Did you have the Aorus Ultra Gaming X470 die on you? I had my first ultra gaming die on my after about 13 months. Got lucky and Newegg sent me a replacement. Now my replacement is hard crashing to black screen, can only reset if I cycle the power supply switch. I will never buy another Gigabyte...

Intel 10nm is primarily targeted for laptop segment. When Intel starts talking about 7nm release in 2021, prior to any 10nm desktop parts being available, you can read between the lines that 10nm is complete trash and Intel is just buying time until 7nm is ready. My prediction: Intel 7nm mobile...

Data Center market is where the margins are at. Intel is royally fcked until at least 2021 in data center market. Their 14nm Xeons are power hog compared to equivalent core count AMD Epyc Rome releasing in September on 7nm. Intel 10nm yield is atrocious and will likely never support their Xeon...

With all the issues pointed out with Ryzen bios in this specific thread, its a miracle all the Ryzen 3000 reviews were able to publish on time, and without any notes of instability or crashing during testing. Sucks that I had to wait 7 days for a bios update to run Ryzen 3000 on my old recycled...

If the OP is not gaming on a 2080 or 2080ti class GPU, and primary use is 80% gaming (as stated), any CPU above $300 is an absolute waste. Don't even consider anything over a 9700k/3700X unless you have above GPU.

Thumper, can you tell us what clock speeds your 3800x maintains in game? Very curious to see how in game clock speed compares between 3800X and 3700X. Also what cooler and temps you see in game? Thanks

LMAO, are you really running a 9900K to game at 720P? Please explain to me why you game at year 1996 resolution on top end hardware. Also, agree that unless a gamer is running a 2080Ti, they are better off buying a $329 Ryzen 3700X and getting the best damn gpu they can afford (2080TI) If you...

Are these chiplets not the same utilized in upcoming Rome release? I would expect nearly identical (or better due to binning for enterprise higher margin) ipc and power efficiency gains here for the Rome product.

Very surprised to see such low all core overclock with the new 7nm process. Expect this to win solid market share for data center and cloud market due to power efficiency and price vs Intel. Hopefully TSMC can tweak the process for next 7nm+ release to up the max operating frequency and close...

Power efficiency, ipc improvement, and competitive pricing look great. If this doesnt secure significant server market share from intel, there is some shady shit going on. The max clock speeds are very disappointing for 7nm (4.2 ghz ryzen + vs 4.3 ghz ryzen 2). Was planning to upgrade my...

I wouldn't consider two consecutive quarters of revenue decline "killing it". The only thing great about Nvidia financials this year are the high margins, as usual. Here are the key numbers (FY2020 Q1 Released May 16 2019) Earnings: 88 cents per share, excluding certain items, vs. 81 cents per...

Serious question here so let's get a consensus before this post is also deleted. There was an article posted this afternoon by Joker51 I believe it was, that looked like an anti AMD PR spin article. The article was referring to the AMD partnership where AMD cpu technology was licensed to a...

Odd selection of comparison CPUs in this review. It has the $250 6core/12thread 3600 vs the $480 8 core/16 thread 9900K Looking forward to some 1440P gaming benchmarks at playable settings (75-130 fps)

Love this analogy (sarcasm) You are comparing car designs to a piece of computer hardware that sits inside of a box (case) and cannot be seen in most cases. This reminds me of the "cool people" who put Apple stickers in back window of their car because they are proud of the brand. I use an...

Agree with this, and this is probably why Nvidia is pushing ray tracing to increase the GPU load of future games. Am hoping game streaming such as google stadia and Nvidia Now actually improve so we won't have to spend $500 for mid-range performance
