Don't... SC has regular free play weekends for you to try it, and if you are looking for a replacement for Elite Dangerous then No Man's Sky may be a good replacement. -

That's your subconscious telling the truth.

Some of the whales are in too deep to admit they were wrong, they'll go broke giving Roberts all their money first before any self reflection and course correction.

BBowman15 reacted to WorldExclusive's post in the thread GPU MSRP is Not Meaningless @ HardOCP.com with Like.
Nvidia's goal moving forward is to minimize profit above MSRP to retail. They will keep raising the price until the market can't bear it. So if an $500 extra can be made on a x80 part, they will raise the price to regain that profit so the...

It gives irrelevant news, I don't like the name, its search results are often lower quality than Google.

Oh, so Intel making multipliers unavailable in BIOS when they previously were, and the competition allowed it isn't a limitation then.....

The biggest problem with this is, I want their shit. I just don't like their methods. Yes I can complain about their shady shit, and just still buy whatever I want. At the end of the day I don't own a mega corp so I cant exactly relate...

If Intel can hide something behind a paywall, they definitely will.

Intel still charges a premium for unlocked chips, a practice that by itself only came about due to competition. So I disagree.

But even the lowest sku alder lake cpu isn't going to be bottle necking web browsing to any significant degree.

Intel of all companies is not gonna leave money on the table. I have never seen them take that stance with any product in their entire history and I seriously doubt they are going to start now - they consider themselves a "premium brand" after...

Only until they are in a position to cash in. :)

Well my 5900X doesn't have AVX-512 either and I couldn't care less. But removing features via microcode update does seem rather under-handed. In years past it would have been easy to simply stay on an old BIOS, but these days many OEM systems...

Even stuff that is sold and shipped by Amazon is subject to counterfeiting. Like the MS Office "sold and shipped by Amazon" was a xerox.

Don't buy from 3rd party sellers. Buy from Amazon. However there have been news where Samsung were selling fake thumb drives.

Yes, TSMC fabbed. Yep. Drivers are the primary focus of scaling its launch now. Intel was initially TSMC's 6nm launch partner. Turmoil.
