    AMD Expands Its Ryzen PRO Lineup with the Addition of Six New Processors, Including Another 16-Core X3D Model

    More choice is usually good - till it leads to the 'Paradox of Choice,' or 'Decision Paralysis.' It's starting to get like the toothpaste aisle at Target/Walmart. Unless you have an attachment to a brand or the lowest price too much in options. Or perhaps not, I dont know, just speculation...

    Early Game Testing of Intel Arc Pro B720 Workstation AI GPU Shows Comparable Performance to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti

    Sadly, price aside, the message I am getting is Intel was making good progress in improving their GPU's. With 16/24gb of vram the price would go down some. Within the next generation or three I think they could have climbed up to the near top tier space. Maybe not the Big Green money sucking...

    Intel Has Seemingly Bowed Out of the Consumer Discrete Graphics Market, for Now

    Disappointing - no doubt the rampocalypse is playing its part.

    NVIDIA Is Now Rumored to Expand its 9 GB Memory Configuration Strategy With RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs

    I guess it depends how well the texture compression is going to function - I dont doubt it works, but is it fast enough type stuff. It is better to have 12gb I think than 8/9. I was reading NV is stating 80% compression. So functionally almost doubling the frame buffer? I suspect not everything...

    NVIDIA Is Now Rumored to Expand its 9 GB Memory Configuration Strategy With RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs

    I guess, bottom line, if it works it works - more a 1080/1440 thing?

    NVIDIA Is Now Rumored to Expand its 9 GB Memory Configuration Strategy With RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs

    One more gb of vram makes big difference? Even with compression - how good is it? How fast?

    Geekbench Flags Intel iBOT Results as Potentially Invalid, Investigation Finds Vectorized Instructions Behind 30% Gains

    Does this tool permanently alter the code of your installed apps? How does that work with later patching and the like?

    Microsoft’s April 2026 Windows Update Ends Trust for Cross-Signed Kernel Drivers

    I am just wondering to myself what is going to stop working at random and how it'll take days (or never) to get it fixed.

    Microsoft Standardizes Shader Execution Reordering in DirectX: Intel Arc Sees Up to 90% Ray Tracing Boost

    I am sure there are (probably good, or perhaps just valid) reasons and why's, for the ne SER. Sadly my little curiosity will never be satisfied. :(

    Intel Arc Pro B70 Launch Could Be Imminent Now That It’s Been Listed on an Intel Support Page

    Hopefully not $3k+. I do want this to be a good & strong product for gaming and whatever else.

    Rumor: AMD Zen 6 Processors Could Arrive in Configurations Ranging from 6 Up to 24 Cores

    For many tasks sure. HEDT type stuff, heavy rendering, etc. Not for everything, in particular gaming. That's why the bios in this, and my last motherboard, has an option to turn off the second CCD either automatically when gaming or full time. (I dont bother though I have tested it out) Of...

    Rumor: AMD Zen 6 Processors Could Arrive in Configurations Ranging from 6 Up to 24 Cores

    Wont having more cores gum up the works, so to speak? Maybe some of the cores get to 6ghz but how many really? I am also wondering about cache issues like coherence and when threads jump cores. After all more cores more places and ways to jump. Of course if AMD has a better/newer way to...

    Phison CEO Claims DRAM/NAND Pricing and Supply Issues Will Lead to the End of Many System Integrators and Consumer Electronics Companies

    Is this my last high end system? I'm on a fixed income now, doesn't sound like I'll be able to afford upgrades much ever again..... Oh the Pain, the pain...

    Build choice - am4 with more ram or am5 with less?

    Lets hope 128gb is enough - ddr5 is too expensive these days. Even 4*16 is $500+ How important is memory speed?

    Build choice - am4 with more ram or am5 with less?

    Just upgraded mu Mobo/CPU. Now I am looking to build a second system from older parts to run an LLM and maybe even be that Linux box I've wanted to learn with. I'll need to pick up an NVME drive and maybe a PSU - have everything else. The question and for which I am asking advise: I have an...

    A Troubling Trend Is Growing as PC Hardware Manufacturers Cancel Orders Only to Repost the Same Product at a Higher Price

    I've had a few Zotac GPU's and they always worked well with no problems.

    ASUS Advises Users of AMD 800-Series Motherboards to Update BIOS as It Investigates Reports of Burnt Ryzen 7 9800X3D Processors

    I just upgraded, still need to fix my sig. Asus 870e strix gaming wifi with 9950x3d. Wondering how worried I should be? No new bios for my board as of yesterday when I looked. Or is only 2 months old considered new?
