@Mr. FoxThe way all Windows versions should have worked. Optional options. Microsoft force the gamer-kids and aunt mary Secure boot and whatever. But corps that need more security can do whatever they want. Disgusting? Windows 11 LTSC 2024 arrives making TPM and Secure Boot optional — lower storage requirements, too

Thanks 🙂 This is the benchmark thread. A stripped down OS coming from Microsoft should also apply in this thread 🙂 What OS you use is important for benching. I can also put it in the Windows 11 thread.

What brand and type Liquid metal have you used? Maybe change brand and type Liquid metal. They are mixed differently so maybe you could try that. @Mr. FoxThe way all Windows versions should have worked. Optional options.

Hmmm. Soon, maybe US citizens will be blessed with even more expensive hardware. 25% tax will soften the need for buying new hardware. With 25% tax tariff you all will get Norwegian prices. Not cool. PC gamers face higher hardware costs as tariffs on Chinese goods set to return Graphics cards, motherboards, and desktop PC case prices could increase by 25%

As you have seen... UL don't bother with CPU tests anymore. All their new benchmarks is only GPU tests. They have forgot that processors is the bottleneck for almost every screen resolution in games nowadays. Remember higher numbers will boost GPU sales. Maybe Microsoft gave them an advice.... Or recommandation. Not fun seeing the Cpu scores sink after every new OS update😁 One morre reason to not force Bitlocker on every PC system. How difficult is it to add in a pop up screen feature that let you opt in after you have logged into your OS first time after OS install? It's my pc. No one should force me to use features I don't want and that let Microsoft save the key in their servers. Vanilla pc users can't deal with such. Consumers will be their next goal. "ShrinkLocker" ransomware uses BitLocker against you

But.......... UL say so. Then expect the tech reviewers will follow what UL say. Now, it’s time to share a sneak peek of what’s coming next. Here are some preview screenshots for 3DMark Steel Nomad, our successor to 3DMark Time Spy. It’s been more than seven years since we launched Time Spy, and after more than 42 million submitted results, we think it’s time for a new heavy non-ray-tracing benchmark. https://benchmarks.ul.com/news/introducing-3dmark-steel-nomad-the-successor-to-3dmark-time-spy And I can't confirm it.... But this is quite persverse if correct. Maybe Hwbot will require (mandatory) that you buy 4K monitor for this benchmard for easier moderation?😁 Or that UL send an 4K screen for free for Hwbot users😂 https://community.hwbot.org/topic/234462-3dmark-steel-nomad/#elControls_667632_menu https://community.hwbot.org/topic/234462-3dmark-steel-nomad/?do=findComment&comment=667656 The modern search is totally USELESS. Only idiots make such search style. I hated it from first day.... and thats many years ago. Whats weird.... They don't understand that their own junk is trash. Btw. The forum is slow to respond (loading and saving). Slow in everything @Reciever Have been so the last couple of days. If not longer. Microsoft developed DirectX API (NVIDIA has partnered closely with Microsoft support on GeForce GPUs). And as UL say.... NVIDIA DX12 vs Vulkan perf difference is most likely driver-related and could change. Microsoft prefer clogging down your PC so you need to upgrade before you have to. And worse for every new Windows version. In short... They create trash for the pc users that don't bother how they PC's works. Vulkan vs. DirectX 12: Which Should You Choose? Vulkan is a low-overhead API and can require fewer system resources, such as CPU computation, memory, and bandwidth, than DirectX. This makes it a potentially better option than DirectX 12 on lower-spec computers. Or at least, computers with a less capable CPU.

First.... We already have mobile processors with phone cores as desktop processors. Now we will get laptop memory modules as well. Desktops will forwards be watered down to stationary Jokebooks. Not DTR but desktops with mobile hardware. Nice. You like the tech trend @Mr. Fox?😁 From Tomshardware's tech editor....... It's great to see MSI giving us a sneak peek at what the CAMM2 memory standard can do on desktops with its new Z790 motherboard. MSI delivers first motherboard with CAMM2 memory — Z790 Project Zero brings new RAM standard to desktops JEDEC's new CAMM2 memory design has been primarily advertised as a laptop-designed memory module. While that may be the case, not many know that the CAMM2 JEDEC standard also features desktop support. MSI has partnered with Kingston to purportedly build the world's first Z790 desktop motherboard with CAMM2 memory. The new board will be showcased at Computex 2024 early next month.

What I don't grasp.... The US government washing their hands and do nothing about it. And Microsoft is a US company. They could if they wanted. But Microsofts servers is open as a wide door for the US govenments. So thats that. They all want your privacy and data. Equal bad as China. Only more hidden. They are all crooks. But the biggest crooks is the people and politicians in the government and their departments that allow it.

Google's new AI summaries are getting advertising https://www.sweclockers.com/nyhet/38868-googles-nya-ai-sammanfattningar-far-reklam Anyone who thought that AI overviews could be used to get a quick summary of their questions without simultaneously receiving sponsor messages may be disappointed. No one who has followed developments in recent years should be surprised, however, as Google has been accused of degrading its own search service in order to make more money from users' searches.

As you know.... Microsoft will make Bitlocker encryption enabled as default for the next new and shiny. A very bad idea. I have already posted about that in older posts. Here's the reason for this stupid move.... Microsoft says that all of this data is encrypted using BitLocker tied to the user's Windows account and is not shared with other users on the same device. Yup, bitlocker is needed to push this spy box on the users. Yes, you can block apps from being screenshotted by this feature, but "most people" will just let it run without mucking around with the feature's settings. What with those that will disable Bitlocker during an clean Windows install? And what if you disable bitlocker afterwards? Will recall still work but without encryption? In short... How will Recall work without you running bitlocker on your system? And what will the next move be? Make changes in the kernel and force bitlocker running on all systems? Aka can't be disabled anymore. So deep integrated into the OS that Windows won't work if you try disable it. Microsoft's new Windows 11 Recall is a privacy nightmare bleepingcomputer.com And here is an angry bird hamring on the caps lock.... I did NOT ask for it and I do NOT want it. I want to REMOVE ALL AI NOW! How dare you force this down our throats without our permission! https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-delete-recall-and-all-ai-permanently/2b55f3be-6b4c-4a05-bfb8-475497603efb

I hope they alll will folow up this privacy diasaster. Microsoft Recall under scrutiny by privacy authority Hardware today 15:00 Windows' new "photographic memory" creates concerns about personal privacy. I have already seen Tech review sites say they will scrap Time Spy for the new Steel Nomad benchmark. Time Spy is old as they said gone with it. They will probably also use 3DMark Steel Nomad in the review of processors🙄 Because UL/Futuremark don't have newer gaming benchmarks that will test both the Cpu and GPU anymore. Are you game with this? Stupid have no limits. This bodes well for the upcoming graphics card launches later in the year, when we plan to switch the Steel Nomad into the usual test suite and replace the aging Time Spy. https://www.sweclockers.com/test/38821-snabbtest-3dmark-steel-nomad-visuellt-avancerat-forvanansvart-lattdrivet

Yup. And Microsoft will offer it in loads... 🤮🤢🤮 And you think Microsoft won't download what they need from "Your computer"? But what do I know. People are probably fine with all this. I really hope EU will take a good look on this. And what with security when you fill up one part of the drive with logs on everything you work with. NPU POWERED Microsoft Recall AI will log everything you do on Windows Here's more about the topic.... The comparison between Core i9-13900K and Core i3-12100F shows no difference in FPS even on a GeForce RTX 4090, although the CPU delivers almost 40 percent less performance when games are run at the CPU limit.

I'm sick of all that happens now in the tech world. I have seen 3DMARK Steel Nomad Graphics Test Benchmark on youtube. And this benchmark is their new Time Spy replacement. What a Joke. It seems UL/Futuremark still can't understand that Cpu performance is more and more important for games. But they didn't use a calory to implement some sort of an Cpu test in the new benchmark. Morons! A Time Spy replacement... What a Joke this is. But I forgot... UL also need follow the new tech trend. Yup. Of course it has to work with phones and tablets + macs.... New modern hardware need their love. For weaker hardware such as laptops and mini PCs with iGPU as well as smartphones and tablets, UL is offering the slimmed-down Steel Nomad Light version. 3D Mark announces Steel Nomad benchmark, replaces Time Spy....

Good luck if you want this installed on your PC. It seems Microsoft need to put up more servers for saving all the info they'll steal from your Pc. Todays word has to be Telemetry. Or disgusting?

Fun facts... The old vanilla CM Cryofuze with the boring gray colored paste (14W/mK) offer higher W/mK value than the new blingy colored thermal paste. Does this mean fancy colors is more important than everything for the kids/influencers? Or does it mean the new paste has to be better because it's just newer? Have you the correct answer bro @ryan? Is 12.6 more than 14.0 ? Could I be wrong in my math? What's wrong with gray paste? Not fancy enough for new modern people? We can continue talk about stupidity. What with the new slimy and small cute wireless KB with dedicated AI button for only $450 USD? Will you buy one of those bro @Mr. Fox? And do you want this awful idea enabled/installed in your OS?😁 How many will swap out their fully functional KB only because of the new added button?

This AI trend and adding puke colors start being laughable. One more stupid idea than the others. You like stupidity from Tomshardware as well? Do Cooler Master use AI to find up new fancy idiotic product names?🤔 Cooler Master introduces colored ‘AI Thermal Paste’ — CryoFuze 5 comes with nano-diamond technology Cooler Master uses the AI branding on CryoFuze 5, but there is nothing AI about a thermal paste solution. While perhaps Cooler Master could've designed it for AI processors, especially as next-generation AI chips like Intel’s Falcon Shores and Nvidia’s B100 and B200 GPUs have TDPs higher than 1,000 watts, the CryoFuze 5's thermal performance isn’t that far ahead of its competitors.

Exactly. And I tell my sons that the whole time🙂 Etc I have often fun with my middle son when he listening on music in Papusan's plaza and in his home. The music he often hear is made before he was born😁 New is always better. Nope. @ryan🤩

The trend goes the wrong way.... One of the most noticeable trends in laptop design in 2023 is the reduction of weight and thickness. According to a report by IDC, the average weight of laptops sold in India in 2023 was 1.6 kg, down from 1.8 kg in 2022. Similarly, the average thickness of laptops was 18.5 mm, compared to 20.2 mm in 2022. This makes laptops easier to carry around and fit in bags or backpacks. You think you can put 10L water in an smaller 8L plastic bag? (Less space---Worse cooling = Declined performance vs what you could have....

It seems buildzoid sneak peek and enjoy my bench results for the testing of his GTX 980. And not the first time I have seen it🤩 Btw. Ranting on AMD. Seems he hate the double ccd's for Ryzen equal as for the modern Intel Error-cores😂 And the future seems grim for next gen processors. People are happy with weak trash. And if Intel want Microsoft back they need to make more modern Cpu's to match what Microsoft and Dell preffer for their Jokebooks/tablets. The new modern @Mr. Foxdrooling already? Please use only wet cloths and not paper towels. Because vomiting smells bad inside the house. Or just go outside. The new Surface Pro with OLED display and ARM processors is now official Dell Unveils Snapdragon X Laptop Lineup: XPS 13, Inspiron 14 & Latitude Series With Elite & Plus Chips Soon there is nothing great to put inside your high end desktops. Want an desktop processor... You get tuned phone cores (clocked higher for desktop phone chips) glued on the pcb that match Intel's 1851 LGA socket😟

LOOL. a good one 😆 +96% users run with an 280-360 mm AIO of all sorts of quality hovering around 24-35C water temp and with a single weak water pump struggling pump out more than 100-130 l/hwr. Get an normal average KS for most people is crucial. Not this so called binned chips that should be labled as an K. Remember more heat will demand increase in voltage for stability. And from that... More heat will again.... You see where I go. KS = Special Edition. And now people are pushed to castrate their chips because most of they don't have adquate cooling. Blame both. Intel for not offer top bin quality for their best chips and people for preffering small cute tiny pc boxes with not the best cooling.

The chip need higher voltage if you want higher E-core clock speed than stock clocks. Barely 100 Global SP is a bad value whatever people say. +96% of the users run with AIOs, and no direct die and not delidded chips. Intel know this but still bin their chips that should be down binned to K. Or better say... They should never have got the KS stamped on the lid in first place. Much easier to run 5.9-6.0 on the P-cores with the Ecores running stock clocks. If you bin chips... Then bin all cores. Not a few of them. You pay for a Special Edition. Not slight ok K chips. Here home we pay $110 extra for the KS and many users buying the cheaper K get exactly same value. Thats a bad deal.

More disgusting and with overpriced products but from AMD.... Newer Higher numbers has to be better. AMD wants to sell you their garbage - here's what to buy instead. Scummy move? Brand it an AMD APU is just stupid or greedy. Do they think their customers is equal stupid as themself? MXM is soon history for sorts of pc's with mobile hardware...
