    Inside the Courtroom Circus With Elon Musk and Sam Altman

    Juries settle matters of fact. The job of the jury is to rule on the facts of the case. Judges settle matters of law. That is to enforce the law where the facts are not in dispute. The parties cannot agree on the facts, thus a neutral arbiter (usually a jury, but can be a judge if parties...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    This is a really good perspective, thanks. the lead times for the options are simply too long. all in all, it goes that we really need to incentivize new fabs to come online from NEW entrants to the market. I'm not sure how to do that, but it feels like this should be something the government...

    DRAM Pricing Jumps 50%, Only 70% of Orders Getting Filled

    Honest to god, given the RAM situation, AMD should restart production of the 5700X3D/5800X3D as the 'budget' offering. Given that part is still very competitive at gaming, it could make sense for the general consumer while we wait for the ddr5 shortage to end

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

    That's the thing. IMO It's not necessary yet. I'm not maxing out my 5800X3D. Would I get some benefit? Probably Yes. Is it worth spending 1000+$ on a new mobo, cpu, & ram (especially RAM)? Based on my subjective analysis. No, at least for me. What would move the needle is if it had more cores...

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

    same for me except replace 9800x3d with 5800x3d. reality is, i want more x3d cores on the CCD before I am going to upgrade. Why go from 8 core to 8 faster cores? I want to go from 8 to 12 or 16 cores with vcache to really make a difference.

    Asus won't warranty RTX 5090 Astral and claim "surface irregularity" under microscope to a Reddit User

    It sounds like there canadian, so the rules there are very different. I'm not sure off the top of my head even what they are for consumer protections. Here in the states we have Magnuson-Moss, which usually comes up with like appliances and cars but given that some GPU's are now more expensive...

    Intel Arc Discrete GPUs Hit 1% Market Share for First Time

    Arc is dead. I will be shocked if celstial gets a dGPU. It more than likely will just be an iGPU tile. after that, their partnership with Nvidia makes me believe they will find a way to get an nvidia iGPU tile for Intel CPU's

    Valve Steam Machine, SteamOS Desktop, Steam Frame VR and Steam Controller

    coming into thread late. my biggest question here is whether or not steam OS is going for becoming the next gaming OS entirely. Meaning. with the steam machine, is that just the next step to replacing windows as the default OS for us gamers. Win 11 has been a complete disaster. Virtually...

    AMD Radeon RX 6000 and RX 5000 to Miss Day-One Game Optimization

    You know, there is a crazy logic here. I could see them splitting the drivers for RDNA. in a world where they need to focus more on optimizing the drivers for newer archetectures that have hardware that the older ones simply do not. What I dont understand here is why RDNA2 is in the mix...

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Yeah its kinda the bare minimum though, if your getting new or even gently used parts, would you go for absolute bare minimum thats going to be outclassed? Think of it this way, the xbox series X and the PS5 are 8 core 16 thread zen2 processor. all games now are being designed with the idea...

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    Thread, not core. At no point did i say anything about core. That was the point. An 8 thread CPU is what is needed (minimum), that is a 4 core with hyperthreading/ SMT, 6 core with hyperthreading/smt, or 8 cores with no hyperthreading/smt (my issue with 'core ultra' Iintel CPU's)...

    Budget gpu upgrade for old system

    If it were me. I'd say it's time for an upgrade. the CPU itself is obsolete, 4 core 4 thread. most modern games are expecting at least 8 threads, sometimes 12. This is where the question comes in about price/performance and how long you want a replacement system to last. Regardless for the...

    is AMD out of high end GPU competition?

    In short. No. If the rumormongers are correct, Navi 41 (the successor to the 7900 XTX (Navi 31)) was cancelled during development. The reason it was was because it did not make business sense to continue development and release it. The resulting product would have been prohibitively expensive...
