    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?

    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...

    Upgrade... 4770 vs 4770K

    So I was reading about the processors and I'm wondering if the K is worth it this round. I seen that Intel disabled some extensions on the K series and I'm wondering how that would affect things compared to the extra little bit you might be able to squeeze out of it. I don't care about the...

    Thunderbolt... all noise but no substance?

    It seems like Thunderbolt was dead before it hit. Asus lists it on 2 boards... Expert and Deluxe/Dual. No ROG boards with it. Nothing from MSI, Gigabyte, or ASRock that I can see. The only manufacturer with widespread TB is Apple tho their Workstations don't have it either. It's pretty easy...

    NICs... Intel vs Killer

    I'm wanting to upgrade to Haswell and I'm trying to figure out what route to take. I really like the MSI MPower and GD65 Gaming. They come with Killer NIC. The Asus Formula is also on my radar tho I might not wait that long. ASRock also has the Extreme6/ac which has dual Intel NICs. I've...

    Haswell and older Silverstone...

    My buddy has a ST85ZF. It was a great PSU 6 years ago but I'm not sure it's Haswell approved. It's not listed but no one is listing older PSU's as I can only imagine the epic pain in the ass it would be for that level of testing. I'm guessing he needs a new one... what do you think?

    Haswell and memory voltage

    I'm planning on a Haswell build and there's some decent deals on memory right now. It seems that memory less than 1.5V is almost a unicorn in Canada so I'm wondering if 2x8GB of 1.5V DDR3 will play nice with Haswell or if I need to look harder and pay the additional premium for 1.35/1.25V DDR3...
