    This is how badly Intel screwed itself over

    Right now Intel is going to the government trough to sustain itself. And that trough is filled with TAA compliance, and security requirements, and NOT gaming performance... they will sustain themselves and get funding for more production from the US government, even if we have to invade...

    ASUS Prepares to NUC the Steam Machine with a Mini PC Featuring a Panther Lake Processor and an Arc B390 GPU

    I wonder how this will compare to the similarly sized AMD based AI MAX boxes with 128 gig of ram on the SOC.

    AMD CES 2026 Announcements – 9850X3D/Ryzen AI 400/Ryzen AI Max+/Ryzen AI PRO

    Considering AMD's stance on dual 3d v cache CCD's in a system... unless they have really sped up the interconnect between them... I just fail to see the benefit over a 9950x3d... which I got... and bemoaned not having dual 3d v cache. Sigh....

    MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z Is Already Brewing Up a Storm Thanks to Its Two 12V-2×6 Connectors and 2,500 Watt XOC BIOS

    Lol, man I'll be really honest. If Nvidia had better native resolution performance as compared to my 7900xtx I would have moved to a 5080. And if I didn't have a boatlaod of medical bills to start the year out I might have even considered a 5090. So... yea. You have a point. EDIT: And...

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    See I've done the free flow combat in Pathfinder WOTR, but I prefer turn by turn to fully exploit capabilities especially of spellcasters. Otherwise they just spam the spell you've selected until they are out then go with whatever weapon they have equipped. Turn by turn feels more like JRPG...

    The BEAUTIFUL GPU connector that keeps on giving

    Sounds like an job for agentic AI. Monitor power from the PSU, check power on the cord per line, monitor power demand from the GPU, check for line flux or degradation. Take appropriate action to ensure system health and enjoyment by the end user. Each monitor is a different agent, oh and...

    AMD CES 2026 Announcements – 9850X3D/Ryzen AI 400/Ryzen AI Max+/Ryzen AI PRO

    This is because in the enterprise sector for non server compute, mobile compute rules the roost. I'd love to see Qualcom com and say... oh.. 40 tflops... that's cute. Here's 400 tflops for less power, with more ram, and better performance, and 2x the expected battery life from our SOC.

    MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z Is Already Brewing Up a Storm Thanks to Its Two 12V-2×6 Connectors and 2,500 Watt XOC BIOS

    Man talk about a halo product. You need two dedicated power supplies to feed that beast of a card and potentially a 3rd for the rest of the system. And maybe even commercial power to feed those! Yeesh... Im pretty confidant my home power wouldn't cut it without some creative solutions...

    Ah yes magneisum alloy.. when you absolutely positively want to have a laptop sized hole in your foundation because of a housefire.

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    Finishing pathfinder wrath of the righteous. Need to do another attempt at bg3. My attention span keeps getting diverted. (Loke for the above pathfinder game) and I loose track... feels daunting to try and pick it up again from where I left off.

    PC Hardware Manufacturers Answer as to Whether or Not Its Better to Use Bundled GPU Adapters or Native PSU 12V-2×6 Cables

    Would love to see you guys get your hands on one of these for some actual testing and failure testing to see how it works and what it does. Because I would be interested for sure.

    ASUS Debuts Pro WS B850M-ACE SE, a Multi-Use Motherboard Capable of Using AMD Ryzen or Epyc Processors with Server-Grade IPMI Management

    I find it interesting that the usb ports are not more.impressive and that the memory support is constrained to 256gb even for an epic cpu. Seems to me.thst other than remote management its actually lacking in serving a workstation compared to an actually hedt motherboard. No support for...
