    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU Review

    also..... if I'm 1440p or even the dreaded 4k, does it really matter with a 4070? I know WHY you run benches at 1080 to show what the cpu can do, but I don't play at 1080. If I'm GPU limited then the CPU kinda doesn't matter coming from a 5700x, right?

    I'm all for gpu competition but let's see how the drivers play out. Not that I'm looking to replace my 4070 with this, but then again I spent twice as much as these cost.

    PlayStation Veteran Shuhei Yoshida Is Retiring from Sony Interactive Entertainment After 31 Years

    That is a lot of years. 31 years ago I was still working for like $7 an hour and happy to be getting it. Also the Bennigans across the street had 99 cent drafts and $2 appetizers after work every night, so those were good times? I spent some years drinking cold draft beer and cheap wings +...

    Steam Deck OLED: Limited Edition White Launches Worldwide Next Week for $679

    I miss my Vita, I never should have sold it. But the mortgage was due, the money was tight, and I had too many toys laying around. Sold all kinds of stuff I wish I still had. I can also kick myself for selling my steering wheel rig and my hotas stick.

    I used to have a little tablet device that ran Win 10 ARM edition, it was kinda cool but I had all kinds of app compatibility issues. Forget any kind of mainstream gaming etc. But just for a desktop and browser, eh? OTOH if that's all that's needed there are a million linux options

    Anyone using Windows 10/11 LTSC?

    Planning my eventual upgrade, it seems like LTSC might be a good option since it cuts out a ton of bloat and all the AI/Copilot crap. Anyone have experience with it? Also it seems I can't use a regular Win 11 grey market key with it, I would have to buy a regular license which is likely around...

    “I Can’t Afford It”: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Will Cost Anywhere from $2K to $2.5K, Leaker Says

    Yup $500 is my price limit, and no more than 4-5 years. I am not someone who buys a new GPU (or even CPU) every year or 2, who is?
