Andrew Luck retired, and I can't even link to ESPN because the entire website crashed around the same time. https://www.profootballrumors.com/2019/08/andrew-luck-retiring-from-nfl Good news AMD fanboys! In honor of this stunning announcement, we here at Intel are canceling next year's GPUs. #IntelCa...
We here at Intel shill-central just want to let everyone know those unsubstantiated rumors of Icelake launching are just part of a clever ruse to troll Apple! Please ignore any articles that purport to show fully operational systems running benchmarks! We promise that Icelake is still on track for c...
For all the people whining that Intel's numbers are down a bit year over year, let's take a look at the competition (and no, I don't mean AMD): Here's Samsung: Profits off 56%. Poor Intel not running a bunch of smartphones can't match that 56% profit crater: https://www.zdnet.com/article/samsung-q2...
Where did this link-jacking occur? For some reason, I can't find it. And I'm not using any "protection". Look at today's shortbread (https://techreport.com/news/3463979/national-system-administrator-appreciation-day-shortbread/) It occurs in more than one post including "Star Wars&qu...
OK, this might even deserve its own thread, but my posts are being hijacked by "Viglink" auto-inserting spam URLs when certain keywords are typed into a post.
NOT COOL
I understand you need to pay the bills, but this is getting to be too much.

Intel's panicked response to Ryzen 2 is to beat the revenue and profit expectations and to revise the rest of 2019 upward from its earlier projections: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/intel-q2-2019-beats-analyst-expectations-with-boost-in-revenue-sale-of-modem-unit-to-a...
Same here - dropped a 3900X into an X570 Gaming X and it booted first time We're cancelling another product in the face of that kind of performance! Given that I managed to spill water on the board in the removal of my waterblock...I was pretty happy with it (I dried it out, obviously). :) I'm seei...
Ice Lake desperately needs to come this year. This Comet Lake nonsense would be a HUGE hit to Intel. Just stretching out the same old tired architecture and same old tired process node for one more year. Pathetic. Ice Lake is promising. Oh please. Ice Lake is just an elaborate practical joke that w...

So this is so great! Radeon VII -- being the fastest selling card in AMD freakin' history since its glorious launch on February 7 -- is getting to go to an ELO concert! Lisa Su sure is a Sweet Talkin' Woman to move so many units in such a short time! Just look at all the articles that proudly announ...
Sounds like an Itanium style chip. If it ever sees the light of day I'll be shocked...and more shocked if it's remotely good. It's half Itanium and half trying to use old GPU-like compute units (think pre-GCN Radeons before AMD adopted superscalar units) to implement a general purpose processor. Th...
EPYC news everyone! There's a 64 coar miracle chip that will put Intel out of business! THANKS AMD!! WRONG! Notice I said "chip" not "truckload of chiplets vomited from a pick-n-placer". THANKS APPLE/ARM MIRACLE CHIP! WRONG! This ain't no iPhone. No you paid corporate shills! I'm...
Notice how chucky's first post after the Ryzen 3000 launch is three days late and just a bunch of trolling and personal attacks, rambling on about products that don't even address a market AMD competes in. Who hurt you? Tell ya what, when Intel comes out with a "next generation" 8-core pa...
Notice how chucky's first post after the Ryzen 3000 launch is three days late and just a bunch of trolling and personal attacks, rambling on about products that don't even address a market AMD competes in. I do enjoy the backpedaling in the edit of his post as well. What backpedaling exactly? The p...
You seem to read a lot more into things than people are actually saying. You should look into that. A simple: I knew you were correct and shouldn't have been dishonest in a public forum would have been a little classier. Personal advice: If you really do have access to all these "magic NDAs&qu...
Shall we count the ways these photos are phony? If you think the photo is a fake, please take it up with Dave Schor of Wikichip since this is from his official Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/david_schor/status/1148629786576617472 Oh yeah, and debunk this as completely fake too: https://fuse.wiki...
A movie that should be required viewing for anybody is The Longest Day about the D-day landings in Normandy. The first act of the film places a great deal of emphasis on the dicey weather conditions and while the Germans knew that there was going to be an invasion somewhere, someday, it was not goin...
Hey Waco, you know that HBM2-equipped Ice Lake Xeon that can't possibly exist because you don't want it to? Yeah, here's a picture of it from an official Intel Event: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48246028127_efca332995_b.jpg Except that it's a multi-die configuration so EACH DIE gets 4-channe...

btw, Chuck -- I just ran a little comparison of my Threadripper system to my 2014 iMac (4 GHz 4790K)... unless I'm doing something stupid (which we all know is highly likely), this comparison of a 2018 Threadripper to a 2014 Haswell should make you very happy. It makes me wonder if the R packages I...
Point 1: Oh so you were running "numad" in the background? NICE TRY making us all run in circles while you pulled strings in the background ;-) Point 2: On your performance "clustering" issue, there are plenty of possible culprits but here's a simple setting that might help: Make...
At least they got efficient enough to not require arson to get the job done! Interestingly enough, it's not that 6 exabytes of flash are lost if your factory shuts down for 13 minutes. It's that they need to take the entire facility down for a very long period of time when they lose power and the en...
Ugh -- i spoke too soon. I'm using glances to monitor things, and I found some documentation that you can see info about core affinity for the top process by pressing 'e'. For a while, it was fine -- the top process was pinned to a single core. But just now, the pin broke and the top process is ass...
