  • Hail The Brain Slug replied to the thread Discussion Zen 5 Speculation (EPYC Turin and Strix Point/Granite Ridge - Ryzen 9000).

  • Hail The Brain Slug replied to the thread Question Hyped for the 9070XT.

    330W checks out for the Nitro+, are you sure the Taichi is 330W and not 340W? This confirms TPU numbers are not accurate. They claim...
