    News Core Ultra 9 285K is slower than Core i9-14900K in gaming, according to leaked Intel slide — Arrow Lake consumes less power, though

    Oh yeah, for sure. It really wasn't that long ago that CPU rendering was the only thing used. Or, to me, having used 68000 for raytracing, it's not ... such... a long... time ago. Real3D I think it was called. Yeah, the only place it makes sense is if you want to use some option that your asic...

    I know, I know, I may be nitpicking, but how on earth is Cinebench 2024 a content creation application, unless you mean a tool used by benchmarkers to make... content?

    News Developer ports Windows NT to Power Macintosh systems — firmware and boot loader now available

    Most were bi-endian, as you point out, and Windows NT 4 ran in little endian mode. A register in the MSR sets the mode.

    News This PSU has enough juice to power four RTX 4090s — the HELA 2500R comes with four 12V-2x6 connectors and requires a special wall plug

    What special power plug does it have? I'm seeing a regular C19, as found on the Corsair AX1600i, HX1500i, etc. I know that's not the wall plug, but since it doesn't have an attached cable, what matters is what cable ends the cable ends are, and in Europe I can just use a good ol' regular Schuko...

    News AZ Union Fires Back at 'Offensive' TSMC Claims of Unskilled U.S. Workers

    The problem here is that that's exactly what's going on and then TSMC says "We don't get enough skilled low-cost labor, so we'll just have to bring in our own from Taiwan. It's all YOUR fault we do this! We so want to use Americans, but, you know, there just isn't enough!". I can totally see...

    News G.Skill's DDR5 Hits 11,240 MT/s: A New World's Record

    If we're going to be testing memory, then do everything else as optimal as possible, if that's cherry-picking a CPU with an insane IMC and disabling some cores, so what? We're testing memory, not CPU. If we were testing CPU cores, then sure, but if we're testing memory? Also, to take the 20 000...

    News Frustrated Retro Gamer Overclocks ISA Bus Over 200%

    Very many ISA cards that had trouble going up in bus speed. Personally I never heard of anyone going as high as 25MHz. What cards did you regularly run at 25MHz or above?

    News Frustrated Retro Gamer Overclocks ISA Bus Over 200%

    I don't recall a 486DX-20, either. Doesn't mean one didn't exist, DX-25, yes. Remember that early in the Pentium era, when they were hard to get hold of and got recalled, etc, there were some 486 PCI motherboards out there to cate for the Ooh Ahh new bus (PCI), but affordable/can get hold of. I...

    News Moore Threads MTT S70: A GPU with 7GB of GDDR6 Memory

    I wonder if that's fused in hardware or not, as I would guess they are the same dies, just fused off parts. Nice catch.
