The last thing this world needs is even MORE semiconductor consolidation. As it sits right now we only have a few huge players. This is very bad for the industry.
I think it's more likely the pump has failed, or your liquid cooler has lost most of its water. But always try simple stuff first - change the paste and clean the radiator.
Your "power efficient" CPU is using 1.5x the entire idle desktop power budget of modern laptops. A single extra watt of power on a mobile CPU can tank battery life by 2-3 hours.
10-15 ms is 1 frame at 60 FPS. 10-15ms delay from 800 Mhz to 5 GHz is also millions of clock cycles, not billions ;)
Better cooling will allow the CPU to run higher voltage at a given power level. But ultimately you're still limited by the PPT limit, which is 88w. But based on my own experiences with my 3900X, we're talking maybe a 100 MHz difference between ~88°C and 65°C. You aren't going to start hitting...
The CPU is not going to throttle in any real tangible way until it hits 90°C. The real limit is power. Your CPU needs a certain voltage to hit a certain speed. But as the system increases voltage, the power your CPU consumes goes up. For your CPU, the maximum allowed package power is 88w. If you...
Keep in mind the semi-conductor industry exists about 3-5 years ahead of any consumer-facing products. The decision to create rocket lake would have been made many years ago.
There are very few commercial RISC-V processors available at the moment, and as far as I am aware, none of them are available "socketed". Now, that's not to say they couldn't just make a motherboard with a soldered on CPU, but that's not really their thing.
The second issue is that there is...
I currently have a 3900X in an ASUS TUF Gaming x570 with three drives:
- 1TB Samsung 970 Pro connected to the CPU nvme slot
- 1TB Samsung 970 Evo connected to the x570 nvme slot
- 1TB WD Black HDD connected to SATA
My system has been on for several hours and using Crystal Disk Mark 8.0.1, my...
AMD actually had a "GPGPU" solution implemented on their R580 cards well before CUDA. There were people using Radeon X1900s to do Folding@Home, and for a while AMD was the "GPGPU" darling. But they somehow squandered that lead.
I'd like to get a 6800XT, but will definitely wait for things to settle down. My 5700XT is just fine for the time being. I assume in typical AMD fashion the performance will increase with subsequent driver revisions.
As far as driver issues go - I've never had any major driver issues with any...
I'm not 100% convinced that accelerators are the future. Maybe short term, but I doubt it long term. The industry goes through cycles of focusing on "general purpose" computing elements to "bespoke compute elements".
The first 3D graphics adapters had bespoke individual discreet components (or...
I/O costs power, that's a fact. Powering large DRAM busses over large distances requires a lot of power. That is a fact. It's not "nonsense" just because you don't like hearing it. A wide of assortment of I/O isn't "legacy junk" just because you don't use it.
- PCI-E is not "legacy junk". No...
