It could have gone up (I think the EU/ UK will increase, we'll see). Still haven't heard anything on motherboard pricing (those motherboards with 20 powerstages aren't going to be cheap!). Given the platform costs, the l

I'm impressesed by the initial performance numbers, the price, PCIe 5.0, Having 8 lanes to the PCH instead of 4, 10gbe on most motherboards. It's good that AMD is continueing the trend where users don't have to upgrade their

It's good that AMD doubled the lanes on the PCH as 4 was a real limit (some of the higher-end motherboards have 3xM.2s plus Wifi etc hanging off the PCH, so definately a bottleneck).

Do you have a source for this, as far as I can tell this is hearsay?

Yeah a lot of US news sites block Europe (and UK), a VPN is handy. Here's an unblocked source: https://www.vice.com/en/article/88ab33/hacker-poison-florida...

The lack of airflow is probably to limit coil whine. I think the main fault with X570 is that it doesn't save power at idle (PCIe supports downclocking links to save power, actually hot-swappable), but it appears to run all the lanes a

What I find most shocking about this, was that they banned the Press Secretary to the White House's Twitter account - That's the part I cannot get my head around.

As far as I'm aware it's only B vitamins that aren't toxic in high volumes. I take 1,500ug of B12 (60,000% nrv - B12 has fairly poor adoption) for a nervous system disorder, seems to stops my toes going purple...

A lot of buildings used in rural areas definitely aren't aesthetic pleasing, massive industrial buildings where the primary concern is build cost. They provide jobs to the region so people treat it as a necessary evil. People need jobs

How did the article not mention extension methods, when that's arguably the only true use case (many are against such methods). I'm a big C# fan, I like a lot about the language, but the inheritance is especially cumbersome and it

What strikes me as odd (aside from the massive shockwave), is how there were no fireballs, all other fertilizer fires have bright explosions. It's burnt rather than detonated. Here, all of the fertilizer ignited faster than the speed o

I get the intention, and if it wasn't obvious in my previous post; I have dyslexia. Font sizing on computer screens is complex, fonts don't scale perfectly, they have sweet spots where line thickness spills over. When you configur

That font is hideous! It only extenuates the bottom of the text, especially on capitals which don't need enhancing because they're already in CAPS. Paragraphs of text in caps just become noise, blocks of letters rather than words.

I'm quite a big fan of json.org it outlines the JSON specification in a handful of diagrams and a small amount of text, it's so simple and elegant.

That isn't a lot of data, at 4G speeds (~35Mbps) that will last less than 10 minutes. What benefit is there to make it run out even faster? The biggest issue with 4G is the price, with 5G's limited range it will cost a fortune to

The efficiency at load is great, the power usage at idle could use some improvement (I feel there's a missing update). My previous system (6700k boasting to 4.6ghz) used about 50 watts at idle (from the wall). After I switched motherbo

Wow, that is some bias. Sure, these are great CPUs (I have a 3950x myself), but there is something needs to be mentioned: AMD has artificially restricted the memory limit. They have a max configuration of 256GB. I get that they want to segm
