Intel's 10nm on the desktop is still disappointingly far away.

FreeTibet wrote:Hey there I-K! You totally nailed it. By turning off background pagination (accessible only if you enter the options menu from within draft mode -- I didn't know that) I can enter footnotes at any part of my monster doc almost instantaneously. Wow. Double wow. This is finding not what I was looking for (new computer) but actually want (faster footnotes) for free. I'm going to share this with my colleagues immediately. I should mention we do all our translations bilingually in English and Tibetan, so we have to deal with this all the time. Thanks ever so much.
Even in a small nonprofit administration rules must be followed, so I'm back to rethinking my one-time-only, spend it or lose it $800 hardware budget. Future proofing is what I should keep in mind. I can go back to a 9600K. and think about a video card.
I'm still blown away by this great footnote fix.Thanks again.

AMD Ryzen2 chips work really well in office tasks and beat Intel in both price and performance.
