    Elephant in the room

    Why are people so sensitive? If the matter of "relevance" of the release of the TR2 is argued then why would a lower order article on Optane take centre stage? My point wasn't that they didn't post a full review....copy and pasted or whatever. My point was that there was no mention AT...

    Elephant in the room

    I am no novice nor am I naive, particularly in computing. My concern is that as a larger site they have a responsibility to their readers (not that I am an avid one or that I necessarily accept their views) to provide industry information so that the users can form their own views (as we all...

    Elephant in the room

    Not sure where to post this but here seems the most appropriate. AMD recently released its middling models o Threadripper as well as preempting an announcement of future developments. Across the tech reporting industry these got wide and sometimes in-depth coverage with at least mentioning the...

    Nvidia cancels GPP

    Well done Kyle and the manufacturers who didn't let themselves be bullied by that blatant abuse of market position. It has restored some hope in me that ethics and probity still is alive, flickering, despite the almost overwhelming influence of "money-at-all-costs" mentality exhibited by many...

    AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen 2 2700X Zen+ CPU Review @ [H]

    In my opinion you played it right when you had some doubts. It is better to err on the cautious side than mislead a whole bunch of your viewers. It is easy for us scrubs to throw stones....after all we have no accountability. Thanks Kyle for the honest approach. It worked out right in the end...

    GIGABYTE Reports Precision Boost 2 Working on X370

    I had the latest bios (F23d) with AGESA 1.0.0.2a installed on my Gigabyte AB350M D3H and a 1600 with no change to the original Performance Boost. As soon as I swapped to the 2700X, Performance Boost 2 was operative on the new CPU with a standard install.

    AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen 2 2700X Zen+ CPU Review @ [H]

    Yeah I realised that my B350 mobo with the 1600 in only implemented the original PB yet with the 2700X it implemented PB2. To me that indicated that PB is defined in the cpu and only enabled/disabled by the mobo. Even when fully loaded my 2700X is way over base (3.7g) at 4.017 on all cores.

    AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen 2 2700X Zen+ CPU Review @ [H]

    My understanding is that when you enable CPB in the BIOS it enables PB2.....without CPB enabled, PB2 will not activate. The different terminology used by mobo manufacturers and AMD for this is confusing. In essence they are one and the same thing it seems. (It seems that CPB in the bios is a...

    AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen 2 2700X Zen+ CPU Review @ [H]

    I had an O/C Ryzen 1600 on a Gigabyte AB350M D3H mobo. Stuck the 2700X straight in at stock speeds. It appears that Precision Boost 2 is working on the B350 chipsets as well. All 8 cores showing in RyzenMaster at over 4.1Ghz (bounces around a little). And this is at STOCK....no O/C. Regularly...
