Fair point. I was hoping the 5800x3d would undermine the price of the 5950x, but now I think it probably isolates it, unless I look at the used market. I suppose the upcoming Black Friday potential deals could be considered the low-water mark. If I don't see a drop then, I'll take $400 as the...

Keeping this relevant to the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X: Predict price bottom on previous gen flagship CPU (new, commercial purchase) to eek out the last bit of use on a system? Any tips? Anecdotes from previous flagships? Context: I have an x570 mobo and ddr4 underutilized, aka unused, and debating if...

*DEAD* WD Black 1TB High-Performance NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD - Gen3, 8 Gb/s - WDS100T2X0C I imagine it's for a short time, good luck.

It's too soon. It sucks that NDAs are sold to review sites (in the form of free hardware). You guys are always great at linking reputable sites and I would continue to do that and offer commentary until your reviews can come out. Let the NDA simmer for a while and see if it still looks...

School me. Haven't smartphones and laptops reached a bit of a market peak? Apple has always achieved a subjective better performance, but now? Besides Iauto, what industry-commanding-presence can they hope to penetrate? I'm not saying this is the downfall of Apple. I'm seeing a ceiling.

Seasonic's unimpeachable performance, consistency in the market, and attention to detail make their power supplies the standard for comparison and my choice where power supplies are now becoming a factor for noise, heat, and efficiency when building computers.

Often, when doing time comparisons, reviewers like to conclude with "effectively" no difference. I am interested at every tiny choke-point and anomaly. Please don't average these out, or gloss over them, instead try to exploit these differences and give an analogous comparison. While...
