    AMD Compute vs Synthetic vs Gaming

    I'm probably not stating this properly, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to get at. Why is AMD's performance across these different things so inconsistent? Is it hardware limitations? Driver support? The software itself not being consistently AMD optimized? Something else?

    MSI GeForce RTX 2070 GAMING Z Performance Review @ [H]

    Being in Canada the prices are completely insane. Very thankful to have picked up a 1070, to replace my 7970, for a mere $325 CDN. I worry that RTX Ray Tracing is a fool's errand. Nvidia has not instilled confidence in proprietary technologies lately and I worry that all the investments being...

    Samsung Preps Mobile GPU

    That answer just raises the question of how modular is it?

    Intel i7-9700K Appears on SiSoftware Database: 8 Cores, No Hyper-Threading

    This just seems like the logical evolution for Intel. Their naming convention is a complete clusterfuck and this just brings that to the desktop. Their 8th Gen mobile consists of 4 and 6 core chips all with hyperthreading. The 7th had 2 or 4 cores, again with hyperthreading. Yes, the 2 core...

    Tab S3 models

    If my upload wasn't totally embarrassing I'd make more use of the cloud, but as it is even backing up a larger number of pictures or heaven forbid a movie completely borks the internet for me. Download is also not what many would call speedy. Also, Canadian ISPs cap all the bandwidth. My...

    Tab S3 models

    An iPad Pro is tempting, but the 256GB versions are $1000 here. At that price I feel like a Surface would be better though it would also have tradeoffs. Used... Larger models are unicorns and insanely expensive. Can you drop files on it yet or is everything still down through iTunes?

    Tab S3 models

    SM-T820NZKAXAR SM-T820NZKAXAC I'm considering an upgrade from my Tab S and the S3 seems to be the only thing decent unless I go up to a Surface. It's used at home for normal Tablet things but seems most action when traveling - roadtrips or holidays. The Tab S has been great and has never let me...

    EVGA Caught Sampling PSUs to Reviewers Not the Same as Retail

    I'm on my 4th AX860i. First was awesome for about 18 months and then began to squeal. 2 squealed out of the box at minimal load. 3 when under gaming load or anything above. 4's been awesome for about 2 years now. RMA to Canada sucks ass. Had to fight duty charges twice.

    Why Phone Makers Are Trying to Kill the Headphone Jack

    I'd rather have a 1 or 2mm thicker phone and a bigass battery than no jacks and the current battery situation. I totally agree the reason that Apple removed the jack was to sell more licensed stuff - that's like free money.

    Young Men Are Playing Video Games Instead of Getting Jobs

    I think growing numbers of the population are living at home longer because rent in a growing number of places here in Canada exceeds the cost of a mortgage. In BC, the average price of a home just cleared 700k. Yes, there are cheaper places to live within the province, but the majority of the...

    PS4 Pro Finally Supports 4K Video Files

    From my understanding and what I've read it was really poor planning or timing on Sony's part. Sony's UHD drive is just shipping now so for them to have had a drive for the PS4P they would have needed to have expedited their own drive or used a drive from a competitor. Why they dropped the ball...

    Google Is Developing yet Another Social App for Group Photo Sharing and Editing

    While true, the overlap is ridiculous. Android has several SMS apps all with varying levels of compatibility and functionality. Seems like a lot of work to keep reinventing something rather than upgrading the existing to make it better.

    Mazda Claims There Is No Demand for Electric Vehicles

    Being in trades, it's the same thing as the "take transit to work day" or "bike to work" or whatever it is this month. Many people have vehicles full of stuff that cannot, in any way, do that. Additionally, a vehicle like a van, or a truck, used for work, is a large, heavy beast. If it takes 7...

    Mazda Claims There Is No Demand for Electric Vehicles

    People would shit if we did that here with the new code requiring arc faults for EVERYTHING except Kitchen Counter. They're already upset about the AFCI rules, and the rumors I've heard is that 2018 will be all recpetacles in addition to moving to 6 outlets per circuit rather than 12. A total...

    Preinstalled Android Malware Targeting Mobile Users

    Many banks here still use Windows 98 for their ATMs and maybe more? So even if your system is safe, is it really beyond reason that you're not the weak link in the system? Why target a mobile or home user device when you can hit the business everyone uses?
