The real question is is how much sony is going to pay verizon and comcast for priority on their networks, then we have that whole monthly bandwidth alotment.

Their highest end FX chips dont have any onboard graphics and are still terrible.

Back in those days I watched a Circuit City guy tell someone to get a Pentium 4 system if he wanted great performance because AMD was a cheap budget brand.

AMD was/is a cheap budget brand. They always have been.

Apple switched to Intel during AMD's hayday as well. This is a totally blind guess to me but I assume things like that and superior supply chain management are more important to these guys than just CPU benchmarks

The big deal with intel was performance per watt.

OEMs probably don't care about a regular consumer's power bill and your average Joe consumer had no concept of what that was 10 years ago

Its not about power bills, its about laptop battery life.

Oh I see, you're talking about power/performance with Intel chips for laptops, not that the big (negative) deal with Intel being bad performance per watt on desktop.

Apple moved to intel when intel moved to core.

So are there any new iterations of killer CPU's coming out from intel any time soon? I am looking to build a new ridiculous system (because I'm a fat nerd) but I am gating myself by CPU and GPU releases.

Broadwell comes out next year. Haswell-E comes out really soon.

They are losing money and have no new products in the direct pipeline. The only new products they do have they can't produce many because of yield problems.

I don't consider Intel's new thing of not including a heatsink with K parts to be a bad thing. I do not know anyone who does not run an aftermarket cooler on K parts anyways, except when said aftermarket heatsink doesn't work, either because of DOA or age, and even then, only as a stopgap measure.

The 4790k was actually faster than the 4790 so there is a use case for people who dont care about overclocking and poo poo to just use the stock heatsink.

I know mine came in box with no heatsink and specifically warned you that you had to buy your own.

They were originally only sold to large OEMs because installing them in the wrong boards could kill motherboards.

That sounds like a bad grounding issue. Pull it out the case, boot it up on a boardboard box (or the plastic anti-static bag that came with it).

Do not set a board on top of an anti static bag and turn it on.

You can shut down 8 or 10 while holding shift and you get an option to boot to UEFI BIOS settings.

Asus boards let you wire your reset button to a boot bios button also.

I dont understand people saying the cards may be crippled because amd taped up all the pci vents to keep people from taking pictures. Why would AMD purposely gimp their poo poo during their event.

They could just put the computers under a desk

Doesn't all the BIOS and everything being on chip also allow from four much less expensive motherboards? AMD might be chipping down cost in both directions.

A bios chip doesn't cost very much.

I'm assuming Gigabyte is still poo poo for motherboards? It looks like Gigabyte and MSI are the only two with mATX at launch, so that'd leave MSI I guess as the choice.

Edit - never mind, looks like ASUS and Asrock will too. So Asrock might be the best bet?

Ive built out hundreds of gigabyte boards and they are fine.

AMD should have copied the 115x mounting points. Though i guess it still wouldn't make intel coolers compatible due to height.

I thought the NDA's lifted on the 28th?

If you go by what you see on Reditt yeah its a shitfest. Here and other places (ie. Ars, Anand, OCUK, etc.) its nowhere near like that.

Really judging anything by what you see on Reditt at this point is probably pointless. Exception would seem to be Trump voters but that is a whole other shitshow I'd prefer not to go into.

Is there any indication you need that or that is what they're doing though? What leaks I've seen so far is maybe they're forcing 1T command rates but that is something else altogether.
