I'm not too worried about 16 cores on the R9 competing well against the 13900k, but boy am I worried about rumors that AMD may be trying to launch a high R5 with six cores against a 14-core i5 (even if it's a 6+8 config). And on a more expensive platform at that. If that actually happens, boy...

There are worrying rumors that the Zen 4 Ryzen 5 going against this is a six core CPU, full stop, which is honestly worrying. This wouldn't bode well for AMD and it may be the first truly disappointing Ryzen generation if that materializes. Given the choice and the extra platform costs of AM5 I...

I think an elephant in the room is that there's no trophy for liking other people's posts. A "spread the love" trophy (or series of trophies) for liking posts in X amounts of thread (so people don't just spam like every post in a single thread) would be nice. For instance "liked posts in 100...

Wait, this is not going to end up in your regular i3/i5-powered devices, correct? In that case, the discrete graphics in i7-grade laptops are vastly superior, while the Ryzen chips are much cheaper. On another hand if this is the default iGPU on the upcoming Intel chips, that's a neat upgrade...

I think Nvidia could have done great things with a 1680/1670. If they performed like their ray traced alternatives at lower power and were $100-150 less, Turing wouldn't be such a failed line anymore. It would kill their RTX line though.

There's something up with Tom's headlines recently. They also like bombastic wording when writing about mediocre products, moments at which it feels like we're reading bottom of the barrel tech press. I have no idea what's up with that, but I've been very disappointed to see that happen here...

So does the 3 year old 1070 and it comes with more vram and higher performance in the other leaked benchmarks. Did anyone else find the title really misleading at trying to portray the card as somehow a great deal? Yes, its a better value than the other Turing cards, because it really feels...

The blurriness sadly won't go away since DLSS is fed a lower resolution image and upscales it. No matter how good the upscaling will be, you are dealing with lower resolution textures. You can try and optimize the "AI" on cutscenes and elements where the camera angles and objects are exactly in...

Actually as opposed to the above comments I'm very grateful to Germany. The idea to merge Whatsapp with Instagram and Facebook would be a huge hit to our privacy and frankly would ruin a great product. The Whatsapp founder was fighting against it for years, I'm glad there is a meaningful...

I sold my stock the day Turing launched and if I did so a few days later I'd lose money. The public reasons that Nvidia provided for crashing are nice to muddy the waters and I understand that if they flat-out admitted that it's because Turing failed, they'd see even fewer Turing sales and that...

It looks like they're selling 8600/8400 chips with faulty iGPUs as 9400f now.. for the price of a 9400. That's crazy.

Not only was there no RAM, there was no OS. Generally speaking, that build is over 1k over budget at the moment (that's 50% of the price!). A little bit of a fail, especially since Wildcard999 posted a complete build that's within budget and probably better for video editing as well (additional...

A finance-background leader is not what they need now. This was surely an easy and convenient choice, but one that might move them even further in the wrong direction. Intel's obsession with the charts and tables has led them here. They don't need to master redistributing (or keeping) their...
