    Intel Core i9-14900K Review - Reaching for the Performance Crown

    Here we go. https://youtu.be/0oALfgsyOg4?si=KB0pFNuY6Pz55VTW&t=1209 About 130W difference between 7800X3D and 14900K when gaming for similar performance. There are some games like Hitman 3 where the difference is 200W. Should anyone care about it? If you game 2000 hours a year and have no...

    Shopping for a card again (3090, 4080, 7900 XT/XTX)

    Don't know yet. Got the card, but working & travelling this week and weekend, hope to put it together sometimes next week. I can check in at a later point.

    Shopping for a card again (3090, 4080, 7900 XT/XTX)

    If I was buying with focus on VR or productivity, I'd pay a little more and get a 4080, but as I got a reasonable deal on 7900XTX this is what I finally bought + my OS will be Linux, so an even easier choice. I waited since 1080ti to finally upgrade. Did not have an AMD/ATI card in ages, X850XT...

    AMD Posts First Loss in Years as Consumer Chip Sales Plummet by 65%

    Strange title - they made a billion this quarter in a declining market, with client segment being the only one posting a loss. Pretty reasonable results, the question is when will they be ready to cut the margin in order to increase revenue, plenty of scope if this is the decision eventually.

    GPU prices — is the worst behind us ?

    Agreed, if they were smart they would go for marketshare in discrete gfx space now that there is plenty of production capacity. Prices above would just about do it, but I'd simplify further with $399, $299, $199 and $149 respectively, same specs. They will remain profitable, but should push...

    AMD Executives Receive Large Bonuses Amid Industry Downturn

    That is the story for the street, as usual - the best light possible, but if you look at exec pay - which is tied to company performance, it is quite clear how they did against targets. I do agree that macroeconomic situation is poor moving towards abysmal, and that is reflected across the...

    Unless things change, first zettaflop systems will need nuclear power, AMD's Su says

    Nuclear lost lobbyist war in the collective West, first in the States, last in France which seems to be the state of play right now. However if interests deemed it necessary, it will be reintroduced. Pushing information processing limits as a requirement, may be the ticket to bring nuclear...

    AMD Executives Receive Large Bonuses Amid Industry Downturn

    Bonuses are actually small - in comparison last proxy from INTC ('22 for '21) peers were receiving north of $1.5M and Pat around $5M in cash bonus alone, which is in line with the norm for companies of similar size which performed reasonably well. From that my conclusion is that the recession is...

    AMD GPU Sales Not That Far Behind NVIDIA's in Revenue Terms

    Well NV have 80% of discrete space sales at the moment, and if we add AI advantage to the mix, I am surprised that AMD is as close as they are at this stage.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    In case this is a big hurdle for you, you can spend $150 now, and upgrade to 5600, or alternatively like me spend double that, go to 5800X3D and get double FPS to be up to speed with modern processors, only a few percent off 13900.

    Interesting read, in depth example of how the industry screws with the contractors. If you cannot afford an army of lawyers, you are at a serious disadvantage. Someone should make a RTS out of it.
