    Intel 2022 Keynote

    I went to the link that Intel listed on the slide that Meeho posted looking for actual numbers but none were found. I did find this listed.. Intel apparently used 14th and 15th gen CPUs in this comparison. No wonder Intel got better results than the Ryzen CPUs!! I also thought it was...

    Gamers Red Hot with Fury over Intel Core i7-7700 Temperature Spikes

    Gamers Red Hot with Fury over Intel Core i7-7700 Temperature Spikes

    This "Principal Engineer (I Do not Represent my Employer on Twitter)" at Intel doesn't seem to have a problem of overclocking the 7700K.. especially when it is done with LN2.. He is the Intel "principal engineer" who had a problem with Kyle's 7700K overclocking attempts back in January and...

    Disney Will Never Alter or Restore Original Star Wars Trilogy
