With 14nm FinFET right around the corner, the first decent GPU die shrink in almost 5 years, now is absolutely the worst time to buy if you care about raw performance, performance per watt, power usage, heck, basically everything.

Does it matter? The problem isn't actually hate speech, but this person decided it was a good idea to single out a former employee by name with some pretty disgusting comments *on a public forum*. Pretty sure every company has clauses about posting this kind of stuff, and yes, you do deserve to...

Illegal in many countries, so that's unlikely.

If anything, it's newer motherboards that are more interesting with USB 3.1 support, M.2 SSD connectors, and more PCI-E lanes for I/O.

Home gets latest updates (as they should, end users don't know any better), those on Pro can delay for months. I can see people on Enterprise delaying for longer because they know what they are doing, but that's not a 50 person company and don't have a full IT support staff.

That's the point of allowing delays on Pro. What they want to avoid is people (some IT folk who don't care about their job) who for some reason or another think they know more than Microsoft and never update, and then complain when their systems gets hacked and turned into malware turds. As far...

The PS4/Xbox One are both 4K capable with H.264, but neither of them support HDCP 2.2 for protected content, HDMI 2.0 for higher frame rates, or HEVC for higher quality at lower bitrates. Basically, current consoles can play 4K YouTube at ok quality using a bunch of bandwidth, but not...

Why would it be any slower than Windows Phone, which runs on a similar level of hardware?

TVs will eventually get cheap enough that 720p TVs die off and 1080p TVs are relegated to only basement bin models. Granted, that's 10-20 years from now probably, but it'll happen soon enough.

The problem actually isn't content, as plenty of movies are already mastered in 4K and Hollywood is salivating at selling everyone their favorite movies yet again. No, the problem is distribution as Blu-ray never eclipsed DVD, and it's incredibly unlikely that Blu-ray 4K will ever pass even...

Which is another way of saying no 20nm GPUs from AMD anytime soon. :(

5K is a lot of pixels to push, almost 2x a single 4K monitor. And unless you're going for the integrated all-in-one iMac approach or hacky Dual DisplayPort 1.2 approach, it's probably best everyone wait for fully standardized DisplayPort 1.3 monitors and GPU hardware.

Ok speeds, shitty customer service (Comcast) Shitty speeds (Verizon DSL) and even shittier speeds (Hughes Satellite). but telco's will say you've got 3 options so you're good to go! :rolleyes:

You're kind of missing from the story that while the Charms bar itself will be killed on desktop (as we know it), that functionality will likely be in the task bar of Metro apps that need it.

I'm so tempted by this monitor but it seems there are so many teething issues with 4K trying to rush it out the door that it's not worth it. Sigh.
