Discussion Intel current and future Lakes & Rapids thread

But it did. Google search? https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/tech-news-rumor-intels-third-10nm-cpu-may-be-known-tigerlake Rumors as early as Jan 2016. Just because 10 nm was broken does not mean the designs had not begun.

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

1. Apple choosing to serve a lower cost segment of the market with certain products does not make them a competitor with all other chip designers. It makes them a competitor with other widget makers in that market segment. “Normal people” make purchasing decisions based on a myriad of rational...

Discussion Apple Silicon SoC thread

I perfectly understand the desire to compare the performance of Apple Silicon versus Intel and AMD offerings. There are a lot of Interesting facets to consider: x86 vs ARM (CISC vs RISC, by extension), IDM vs foundry, general CPU design, manufacturing node, etc. Lots of topics on which people...

Help for upgrading WRT54GL

I've used both and I much prefer Tomato. It's leaner, cleaner, simpler, and will usually give you all that you need. DD-WRT is nice, too, especially considering it's compatible with many routers, but I'd only use it if I happened to already own a router that was not Tomato-compatible.

Help for upgrading WRT54GL

There are now several N routers that can run Tomato (custom builds). A popular build choice is TomatoUSB. Others well-known ones are Victek's RAF builds and Toastman's builds. I can't speak to the quality of the routers supported by the custom Tomato builds, so I will direct you to the good...

XFX 6950 HD 1G $199 + $10 Hot?

Just another note: this is probably a hijacked eBay account. If you look at the seller's history, you can clearly see that this item is not related to the seller's usual auctions. Beware. I've gone ahead and reported it just in case...

Mac gaming - lies?

I'm pretty sure that the developers won't really code for Cider. Rather, they'll do kind of a more trial and error process tweaking the Cider prefs little by little to make it work best with their games. I mean, think about it, all the games EA announced aren't going to be RECODED just for the...

Gaming rig for overclock

NewEgg is good, but not the best. Always shop around. Use PriceWatch, PriceGrabber, etc. But yeah, your current choice of retailer is charging way high. And as for your CPU, Opteron 165 gets another vote. Mad overclockers and 1MB L2 cache vs the 3800+ 512KB L2 cache.
