Given how much the cache size has increased vs the 30 series, I really don't think the memory bus being 192-bit matters at all. I don't see this as NVIDIA is being greedy by charging too much or inflating the specs of a x70 card to x80 status. To anyone who plans on boycotting the generation...

The performance gains from overclocking vs letting the boost algorithm automatically scale are negligible outside of benchmarking. The 12900k review actually saw performance slightly degrade with a 5GHz overclock vs stock. At this point when you buy a K chip, what you're actually paying for is...

I'm not saying AMD is screwing anyone. I'm saying releasing a halo product during a supply shortage is tone deaf. This SKU would be out of reach for the vast majority of consumers in regular times, and would serve as nothing but a way for AMD to pat themselves on the back for retaking the...

Nvidia just sold 17,000 founders edition cards through Bestbuy with an in-store only event; they opened the floodgates on Thursday morning (7:30am for me) with ~100 cards at select stores, and were out of stock by the weekend. My store had 30 people lined up at 8:00pm the night before, trying to...

Then you know the Transaction fee is just a bit south of 2% and the discount rate is $0.10/transaction. Apple charging 30% is in an entirely different league. And while I think Apple should be able to charge a fee, I can agree with Epic that the fee is unreasonable. If you're a company who makes...

Zen 1 was comparable with Haswell, so 2017 AMD was on par with 2013 Intel. Also it's quite an achievement since, as of 2020, Intel themselves has not developed an architecture that competes with what they deployed in 2015.

Google could have already had their foot in the door of this market (and possibly be a market leader) if they had stuck with Hangouts, or devoted the resources to focusing the company's efforts behind any of their abandoned chat platforms.

"RX 5600 XT with increased power envelope (160 W over 150 W)...The change in configuration brought about changes in the card design, with the higher-powered Red Devil coming in with 1x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin power delivery inputs, instead of the firstly developed 8-pin only." I don't understand why...

As someone who doesn't overclock, I love the fact that there's a company who will sell me a processor at a $20-$30 loss because it doesn't overclock well. As long as there are people who are willing to pay top dollar well beyond the point of diminishing returns, us bottom-feeders will be able to...

22 RDNA compute units should work out to be about 50% faster than a 570, or within spitting distance within a 1660 ti. AMD shouldn't need a 5600 series to round out their mid-range.

"While the U.S. Small Business Association celebrates Small Business Week the first month in May, Dell has decided to celebrate small businesses with hot deals that will last all month long " Could someone fill me in on what the second month in May is?

So Microsoft is planning on supporting Office 2016 after ending support for Office 2019?

Do you honestly expect me to accept this article as my Daily Vega Rumor? I've been coming here because I know you've got the good stuff. Quit cutting my Vega with this Raven Ridge junk! I need clockspeeds, GTX comparisons, release dates, sku configurations. You try passing this APU crap on...

I don't believe this move can be equated to Intel's lack of support with Kaby Lake chips. Ryzen requires a new motherboard, which could also entail new RAM. It's a significant upgrade. But for people who invested in an i3 Skylake and are looking for a drop-in replacement with an i7 Kaby, the...
