Around 2000-2004 I built a ton of cheap PCs for family members and those things all failed within a year or two. I don't know if I should blame bad capacitors in general or direct my hatred at Biostar in particular.

I'm not impressed by the integrated graphics in that Anandtech test. Faster than the previous gen, wow. They're also testing the top-end model and the iGPU in the average mid-to-low end will be cut down significantly from that.

I can't claim to be an early adopter, but I first used a SSD in the computer I built right when Windows 7 came out. It was a X25-M which lives on in someone else's laptop. It's been almost 10 years for that one. On a Samsung EVO now. I recently set up a new (but built out of old parts) computer to do some video capture and storage and used a hard drive for its OS because that's what I had laying around. I didn't expect the difference would be so great just doing basic Windows stuff, but it's really painful.

Seems to me Intel CPUs now have the same problem as AMD GPUs, they're basically factory overclocked to within an inch of their lives, without saying so. It's not sustainable but they can just hope it keeps them competitive until a future architecture is better.

Intel is never, ever going to catch up with GPUs for floating point math, why would you push your cpu to do a thing your GPU can do in half the time for half the power? it lets Intel put out a benchmark that makes their CPU look better than AMD at something

punk rebel ecks posted:It's crazy how thing have managed to completely flip, but the time for it to be possible checks out. I can't believe it's been almost ten years since the Bulldozer fiasco. I wonder if Intel is in a worse position now than AMD was in 2011? I think I'd compare it more to Pentium 4 vs. Athlon 64. Intel is still able to (for now) brute force their way to the top of some benchmarks if you don't care about power and heat, and is still the bigger company sold in more systems. There's no excuse for computer enthusiasts to buy Intel but some will anyway.

I'm still using a Xeon w3690 (aka Core i7 990X). But I am replacing it soon. I actually don't think I need markedly more CPU power than an old 6c/12t Gulftown. But the rest of the X58 platform is letting me down. DDR3 I can't upgrade further without throwing good money after bad, slow SSD speeds, slow PCIe speeds and needing add-on cards for USB 3 ports. I also feel a burning desire to trace rays, but any better video card will be CPU-bound at this point.

Cygni posted:I mean the first (and arguably most important) Xe implementation is launching September 2nd so yeah. The Xe is cancelled!!! rumor is horseshit. Even if you give the rumor mongering dorks the benefit of the doubt and say "they MEANT to say discrete Xe", thats also not gonna happen. Intel has firm orders for Xe HPC and already booked the TSMC capacity for it, so i firmly doubt its anywhere near cancelled. Yeah I am guessing Xe will drop dead as a consumer discrete graphics card. Intel will get its money's worth (probably) in improved integrated graphics and HPC sales. I'll be shocked and amazed if they deliver a competitive high end gaming card.

VorpalFish posted:I've been seeing stuff around suggesting they're looking to push BIG.little / asymmetrical core designs which is certainly unusual in x86 land, but I can't for the life of me see the value proposition for desktop. Maybe someone smarter than me can figure it out. I wonder if we're going to see Intel make stuff like 6c/8t processors where you have four little cores and two big ones with HT. Or they could play other dumb market segmentation tricks with HT like 4c/6t processors.

in a rare use of monopoly power for the common good, Microsoft looked at Itanium, said "lol gently caress you" and wrote 64-bit Windows on AMD's x64 design (though some versions of Windows Server did run on IA-64)

The i5s in the $150-200 range aren't bad options if that's your budget, cheaper and usually faster (but use more power) than the basic R5 3600. You won't have to worry about being unable to find one in a store. That's it, that's all I've gotFame Douglas posted:Maybe don't buy Intel.

gradenko_2000 posted:I think it's more that AMD has abandoned that part of the market while the gettin' is good Yeah, AMD has processors that fit that part of the market- their 4 and 6 core APUs- they just can't make nearly enough of them to sell at retail since it's all competing for the same 7nm wafers. I think they'd sell boxed 4350/4650/4750s if they could. But the margins are higher on everything else.

I was running a Z400 with a w3690 and a GTX 1070 on its stock 475W power supply and it was fine. It never had a problem, but when I retired that machine a couple years ago I took a close look in it and there were several leaking capacitors on the motherboard

I think if you look at like the 9W-15W ULV notebook processors and ignore the max turbo speed they can't maintain very long, the clocks are probably a lot more comparable to ARM CPUs in the same power range.

The stock mounting is probably not an issue with non-overclocked i5/i3/Pentiums system builders use by the millions because they have far less power going in and heat coming out than an i9, but for someone looking for peak performance, 6C is a world of difference
