    Origin PC drops AMD graphics options

    Indeed... Origin is saying that because they source their Nvidia cards from an OEM, Nvidia doesn't make any money from them. They also say AMD doesn't provide them with any support in terms of test products. Shouldn't Origin be complaining to their AMD OEM source about not receiving test...

    One Fifth of U.S. Consumers Want an iWatch, Sight Unseen

    Would the phone be anything like Dick Tracy used to have in the comics? A video phone worn on your wrist. I could go for something like that. Anything less... no way.

    It's Wrong to Pretend Video Games Are Art

    He's correct to some point about why video games are being considered art, but physical games are not. Why should Pac Man be considered worthy of display at MoMA, but not Chess? What's wrong with D&D, Warhammer, or Star Fleet Battles; either one of these can fill up a bookcase with lore, rules...

    Ex-Apple Manager Slams Tim Cook's Management Style

    The guy was asked to leave Apple in 2004? How is his information even relevant 8 years later? That's pre-iPhone, pre-Intel Mac and barely pre-WOW. What else happened in 2004: - Facebook was launched. - Ubuntu appeared. - 1GB SD cards

    Good AMD Proccesor and Motherboard Combinations

    I'd imagine FM2 is going to be a safe bet. All of AMDs desktop processors are supposed going to feature APUs in 2 years - when HSA is supposed to be widely supported.

    Why aren't there any high end AMD CPUs?

    There's no high-end AMD cpu because there is no market for high-end processors. The fight between Intel and AMD for desktop processing power means nothing compared to mobile computers where ARM dominates both of them. How can Intel and AMD compete against ARM, who has no fabs, makes no product...

    Why aren't there any high end AMD CPUs?

    So your statement of opinion was "How much longer will AMD be in business?" Funny, it doesn't seem like a statement of opinion (it's a question), nor was it answer to the OPs question of why there wasn't high-end AMD cpus. Just admit it... it was pure troll.

    Your AMD CPU upgrade history!

    Can I copy and paste this to claim as my own upgrade history? It's close enough... Socket 7 - check (not sure of the speed) CPU upgrade for an AST 6000. Super 7 - I know I had a 400MHz then a K6III+500, which I still have Slot A - Instead of the 650 and 750, I had a K7-700. Then graduated...

    Vishera Piledriver Benched

    I can boot at over 4.2@1.2V and an FSB around 206 - it's almost stable enough for web browsing. I still keep a BIOS save for this config, if I want to play with it - I might return to it someday with better RAM. Seeing what I could do at 4.0 is what I do with this processor. Like all overclocks...

    Vishera Piledriver Benched

    And here's some numbers... Just encoded the Avengers episode "Never, Never Say Die" in Handbrake - took just over 8 minutes for the 51:15 show to another hard drive. Kill-a-watt showed no more than 265W at a peak of around 66% processor. Idling now at 135W.

    Vishera Piledriver Benched

    I can't speak for ebduncan, but my bulldozer is overclocked and undervolted. I'm running the same board as ebduncan. Stock BD with CPB enabled requires 1.4V, under aggressive LLC this can increase a lot - on my machine it was over 1.6V. Once CPB is disabled, BD voltage drops to 1.2V. LLC can...

    Desktop Trinity Soon, or Am I Dreaming?

    If there is a gap between offering a cpu to OEMs and the general public, it usually isn't six months. The only other time I can think of a gap this large is when Apple got some Intel exclusive releases. I guess times really have changed for AMD - they used to rely on hobbyists to generate...

    Desktop Trinity Soon, or Am I Dreaming?

    Thanks man. So it's still true, I won't see desktop Trinity until I'm old, bald and impo... wait a second.
