    FS: Corsair AX1600i (new)

    Not to go too far off topic, but I am sometimes surprised that Corsair hasn't added dedicated RGB power ports to their PSUs.

    FS: Corsair AX1600i (new)

    This is a bit outside of my wheelhouse (so someone with more concrete info should step in), but I believe the latest version of the HX is ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 certified whereas the AX predates those standards. The [latest version of the] HX also has the updated monitoring capability which works...

    30,000 NVIDIA Engineers Use Generative AI for 3x Higher Code Output

    Didn't Nvidia say they were using AI/ML for driver optimization and development a number of years ago? And for hardware dev a few years before that? I know it's cool to say humans are the bestest, but if AI-powered development is so horrid, why is human-powered AMD so far behind?

    Nvidia's first desktop PC chip lands this month — Asus leads with Ascend GX10 Grace Blackwell desktop platform

    Supposedly it has high single thread performance, so it might actually be the most Crysis-friendly CPU we've seen in a while. Well, I mean aside from not supporting any of the required APIs & drivers.

    FTC bans “Fake Reviews”…. Cause that’s gonna work.

    I'm curious what impact this could have on retailers who allow user reviews to be submitted but secretly hide every review below 4 or 5 stars from view and don't count them when showing averages. Almost every retailer seems to do this these days.

    Musk Shows Off Driverless Robotaxi to Be Priced Under $30,000

    While the first hype party pushed it as a vehicle owned by individuals, it is a vehicle that makes no sense for an individual to own. The customer for this car is a company operating a fleet of them which are hailed by end users on demand. The realistic pricing model for this vehicle is a fixed...

    Intel Arc Battlemage “G21” GPU With 20 Xe2 Cores, 12 GB Memory & 2850 MHz Clock Speed Benchmarked

    If this is the flagship configuration (successor to A770), then the performance is pretty meh. The price would have to be pretty close to free for most buyers to be swayed from AMD & Nvidia. If this is a lower tier configuration like an A580 and they maintain the same MSRP, then this could...

    Bungie director fired after internal investigation

    Nvidia delays Blackwell GPUs

    Sales data indicates that the current pricing is great. Cards are still selling well. AMD doesn't have much room to wiggle on price. Their non-console gaming business already operates for a loss. Their gaming product is going to be 2 generations behind Nvidia's forthcoming Ada refresh (5000...

    Nvidia delays Blackwell GPUs

    That might be the important quote right there: "This is partially offset by [redacted] which will have a decent revenue contribution and [redacted] is driving the increase in 3Q revenue" I'm not holding my breath, but I am hoping that [redacted] is the gaming product. Of course, in order to...

    Nvidia delays Blackwell GPUs

    I wonder if this might actually accelerate the release of the 5000 series. The cards running a single die wouldn't be impacted by this, so shipping those would provide some revenue while the multi-die versions get sorted out.

    Logitech wants to make you pay a mouse “subscription”

    On the 900/903, switch replacement is relatively easy since no soldering is required. It's still absolutely absurd to have to do that on a $130 mouse. Oh, and the best part? The $5 (shipped!) replacements from Amazon don't break. That means Logitech decided to save literal pennies on a $130...

    Logitech wants to make you pay a mouse “subscription”

    I stopped buying G900s and 903s when the fifth one needed new buttons after less than 6mos. The double click problems with Logitech mice are so widespread that even Logitech acknowledged them and started freshing old models with optical switches instead. In a correctly designed mouse, the...

    Intel to Cut Thousands of Jobs to Reduce Costs, Fund Rebound

    Hopefully Intel targets their product managers with these cuts. Their product segmentation is pretty poor and they have literal dozens of product managers for each SKU of what is essentially the same CPU. This holds true across every single lineup they sell and industry they serve. In addition...

    Intel to Cut Thousands of Jobs to Reduce Costs, Fund Rebound

    $1,000,000 per employee seems.... a bit high. That's ignoring the fact that they're saying this would be only the 4-month cost of those employees, as well as ignoring the cost of severance. I'd love to see the SEC start going after publicly traded companies that make such obviously bullshit claims.

    The iPhone 16 will launch without headline AI feature

    AMD Releases Frame Latency Meter (FLM) Utility through GPUOpen

    Technically, it's measuring the time it takes between the mouse movement and when the frame is sent to the screen. The screen itself then introduces some amount of latency on top of that.

    NVIDIA GeForce "Blackwell" Won't Arrive Before January 2025?

    CES tends to be a truly terrible time to launch new products because every announcement gets lost in the noise of all of the small fish announcing launches. I'd be surprised if Nvidia chose to launch then. They might launch later in Q1, but it would be after the noise from CES has died down. A...

    10GbT Switch Recommendations

    They have a 28/32 port 10G L3 switch for $900. It's SFP+ so it would require some adapters that the Netgear unit does not. It does have the benefit that it could be managed via the same interface as the Ubiquiti router and AP though. Having to learn one less UI is one less headache to have to...

    10GbT Switch Recommendations

    Even used on eBay, that's double the price of the Ubiquiti switch. I'm also replacing my Synology RT6600ax with a UDM Pro Max as part of this upgrade. Synology's choice to cripple their router by giving it only a single port above 1Gbps is what inspired the full home network update.

    AMD MI300 is the fastest ramping product in its history

    I think Nvidia's 12th biggest customer places single orders that are bigger than AMD's entire data center business. So no RDNA 4 this year. Got it. This is the situation AMD is in. The same supply constraints that are holding back MI300 sales are also the only reason the MI300 sells in the...

    This is true when people actually care about quality. I'm not sure that's the case any more. Giving literally zero support has become normalized. 10% DOA rates are also becoming normalized. Expecting a product to actually work when brand new AND for it to be replaced if it doesn't is very...

    That's actually the same unit that I had fail on me, the AX1600i. The bootstrap circuit died, so it couldn't power on after it had been turned off. It's actually a pretty decent PSU. It is efficient and it is a full 20mm shorter length than the 1600W EVGA units. The difference means basically...

    Warning: EVGA has changed their pinout on some PSUs

    This is especially true when you consider that 90% of top tier PSUs are little more than whitelabeled selections from one of the two actual PSU manufacturers. It's not like EVGA and Corsair actually do any design work on their PSUs beyond the logo stickers and fancy boxes. This is actually a...
