    Get some actual use out of that iGPU!

    Hard to believe how well this works. Might be useful for those with ARC iGPUs and AMD/Nvidia dGPUs if those combinations work just as well.

    Cinebench 2026

    https://www.maxon.net/en/downloads/cinebench-downloads Anyone want to volunteer? I don't want to risk burning out my 9950X3D on the ASROCK mobo. The 245KF score will be underwhelming so not worth trying for me. EDIT: Much faster download mirror...

    Pre-Arrow Lake Xe iGPUs abandoned by Intel

    https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000101986/graphics.html Most concerning impact? NO MORE future games support! Maybe they need to opensource the driver so the community can take over. This new CEO is being hopelessly reckless as some had feared. But then, he's too old...

    How to easily use SAS drives on a consumer mobo?

    @Skillz I'm hoping you know the answer to my burning question. I have the opportunity to get a bunch of cheap SAS SSDs but I have zero idea on how to get them working. Any good suggestions for the required (and affordable) HBA card and cables and how to power the drives since the SAS connector...

    https://videocardz.com/newz/maxsun-icraft-x870m-board-teases-support-for-future-next-generation-ryzen-cpus-and-up-to-400w-support Looks like Zen 6 24C/48T part may need new mobo to run with full steam.

    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...
