The Alienware unit is most likely an LG 2019 series OLED Television with an additional DisplayPort 1.4
The 2019 LG OLED TV series will have:
- full HDMI 2.1 (incl. full bandwidth, VRR, ALL, the works)
- 120Hz OLED refresh rate and input (via HDMI 2.1)
- 13 ms lag
The reason why this is not...
Yes, there is stagnation for now.
Most people are waiting for some of the following or combination of thereof:
- True HDR with 1000 nits peak brightness with quantum dots or 500+ local dimming zones
- Full REC.2020 color space and nice calibration out of the box
- True 120Hz+ refresh rates
-...
Announced in Q1/2016 with the first 300GB "Freeze Ray" aka "Archival Disc" standard discs for commercial data storage installations. Apparently Facebook is one of the first test and/or production customers:
freeze-ray: Optical Disc-Based Data Archive System | Panasonic
Let's hope it catches on...
Did the following for my X58 Nehalem i920:
- Xeon X5675 hexa-core off eBay + new cpu-cooler. Hopefully will get 4.2-4.4GHz out of it. Let's see.
- Lycom DT-120 PCIe x4 + Samsung SM951 AHCI - should be bootable and c. 3x faster than SATA-3 on this
- ASM1142 based USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C + Type A...
Great find, thanks! Already have 1 850Pro 1TB, could easily buy another one and RAID those. Would finally have enough space on the system drive for all the apps and games :-)
Had not checked the StarTech M.2 interface, bummed it is SATA3 not nvme. Ah well. Currently I cannot find any PCI-e nvme...
Thanks. Hunting down x5680 now locally first, then on eBay. Hopefully will get beyond 4.5Ghz. Am thinking of upgrading the CPU cooler and de-lidding the Xeon to get down the temps.
Next stop: Find a way to build M.2 RAID 0, perhaps using this M.2 RAID Controller from StarTech:
2x M.2 NGFF SSD...
Where did you read this? Can't find any info on Skylake-E or the new HEDT chipset (X99 successor) roadmap.
I'm almost pulling the trigger on LGA2011v3 with Broadwell-E in H2 2016, when they hopefully chip, BUT:
- Still no M.2 RAID 0 booting on X99 (minor letdown)
- nVidia Pascal and AMD...
In the same boat.
Running i7-920 Quad (8xHT) at 3.5Ghz/12GB RAM/SATA-3 SSD Samsung 850 Pro/GTX970. Pretty much everything runs, and fast. Browser runs from RAMdisk and is insanely fast.
However, when I do a lot of things at the same time, I can saturate primary core and often multiple cores...
