I, for one, am going to be super glad when overclocking is dead, because buying a chip that can do 37ghz but running it at 35 just feels like leaving money on the table for no reason, but on the other hand I don't want to spend 6 hours figuring out what freq it'll top out at so if the chipmaker does that bit for me that's better as far as I'm concerned.

The most hilarious thing about bulldozer is that apparently it aged better than sandy bridge? Weren't there benchmarks recently showing that in brand new games, i7-2600k is just slightly ahead of bulldozers? I might be misremembering.

It's only about 7 years too late in getting there, but I found it funny. :v:

The cursor thing was present on windows over many manufacturers/drivers (even since before the duopoly) for me. I've never seen it on any other OS though. :shrug:

If nvidia and intel make a workaround for some bullshit microsoft hosed up that's really nice of them, but ultimately it's still microsoft's fault, and good on MS for finally fixing their poo poo I guess?

Of course, now that ring -2 on unpatched intel cpus is exploitable, you can probably just find and dump any current and future keys, lol

Publishers of games that can be beaten offline keep adding more and more copy protection, but it’s also gotten to the point where you see legitimate owners bitching about the overhead. It rendered Assassin’s Creed Origins unplayable on less than 8 threads.

I'm going to argue people should keep stealing games that do this until they take a hint or stop making them. I've been arguing it since the early 00s when copyprotection literally broke people's hardware on a few occasions lol.

Then again the only high budget games I've played in the last ~10 years are also online ones I can play with friends, and those don't need DRM since you log into their servers to play in the first place like you said.

Also I don't think talking about jailbreaks gets you banned on SA.

Almost everything ever is memory latency sensitive. :confused:

Unless your use case is running cinebench, you'll see a noticeable hit going from 2x2950 to 1x2990.

All numbers in the wild right now should be taken with a huge spoon of salt, because microsoft is loving something up. Yes, it's phoronix, but numbers are numbers and their windows numbers seem to be roughly on par with anandtech's: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=2990wx-linux-windows

It's not a problem isolated to AMD either, i've had tons of lovely problems with nvidia gpus too, because they report device IDs modified by OEMs. And then you have to disable driver signing or run ancient drivers that don't support poo poo, yay.
