That's past the point of diminishing returns. You could always go heat killer block, Iwaki RD30 and four MORA Pro3 rads with 36 140mm fans running on 7V for something much quieter and have coolant temp same as your room! ;-)

Of course no computer is intrinsically silent if you want to go there. But out of all of the computers I use, it is the least noticeable by far. And very far! Just having an Intel laptop checking for updates gets the fan very noticeable using...

My Collection cpufrost

I had four of these. Wish I kept them but traded them away due to noise!

What I've seen with A series mobile chips, it would be more than adequate. Remember it's dedicated for gaming and not a PC that can do other tasks. Heat issues would be far easier to control so clocks will stay locked at highest levels and...

There should be an M3 Ultra down the line, and that will get considerably closer to 4090 performance… but you’re probably going to pay a steep premium for that, well beyond the console realm. I will say that Macs excel at more than just video...

I'm thinking ports running natively and a console. Around the price of a PS5 maybe less. They don't need crazy hardware profits, the store would take care of that. I don't game but in video editing, the M3 Max with 128GB has been a game...

I wish they'd build a console powered by M3 and let Arcade compete with Steam already! 🙃

I don't know, the explosive growth in streaming, and devices syncing increasingly crazy high resolution images, everyone video chatting, etc. etc. uses more upstream bandwidth than in the past. The internet is supposed to democratize content...

35Mbps upstream on 1Gb service [sic] is criminal. Ratio should be 10:1 at worst IMHO. I understand how asymmetrical DOCSIS n is, but its 2024!

I'm using a 7950X3D for a Hyper-V machine and performance is pretty good!

This is especially true when you consider that 90% of top tier PSUs are little more than whitelabeled selections from one of the two actual PSU manufacturers. It's not like EVGA and Corsair actually do any design work on their PSUs beyond the...

^^ So many other interfaces are industry-standardized. I just don't get it, unless the owners of EVGA plan to fold up their tents in the middle of the night and head out to parts unknown. I got a 3060 Ti from them at MSRP when they had that...

You would think after ~20 years of modular power supplies there would be a standard that everyone followed.

I mean, to be fair, no change, no matter how inconsequential should ever be pushed on people. The only way my computer should ever change is if I intentionally change it. If it changes on it's own, I am going to be enraged even if that change...

And paying someone to do it for you is even worse! ;-)

A lot of people are infuriated over this! On MS forum at that! https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/shame-on-microsoft-copilot-should-be-optional/beb73880-576b-4d21-8be0-06d5c0b972f6

No, I don't want to be forced to use something I don't need or don't want. Is that simple enough? AI is either Artificial Intelligence OR Advanced Intelligence. The latter is far more commonplace.
