Is it basically a forgone conclusion that both the Xbox and Playstation platforms will be sticking with an AMD based x86 platform with AMD graphics for the time being? Seems like a win all around, but just curious.

This seems weird to me. I haven't owned a console since the Super Nintendo, so excuse what may be a dumb question, but...doesn't this mean that the two base systems will be fairly similar to one another? If so, the only substantive differentiations will the online ecosystems and any locked-up exclusives?

Hi, I’m dumb and I have a dumb question that I’ve always wondered about: what’s the point of placing two ethernet ports on desktop mobos? What’s the second one used for?

I'm really fed up with these dumbass naming schemes. I went on Crucial's website to see about ram for a 3700x and there were QVLs for "Matisse" and "Renoir." Look, I'm a dude that has a computer that I like to tinker around with, but I'm not currently plugged into the micro-architecture scene -- how the gently caress am I supposed to know what internal naming scheme AMD uses for a goddamn product I own and how in god's name would I locate this info anywhere?

Goddamn I wish these silicon valley fucks would invent Google so I could look things up.

AMD Ark would be cool, but chill my dude. If you're looking at QVLs, you can Google "AMD Matisse wikichip" and find this website:

https://en.wikichip.org/wiki/amd/cores/matisse

You're assuming I should know that "matisse" applies to the internal cpu micro-architecture naming scheme and not some code name for a chipset, or certain type of memory. It's not presented in a way that clues me in on what I'm searching for. I found out eventually, via that cool google site you recommended, but c'mon.

LOL at having a hard drive. How cute. I saved up my money so I could finally buy a second 5.25" floppy drive for my Atari 800. The drive was >$300 and was the size of a shoebox, but with it, I could finally start copying my friends' games in a serious way.

The niche is a lot smaller now that normal Ryzens go up to 16 cores, right? Epyc is there if you have lots of money and want a bajillion cores. The combo of high clocks and lots of cores must be entirely thermally limited now.

Yeah, makes sense. I hadn't come across a threadripper reference in quite some time, but have seen the occasional Epyc mention here and there. I was just wondering. Thanks!

My firm is rolling out new laptop replacements and decided on a model with the "AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U processor," whatever that is. In any case, it's got 8-cores which strikes me as completely unnecessary for corporate drones like me.

Gonna finally retire the ol' Westmere and go AMD. Got a new board and memory. Water loop with a ridiculous gently caress-off radiator too. Because I've been holed up in my garage for the last 10 months so why the hell not?

Anyhoo. What's the general state of affairs for 5950x availability? Are there any places in particular that get them in stock or should I not even bother for a while?

It's hard to comprehend now but at one point the 2700X was available for $130 at times which was a great deal, those days are long gone though and you should just buy a 3600.

sigh, if only we had clapped. just clapped. that's all it would have taken.
