Question DEGRADING Raptor lake CPUs

That's nothing new though, that's what intel has been doing for many many years now, this is not the thing that changed. What changed is that the CPUs got too good, they boot and work at voltages and clocks that previous gens would just outright black screen and reset bios options, but now they...

Question Just in case anyone thinks I'm a fanboy

Just my guess. After the microcode/new bios gets applied they will ask people to check if they get the stated single core clocks at less than 1.5V (or whatever it will be) if it doesn't you will get an RMA, if it does then your CPU is still doing what you paid for and will keep doing that for a...

Question One more Intel question

Watch this video for background info. Basically check your max vid (around 10 min in the video) ,if it shows close to, or even higher than, 1.5V then look into bios settings, if voltage settings are too complicated for you then just lower the max clocks by 100Mhz or something so that the CPU...

Question Could/should AMD buy a 25% stake in Intel, now that doing so would be cheap?

And you know that how?! Because that's what all the sensationalists youtubers are saying?! We have no idea about the real numbers here just as we have no idea about the real numbers for the exploding ryzen incident. They are just searching for people that had any actual loss to then see if there...

Huh?! Like to elaborate?! Client was 7.4bil revenue (more than AMD all segments put together) how is that not much of a factor?! Nothing will happen to intel due to raptor lake, nothing happened to AMD for having exploding CPUs and this is far less of an issue than exploding CPUs.

Yes they would, have you looked at their numbers lately?! They are making 5% money and that's up from 0% A good enough offer and AMD would license the crap out of 64bit. Or nvidia could come up with an alternative 64 bit system like itanium was, it would take long to get accepted but if it...

News Intel 2Q24 Financial Results

If AMD survived the massive RMAs and lawsuit of having exploding CPUs then intel will survive this...Oh wait nobody made a lawsuit against AMD for exploding CPUs?! But you think they will make one for having to turn down the artificial auto overclock to make a CPU run without crashing anymore...

News AMD 2Q24 Financial Results

Exactly, they are paying AMD to produce the APUs...so common sense would say that sony/ms made a deal for so and so many units at a certain price, if the cost of production goes up it's not sony/ms problem, it's amds. You would have to have insider knowledge to make a different claim, you would...

News AMD 2Q24 Financial Results

That's never going to happen for consoles, they will either go back to arm/risc/powerpc or they won't. And if in 4-5 years high enough broadband has reached enough coverage then physical consoles might stop altogether since most people will be ok with streaming games, from a service like...

News AMD 2Q24 Financial Results

Yes, if you ignore all of the costs associated with producing something then it's always free money.... TSMC has increased prices like what, 4 times in the last few years?! I think the point is that if AMD would put the money they spend on the gaming segment on the data center segment they...

Question İ5 12450h cpu tdp limit is dangerous or not?

Have you tried putting long and short to 45W and leaving performance at 100% ? It should have good enough cooling for 45W all the time if that was the default setting. There are no issues from setting power too low, until you go so low that the CPU can't even start anymore, but if your cooling...

Would Modern Humans Be In Natural History Museums Millions Of Years From Now?

Well we stopped natural selection for humans so there will be no natural evolution of humans anymore so people should look the same even in millions of years unless we change the way we look ourselves by genetic manipulation, like make us smaller in size so we need fewer resources or make us...

Question storage dvd drive

You don't need to do it ever, if the silicon grease on the motor degrades you have to clean it and re apply it, using it or not is not going to make much if any difference. Same goes for the motor, in the worst case it will need some fresh oil.

Question installing Windows 11 on 2.5" 1TB SATA SSD hooked up to WYSE 5070 thin client PC

Search google for windows to go, you can install windows to a usb device, it gets installed to a virtual hard drive so there will be a bit of loss in drive speed but as long as you don't run any disk benchmarks you won't notice. Also linux is always an option and has more native ways of running...
