Best HSFU for skt370 was the golden orb. It had a 60mm fan!

Years later you came to realize what a piece of poo poo it was as it had very little surface area compare to a normal looking cooler. It did look 'cool' though..

JawnV6 works or has worked at Intel, is trying to prove you wrong and is just being an rear end about it. Like always.

Eh it's always good to see a good smackdown of baseless assumptions. As it's hard to say one is better than the other since manually laid out core blocks can be faster than the automatic layout sometimes.

The only problem with the low end boards is that RAM is so expensive, which makes it hard to argue to cheap out on the CPU. Pairing a $60 mobo with a $60 Pentium gold would be cool, but when 8GB of RAM is $80 it's hard to argue against spending an extra 50 to get an i3 with double the cores of the Pentium. And then at that point, you have to consider if a 2200G might be a better option altogether.
Why would a cheap computer has 8GB of ram?

Even something like a cheap Mac Mini only has 4GB of ram and you can get away with 2GB ram in Windows 10 just fine.

Is there any technical reason for them to not use liquid metal like every other delid-relid overclockers have been doing?

Possible LM flowing to the wrong place? or is it not that good of a long term solution?

Yeah, there was a long period where AMD had decent chips but the chipsets available for them were fuckin’ awful.

After loving around with crash-prone AMD/VIA systems, I swore I’d buy only Intel, and until the dual-core Athlon64/nForce combo became available, I suffered along with hot-running Netburst chips, ‘cause they were at least stable.

Hot take: VIA did more to hurt AMD than Intel did

Having an intel cpu but with VIA chipset also ruined its stability. The Abit VP6 with VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset running dual p3 was really something back in the day but would crash if you look at it wrong. While having pretty much any intel cpu with intel chipset would be rock solid.

What the gently caress is intel doing when '7nm equivalent' already exist in mobile phones and devices millions of people are using daily.

All I can picture is this old man turning the lights on, wiping off the cobwebs with his thermally greased hands, cigarrette hanging from his mouth, turns on the 22nm fab, smoke billowing from the depths, he grunts out a "c'mon Bessie" as he pokes it with his broom and out pops the first run of chips.
Thanks for this post.




Also looks like GF is just going to be on a long slow death before getting absorbed by one of the other players.

im so mad watching these knowing that they could've advanced their fab to like 7nm/5nm by now and have something comparable to the apple arm stuff instead of dicking around and giving us something that will instantly peg to 100c while still being slower

and lol @ inte's tigerlake backport that pegs to 100c when using avx512


fyi intel's 14nm broadwell came out 2014/2015, jesus christ have we ever been stuck on the same node for 6~7 years before?
