I did a bunch of system build roundups

I'm more and more impressed with what Intel has done with XeSS.

Intel Core Ultra 200V Series Processor Specs Intel is launching and has detailed the new Intel Core Ultra 200V series processors, which are claimed to offer outstanding AI performance, compatibility, and power efficiency at scale for leading laptop manufacturers. The Intel Core Ultra 200V Series...

Matrox was 'the best' but ATI also had great 2D, whereas Matrox had no great 3D capability, with the Xpert@Play and Xpert@Work ATI had 2D that rivaled Matrox, and they had a good 3D accelerator with the ATI Rage chip. Well, good in D3D, but OGL suffered, so that's why you paired it also with a...

You'll have to pry Windows 10 from my cold dead hands.

Just what I need, my lights to dim even more when I play a game. I guess it's fine, to play in the dark.

Instead of the Riva TNT or TNT2 I went with ATI Radeon Xpert@Play 4MB video card, which had 2D and 3D (but horrible OGL), so I paired it with a Diamond Monster Voodoo2 12MB, and it was THE BEST COMBO, best 2D quality and video, and best 3D performance with Glide. You couldn't beat that combo.

My only thought is that they don't have enough supply to make it an official launch to everyone, so they just do it with MC to get rid of excess stock, maybe lower-binned dies they need to get rid of. But I wish they would launch it launch it. Oh well

Did you know that I worked on Sharky Extreme for a brief time, yeah, nobody remembers that, but pepperidge farm remembers

Introduction The Intel Microcode 0x129 BIOS fix has now been released to motherboard manufacturers, and motherboard manufacturers have now released official non-Beta BIOS for many motherboards. We are going to apply the new Microcode Fix on our ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PRO WIFI motherboard, with our...

There's some discussion about security mitigations that were in place, that caused cache flushing on Zen architecture, and it was just overlooked, since the buffer sizes increased with zen 5, it treats it a little worse, so this update removes those mitigations since AMD put hardware mitigations...

Just keep in mind - This is a RYZEN performance update, NOT a Zen 5 performance update. Zen 3/4/5 affected. The scaling between generations doesn't change.

w00h00, I got the Deus Ex reference at

It has been tested now, this video is a must watch

Free performance is nice, but, this will also improve performance on zen 3, and 4. Therefore, this problem has existed for 4 years, and has been holding back CPU performance for 4 years, only to realize there's an issue now. What this won't change probably is the scaling still between Zen 4...

NICE, looking at it to consider adding to the gaming suite. Seems to be pretty graphically intense. If they have this benchmark, I wonder if they'll have a benchmark in-game at all.
