Have you seen the video going through smartphone CPUs? they show, in comparison to other chips, the Tensor 1 as being garbage. It was a low-low-end chip, yet they charged mid-tier to high-tier prices. I'd say the pixel 6 should've had a much lower starting price. Now with Pixel 7, with their...

Ada architecture position equivalency to previous model >>>>> Ampere architecture 4090 3090/ 3080ti 4080 16GB 3070 4080 12GB 3060

I think this will happen with other AIBs too. As politicians make certain decisions..... and resources become more scarce and expensive, things will become more expensive for consumers and provide lower margins for companies like EVGA. It won't be profitable any longer to produce anything. I...

Windows 11 is all about reducing choice.

Such price falls. I feel like I should wait even more. Seems like a race to the bottom.

I went and picked up a 5900X from a local MC. That 5800X is coming down in per-core price, interesting... I've got all my parts except: mobo, and a gpu. I'm waiting on the mobo until I get a GPU. I don't have a bot, I just have F5 and ctrl+F5. I hope I can pickup a GPU from AMD at a...

If the 5800x were $369.99 , I could be moved to get one. Right now, even with the discount ($429), the 5800x is the most expensive on a per-core $ amount. It's the worst deal of the 5000 series. I'm looking out for the 5900x, for my use case.

An operating system should act as a platform so you, the user, can do what he or she wants. But with Windows 10 you are forced to have telemetry (it's OS integrated spyware, but since they told you about it you can't call it spyware anymore because it needs to be without your knowledge). I don't...

Eternal looks like Quake 3 Arena with modern graphics and a story called 'Doom'.

I remember reading an article, centuries ago, where someone interviewed a rep from DELL and asked about selling laptops without webcams and the response was like 'our customers all want it'. Fast forward to today... I'm at a cybersecurity conference and like everyone has either taped, bandaided...

There won't be a 'death' of the PC, it'll just 'evolve' to service based access and and streamed utilization from the cloud. Local installation and storage will be phased out. Recently there was the front page article showing Office 2019 vs Office 365 and how the service based Office 365 was...

Does this all matter any more? Who cares when Navi comes out. When you go to Steam and look at the top games... will you need a new GPU? Most of the top games will do just fine on a cpu with integrated graphics. I'm thinking we are in the dark ages of PC gaming at the moment. There needs to be...

Once I heard "Caution, the enemy is approaching" right at the beginning... immediately I thought "avoid this game". A few minutes later in the video.... ""Caution, the enemy is approaching". Come on. You are in third person. You can't see? The game must tell you? THEN in the video when your...

They Daredevil-ified the Punisher on Netflix. It seemed like too much fist fighting, like Daredevil. Daredevil on its own was good, but the Punisher is something else. He's all about firearms, weaponry. Those should have been front and center, but they weren't as much. The Netflix show had the...
