    Apple loses A7 patent lawsuit to University of Wisconsin, faces $0.9 billion damages

    ^^ Apple has been plenty happy to sue anyone and everyone, patent trolling themselves. Karma's a bitch.

    Haswell to Broadwell IPC

    Because different motherboards and OEMs are more or less agressive when it comes to Turbo Frequencies. My mobo will turbo all 4 cores to 4.4

    Are you upgrading to Skylake?

    I will not be 'upgrading' from my 4790k as I can't imagine any cause too. However, if I build an auxiliary computer for netflix/htpc/general use I will definitely be looking closely at the skylake SKUs, and if DDR4 prices are reasonable, it might be perfect for my intended use.

    Intel Takes Lead In SV Diversity Push (What Will Happen To CPU Design)

    All generalizations effect individuals, all broad assumptions effect individuals, in the end, all beliefs effect individuals. Anyone who statistically studies a population or group is aware of this. That is why it is relatively easy to measure and predict populations as a whole, but difficult...

    Intel Takes Lead In SV Diversity Push (What Will Happen To CPU Design)

    I wish that everyone who has ever incorrectly phrased something as misogynistic would just explode. I Know it's a trendy thing to say but open a fracking DICTIONARY.

    The advent of atomic-scale transistors CPU operation is expected to break the bottlen

    +1 vote for argon, yet I admit I don't know if even a trace of oxygen, lets say 1-10ppm is enough to cause problems for this process

    Intel Takes Lead In SV Diversity Push (What Will Happen To CPU Design)

    If the problems of an approach outweigh the benefits, it doesn't improve anything. All that matters is the scale.

    Definitely. My only goal was to highlight a problem with such initiatives.

    Is there any reason to use FX CPUs right now?

    Fow WoT single thread performance is much more important, as the game only uses 1-2 threads.

    Intel Takes Lead In SV Diversity Push (What Will Happen To CPU Design)

    I work in a ~99% male industry. In my opinion, for my industry women are just as skilled as men, and in some ways the average woman has certain traits that actually make her better suited to the job than average men. To increase diversity in any industry, you have to foster interest in young...

    [Sweclockers] AMD Zen coming in Q3 2016, will be on 14 nm

    I presume that it does, since I believe that people do this with laptops as well.

    [Sweclockers] AMD Zen coming in Q3 2016, will be on 14 nm

    Equivalent products are already on the market, so I would think, if the product is well designed and validated, none.

    3770K vs 2600K with 32GB of RAM

    Loading the IMC with 32gb of RAM will have a negative effect on maximum CPU OC potential. Welcome to the wonderful world of tradeoffs.

    core i5 haswell to core i7 haswell

    +1. Are you using 3x 4gb sticks? If so you're ram configuration is slowing you down as you are not running in dual channel.
