Why repeat the same false BS? It's not smaller and they could have done it with the same ITX stuff that's been around for years without sacrificing size. The main complaints I'm seeing and the same ones I have are price and not taking ITX. I'm still waiting to hear of benefits beyond saving the...

That would be better but still terrible. A desktop 9900K + cooler + Z390 ITX + chassis + 600W SFX PSU is under $1100. You get commodity parts and much healthier secondary market if you ever wanted to take part. These could very well go the way of BTX or any of the other things Intel has proposed...

I don't have the link at hand but it was in a Ghost Canyon write up on the Verge site, take that as you will. This looks to be marketed as a gaming device and at those speculated prices it's going to have a hard time competing with gaming laptops and enthusiast DIY with the Dan's and Velka's of...

Saw on another web site that claims the laptop i5 and "motherboard" barebone will cost $1,050. I'd rather fork out the $250 for a Dan case and not pay over $1,000 for a bespoke motherboard and laptop i5.

Yes I know it's not a riser but in a NUC product, what does it offer over a riser in a boutique sandwich case? For the Mazz fellow, did they miss what was said in the video? It said $1500 for the element which is the card (CPU and board) but nothing else, no storage, RAM, chassis, or PSU. This...

$1500 is overpriced for a fancy PCIe riser. What's the difference between this and strapping a blower cooler on to an ITX board with socketed CPU? And why is the blower intake facing the GPU instead of the outer side of the case?

Better hide inside your compound for the next little while. Go Topless Day is in 2 weeks.

It's only an issue because the USA is in the clutches of Big Formula.

Someone sarcastically mocks Intel's drivers. You ask if that person has used those said drivers recently. A few examples are posted indicating various issues. You dismiss them as irrelevant, uncommon, in the past, then talk about how great they are at doing things which are presumably not games...

You were the one saying they had stellar drivers in the past so I just provided a counterpoint as it directly relates to their previous performance. Infrequent is usually the word people put in front of "Intel GPU driver updates" and if 6 million players is niche now then so are games like...

https://forums.intel.com/s/question/0D50P0000490FDSSA2/graphics-bug-in-euro-truck-simulator-2-hd-620?language=en_US One of the most active games on Steam with huge numbers of concurrent users and it took them 8 months to fix that.

Yes sir. I went from a bargain bin Haswell H81 board to a Skylake Z170 board on Windows 8 with a sysprep generalize without any problems. I expect to do the same thing for the next upgrade. If this were Windows 2000 or XP my tune would be different but things have advanced since those dark days.

Get a new training manual because that hasn't been necessary for a long time.

Hasn't Intel been touting 15% IPC improvements in Sysmark for each generation of the last 5 years?

This is incorrect. I had older Dell 2209's from 10 years ago which I believe used some unknown Chinese panel which showed temporary "burn in" issues. I've seen other monitors like the 43" Dell 4K without the nano IPS layer show the issue too. On IPS displays in my experience it's always been...
