GPUs & CPUs & Enthusiast hardware: Questions, Discussion and fanboy slap-fights - Nvidia & AMD & Intel - Separe but Equal. Intel rides in the back of the bus.

My RAM started transitioning to ROM recently.

eDRAM is similar to ED men in that it doesn't "last long" and can't "go far".

Who makes a gaming mouse that doesn't fail in 18 months?

Consistently, my Logitechs have outlasted Steelseries. The latter I've had to return twice within the span of a year. When it failed again, I said fuck this and got another Logitech that lasted for over 2 years before it had minor scroll wheel issues.

I've had a white logo Zowie that took over two years of gaming abuse and was still functional when I gave up on it to switch to wireless Logitechs. When I took it out of storage, it still worked but started double clicking a few weeks later.

My logitech headphones and keyboards have been poop from a butt. You're saying their mice are still good? Come to think of it, my wife's had one for 4-5 years now.

I wont lie, I almost do hope intel does make a turn around and starts making headway into the GPU market. Intel fuckery aside, Nvidia and AMD need to pull their heads out of their asses and stop charging so goddamn much for shit performance increases. It cant last either; the economy is the worst it's been since 08 easily; with hiring rates being identical to peak 08 recession, among other things like revolving consumer credit (IE credit cards) being low due to people either being maxed out on credit, or tightening their belts.

this is intel, it will be just as expensive if not more.

unless you want to prompt your own porn or play AAAA slop at 30 fps, no need to buy a new gpu anyway.

Time will tell, I recently got a new one. The previous ones lasted 2 years and a few months.

Committed to wireless now.

Found a good article that I'd like to share. It's about "Cannon Lake", aka Intel's first production 10nm chips.
Article

In short:

• This was during the 14nm++++++++ era
• Intel needs to prove to their shareholders that they're going to move on
• However, it wasn't at all ready yet for mass production, yields are fucking terrible
• The only chip under this codename is the Core i3-8121U, a dual-core mobile i3 that doesn't even have a functioning iGPU
• The few laptops that did use this chip had to resort to a dedicated GPU, I believe Radeons were common
• Also since the 10nm process wasn't fully baked, it's horribly inefficient and unoptimized, even worse than 14nm in some tests

Probably the funniest shitshow people don't know about.

Mouse4 recently decided to start identifying as a potato. This was an expensive Corsair mouse, too, I think about 2 years old now. All the buttons on my 2001 Microsoft Intellimouse still work. Stupid garbage chinktronics. Both of the Steelseries mice I bought had button failures within a year or two of purchase, too.

My G502 is 5 years going strong. Will make repairs to it soon.

My RAM identifies as ECC today.

But the motherboard doesn't support it heheh

Other bizarro products include Kaby Lake G with on-package discrete Radeon graphics and HBM2, the miserably performing 3D stacked Lakefield, and the only two Broadwell desktop CPUs, both with 128 MiB L4 cache.

Rocket Lake was kind of like the opposite of the Cannon Lake maneuver, backporting Sunny Cove to 14nm. It was called a waste of sand but the 11500/11600(T) are interesting parts that gain some IPC over Comet Lake, Gen12 graphics, and AV1 decode. The top of the stack used too much power and had to regress from 10 to 8 cores.

Oh boy, wait until you find out about the iAPX432, a processor built specifically for the Ada language, implementing high order language functions directly in hardware. It's a processor that, among other questionable things, does its own garbage collection. Performed horribly, as one would expect. It was designed to be a high performance mainframe chip, but ended up drastically outperformed by the 286, a low-end home computer chip designed for the PC/AT. Texas Instruments made handheld calculators (handheld by the standards of the 80s, mind) with better performance!

Nice. Can't wait for this bad boy to become real too.

Reminder that GPUs only exist because developers refuse to properly optimize their software renderers.

finally my mobo has been delivered, now i can go from a 1400 to a 2700 due to pci3.0 limitation, even got that LED wraith spire with it as a "bundle".
though i wish i could find a vega 64 for a price that isn't completely retarded, i guess i'll have to settle for a chinkenese RX580 because it's red, even got a shitty red SSD heatsink and all, will go almost all red setup because of the hyper X memory i got then i will be fucking done with pc's until consumer grade DDR6 memories are out.
might post a picture in here for you nigs once i'm finished assembling the pc.

I'm a large ape man with retard-strong hands who regularly wears out both keyboards and mice just with 'normal' use. After many years of suffering, there are two brands I now swear by for their reliability and robustness - Realforce for keyboards, and Logitech for mice.

Nice. Can't wait for this bad boy to become real too.

I mean, we did have dedicated Java acceleration hardware in ARM SoCs for a long time...
