• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Gamer Nexus - BLACKLISTED by AMD | AMD's Dirty Tactics

    If you're running a review site/channel as a business (you have staff and value your personal time at greater than $0), the cost of the hardware is immaterial compared to labor cost incurred to actually do the review. Both AMD and Intel have done this multiple times over recent years. The...

    AMD officially announces 9950X3D2, dual 3D V-Cache CCD 16-core/32-thread AM5 chip

    I think, for the most part, the emphasis on the selected sites were those that were not primarily gaming sites. My site, TPU and GN, for example, have a heavy emphasis on gaming and did not get sampled. We didn't even get the launch memo until we asked about it. Yet, you see Phoronix on the list...

    AMD officially announces 9950X3D2, dual 3D V-Cache CCD 16-core/32-thread AM5 chip

    I think it's more simple than that - they were looking for minimum viable coverage for a launch with the aim to avoid the inevitable collective yawn, much like the reception of the Intel KS chips. With Zen 6 around the corner, this will probably end up being a low volume niche part...

    WTB: 12-14 LGA1700 cpu

    If you want more cores, I've got a 12900K. Maybe $250 shipped Paypal FF? Seems all the new examples are going for ~$300 from a quick search.... Heat under Schro

    AMD Launches Ryzen 7 9850X3D, The World's Fastest Gaming CPU

    Embargo should be up across the web now even though the announcement isn't done on the live stream. 9850X3D confirmed, 5.6ghz vs 5.2 for the 9800X3D. Allegedly both will stay in market, they were mum on pricing and on shelf dates. No 9950X3DX2 mentioned.

    FULL SYSTEM: Intel i7-6700K, Asus Z170I Pro Gaming, 16GB DDR4, 500GB SSD, 520 Watt PSU, GTX 1060, NR200 Black!

    Let's think about this. IF his account was hijacked, how much would turning on 2FA help right now?

    Amazon Prime Day Deals 2025

    Prices have been creeping starting a week or two ago - not as much movement day before from what I've been observing.

    Anandtech.com is gone

    That's no different than I see in my metrics - MOST traffic goes from page 1 to conclusion page, sometimes the next to last page. I'd say benchmark pages get 20-30% of the views compared to introduction/first pages. That's why the conclusion page restates all of the performance in the charts...

    Amazon Prime Day Deals 2025

    Good choice. You'll also need to grab a 5090 if you want a chance at running most games (4090 isn't even enough for Fortnite).

    [SemiAccurate] upcoming Nvidia chip has a problem that doesn't have a fix as of now

    Charlie is probably one of the best connected folks in the industry from what I can tell. If he's writing something, he's probably got the receipts.

    T-Mobile Free Line

    I have 6 free lines on my account (it's been a few years since I added). I suppose the main catch is once you hit a total of 8 lines, you won't get the auto-pay discount for additional lines (don't think that will apply to the free lines, but if you add a watch/tablet line, it'll soak you an...
