    iGPU equivalent of Quadro FX 880m in W510

    Hello everyone, I have a Lenovo W510 that I've had for quite a few years now. It's been a great computer, but I'm getting to the point where I'd like a much more portable solution and would like to retire this computer to desktop status. My question is what iGPUs, if any, would be comparable...

    mind share can translate to marketshare; AMD gains x86 marketshare

    4% definitely isn't a drop in the bucket because of how bit the bucket is. This is important for AMD, as even if it is low margin it can allow the R&D cost of chip design to be spread over more chips, improving the financials of the entire company. It's a wonderful shot in the arm for them...

    Guess what product AMD is revealing!

    You do realize those numbers are meaningless and no conclusions can be drawn from them? You can't draw any reasonable conclusions from them at all (similarly to how Intel's claims about Silvermont's wonders were pretty useless). There is a 0% chance that Beema/Mullins has even a 100%...

    PSU dimensions and case compatibility question

    So I looked a bit more into it, it seems like it can support a 180 mm PSU, but that's the longest they recommend. From their website: " The maximum recommended combined depth for PSU and optical drive is 382mm plus 20mm room for connectors. We recommend the largest PSU to be no greater than...

    PSU dimensions and case compatibility question

    Hey all. I was looking at building a very quiet system (first build). So I was looking at the Kingwin STR-500 PSU (got a great deal on it) ideally in a mATX case. I've been looking at the Temjin tj08-e, but I have a concern. In the Anandtech review...
