I would definitely hold off. I track RTX 3090 / 3090 Ti prices on eBay and the downward shift I've been seeing over the past month has been staggering. The lowest sold price I've seen so far is $680 with $35 shipping for a total of $715. The average sale price is $804.xx. My belief is that price...
Negative Ghost Rider.
Competition is a good thing, the more the merrier. Why are smartphone prices so inexpensive, comparatively speaking? Because there's loads of vendors and loads of choice and loads of SoC /chipset producers.
Samsung, Apple, RockChip, MediaTek, Qualcomm, Allwinner, and...
Boy, this sure aged like milk, didn't it?
I know from the moment I watched Jay's video that he was full of shit. The only question I want answered is:
Is he full of redacted because he's an NVIDIA shill who's scared of standing up to NVIDIA like Linus had to do?
OR
Is he full of redacted...
AMD was so far behind Intel that frankly I'm shocked (but pleasantly so) that they were able to be as competitive as they currently are right now.
I don't think Intel is going to have much on their 10nm roadmap for 2020 either, though. SemiAccurate reported awhile back that Intel's 10nm process...
10-15%?
So what? A Core i9-9900K now costs me $411? Not impressed. Not impressed, because once you update to Windows 10 1903, and once you shore up all the security problems, the Ryzen 7 3800X will blow that 9900K out of the water.
That said... this is an even worse proposition for a user...
Timeline is wrong, everything else is right.
Intel won't be competitive in gaming when Zen 3 arrives. Intel is AT LEAST 18 months away, and probably two years if they were honest about it, from hammering out the 10nm process to a point where they can expect 65/95/105/125 watt parts for...
Yeah, I think we're actually of the same mindset, but I failed to broadcast it.
With Threadripper, you get 64 PCI-E lanes and quad-channel memory. I'm going to need to build a deep learning machine here in about a year or so; that means Ryzen won't really be in the cards for me because I'll...
Yeah, I don't see this as a hot deal at all, I'm afraid. This is first-gen Threadripper and every reliable - and non-reliable - source says there's going to be a Ryzen 9 3850X with 16 cores / 32 threads and it'll sell for $499 / $549.
Either way, the IPC improvements alone would be worth the...
He didn't get screwed, but he is limited somewhat by the platform. I suspect his new machine will go strong for another two years before the age really starts to show.
You'd have to be operating on a shoestring budget to care about that. Any reviewer with any semblance of importance in the tech journalism industry could tell AMD to go eff themselves with such a setup. Frankly AMD should be thankful anyone's willing to review them at all.
As far as how...
Couldn't agree more with this sentiment. People always talk about how it only costs X amount of dollars, where "X" is always some poorly defined variable which is not inclusive of reasonable situations and use cases.
Perfect example is the jump to 4K. If you invest in a 4K monitor, you're...
Just because Intel now has a $1750 "Enthusiast" processor doesn't mean $300 - $350 is now the budget arena.
I define budget CPUs in a similar breakdown of pricing structure as I define budget GPUs. $500 - $1000 is your top-end arena for GPUs, $300-$500 is your mid-range, and $100 - $300 is...
Well, a lot of unrealistic posts here, and a few realistic ones.
Lemme chime in with some realism.
I want it to be faster than a comparable Intel product in terms of its price.
If they're asking $550-$600 for a chip, it better outperform an Intel i7-6850K in most benchmarks, and by at least...
Are these posts a joke?
Why would any of you ever think that AMD was going to be the competitive gaming chip? Its been what? 10? 11? years since that was the case. You didn't honestly believe Jim Keller alone could come in and make a gaming chip that would lay low the mighty Intel with its...
Lemme explain something to you hoss... unless you, personally, can force someone to change their underperforming product, its your problem.
You can hand wring and cry and whine about it, but unless they're compelled to change it, its your problem.
DOOM crashes for some reason on my...
