Excellent point and Arrow Lake suffers badly from platform immaturity. I have still not upgraded my stock Z890 BIOS because no one is certain that all issues have been fixed and Gigabyte, well, it's joked that their BIOS never leave beta status.

Without doing extensive data mining (and not sure how legal that would be), here's one example: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/14827623 I'm on the side of the little guy. I want computing to be affordable because any computer user, be it productivity focused or gaming focused, is...

My guess is that LGA1851 has extra pins for the NPU while LGA1954 maybe needs extra pins for supporting dual tile based CPUs?

Them being Chinese owned, anything is possible.

It's pretty easy to predict that they will start citing that as the number one reason to go Intel. "Hey, if the refresh disappoints, we can just wait for the tock hitting in the 3rd year of the platform and get our money's worth of investing into this platform. Intel is awesome like that!" :D

I forgot to include Prince of Persia 1 and 2. Though I didn't really play them as much as most other games because they were too hard and "clunky" where it was easy to get killed if you didn't time the jumps right and the sword fighting also wasn't very fluid. I don't think I was able to finish...

The HDD is the real surprise for me. What are people suddenly in need of massive storage for?

Here's my list: Jill of the Jungle Commander Keen Dangerous Dave Broderbund Software's Stunts Duke Nukem 2D Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny Lotus car racing game (it had cool music) Highway Hunter (also cool music) Many, many Sierra Interactive games X-Wing Tie Fighter Day of the Tentacle...

I just saw this in my inbox. Explain away!

This guy found an amazing chip: https://forums.thefpsreview.com/threads/whats-the-highest-ram-speed-lowest-timings-your-zen-5-chip-can-do.19041/post-98928 Remember, Det0x had a sample that did 6 GHz on at least one core. If AMD technology could have been refined at Intel fabs (highest...

Unicorn 9950X3D doing 8800 MT/s on a 4 dimmer mobo! https://www.overclock.net/posts/29524407/ Even if it is unable to finish the test, it's a miracle it even booted! This is my highest RAM overclock I managed...

That is SOOOO true. I haven't seen a company as big as Intel shooting itself in the foot so much, like every chance it gets and still stay alive. It's amazing, miraculous, mind boggling and extremely annoying all at the same time. Had they taken performance seriously, Apple would just still be...

Not happening for Arrow Lake Refresh. They only had Adamantine cache which they cancelled because it was either too expensive or failed to meet their expectations. Even with Nova Lake, they will make CPUs with large cache a very premium product. No cheaper options for peasants like 7600X3D or...
