    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Review

    It would appear that placing the 3D cache on the bottom is allowing it to boost closer to it's full potential. This is good news. Now I can only hope even more than the 9950X has dual 3D cache on both of it's CCDs.

    The rewind button for Chessmaster on the NES is how I learned to play Chess (and beat the computer everytime)

    GIGABYTE Says Its X3D Turbo Mode Allows Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs to Achieve Similar Gaming Performance as Their X3D Versions

    That might be true, Im just saying all this thing does is disable the CCD without the 3D cache.

    GIGABYTE Says Its X3D Turbo Mode Allows Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs to Achieve Similar Gaming Performance as Their X3D Versions

    Pretty sure all this does is disable one of the CCD's in a dual CCD setup. So the CPU acts as a single CCD setup. For the X3D SKU's it disables the non-X3D CCD and only activates the X3D one. Thus the game/app doesn't have to worry about using the CCD without the L3 3D cache. This helps increase...

    FPS FIX

    Yellow light and 1 long, 2 short beeps are RAM errors. Either you have bad RAM or bad DIMMs. Try one stick of each one of the RAM at a time. See if it's possible to boot with a single stick of each one. If one of them fail, then you know that's a bad stick. Could be more than one. RAM...

    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Gaming Processor Officially Announced Including Complete Specifications and Pricing

    Yeah it's going to be a real shame if the 5090 is priced for the rich. The way things are looking my new build is probably going to be either a 9950X3D (If dual 3D cache on both CCDs) or 9950X and probably a 4090 since I wont be paying Nvidia tax for a 5090.

    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Gaming Processor Officially Announced Including Complete Specifications and Pricing

    For the 9800X3D you don't need anything fancy. It's a single CCD with a single CCX. So all cores/threads will have access to the same L3. Scheduling only gets tricky with processors that have more than one CCD or more than one CCX per CCD. Those are generally the x900 series of processors from...

    Apple Unveils New iMac with M4 Chip as Users Wonder Why Latest Magic Mouse Has USB-C Port on the Bottom

    So far mine has held up and I use my mouse/computer for hours a day every day. I can't remember exactly when I bought it, but it was earlier this year. The mousepad has replacement "pads" that you can swap out while keeping the wireless base station. Haven't had to worry about that yet either.

    AMD 9800X3D Has an Unlocked Multiplier According to Leaked Specs and a New Rumor Suggests That Its 3D V-Cache Is Layered Under the CCD

    I have shell scripts that taskset pins tasks to specific cores and CCDs so cross CCD communication over the infinity fabric doesn't occur. It's the same "problem" for all AMD Ryzen, EPYC and Thread ripper lineups with more than 1 CCD and/or more than one CCX within a CCD.

    I don't care where they put it. Just give me two of them on the 9950X3D. Please, AMD. I beg you.

    Apple Unveils New iMac with M4 Chip as Users Wonder Why Latest Magic Mouse Has USB-C Port on the Bottom

    I love the new Logitech system. The mousepad wirelessly charges my mouse. I've been using it for ~6 months now and haven't had to charge my mouse once. It just keeps it charged as long as I keep it on the mouse pad.

    Yes its similar to GIMP/Prime95. Yes, if you run PG your results get submitted automatically to the Top 5k Primes. If you enter your real name, you'll get your real name credited for finding it as well. Curiosity with numbers this large.
