    Intel Core i7-7820X Skylake-X Review

    It also mentions that 0.47% have computers with 8 CPUs, or in other words, cores on them which is what this chip is. So how is using 1080p and not 4K more relevant?

    ProtonMail Over Tor Can Now Increase Privacy, Security, And Censorship Resilience

    "Because .onion address names are generated randomly when chosen, you have to expend significant amounts of computation to get a name that you want." It doesn't take any cpu cycles to think of protonmail or protonemail as a name if names weren't randomly generated.

    Can this card run 1440p

    I use a 970 on a dual monitor setup (one 4k G-Sync and other is 1200p) and gaming on the 4k is fine. Cannot get max graphics settings though.

    Best Deals: October 13 (Archive)

    The Xbox One S does not render games in native 4k. It is strictly a 4k multimedia device (4k Streaming and 4k BluRay player). Marketing has done many people a disservice by making it seem like the Xbox One S plays games in 4k. It is upscaling.
