    News [Reuters] Nvidia eclipses Intel as most valuable U.S. chipmaker

    Is it AI or datacenters demand that are driving Nvidia's growth? Nvidia's profits from gaming are only half of their revenue, they have become tremendously diversified. As a shareholder their valuation is a bit over the top @ today's $420. Mind u I used to say that when I first got in @ $35 and...

    News Crytek CryEngine shows raytracing technology demo (runs on Radeon RX Vega 56)

    What's the big deal if it's not an open world, non-fixed, real time demo? Can't any modern hardware render a fixed ray tracing scene? It's the open world, real time ray tracing that brings hardware to its knees. We've already scene photo realistic computer graphics for set scenes in movies...

    How is AMD releasing 7nm CPUs next year and Intel's still stuck on 14nm?

    Interesting, thanks for the insight guys. How is it a marketing term? For consumers? cause they barely know the difference between a CPU & GPU let alone 7nm & 10nm. Samsung & Qualcomm are already creating 7nm CPUs for mobile, those are also different?

    How is AMD releasing 7nm CPUs next year and Intel's still stuck on 14nm?

    As the title says, what the heck happened? I'm still rocking my 4790k from 2014, and to think that intel has been stuck on 14nm for 4 years while AMD is surpassing them with 7nm next year is quite a shocker! Is intel really going to stick with 10nm or skip to 7nm? Did intel not care anymore...

    Trump and China call cease fire on tariffs

    I love how you generalize about Americans and Chinese as if they're just one group of people, all having the same uniform entities. 350 million people in America, 1.4 billion in China, I'm pretty sure there is an ENORMOUS variance among both as to how they should conduct themselves politically...

    Trump and China call cease fire on tariffs

    The question is, are they really interested in making a trade deal or are the whole tariffs their way of keeping China down? VP Pence himself made a speech saying China is a threat to American Hegemony and needs to be curtailed until they have some democratic institutions. Until that happens...

    Wait for RTX 2060 or get used GTX 1070?

    Ya Ray tracing isn't that important for me. I'm old enough to know that new graphics features take years to implement and don't become standard until consoles get them.

    So read this report in the news about how the PC industry is making a comeback and credit is being given to Micron, Nvidia, and Intel, but no mention at all of AMD! Check it out...

    Onedrive has come a loooong way!

    So i've been using Dropbox as the gold standard since cloud computing became a thing (since 2013ish), but recently I tried Onedrive again and man has it come a looong way! Things sync instantly, there are no sync issues, its speedy and very responsive. Seems to be a very solid platform compared...

    So, what does everyone think of President Obama's fab new lifestyle?

    But isn't it impossible for a middle class or, *gasp*, a lower class person to become President with the huge financial investment required to declare ur candidacy? Sent from my SM-G955W using Tapatalk

    Official AMD Ryzen Benchmarks, Reviews, Prices, and Discussion

    all are unlocked?? I just don't see why anyone would pay the premium for the others then? The 300mhz difference must be ridiculously easy to achieve in an overclock. Speculation about binned CPUs doesn't make any sense based on how CPUs are created in the factory.

    Official AMD Ryzen Benchmarks, Reviews, Prices, and Discussion

    i dont get it, the 1800x and the 1700 are only 300mhz apart (all other specs seem the same), yet are $150 apart??? I'm guessing the 1800x is unlocked and that's why the price premium is there?
