There's no way to be certain what demand will be like either. Just wait 2 days for them to come out and you'll have your answer.

Kashwashwa posted:I'm flabbergasted by the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Plus... I'm running voltage at 1.35 instead of 1.32 now, and my temps went from 78s (on stock cooler) to 55s under full load. You actually probably don't want to go much above 1.35 volts, and 4.4 is a decent overclock. You have to remember that not all chips will be the same. And honestly, you're never going to notice a difference between 4.4 and 4.8 anyway.

Paul MaudDib posted:On one hand, you're wrong, there's still close to 20% headroom to squeeze out on an 8700K and it's pretty easy to get them to at least 4.8/4.9 even without delidding. That's not really value-based overclocking though. You get a decent performance bump, but you pay more for the CPU, motherboard, and heatsink, and have ongoing higher electric bills.

Upgrading with the saved money more frequently. For example, buying a new video card every 3 years instead of every 4. The analogy works less well for processors because of how stagnant performance has been. Unless you're buying the latest equipment every year or two and don't care about money, saving that money for future upgrades instead of paying more to push your current stuff makes more sense for most people.

For a home user it's probably not going to matter much. In a datacenter that gets targeted by national spy agencies, it's a huge problem. Given the reach we know the NSA had 5 years ago with Snowden, I'm sure they're well on their way to exploiting the poo poo out of this along with every other major country. Since so much of the money Intel makes comes from the server market, it's going to be really hard to continue downplaying it.

They're obviously not hurting for money. I'm not sure why you'd defend a company making their products artificially crappier other than ~capitalism~

I get why it happens. I know that market segmentation gets companies like Intel more money. But artificially crippling products to make more money is dumb, and defending it is dumb.

K8.0 posted:So if Intel did no market segmentation, and everything was (and thus was priced as) a Xeon, you'd be happier, because a desktop CPU costs $2k but at least there's no market segmentation? I didn't articulate it well, but I'm fine with them making different processors for different purposes. But disabling functionality on an existing processor to hold out for a payout is too much to me. Like I said, they're making money hand over fist, it's just going the extra mile to wring money out of people at that point.

People have been railing in this thread against Intel artificially limiting their processor improvements for years due to lack of competition. I don't get why my mentioning them limiting their processors in another way is so contentious.

I don't think Intel is the only one that does it. It's annoying when any company does it, but this is the Intel thread. A Pentium is physically a different processor. Charging more for hyperthreading is stupid though, especially given its security issues

Yeah and Comcast spends a ton of money on infrastructure and makes much more money from TV services than internet. But I'm guessing you're not going into threads defending their anti-consumer lobbying habits via the FCC or price gouging on services. Intel is making more profit per quarter than ever, obviously manufacturing costs aren't hurting them even if they can't crank out 10nm after 5 years.

HalloKitty posted:I personally would never use an 'appliance' as a media centre, they lock you in to all kinds of bullshit, and convince people that transcoding video on-the-fly is actually a reasonable use of resources. I have an HTPC too, but they really are obsolete right now unless you want to watch weird pirate streams that only load in a browser. Even then, you can use a Chromecast. A shield does just about everything, uses less power, and you don't have to use a hodgepodge of software to get your old MCE remote working properly.

Sphyre posted:What are the temperatures, now that the side of your case is open, under the same load that was causing your temperatures to hit 85 degrees celsius previously? I had an instance where I plugged my fan into CPU2 instead of CPU1 thinking it didn't matter, but the PWM for CPU2 based itself off of motherboard temperature instead of CPU, so it never spun up. Maybe something like that happened there.

Eletriarnation posted:I can't really bring myself to throw it away since it was my first new desktop and as far as I know still works flawlessly, but I increasingly suspect I'll never have a use for it again. Even if I found a use for which it was capable, power use compared to a newer system makes that not a good idea. Using it as a classic gaming machine has some superficial appeal but when I consider the difficulty involved in setting up a new install of Windows XP in 2020, I think I'll try to stick to VMs and GOG ports. I just kept my first processor for nostalgia and recycled the rest.

priznat posted:I will love it if that 24 pin connector goes the way of the dodo! Yep, I got a refurbished EVGA PSU, and they gave me a SATA power cable meant for another one of their PSU lines. It plugged in fine, but when I used it, the computer wouldn't even boot (probably a ground fault). Luckily it didn't fry anything, but it's still incredibly stupid that manufacturers can't standardize it within their own lines because they're just buying stuff from third parties and slapping their names on them.

Personal computer is a pretty broad term, and different than IBM's PC Compatible. If you just go by the definition of multipurpose computer for an individual, you could easily argue the 360, wii, and PS3 qualified since they let you browse the internet and play back media in addition to playing games.

akadajet posted:Sure, but when people say "the xbone is a pc" they are talking about a PC compatible. A lot of modern PCs aren't PC compatible any more either though. They can't run original DOS any more because the compatibility options are no longer there in some EFI startup environments. The term is fuzzy. Also, if the systems weren't locked down by the vendors, I'm sure you could get modern OSes running on them.

DrDork posted:They're not in a great spot right this moment, but thinking that Intel somehow can't maneuver themselves back into a good spot is, I think, a mistake. I'm 50/50 on them being ok long term vs a permanent slow decline. Their 10nm is still obviously having issues, and 7nm is also hosed until at least late 2022/2023 and they're considering moving to third party fabrication. It's not like there's a ton of cheap spare capacity on new nodes, so if they're even considering that, they're pretty desperate.

Putting together a cheapish gaming system for a friend this spring and it seems like a good deal. Assuming you can get it for the rumored $200/€200, then yeah, it will probably compare pretty favorably to AMD's current offerings.
