    Intel and Windows 11 Deprecating SGX Breaks 4K Blu-ray Playback

    Hey, I'm seemingly the first here to have a bluray 4K player for my laptop (external).

    Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered Releasing November 6th

    NFSHP2 to Undercover have been done with the same engine ("speed' engine) from blackbox, and they fired almost everyone from blackbox.

    NVIDIA Quietly Refreshes Mobile GeForce RTX Graphics Cards

    in fact, you also got 80w RTX 2060 (got one on my GF65 builded in february) And it's really annoying as the CPU power throttle passed 1600MHz@750mv

    After contacting nvidia on developpers forum, they will firstly ship "modules only" so no thermal solution, no devkit of base board. no Pcie 4.0, no SATA, no 256bit memory Bus, but still looks like a good value. For the 2/4/6 cores, 10w operates at 2 and 4 cores where 15w mode enables 6 core...

    ASUS Intros GeForce RTX 2070 Turbo EVO Graphics Card, Ditches VirtualLink

    Probably same as RTX 2070 Turbo,got one, good, not as Founders (Blower noise if you want efficient cooling and not A chip) but OK, changed the blower for an Arctic TwinTurbo II and got silence and good framerate at the same time, a good card if you can get (or already have) a compatible...

    Intel Releases CPU Benchmarks with Meltdown and Spectre Mitigations

    Seriously, only i7 with HT to mask single threads impact on performance (Remember intel Using HT on Atom 230/33 to reduce the impact of In Order architecture and the lack of branch prediction ...) Curious to see the results on a i5 or HT disabled i3 and i7 IMHO, HT is their trick, look at...
