    Rumor: AMD Zen 6 Processors Could Arrive in Configurations Ranging from 6 Up to 24 Cores

    That's something I'm considering but hoping I don't need to do. Between the undervolted 5090 settings I'm using, and 9800X3D, my current system TDP usually hangs around 300-500W during heavy gaming and I'm using an ITX 1000W 80+ Platinum but I've been keeping an eye on the 1200-1300 versions...

    Rumor: AMD Zen 6 Processors Could Arrive in Configurations Ranging from 6 Up to 24 Cores

    I'll be happy with a 16 core X3D part. Ought to be good enough for me to ride off into the sunset with as I can't imagine needing to replace something like that for around a decade and by that time I might not even care.

    The return of mGPU, app lets you use a 2nd GPU for framegen

    I'll never forget my one-time monster build back in the day and I've mentioned it here more than a few times in other threads. It had a GIGABYTE UD3 X79 (1.1)motherboard and 4930K that I got both for ~$400 during a BF deal. Neither the best for overclocking but managed to hit 4.3 GHz on air (I...

    The return of mGPU, app lets you use a 2nd GPU for framegen

    We did run a story about Lossless Scaling a while back, but I didn't see any mention in it about how it also supports using a 2nd GPU to offload certain tasks to. Definitely not SLI, but it reminds me more of the days when you could dedicate PhysX (when it still mattered) to a GPU. I saw this...

    Rumor: AMD Zen 6 Processors Could Arrive in Configurations Ranging from 6 Up to 24 Cores

    There's still no official word from AMD regarding its Zen 6 desktop lineup, so rumors continue to circulate suggesting a wide range of configurations. See full article...

    God of War News Updates: Original Trilogy Getting Remakes, Latest Game Causes Controversy, Christopher Judge Could Be Returning for Another

    I've always been in the middle with it. Never played the original trilogy but did finish the first that was set in Norse mythology and haven't gotten Ragnarok despite hearing many great things about it.

    NVIDIA Sells Off the Last of Its Stake in Arm, but Will Continue to Be a Customer and Partner to the Company It Once Tried to Buy Out

    I agree but this is also probably just the natural end to the cycle for this circumstance. I'm more curious how the selloff may have impacted Arm's share price. My bet is that NV is simply planning on a day when it won't need Arm's designs and no longer needs any investment or partnerships at...

    ASUS and Acer Are Now Banned from Selling PCs and Notebooks in Germany Following a Court Ruling Regarding H.265/HEVC NOKIA Patent

    Funny I was reminded they had been in the phone business this morning when watching an ad for something else and I spotted one in the ad.

    Phison CEO Claims DRAM/NAND Pricing and Supply Issues Will Lead to the End of Many System Integrators and Consumer Electronics Companies

    I'm nearing being on a fixed income, 10 years or less depending on how my health goes (nobody should worry, diet and exercise in play already, just tired though) and also wondering if I'm getting to the end of the line for a new rig. I purposely built my AM5 system so I can move up from the...

    MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z Is Already Brewing Up a Storm Thanks to Its Two 12V-2×6 Connectors and 2,500 Watt XOC BIOS

    Lol! I saw a story this morning where one of these literally shattered the GPU during testing. Admittedly didn't read it but saw the pic of the physically broken die.

    Phison CEO Claims DRAM/NAND Pricing and Supply Issues Will Lead to the End of Many System Integrators and Consumer Electronics Companies

    I have to wonder when it comes to any new hardware how much consideration a company will go through when weighing the idea of trying to launch in 2026. Should they hold off or risk investing in producing products which might completely flop due to prices being so high nobody will buy them? For...

    Phison CEO Claims DRAM/NAND Pricing and Supply Issues Will Lead to the End of Many System Integrators and Consumer Electronics Companies

    Totally agree, except who knows what price it will be at given the same problems with the memory shortage. Not sure how many are going to be willing to pay $1K plus for such a device and I really doubt it'll be any cheaper with whats going on. We're already starting to see gaming handhelds...

    ASUS and Acer Are Now Banned from Selling PCs and Notebooks in Germany Following a Court Ruling Regarding H.265/HEVC NOKIA Patent

    I recommend folks click on the link I put in the post going to Nokia's page regarding it's licensing. Basically the Nokia most of us know (cameras and copiers - they still make those) has transformed itself over the last 20 years and heavily expanded into video codecs. I had no clue until this...
