    Asus CH7 RAM support

    Hello, Could anyone let me know if the Asus CH7 AM4 motherboard supports 2x 32GB of RAM ? The current ASUS webpage of specifications is confusing at best listing many different configurations which I suppose depends on CPU installed ? I just upgraded to 5800X3D. The user guide looks out of...

    Tesla disables feature after car is purchased, claims feature 'wasn't paid for'.

    I had to sign one for Adaptive cruise control Stop & Go on my Ford. They state that you have to be aware of your surroundings and that this is NOT an autopilot. I would think that Tesla does the same which is fine by me. Now I doubt the used market does the same.

    Intel Compares AMD Laptop with RTX 2060 to Intel Laptop with RTX 2080, Claims Intel CPUs are Better

    Can't you pair a discrete GPU using USB-C ? Seems like they could have tried to not hide every solutions..

    Surface Book 3 - Intel stomps AMD

    Well the higher SKU of AMD for the surface edition is also a 15W default TDP and their battery life isn't calculated on CPU/GPU intensive tasks. "involves continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 150 nits." They didn't mention which WiFi standard was used here and the Intel has the advantage of...

    Can you benchmark desktop "snappyness"?

    I prefer to just re-image once in a while (usually after big Windows updates) to get that feeling. All the important stuff are on other SSD/HDD and/running into VM. Never had luck with defrags in the past lol

    Am I looking at benchmarks the wrong way?

    Dan_D sum it up well but if I may add, it's the buyer's responsibility to understand their use case and analyze the data provided. It's easy to get swayed one way or another on the internet. You may also request tips from educated users like this forum for sure but make sure you include all the...

    Am I looking at benchmarks the wrong way?

    Well across the board although I doubt anyone said "largely superior" means way more than gaming at 1080P using a 2080TI and an i3 CPU ...

    Threadripper 3000, who bought it?

    Well as in everything else, we need to keep pushing the boundaries of bleeding edge and stay far away from stagnation (4 cores Intel, I'm looking at you). There's always lower tier offering and claiming the crown is always good marketing (See NVidia here). Nobody is forcing people to buy into...

    Intel is still sneakily sabotaging AMD performance

    ? couldn't mathlab implement the workaround in the preference menu mentioned around the internet lol ? Using a simple command they're able to tap into the blocked power of AMD CPU. I think the worst commotion is it's not 100% block, it can be bypassed but it's hidden from typical user. Mathlab...

    Intel is still sneakily sabotaging AMD performance

    To be fair, yes they use an old DLL but the fact it's so easy (when known) to actually "fix" this and that mathlab dev turn a blind eye is odd at best. Don't they want their SW to work as best as possible on all HW ? Why don't they implement a fix for this behavior instead of calling out their...

    10980XE vs 3950X Benchmarks | Test Review | Gaming | 15 Tests

    So 4 additional threads to be ahead in "selected" productivity benches but lose pretty much all gaming benchmarks at all resolution tested ? That's called Slaughtering ? And for the same price I bet ? [lol] Anyway I'll wait for real reviews before I make my opinion.

    AMD Ryzen 9 3950X beats pricier Intel Core i9-10980XE and Core i9-9980XE in Geekbench

    Yeah, binning magic working hard here. If the demand is too high they might loosen the binning rules which would change the current reviews. Time will tell.

    AMD Ryzen 9 3950X beats pricier Intel Core i9-10980XE and Core i9-9980XE in Geekbench

    Most reviews showed the 3950X consumed less power than the 3900X, if those VRM survived the 3900X I'm sure they can handle the 3950X ;) I wonder however just how better the cherry picked cores are now compared to later this year / next year ? This could change the consumed power...

    AMD’s Flagship Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64 Core & 128 Thread Monster CPU Leaks Out Accidentally

    Well please define cheap ? This 64 cores is niche and has no competition at all... The lower core counts may be a little more pricey per core than Intel but let's be honest... Intel does not have anything to propose at TR and for the lower core count, choose Zen. This CPU is above and beyond...

    AMD’s Flagship Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64 Core & 128 Thread Monster CPU Leaks Out Accidentally

    Does Intel sell 32+ cores on the mainstream market ? Comparison is meaningless if not. Does Intel offer that many PCIe same number of core ? We also shall see how the new high core count clocks without exotic cooling ... Please compare apples to apples ... unless all you do is gaming in which...

    AMD’s Flagship Ryzen Threadripper 3990X 64 Core & 128 Thread Monster CPU Leaks Out Accidentally

    Well wow, seems like a product so niche it will either only sell a few or people on tight budget that can't afford Epyc will buy thinking it's as good as Epyc. If the later and proven somewhat close to truth, aren't they losing potential revenue on Epyc ? Maybe not since those would probably no...

    Intel reportedly reserved $ 3 billion in 2019 to competitively block AMD

    Discounts are fine by me as long as it's not tied to back scene deals that would; A) Block AMD products B) Make on purpose AMD products more expensive or "low quality" C) Train / force employees to sale Intel only with false claim D) Reward sales based on which OEM is sold There's more to this...

    Intel Core i9-9900KS Review: The Fastest Gaming CPU Bar None

    Didn't meant to attack you, I saw your other posts too ;) I'm just tired a little of reading that same sentence over and over again but yeah you do recommend AMD on some other cases, point given. Please don't reply with it again lol, everyone has their own personal use and they can decide what...

    Intel Core i9-9900KS Review: The Fastest Gaming CPU Bar None

    One could argue that the Intel top dog is also outside of "typical" consumer area and is into pro / hobbyist area instead. Given the nature of the bleeding edge segment and that mostly advance users will use those higher core counts it's safe to assume a high percentage of those users will use...

    Netflix Password Sharing Crackdown

    Lol, really ? I know for sure that the people I share with won't pony up the money and will wait either to get it from another source (duh) or until I decide to be a nice guy and setup a VPN thru my IP. Anyway I just saw headlines of Netflix saying this is fake. Not sure how legit the fake news...

    US Navy just patented a very compact fusion reactor.

    Bah, ice & salt pretty much kill the frame after some time here (I shoot my car yearly against rust but still...) and new techs may or may not be possible to install. I love having Android auto, stop & go cruise control (god sent in traffic), magnetic suspension, AWD etc ... I love my ford...

    US Navy just patented a very compact fusion reactor.

    Funny that I fall on this thread, I just read that HydroQuebec is planning to invest in "Green/Clean" Hydrogen production with by separating it using electricity made from Green source. Although this may not yield higher than invested energy, hydro electricity is already a clean source and...

    Netflix Password Sharing Crackdown

    Seems like you define the acceptable threshold ? I've never paid for cable nor will I (Can't stand the almost 50% adds). I pay for Netflix and Spotify for my sister and close friend since they can't afford it. If they lock this to one IP I'll simply cancel everything. They seem to think that...

    Fortnite season 11 event ends with a cosmic explosion and now the game is gone

    Well you did experience competitive season playing ? Like CAL league in CS ? It's basically the same, you get rewards and ranking... and once in a while it restarts. Pretty much the same scenario in about anything competitive... doesn't mean you need to be competitive. Although Fortnite is...

    Telecom Lobbyists Successfully Remove Canada from Wireless Pricing Report

    Videotron has been in the area for TV & Internet but only recently was able to buy a spectrum to provide their own cellular network. They were associated with Rogers I believe when they first started to offer cellphones. I do think that it's ok to close the market to Canadian only companies to...

    Telecom Lobbyists Successfully Remove Canada from Wireless Pricing Report

    Well pretty much any industry is aiming for such GM and tbh, I saw higher % in tech industries, although not aimed at consumer level. This number is to be taken with a grain of salt I think, disclosed numbers are always public numbers. So far from the comparison people listed they either have...

    Telecom Lobbyists Successfully Remove Canada from Wireless Pricing Report

    I do agree that data only plan are scarce. I think they based their analysis on data only plans which indeed is off the chart mainly to block VOIP users I guess. Also getting a US SIM card would be a bad avenue in the long run, imagine 50% of users on US SIM cards... network would not be...

    Telecom Lobbyists Successfully Remove Canada from Wireless Pricing Report

    Can you get one with a Canadian postal code ? I would think they would say you need a valid US zip code... You also need to factor in that your family will probably pay long distance when they call your US phone number ... And frankly, how cheaper are the US plan seriously ? Edit: just checked...

    Telecom Lobbyists Successfully Remove Canada from Wireless Pricing Report

    Ok, so ~150$/m (no tax) is atrocious for 2 lines with 24GB shared and 1200$ worth of phones (2years). Man am I wrong.... and here I thought I had the good deals here in Quebec. But yeah again you fail to provide any hint or help to improve this ... you can judge all you want but trust me, here...

    Telecom Lobbyists Successfully Remove Canada from Wireless Pricing Report

    Negotiating for the best deal is doing nothing ? And by the way, I asked you what (keyword) could I do to not be painted by you as the problem ? As in, please provide an example. Merely saying that what I do is inaction and failing to provide other avenue or ideas is weak. You can do better...

    Intel Core i9 Cascade Lake-X thread

    Yeah they're indeed marketing it like that, doesn't mean it's the smart choice lol. Gaming market have wider exposition and will reach much more potential buyer than HEDT, free publicity. I think HEDT consumer might be a bit more informed on the product than most gaming audience. Between us...
