As an investor, I thought AMD should price their chips a bit higher since they have performance parity with Intel, special features like PCIE4, and a lot lower power consumption. Also no real competition for the 12 core processor and combined with Intel's processor shortage.
A 12nm Polaris could be used in laptops where AMD is notably absent except for their APUs. Downclock them and combined with the 12nm process maybe power is low enough to compete with nvidia in mid-range performance. On the downside it would be hard to compete since Polaris is getting old and...
I recommend an inkjet printer because they're cheap to purchase and can print very good photos and art. You don't need any fancy ink tank printers unless you do a lot of printing, like thousands of these cover arts. Main thing is to get quality inkjet matte photo paper to get good results...
Amd announced details on their new v340 graphics card for data center. 300w for a card with dual Vega56 chips at 1500mhz? (Semiaccurate) and 32GB hbm. Product site shows its 14nm. The TDP seems low for 14nm since a wx8200 Vega56 card is 230w tdp. I was expecting it to be 7nm but could it be...
I bought this printer a few years ago due to it's high rating on color picture quality. The photos are very nice and professional, but not quite level of a good inkjet printer on good paper. It's great for printing signs, business documents, and general purpose photos. I would use it for...
I wonder what happens if Intel misses their 10nm target again, pushing things back into 2020/2021? How long does it take them to validate a process before mass producing processors? Basically I'm wondering if Intel has a fix now, or if they're just stalling for time.
I've been interested in getting a 2 in 1 laptop which I could use like a regular laptop, but also watching movies on airplanes and using it as a point of sale terminal and signing petitions.
I was looking at the new Dell 13" 2 in 1 with Ryzen. Fairly small, cheaper than most, and decent graphics.
The Intel response seems to be very carefully worded and doesn't debunk any of the rumors here.
"...have the potential to improperly gather sensitive data from computing devices that are operating as designed. Intel believes these exploits do not have the potential to corrupt, modify or delete...
Part of the reason AMD's not doing well on this chart is their APU CPU's have been on decline which hides increases in discrete graphics marketshare. Vega's is ramping and should provide a bit more marketshare in the coming quarters as well as the new Ryzen APU.
Matrox Millenium was a great 2d accelerator. I was disappointed that it was lacking in a lot of 3d features. It just had Garaud shading and z buffering which didn't do anything for gaming.
Then I got the Rendition Verite, I think it was the Diamond brand. It was cool having the first card...
I fault the AMD for the bad headlines. Ryzen is a great chip. However the chips should have been sent to reviewers much earlier (instead of days before) with guidance to including game streaming benchmarks and other multitasking scenarios. AMD should have been hounding on their board partners...
I think AMD delivered solidly on what they promoted, an 8/16 CPU that can hang with the equivalent 6900 and is able to run multiple programs better than a 7700. Everything else was media and user hype and expectations. The only things I fault AMD for is a rushed and buggy launch and not...
You're whole system is pretty old, except your processor and memory is still decent. If SWBF is the only game you expect to play this year and you expect to upgrade your whole system in 2018, then go for the cheap used gtx950 card. If you buy a RX470, it'll be obsolete and not balanced with a...
I went from a 6950 to a rx480 recently and I run 1200p. New games like Doom, Civ6, and Xcom2 work great at high settings. You'll probably have to go down to medium settings at 1600p, but it'll still be much better than your 7950.
If you can get the rx470 8gb at $215, go for it. However if...
Gotta love that bell curve. I think AMD's chip will be slightly cheaper with possibly a little better performance, but I wouldn't expect a huge drop. AMD needs good margins and profits.
I don't think the deal is worth as much as people expect. Nvidia got $1.5billion over 5 years as part of a settlement in a lawsuit. $500million over 5 years to AMD would be more realistic. Still money that AMD desperately needs.
I just replaced my 6950 with a 480 and it's like night and day. I can go to high settings instead of low and still get higher FPS in 1920x1200. I got this card for $190 and it'll be a stopgap until good 4k comes to mainstream cards and monitor prices come down a bit more. Maybe in a year or...
Intel is a business. The goal of business is to make as much money as possible. Allowing people to buy cheaper CPU/Motherboards to overclock to the levels of more expensive equipment will cause Intel to not make the maximum amount of profit.
Companies that work for the welfare of the people...
I agree with the immediate videocard (AMD 470 4GB) & SSD upgrade, then upgrade the other stuff periodically. You can still get by with that CPU overclocked and you're good on memory amount for now. In the future upgrade your motherboard, CPU, memory, PSU next. Then in a couple of years...
AMD 6950 that I flashed to 6970, 5.5yrs old. I normally replace my card every 3 to 4 years, but this one was still doing okay with the games I play. The game that killed it was XCOM2 where I get into the single digits with control lag on busy scenes on minimum settings. The slideshow got so...
Semiaccurate has some great scenarios where it would be a massive help...
"...How about 8K movie streaming and cleanup in realtime. At 96FPS. Sure you can do this with traditional methods but the best of them will run the same task at 17FPS."

I'm not confused on the different types of insurance. I don't have a problem with more people getting insurance as long as other people aren't forced to pay for other peoples insurance. Problem I have is other taxpayers have to pay the subsidies...the subsidies are separate from the cost of...
Thing I worry about universal healthcare is what I see from the Veterans Administration, which is basically universal healthcare for Soldiers and Veterans. Seen all the corruption, inefficiencies, and mistreatments on the news but figured it's just typical media and political exaggeration.
I...
Reason for the difference in polls depends on who you ask. If Obamacare gives you an advantage: prior medical condition, receiving subsidized insurance, older individual then you are probably going to be happy. If it gives you a disadvantage: young healthy adult, unsubsidized insurance, don't...
Thats more of a workgroup printer, way to expensive for what I need at $700 with a duplexer. I have an older model at work at those xerox printers are fast and cheap to run. Good, but not great color graphics quality though.
Viewing distance is a big factor in perceived resolution. A Nexus 7 is about 300 DPI, and usually held a little more than a foot away from your eyes. A 27" desktop monitor 2560x1440 monitor is about 100 DPI viewed about 3 feet away. The resolution of both displays should appear similar. A...
In the past to save money, I had 2 printers. 1 cheap brother/samsung B&W laser printer, and a high quality inkjet for color. The B&W allowed me to print lots of documents for homework, brochures, and flyers cheaply using toner refills. The inkjet was used for the occasional photo's or...
I need help in looking for a USB2 switch that will connect a Fujitsu FI-5120C document scanner to several computers. I'm looking for:
1. USB2 switch that will automatically switch or
2. USB2 over IP
So far I've found manual switches, or USB1 auto switches.
