    Microsoft is Back to its Old Ways—Links in Office Will Open in MS Edge Browser, Ignoring Browser Preference

    Diversification is different, that is horizontal integration. Vertical integration is when a company does everything in the supply chain. Intel doing processors end to end, including foundry, is vertical integration. Apple going from design to final product, including software and hardware is...

    Microsoft is Back to its Old Ways—Links in Office Will Open in MS Edge Browser, Ignoring Browser Preference

    Vertical integration should be banned from Capitalism. All companies should focus on their core business and leave others build other parts. What this means it that Microsoft should not be allowed to build a browser or office suite, or even games, if they want to build an OS. Once you have...

    AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Passively Cooled with Copper Blocks

    Its not, found one Kilo with the same Feinkupfer .999, marking as seen on the picture on ebay at 115 USD. If he has 4 kilos of copper and all is the same type it can be pretty expensive.

    Samsung RDNA2-based Exynos 2200 GPU Performance Significantly Worse than Snapdragon 8 Gen1, Both Power Galaxy S22 Ultra

    Wait for official reviews boyz. From the first picture I can see different scaling governor. That alone could influence significantly the performance.

    MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming X Trio

    It is already out of stock in major retailers around my location and the price was equivalent of 800 to 950 EUR, depending on the model :) Lol, there is no need for scalpers anymore legit retails can scalp as well.

    ASUS USB-C2500 Provides a Handy, Tool-free 2.5GbE Upgrade

    I don't think it will work for NAS though. Usually the USB ports on NAS are there to attach additional hard-drives, so used for input and not output.

    Tachyum Prodigy Software Emulation Systems Now Available for Pre-Order

    They've trademarked TPU :( (Tachyum Processing Unit) If this is true it is amazing, these guys behave as if intel and amd where sleeping for the last decade, however seeing what apple did with m1, this might actually be the case. In the end any new competition is great, for the end users, but I...

    128-Core 2P AMD EPYC "Milan" System Benchmarked in Cinebench R23, Outputs Insane Numbers

    This kind of tool is great indeed, however you need a version which is scalable for such high core count, otherwise you will get low cpu utilization and pretty useless results.

    128-Core 2P AMD EPYC "Milan" System Benchmarked in Cinebench R23, Outputs Insane Numbers

    It isn't very smart to test 2*128 threads with R23. Why? Because you need each thread to be able to work, or a high number of threads will be idle. I'm not sure how many tiles are there in R23 render scene but I would imagine the number to be quite low as it is not designed for such monsters...

    Scalping Locust Swarm Takes Out Ryzen 5000 Inventory, Same Fate Awaits Radeon RX 6000

    Why do you guys care so much about it? Its not like its a life and death situation to get an rtx3000 or a ryzen5000, now. If they would do that with the covid-19 vaccine, well, then whole NATO army should jump on them. But computer parts, let them scalp as much as they want. They have to move...

    RISC-V Comes to PC: SiFive Introduces HiFive Unmatched Development Board

    Its actually impressive that it progressed so much. DDR4, PCIE gen 3, m.2, very nice, and relatively modern technologies. Hopefully it will go much further than this, for real competition, open standards like Risk-V are very good. You see what happen in the ARM space, and ARM is not really...

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 PCI-Express Scaling

    Thats because they had a poll with their viewers, and 88% or so choose to benchmark 3080 with Ryzens. Which makes sense seing most budget conscious DIY users jumped to Ryzens.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 with AMD Ryzen 3900XT vs. Intel Core i9-10900K

    I would love to see more advanced graphics review than just plain average fps. In 2020, such reviews should include at the minimum, the minimum fps, but preferable frametime consistency graphs, even if this means testing with lower number of games. Nobody selling a kidney to buy such hardware...

    A Battle Royale for the Ages: Apple Announces Decision to Remove Unreal Engine from iOS and Mac Tools; Epic Games Responds With Another Lawsuit

    What if all developers will boycott apple, and leave them with the hardware and the OS only? If they did this to Epic, especially the engine which broke no rules, what would stop them to do the same to anybody else? They are abusing they monopolistic position on the app store. I don't see how...

    Xe-HPG is the Performance Gaming Graphics Architecture to Look Out for from Intel

    if they are 3, oligopoly, and there are 3 already, intel has the highest market share for graphics. Not performance graphics but still.
