JBI, the good news is that a lot of older MLC drives are still available on the market for essentially the same price as the new crappy RAM-less TLC drives. For as long as that's still the case it's possible to get more for your money. Inherent unsustainability is unhappy-making, though, and it's g...

The chances of an SSD crapping out in normal usage scenarios still seem monumentally slim even with the worse endurance. I'll worry about it when I have a reason to. My only dead SSD so far is the one that had physical damage to the connector. For a number of drives in the units or even low tens th...

Yeah but are not those CPUs or SoC EOL at this point? AFAIK Intel quit using PowerVR IP in their products.

Lincroft and Silverthorne, yes, but I don't believe Cedarview is.

Geez whiz even though I want a cheap six or eight core system, with of these problems Ryzen is having with Linux I think I would stick with Intel if I was building a new rig. Intel may cost an arm and leg but at least Linux is fully supported and just works. New processors hardware components are s...

Anyone else still playing this? I've been playing a few rounds of multiplayer a couple of times a week, still great fun though lately the other players aren't high level ... and then tonight I fired up Steam and found it needs a 34.7 GB download :-? Apparently , everyone who didn't pay gets the DLC ...

Ah, Hardware.fr says "Pénurie sur le Pentium G4560" ("Shortage of the Pentium G4560") which DigiWorthy translates as "Intel could Limit production of Pentium G4560 to boost Core i3 sales" which TechPowerUp translates as "Intel Pentium G4560 Cannibalizing Core i3 Sa...

In the RH world, I'd expect Fedora 26 Beta might be okay but RHEL and derivatives not so much. Is there a CentOS 7.4 beta branch you can try?

Has anyone played the new-ish Wolfenstein games? New Order or Old Blood. Are either worth checking out. If you had to pick one, which is better?

TNO > TOB, IMO, and it's twice as long a game.

Lol. Though surely the set of non-users of Microsoft Office is made up of the probably less worm-riddled?

I haven't even seen anyone use PowerPoint since I was in highschool 13 years ago. What rock are you living under? PP is useless crap, but any sizable business or organization of note has (too many) meetings with slides. Some of them tried to curb or even ban it, but its an incurable disease. This. ...

Do you understand the way your software splits (or not) the client requests, i.e. can you say "if a section A of the output CSV looks like X, then I can break it up by (move this here, that there) to make that section look the same as section B" and/or "if it looks like Y, I leave it ...

I thought only the R5 230 version was supported and the HD 5450 version wasn't (same chip I know). Haven't checked physically installing it in a while, but the 5450 is supported on that version of Windows. Links are below, but it's >= [HD 5000, Tesla, Ivy Bridge, Bay Trail] for Windows 10 if you wa...

Well Newegg has a bunch of refurbs that will fit the bill for under $15, but otherwise 2D duty is filled by $25-30 cards like the old Terascale (pre-GCN) Radeons and decade-old Geforce 8400GS models that refuse to die. Sound advice; sticking to the Radeon HD 5000 series TeraScale cards (rather than...

Oh, Intel docs ... so, so bad

Topinio

I would disagree to a certain extent. The 18 core i9 is a response to Thread Ripper. Intel most certainly had that die in the wings for the server market under the Xeon name. However, the consumer version is very much a reaction to Thread Ripper. I strongly suspect that back in March Intel had zero...

Topinio

I can't justify the cost of an entire new platform just to double my core count, but I sure do want a 7920X. AMD's going to lose sales to that one. Possibly, but I doubt there are many people who would actually have bought an AMD ThreadRipper who will decide to flip for the $1.2k Intel chip. Core i...

It's too bad they didn't follow the Poweredge naming scheme - you could know at a glance if it was AMD or Intel just by looking at the last digit (5 for AMD, 0 for Intel). Or the OptiPlex 740 and 745. Which were the other way round. But maybe they did? All those current Inspiron AMD models end in 5...

Looks like Dell has seen the light and have made some Ryzen machines, namely an 8-core 27-inch AIO: http://www.anandtech.com/show/11455/dell-launches-inspiron-27-7775-aio-ryzen-7-rx-580 and an "inspiron" desktop: https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/dell-computex-inspiron-amd-ryzen/ Ha...

Damn, I knew being forced to build for myself last summer rather than the planned refresh this summer/autumn was a Bad Thing, but ... damn.

In the server market though, AMD have the potential to murder Intel. Here's hoping they don't f*** it up! Kinda, for general servers though not in the HPC market. Has to get past the gatekeepers at Dell &c first, though :( I'd also like to see the full set of model-specific operating frequencie...

USB BC is up to 1.8 A and USB PD is up to 5.0, I think.

This would fit the bill if it had the LP bracket, which it doesn't seem to, and if AMD had a driver for Windows 8.1, which it doesn't ATM . Poor show all round, really. Can't find wide availability, but Alternate seems to have it available for delivery in a bit under 2 weeks to Germany , and a bit ...

The RX560 should have a few more compute units, althgough the AMD specs says a maximum of 1024 stream processors instead of just specifying this as a fixed number Not that I can see.

If Ryzen's OoO unit was optimizing a piece of code from a popular game and made it run 10FPS faster, everyone would be cheering quite loudly. Great, you just gave AMD an idea. Now we're going to start getting 400MB CPU driver installers with optimization code paths. :lol: Not sure that'd be a terri...

I guess they're just fulfilling contractual obligations at this point. I guess so. Guess HPE is too, and someone there post-split found the contract with Intel that said Itanium lives until 2017 ... this is not even really Kittson, AFAICT it's Poulson rebadged. I'd guess the contract said Intel wil...

After 10 years (at least) on the roadmaps, it has finally shipped.
