Their main focus is on maximum profits and market shares. And that’s where the Jokebook chips come in. Re-use same chips for desktops only make sense. For them. Not the power enthusiasts. 100% more baby cores for coming laptops is the only option they have to stay within the TDP target for laptops cooling. More P-cores would push all cores boost clock frequency down the drain. AMD will offer an 40% performance increase for 7000 series chips. And Alder lake can barely offer same performance as AMDs soon EOL chips from 2020. Raptor lake won’t be able to offer a 40% performance increase over Alder lake. And Intel will once again be pushed back to before AMD started with Ryzen chips. 1 steps forward and two steps backwards with those modern E-cores. Awful progress. People asked for more cores. And Intel delivered, LOOL More bling bling…. People can’t get enough….

Does a humidifier help? Or do you need more than one (for different rooms) due the extreme climate? You live in a dust and hot hell. I live in the oppsite climate. Loads of rain, wind, humid weather, Snow, cold (even in the summer) and the dreaded dark season that force you to eat D-vitamines, lots of fish to survive (no sun at all). And I as you. Hate it as hell. -

I hate shoelaces. One of many reasons I bought Viking shoes with BOA closure system. Same reason I go for the Crocs. Fast and easy locking. And Ok to wear 🙂 Yep, I can have equal fun with older things. I won't pay overprices only to have the newest. I expect 4000 series will be expensive but I don't think the next gen cards will go for 2x MSRP. Look at the beauty 🙂 I'm quite sure Nvidia know but don't dare tell the truth. The press and the shareholders shouldn't know how they run its business. Nvidia will pay $5.5 million to settle charges that it unlawfully obscured how many of its graphics cards were sold to cryptocurrency miners. The US Securities and Exchange Commission announced the charges and a settlement with the company today.May 6, 2022 Nvidia fined $5.5 million over crypto mining GPU disclosures Nvidia shareholder lawsuit over crypto sales lacking, judge rules https://www.reuters.com › article › securities-nvidia-idU...

Nvidia Stock Plunges, Q2 Revenue Outlook Below Expectations Dropping 10% after-hours, despite strong 1Q results. Perhaps more telling, however, is the reduction in Nvidia's CMP (Cryptocurrency Mining Processor) cards' revenue, which the company introduced into the market as a way to lure cryptocurrency miners away from gaming-oriented GeForce cards. investors must be cautious - there's no way to know exactly what percentage of Nvidia's gaming growth is still attributable to cryptocurrency mining. As per usual, Nvidia states that it can't accurately forecast how much of its gaming GPU revenue comes from cryptomining. There you have it. Of course they won't tell the whole truth. Greed have its price. -

Even pcworld's editor finally can see the gamers being screwed... But they still give bad advices bro @Mr. Fox How to buy a budget laptop without getting screwed Why is NVIDIA allowing GeForce RTX 3060/3070 Laptop GPUs to be sold as desktop mining cards? In fact, the only purpose here is to avoid mining restrictions. And this procedure has been going for months now, without any sign of NVIDIA cracking down on it. Nvidia is just happy they could hold up the price point well above MSRP as long they can. Miners have always been their priority. Because they know the Crypto race won't last forever as their target group... The Gamers. A new baby has arrived... Yep, happy I didn't feed Nvidia and its partners wallets with double MSRP for Ampere cards due their nasty way to increase profits (see above) Point of View Nvidia Geforce 580 The crocks is back bro @electrosoft 😄 https://hwbot.org/submission/5004336_papusan_3dmark___cloud_gate_geforce_gtx_980_69275_marks https://hwbot.org/submission/5004353_papusan_3dmark06_geforce_gtx_980_76031_marks https://hwbot.org/submission/5004264_papusan_3dmark06_geforce_gtx_670_63383_marks https://hwbot.org/submission/5004336_papusan_3dmark___cloud_gate_geforce_gtx_980_69275_marks https://hwbot.org/submission/5004269_papusan_3dmark___sky_diver_geforce_gtx_670_29024_marks -

Opened up the new old and yep, the thermal stamp was totally dried out. Nothing will survive 10 years wear and tear. And I don't like such cold plate composition. Either pure copper cold plate or a VC. This type coldplates will never give you max thermal conductivity. This GTX 670 was a $440 purchase 10 years ago (equal $583.37 today) and compared to the heatsink design they use on nowadays graphics cards from same SKU line up it should have costed a lot less. Yep, nvidia and the OEM made a lot money going with a cheapo design in the old days. Bro Fox. Ready to swap out your desktop with a real Desktop Replacement?

Not a bad start with the new old. The Asic score for the GTX 670 Asus card is 78.6%. And run a bit hot but this is to be expected with a 10 years old card 🙂 Oh'well. Fast and not tuned in and got 1th, 2nd and 4th place on the first try in the benches below. https://hwbot.org/submission/5002872_papusan_3dmark05_geforce_gtx_670_89562_marks https://hwbot.org/submission/5002874_papusan_3dmark06_geforce_gtx_670_62005_marks https://hwbot.org/submission/5002877_papusan_aquamark_geforce_gtx_670_522949_marks Nice write up. But my best bet.... More and faster I/O means probably a new round wit their previous mess with 5000 series chips. More doesn't always mean better. How long have they struggled with stabillity issues? Near 2 years now. And I think the reason they won't push it out before the fall. Aka it will be 2 years after the release of 5000 series chips and this means they still have those or simular problems even with the new platform. Yep, 16 real cores will kill the Raptor Hybrid mess in all multi threaded benches/tasks but it will come with a bad taste. Everything new with this new AMD platform will be a mess the next coming 6-12 months. -

Nice write up bro. An interesting bit as bro @electrosofttalked about below. IPC and clock speed increase (in benchmarks). What do AMD really offer? Not so sure what they try to claim for the Higher single theaded boost and higher IPC. I can't find this to fits together. 15% higher single threaded bench score with higher boost clocks and included the higher IPC. What made the 15% performance increse the IPC or the higher clock speed? What I know is that Cinebench respond on both (IPC and boost clocks). What AMD show here is somewhat weird vs their statements about the performance increase. https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-7000-desktop-series-to-offer-over-15-single-thread-uplift-launch-this-fall And if you add the 15% perf increase above the older 16 cores 5950X, the new one still offer low sinlgle threaded performance and don't match IPC increase paired with the claimed much higher clock speed. It seems AMD have put all the balls in their hat and offer lower all core boost clocks due the 16 real cores and try offer higher single/double cores clock speed. Aka compete nicely with Intel in gaming and then kill them to breakfast in all cores tasks. Damn the Intel love for Hybrid and baby cores to try keep the TDP low enough to match most of the small AIO's out there. Intel can brand all their new chips with whatever they want but their chips is a power hog (one of the reasons they is forced to put in those e-cores). A small die help also on the bottom line. Aka the profits. Yep, what I see from AMD is weird numbers that don't match what they will offer. https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-amd_ryzen_9_5950x intel… Btw. I expect AMD will offer the 3D Cashe tech for the refresh next year. AMD ain’t good offer new chips every year. Re-hash the old is typical AMD. --------------------------------------------------------------- Btw. A new baby got a new home 🙂 Sorry bro @electrosoftI forgot put on my crocks😁 Hope you are happy enough with the "Norwegian" Viking Boa shoes🙃 Damn good shoes. -
Look at some Youtube videos of the Alienware X17. Cpu clock drop once you have full load on the Gpu. And adding more cores is meant to help you to run other tasks simultaneous in the background. DTR = Desktop replacement. Do more.... Even if you game🙂 Whats the point with an unlocked i9 if it's castrated to run 2.6-3.4GHz in games? And what if you want the Cpu to do more? Damn nice if the Cpu barely is able to run low boost/base clock frequency due the power sharing features to cut costs on cooling/thin over functionality. https://youtu.be/58nuAuaNjjA https://youtu.be/BfZHdj86HEE https://youtu.be/-fTc-F41P84?t=125 And dual power adapter ain't something new, if they went that route. Have been here the last 2 decades. But as all know... Dual adapters doesn't fit in with thin and slim. Aka design over functionality. Just wait for next gen crippling... Normal Power adapters (280-330W) willl be gooner/gone and the new modern slim 240/250W USB-C adapters is all what you'll get for your gaming-book. Yep, Dynamic Boost will come in new revision and will be more and more important.

Papusan replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
Nope, Arctic meant it looks prettier with a single power cable from the 3 fans going hided through the water cable sleeving from rad to the pump head and being connected there. Aka one cable fits all from the MB to the pump to power up everything. This means the pump will rotate at minimum if the fans run slow/low load. This is doomed to clogg up the cold plates cooling fins in the pump head before time. And this will hamper the water flow (the water will be hotter than needed). -

Papusan replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
The connection between the fans and the the pump is an retarded design from Arctic (but sadly some value it as an advantage because of less cable mess - design over functionality once again). Pump and fans should never have to be connected together as one single unit. The MB have several fan headers for a reason🙃 -
*Official Benchmark Thread* - Post it here or it didn't happen :D
Papusan replied to Mr. Fox's topic in Desktop Hardware
I expect you used the stock fans for the Artic cooler. They are all too weak and run slow. And none should connect the fans together with the pump head as the default setup. The fans is simply too weak if you want best cooling performance. + they reduce pump speed if you use the PWM signal to control the fan speed. The pump will also have a longer life if you restrict it from running slow speed or up and down as a jojo (this also hamper the cooling performance + clogging up the cold plate cooling fins). But most people value minimum fan and pump noise over functionality, sooo. What benefits will you have from sub 2.5W less power consumption pr/hour for a single Pc or 10? I can understand it if you have +1000 pc's running 24/7/365 but I don't think Arctic have this type consumers in mind. -
What a failure. 250W distributed between Cpu and Gpu is a tragedy. In the older days the GPU by itself could get 200W TDP and the Cpu got what it needed. Yep, Ultra High end ain't as before. MSI is going to reintroduce the Titan lineup with a new GT77 model. MSI claims that this is the first model to feature 250 W total CPU+GPU power where dynamic boosting for the CPU can go up to 160 W. This means the 3080 Ti GPU is left out with a wimpy 90W, LOOL @Mr. Fox @Ashtrix "By default, the CPU can operate at 75 W and the GPU at 175 W, but when the GPU is not used at its fullest, the system can allocate up to 160 W for the CPU". Yep, the fantastic modern feature as Dynamic boost help the OEMs to keep their goal as etc reduce/keep same thin chassis thickness/or use cheaper cooling. Just cripple the Graphics TDP with nasty feature to let the Cpu stretch its legs. Or just do the opposite. MSI claims that this is the first model to feature 250 W total CPU+GPU power where dynamic boosting for the CPU can go up to 160 W All the OEMs have lost the grip on what High end should be. Even Apple call their tablets (iPads) high end, soooo. This is all what you'll get nowadays if you wrap up your wallets and pay for #High End#.
