    1080ti SLI worth it?

    SLI almost never worth it. Most games scale very bad. Still waiting for VR which should give it the most efficient boost with 1card per eye. They still have not figured it out yet.

    2017 Apple Store experience

    The 6S line is very much not waterproof/resistant . They did add sticky tape around the front frame. But i get more 6S phones in for water damage than the 6.

    New iPad released 2017-03-21 called... wait for it... iPad

    I think Air 2 is superior to iPad 5th Generation (2017). (Yeah the retardedly refer to it as 5th gen on apples site.) The A9 is really not much faster than the tricore A8 as I switch between a Pro and Air 2 alot. Compared to the Air1 A7 though its a huge difference. The Pro's battery life is...

    Ryzen-A Fail for Gamers?

    I think hyperthreading is ultimately pulling Ryzen back as I feared. When you have 8 physical cores, you don't really need hyperthreading anymore, it is just spreading resources thin for no reason. But it was needed more for marketing vs Intel, so they had to do it. Turn it off and we get much...

    are multi-threaded cores the most logical design?

    Makes me think if i get a Ryzen 8 core, i can disable HT and get max performance. I mean I get by fine with 6700k, 8 true cores would be awesome.

    For VL! Intel G3920 review

    You don't even need to do that going from a Sandy Pentium to a Skylake Pentium is like lightning. You really can't tell a difference in basic web browsing and video watching.

    ZEN ES Benchmark from french hardware Magazine

    we really need the good old days where amd destroyed intels p4. Intel survived fine, while AMD had the performance crown. anything less we might not see amd for much longer.

    2500K upgrade to i7-6700K worth it? (same old question)

    I upgraded from a 2500 to a Skylake 6700 @ 4.6GHz, and it feels buckets faster. I even reused my samsung 830 and it feels more than fast enough. Itching to upgrade my work Ivy bridge, i've since upped that bad boy to 4.5GHz, but it still doesn't feel nearly as snappy, and that one has a 840Pro...

    What budget CPU would you use for repurposing a 28nm Nvidia or 28nm AMD dGPU?

    Threw in a 460GTX into an HP with a core 2 quad core q8200 that i got off the street (literally 3 of them sitting on the curb). They play Overwatch really amazingly.

    Are you waiting for Kaby Lake?

    Will 2XX series mobos have USB 3.1 native support? Might wait for that, but i have a few skylakes lying around already, but really like Windows 7 at the office.

    iPhone 7, What's the point of pre-ordering.

    Darn I sold my 6 plus travel phone and looking to replace it with a 7, but it just has so many knocks against it. No headphone jack is a dealbreaker as i lose my heaphones a lot and ordered a dozen Xaoimi $2 heaphones to put everywhere. The home button feels like crap...has no feel. The haptic...

    i7 (4MB cache) vs i5 (only 3MB) laptop.. when will you see difference?!

    I went from a 3317 i5 1.7GHz - 2.6GHz to i7 2.0Ghz - 3.1Ghz Lenovo Yoga after using the i5 for over 2 years. Noticed barely a difference.

    Onboard audio vs Dedicated

    It really depends on your taste. Generally if you have to ask, you are no an audiophile to dump tons of money on something totally subjective. All sounds card have a sound signature that are different. Not necessarily "better." Money is better spent on better speakers or headphones. Speakers are...

    Asus still sells new 2016 desktop PCs with 2012 processor...

    Honestly, putting a brand new 2016 AMD processor wouldn't chance performance all that much!

    I remember when "founders" edition are usually marked down from MSRP.
