    This is how badly Intel screwed itself over

    Except I think retooling the existing fabs for RAM production is no small task unfortunately. It's one reason why Samsung's chip yields are abysmal yet they are doing fine with RAM production. I've been told by people more informed than I that Andy Grove (?) famously saved Intel by getting them...

    After Nearly $1 Billion in Crowdfunding and 13 Years in Development, Star Citizen Is Nearly, Nah, Who’re We Kidding, It’s Never Going to Happen

    If they fix it, the money stops coming eventually. If they don't, they can keep promising a better tomorrow and stay in business.

    After Nearly $1 Billion in Crowdfunding and 13 Years in Development, Star Citizen Is Nearly, Nah, Who’re We Kidding, It’s Never Going to Happen

    I just checked. He's Gemini. Creative people always cooking up multiple schemes in their minds. You could say he's the trump of gaming because trump is also a Gemini. And ummm...no offense to any Gemini here but it is what it is. You guys just wanna do too much all at once.

    This is how badly Intel screwed itself over

    All Intel had to do was LISTEN to the consultants it had hired (according to Jim Keller) and change its fab tooling and PDKs to mimic the industry standard so companies failing to get allocation at TSMC could place their orders with Intel with minimum investment of time and effort. BUT NO. OH...

    Is this cooler design innovative or dumb? (Chinese KX-7000)

    That would be an interesting experiment to try :)

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    My PS3 Slim was destroyed by cockroaches, of all things (out of warranty obviously). Called up Sony and they were like, sure, we will fix it. Only around $200! I simply cursed the cockroaches and killed them with a vengeance from then on. And that's how I wasn't able to finish Catherine. I was...

    Three most popular hardware items on Newegg (all three may surprise you!) on Nov 02, 2025

    Seems suspiciously affordable for a 96GB workstation GPU. I thought these were going for $10K.

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    If we take loserbench data without a grain of salt (yeah, I know!), the 9800X3D to 285K sale ratio is a staggering 28 to 1 (!!!). Other data: The crazy outliers seem to be: One must ask, how many of these users are on their 2nd or 3rd or even nth Raptor chip???

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    Don't get me wrong. I want the same to happen too but it's Intel that has made it extremely difficult for themselves for a half decent resurgence of their former glory.

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    I can "feel" the jealousy written all over that! So vote Intel and it's not favoritism but paying AMD more for X3D is "supporting" the billion dollar brand (AMD, the billion dollar gorilla! WOW!) and apparently, people need "convincing" by AMD fanboys to buy AMD CPUs :D Good old loserbench :D
