Yeah, but can it make the next Cysis game?

Yeah the 3-core type strategy has me a little concerned, but between what's in my laptop and the ones I picked for our office, I've witnessed some impressive things with its predecessors. Still not as good as an X3D chip, but not horrible either. I still miss the older, more traditional...

I basically went from Atari DOS (1>2>3>3.5) to MS-DOS, and then to Windows 95, since I stopped using PCs for a bit in between, and have used almost every version since. The two I most loathed were Vista and 8, but I mainly upgraded to them for DX API stuff and just worked through any issues I...

I agree. I've been pissed at them for over a decade for some fairly half-arsed desktop releases, but I'm hoping lessons have been learned and the folks that are there now will have a true chance at succeeding. I'm still very skeptical but hoping for the best.

Not going to lie, there's got to be a pretty specific use-case scenario for this. Put it in a gaimg rig and that heat is adding to everything else, which also means the silent aspect is defeated since either CPU or GPU is going to have to deal with it, and one of those is likely to make some noise.

Intel is preparing to pounce with its upcoming Panther Lake series of processors and will officially launch at CES 2026. See full article...

It's rumored that Seasonic is working on a passively cooled 1000W PSU to add to its Prime Fanless TX lineup, which could debut at CES 2026. See full article...

Move along now, nothing to see here. ;)

I swear, the facepalms never end. https://www.techpowerup.com/343149/microsoft-will-preload-windows-11-file-explorer-to-fix-bad-performance

Yeah, that's a much better explanation of the feature as when I read, and included some of in this post about, I wasn't very clear on how it worked.

Forty years ago, Microsoft joined the GUI party, which included rivals Apple, Atari, and Commodore, by offering Windows 1.0. It was the 1980s, and the console crash had just happened, but PCs had begun the move to the 16-bit era, ushering in new graphics and processor capabilities. At this...

There's no need to wait until the day after the big meal, and it's probably a good idea to take a look before they sell out. See full article...

I agree but media keeps bringing it up because of all those folks who chose not to upgrade.

Yeah, I was thinking about this last night how up until all this memory price hikes and stuff, how you could actually find decent laptops on Amazon for ~$800 which exceeded a lot of these specs but the one they didn't have was a better iGPU. After all is said and done the price will be the real...
