HBM is no advantage. Look how close the GDDR sits tot he GPU on modern ada cards. IDK why people are obsessed with HBM, the R9 fury/nano/vega 56/64 were all failures. If you dont want a 3 slot card, dont buy one! Plenty of 2 slot cards out there. If they burn up: "Told you the connector was...

Nobody has taken away your 300w GPUs, or your 150w GPUs, or your 75W GPUs. Go buy as many RX 6400XTs as you'd like! Hell, why stop there? High end used to mean sub 40w, because that was all AGP could support! We HAVE TO GO BACK! :fear: Or, we can adapt to the changing world instead. People...

The biggest point of interest for me will be the price. If the 5090 is 4090 price and offers a decent jump, that bodes very well for mid range and high end card prices. Offering better performance at a higher price is so bad you'd rather get railroaded by console makers and their walled...

I think they do, they're desperate for cash given how much Stor Wors has lost over the last decade, so anyone can get a license these days.

Will depend on build quality. For a core i5, 16GB RAM, 512GB NVMe SSD, and a 1200p display, is $750 really that crazy? And dont forget, these have way more usable ports then modern laptops.

Oh hey look, a laptop with usable ports and durable construction for a reasonable price! Can we get those with an actual OS please?

Just build an ATX PC. Cheaper price and more choice of components! Oh wait, that's not what the consumer wanted. Hmmmm..... I agree on the better GPU and power output. 7600m is just way too weaksauce to justify the price. Now, a 7900m, or a 4080m? Now we're talking.

Disagree, its still a lie. Yes, new systems are more energy efficient, but for consumer loads, there's little difference between an old haswell rig and a new rig in terms of energy use. Is that, at most, 40w difference in energy usage an hour going to offset all the energy spent to mine the...

We already have an answer, it's called BTX. It could handle 200w GPUs and 140w Pentium Ds with a single 80mm fan. The industry just really isn't up to the task of retooling everything.

Let's ignore that most other cards are 2 slot..... *when it works right Intel's drivers have gotten a lot better but they still are very dependent on title specific optimization, theyre a long way form AMD or nvidia.

My guess: if there is one thing that hates the cold more then lead acid batteries, it's lithium. The literal tens of MILLIONS of cars that sit outside in 0 degree weather overnight are going to destroy those lithium batteries in short order, then you, the manufacturer, are on the hook for tens...

Why are we still using the outdated ATX form factor in these "mini" ITX cases? Stop bloated the cases for these giant bricks! You can get 1000 watts in the SFX form factor FFS. EDIT: and with a PSU and mobo, the mini II has no expansion slots despite having enough room. WTF is this design?

Bits matter, not channels. DDR5 is "quad channel" if you have 2 sticks. DDR6 will be "quad channel" in a single stick. But it's still 64 total bits per stick and 2 main channels from the CPU with A/B slots meaning a max of 128 bit, the same since DDR1 came out. DDR6 could be 64 "channel" with...

Change for sake of change is absolutely insane. Windows 7 was peak OS design and it should have just stayed that way. (Actually I prefer Vista the best but people go mental if you mention it).

Nah this literally isnt on the holdout's check. MS just had to move on. That's all they had to do. Turning Windows into a constantly updating nightmare that bugs you that your CPU is 5 years old and its time for an upgrade was more work then just ignoring the holdouts. This is MS trying to make...
