    Ryzen-A Fail for Gamers?

    Yeah I agree with that statement. But at worst Zen performs like a 6-8 core Broadwell would against a 4 core Kaby Lake, and at its best it's top of the pack with its 16 threads -- something that will benefit it (as well as Intel's HEDT lineup) going into the future. Broadwell level performance...

    Ryzen-A Fail for Gamers?

    I just find it hilarious that the whole "PC master race" cult surrounding PC gaming was all about 4K with maxed AA, AF, and other graphical fidelities; but suddenly after Ryzen's launch, a lot of the "PC master race" suddenly care about 720p/1080p and CPU bottlenecks. What a joke. The fact of...

    Ryzen-A Fail for Gamers?

    Not to mention the price differential... Ryzen pretty much makes the entire Intel HEDT platform massively overpriced. If you need more than 8 cores or dual GPUs, you may as well skip Intel HEDT and just buy a proper Xeon E5 workstation platform. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ryzen-A Fail for Gamers?

    Oh yeah, it's definitely a fail. :fearscream: Seriously, how can anyone call this CPU a failure? It's one of the most interesting architectures in recent CPU history -- it's performance is competitive to some of Intel's best, and so is its power consumption. It's only weakness is probably an...

    Why so much FUD/BS regarding Ryzen on these boards?

    I don't get the negativity toward Ryzen either. Actually, I'm very surprised that people are complaining about Ryzen at all. It's a fantastic chip. It's as fast as Broadwell-E in productivity, and it's fast enough in gaming so as to deliver smooth frametimes. It outperforms anything...

    AMD Ryzen (Summit Ridge) Benchmarks Thread (use new thread)

    Thanks, but I was being sarcastic. ;) I've been following Anandtech, and sites like Tech Report, Beyond3D and Real World Tech for over decade. I know that Intel and AMD CPUs are both x86 and x86-64 compatible. I find it pretty lamentable that a fellow tech enthusiast would even question if...

    AMD Ryzen (Summit Ridge) Benchmarks Thread (use new thread)

    You're going to have to expound your thoughts. I am obviously talking about macOS and OS X well after the PowerPC transition. Have you got macOS running on an ARM platform? Such drama. My point was that you can't simply take iOS 10, for example, and run it on say a RaspberryPi or device...

    Really? Do you have a link for this?? To think: I've been following Anandtech for over a decade, and this is the first time someone mentioned this. Ok, the sarcasm is getting tiring. Come on man, there's no need to lower the conversation with statements like that. ...in a Windows context...

    AMD Ryzen (Summit Ridge) Benchmarks Thread (use new thread)

    See my post above. Very little is impossible for Apple, given its huge cash reserves. But Apple only does things if they have strong incentives or sees large potential growth in projects. Otherwise they play things very very safe. Also, macOS (formerly OS X) is x86 only. It's actually iOS that...

    AMD Ryzen (Summit Ridge) Benchmarks Thread (use new thread)

    Yep. Also, it's not just a problem with the OS, itself but also issues with things like bootloaders and EFI configs too. Would it be impossible for Apple? Of course not. They're basically the world's most wealthy company. But something that cytg needs to explain is: what incentive is there for...

    Installing macOS on unsupported hardware -- or even slightly supported hardware (e.g. some Broadcom network adapters, some AMD/Nvidia GPUs, most sound cards and so on) -- is an abslutely nightmare and major PITA. That's why I said "basically impossible". Apple implements support for...

    Go ahead and try install macOS on an AMD platform, then come back and message me. ;) Or better yet, why don't you go to tonymacx86 forums and survey how many Hackintosh enthusiasts run AMD platforms.

    AMD Ryzen (Summit Ridge) Benchmarks Thread (use new thread)

    Highly doubtful. There's not even any support for AMD CPU instructions in macOS (makes it basically impossible to install macOS on an AMD Hacintosh).

    NVIDIA Quadro P6000 Review - Faster Than Titan X (3840 CUDA Cores)

    Had to nitpick here; but I think it's one of the Gold Squadron pilots that says this. :p Sorry! I recently just saw Rogue One, so feeling a bit of Star Wars fever right now haha!

    ZEN ES Benchmark from french hardware Magazine

    Ryzen may not be enough to knock Intel off the performance throne, but it will offer some serious competition. This is fantastic news. I honestly prefer Intel platforms, but if AMD can give Intel a good smackdown in the performance class ($200-600), then this is great for all PC (and...

    Frustrating time to be an Apple user

    There's never been a better time to be an iOS user; it plain sucks to be a macOS fan right now though. Go for the iPhone 7 128GB option. The lack of headphone jack is such an overblown issue, and there really is no other phone in its performance class and with such large access to high...

    budget cpu for rendering

    I can vouch for this (look at my signature). It's a serious amount of processing power for very little cost. There are a few caveats with the motherboard however: it doesn't have an onboard sound processor so you'll have to buy a discrete sound card (or maybe a USB one), and it doesn't have...

    Apple reorganizes its software engineering department: No more dedicated MacOS team :(

    In all my time of following the tech industry, I've never seen such a prominent and powerful company mishandle a successful product portfolio as Apple has with the Mac. It's actually amazing. When Steve Jobs left Apple, the Mac lineup was in a dominant position: iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air...

    Extremely disappointed at the new Macbook Pros

    The 460 is definitely a "must-have" upgrade over the stock 450. Actually, for the prices Apple charges, the 460 should be standard across all SKUs.

    Extremely disappointed at the new Macbook Pros

    I think what's most disappointing is how good this laptop could have been. It had great potential to continue to be the "go-to" professional laptop platform if Apple didn't make such boneheaded decisions. It shouldn't have been $400 more expensive than its predecessor, it should have featured a...

    Was Prescott really that bad?

    Yeah, Prescott was awful. The 31 stage pipeline meant that it had worse IPC than the Northwood chips it was replacing due to a hefty branch misprediction penalty. I suppose Intel engineers were anticipating to clock to speeds near or above 5GHz, but that never came to fruition. It gets points...

    Mac Upgrade time ? 2008 stuff here

    I would personally go for the new 13" MacBook Pro with function keys, iPhone 7 Plus matte black, and perhaps waiting on the iPad Pro. The 13" MBP is still very very mobile, while packing a lot more processing power than the 12" MB. The extra TB3 port also makes it far less restrictive from an...

    Worst GPUs of All Time?

    Dual GPUs are known to be flakey, so it's not a surprise when they run into driver issues. I think the AMD buy out damaged ATI's image more than R600. AMD just has a trash image amongst enthusiasts and PC gamers, and I have no idea why AMD decided to get rid of the ATI brand name so quickly...

    Where is the Anandtech RX480 Polaris Full Review?

    I LOL'd at all the comments in regards to PSUs, keyboards, mice and random Chinese phones. I thought the exact same thought. PSUs: buy a Seasonic or Silverstone. Keyboards: all mechanical ones are the same. Mice: try one out in store. Case: it's fugly, they all have the same features. Chinese...

    Worst GPUs of All Time?

    The issue is that R600, besides the ridiculous 512 bit memory bus, was actually well engineered. As I said before, most of the issues of R600 were due to TSMC's disastrous 80nm process, causing ATI engineers to downclock the card by about 200MHz in order to keep power consumption in check. Oh...

    Worst GPUs of All Time?

    1. GeForce FX 5800 Easily. The FX disaster was compounded by NVIDIA cheating on benchmarks by lowering IQ in order to drive up FPS. It's a big reason why many GPU enthusiasts have trust issues when it comes to NVIDIA. Tied for second place are the: GeForce 8800 Ultra: Joke pricing. Radeon...

    You're not going to believe this, but Apple really rocks (again)!

    Apple's support is second to none. It's the primary reason why I struggle to leave the Apple platform be it Macs, iPhones or iPads. That's what so many Windows/Android fans just fail to understand. Most of Apple's customers aren't students or kids with excess time on their hand -- they're...

    Base 13" MBP or top 15" for web dev?

    Second this. You can get the 27" Retina iMac with 32GB of RAM, 2TB Fusion Drive, and M395X all for around the same price as the fully spec'd MacBook Pro. Choice should be a no-brainer if you don't need the mobility.

    Cellular Insights: Intel modem in iPhone 7 worse than Qualcomm

    What? LOL You hate them because they make products that a lot of people love? Doesn't make much sense. The performance issues are overblown. The phone works as advertised, and there's no basis for accusations of gimping or false advertising.

    Apple Event 2016-10-27 -- New Macs finally

    Apple isn't going to switch to Nvidia. Apple supports OpenCL and prefers GCN's compute focus. The lack of support for RAM above 16GB is a bit baffling. While Skylake doesn't support DDR4L, DDR4's low operating voltage should still be as low as DDR3L.

    Apple now pushing LG displays, instead of their own

    Except the Cinema Display and Thunderbolt Display never competed with other displays. They were catered to Mac users who were prepared to pay a premium to attach their Mac Pro, Mac Mini, and MacBook Pro, or as a dual monitor setup with their iMac. That last group of users are probably feeling...

    Apple Event 2016-10-27 -- New Macs finally

    Okay, I've had some time to process my views on the Apple event. Overall, I'm severely disappointed with what Apple is doing to the Mac lineup. New MacBook Pro 15": This is a pretty impressive looking machine. Four TB3 ports is mightily impressive, and should offer plenty of expansion...

    Apple Event 2016-10-27 -- New Macs finally

    After changing to a job where I need to have a computer on me all the time, I'm really looking to offload my 15" MBP. I'll miss the performance and screen real-estate. But oh well, I've built the Hac Pro for all the grunt work at home. Also, because of the MBP, my shoulders are killing me --...

    Get the Pro 12.9 or wait?1

    Yep, I agree with most of this. Another anecdote, but I have a friend with an iPad Pro 12.9, and he really does make the most of its functionality. He does a 2D graphics work such as drawing, photo editing, corporate graphics design (websites, images, logos, text and so on), and so for him the...

    Apple A10 Fusion is ** Quad-core big.LITTLE **

    I echo a lot of what Eug said above, but the iPhone 4 was very well engineered. The CPU was brisk, the battery life was amazing, the retina display was revolutionary and iOS 4 was a great mobile OS to use. Even the antenna gate issue was overblown, IMO. I purchased mine at launch and used it up...
