Huge win for MS. This is where the big money is. I must say, Azure is slick, especially for companies already using predominantly MS servers and software - it’s an easy transition for them.

You may be right there. The bean counters at EA would have done the sums and realised they would capture much more of the market for their older games by distributing them via Steam long after they’ve become stagnant of Origin.

Although Wccftech news can only be taken with a grain of salt, this is looking exciting for the future of high performance CPUs. AMD is definitely bringing the competition to Intel at the top end.

I'm in Australia and a few months back I ordered 120 Dell PCs for my organisation running i5 8400 chips. Dell told me there might be a delay in delivery, and when I asked why, the CPU shortage excuse was used. As it turned out, there was no real delay and the machines were delivered within...

All part of a grand plan I speculate. VII did always feel like just a stop-gap for consumers while they were finalising Navi production. RX 5800 and 5900 cards to be announced soon perhaps?

I never had one of the FX 5xxx cards; I bought a PowerColor Radeon 9600 XT in that era instead which was a very nice mid range card for the time. Once Unreal Tournament 2004 and Doom 3 came out though, I upgraded to a passively cooled (!) Gigabyte Geforce 6600GT. Man that thing was a serious...

Of course someone has to be an early adopter, but this is why I always prefer to wait at least a couple of months to make sure everything is ironed out before buying stuff.

Great article. I have always been an advocate for keeping a socket for as long as possible across CPU generations iterations. I've never really considered the downside to this though and the engineering time burnt just to ensure new CPUs are going to be compatible with sockets that weren't...

RX 580 at the moment, but will seriously be looking at one of the custom cooled RX 5700 cards as an upgrade later in the year though.

Kubuntu

Kdenlive has been my go-to for years now. A very impressive software package and being a part of the KDE project, it is well maintained.

That's pretty much where I've landed too. It's been a long road though - after ditching Windows at the start of the decade for my daily computing, I began using Linux Mint KDE. This is when it was still KDE 4. Then I went openSUSE after a little while when I began to venture out. This was...

Do you think there is any room for a "Project Logs" section? I've been posting a few of my recent PC projects over on the TPU forums under the same name, and I think that might go well here as well to show off some community creativity. I'm currently stripping down and repainting an old Dell...

My fondest memories of a motherboard is from the first one I ever bought for my very first custom rig, the Abit IS7 using the i865PE chipset back at the end of 2003. I remember being able to overclock my 2.6GHz Northwood Pentium 4 all the way up to 3.25GHz by pushing the FSB up to 250MHz from...

Looking at the screenshot, I actually like the simple version better. Functionality over all else is all that should be required of this environment.
