9to5 Google claims this is the Nexus 6/X.

Nexus = low cost is a definition created by Google when they launched the Play store and debuted the Galaxy Nexus for $399 off contract. Then continued when they launched the Nexus 7 for $199 and the Nexus 4 for $299 off contract. And continued further when they launched the Nexus 7 2013 for...

Android/iOS Capture 96.4% Of Smartphone Market, Windows Phone Shrinks

I think a huge part of this is that they are in the business of sales, and trying to sell a Windows Phone device to a person probably leads to more returns than if they sell an iPhone or Android device. Once a person gets a Windows Phone device home and then starts trying to load apps on it...

770 vs. 280x to replace misbehaving MSI 670

You just need to use something like Afterburner to lower the clockspeed a bit or raise the voltages a bit. Made my 670 PE OC completely stable.

Is the memory clock suppose to be running at Max speed when watching youtube?

Yea, this issue drove me nuts with my 5850 and really turned me off to AMD. My displays would flicker every time a web video was loaded because of the changing memory clock. The "solution" was to just peg the memory clock constantly. Absolutely zero problems since dumping AMD and picking up a...

Really, really impressed with my new chromebook

A word of warning depending on what color you bought. The plastic that HP used is like the most stainable material known to man and there is no way to clean it that I have found short of sanding the plastic down.. Even placing the laptop in a carrying case will stain it.

Surface Pro 3 thread - Info, thoughts, opinions

I'd be very interested in reading about the differences. One thing I just realized is that the XPS 12 is like a year old at this point. I wonder if they are going to be launching a refreshed model sometime soon. Would explain the great deals being found on them recently.

Is it possible to load Android on an Atom based Win 8 tablet?

This doesn't really help you at all, but I found out yesterday that Intel had built a Kit Kat x86 build for the XPS 12. Kind of awesome if you own an XPS 12, which hopefully I will in the next few days.

Is it possible to load Android on an Atom based Win 8 tablet?

Maybe try Genymotion? Last time I tried it, it worked pretty flawlessly on my desktop. Its running android from within windows, so battery life wont be anything special. Would love to hear back how it runs on limited hardware like that.

Chromebook Question

Yea, it sucks that the displays on the intel based laptops are TN panels with low resolution, but personally I think they are good enough, especially for the price. I think the performance boost the intel based chromebooks have over the ARM based ones is worth taking the hit on the display.

Why doesn't Samsung further Optimize? Android.

Samsung adds a thousand features on top of android, many of which require constantly running services. That takes a toll. Also the emmc used in the GS5 doesn't seem to be the best, which may have an effect on performance. You get the same exact lags on stock android when you bloat it up with...

Upgrading from GTX 670

Haswell based Celeron 2955U and Bay Trail Atom Z3740D?

This is exactly what I want compared. I want to pick up a new device to mess around with, and all I want it to be able to do is handle very light gaming from steam. I'm between either the Asus T100 or running crouton on the Chromebook 14 from HP. The T100 is about 40-50% underpowered where...

The Intel Atom Thread

My biggest question about Bay Trail in something like the Asus T100 is how it will play games. If it can handle games like Torchlight/Trine/Mark of the Ninja with an acceptable framerate I will be very happy.

Because why would anyone want to listen to the radio when there are like a hundred better ways to listen to music on a smartphone? Maybe one out of a hundred people would ever use the feature. Radio is awful, at least here in the US.

Google Chromecast

I have no doubt that local content will eventually work, but I do think that there is no way that the Chromecast device will be able to decode MKV files. So there will have to be some sort of transcoding thing going on on the desktop/server most likely.

This thing is insanely good by the looks of it. Absolutely buying at least one. I wonder if I could just stack the netflix 3 month promotionals one on top of the other. I am guessing . . . . . yes. Also waiting for it to hit Amazon as I have credit there. Can't come soon enough.

There is no chance its using the Snapdragon 800. Windows Phone doesn't support that processor, and unless the phone will remain non functional for 6 months before Windows Phone is updated to support that technology, it is almost assuredly going to have the exact same processor as the 925/920...

Moto X

Because if it releases this summer, KLP won't be out yet. Google hasn't released 4.3 yet, they aren't going to release KLP within 3 months of 4.3, and they especially aren't going to release KLP on a Motorola phone before a Nexus gets it.

Display drivers keep crashing. Fresh install. GTX670 + 3770K

I have almost an identical system as you. I had the same thing happen. Your GPU is clocked too aggressively. Either underclock it a bit, or bump up the voltage a bit. I did both. Haven't had an issue since.
