guys i heard the new generation of amd cpus might be... good?

it even clocks up to four gigahurtz. i thought the average was 2.66, this is very unsettling

sup, bitch?
everyone at Intel has been on vacation for the last four years. they just keep releasing the same CPUs every year with a new name. so far no one has noticed.

even if they bench really well, i still won't believe it.

on the other hand, the bar is so low that it would be difficult not to surpass expectations. they released a lemon architecture and locked themselves into three revisions. they gave up producing high end desktops after the first revision, and left us with a parting gift of a 220W cpu. it would have been fine if they stuck to the original roadmap, and had been done with the bulldozer nightmare in 2014. it is now 2017

im actually pretty hyped about it, they showed ryzen is the same speed as a 6900k in blender (not avx512 optimized like real 3d software) and now the price leaks show its under $500 vs $1000 for the 6900k

The intel puma 6 chipset a lot of the new high end cable modems are using is a disaster.

You can always keep an eye out for idiots selling used equipment for hilariously cheap. I scored a dual xeon e5520 w/ 48 gig ram on craigslist for like $200 last year.

i got a 8320 plus motherboard for $50 a while back and i only had to update the bios so the onboard nic would work in linux. it 's better than the q6600 it replaced. the weak link now is the laptop hard drive that holds the os. i should figure out how to move the non essential for boot crap to the big zfs fs

this is only going to drive intel's chips to be cheaper and still no one will buy amd so this is, in the end, a good thing

I've gone full AMD

looks like it somehow is able to make richer blacks than my previous card (gtx 750), maybe it was configured wrong?

Nvidia drivers have a weird default where they don't let dark areas get too dark if using hardware rgb -> yuv conversion. It's dumb and bad but you can perma-disable it in one click
