not buying an 8th generation CPU from Intel.. it's more like you're buying a 7th generation CPU that's been overclocked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O98qP-FsIWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O98qP-FsIWo
