Microsoft messes up with its latest Windows 10 and 11 update: Fujitsu PCs and GIGABYTE laptops don't work.

Yep, forget those LP E-cores. They won't do much. Then you are left with 48 threads (most of them are threads from the lower perfoming baby cores). AMD make ready an 32 core Ryzen cpu tocompete. That means 64 threads. Or 16 threads more than what you get from the next level of the hybrid mess from Intel. 3 different types of cores means Microsofts engineers need to make magic with their OS builds for Intel processors. That is doomed to fail. Because the power scheduler will go totally wacko.

China have 1/3 of the GPU market. I expect the 5090DD is in work. That means the production of 5090 will drop. Forget real price drop for 5090 cards. I expect the inflated MSRP level will continue. There is no reason you can't buy any 5090's at Asus US Store. So I expect they already are in work make ready castrated 5090's for the China market. NVIDIA to launch GeForce RTX 5090DD for Chinese market with GB202-240 GPU and 24GB memory

Hmmm. Asus US Store operates with Notify Me. None 5090 available for sale. Why? Retail got all cards? Or maybe we will see the other side of the coin. Nvidia could easily reduce production capasity and put all resources on coming server chips. Creating shortage is easy. Just reduce production of chips for a while.

Yup. Microsoft locks Windows 11 user out, shows how easy losing data from forced encryption is

The usual with new updates. Windows 11's emergency June update causes even more bugs and chaos Update KB5063060 is supposed to fix Windows 11 issues raised by update KB5060842, but it brings new problems of its own. Never let Microsoft determine how you want their OS to work. Microsoft locks Windows 11 user out, shows how easy losing data from forced encryption is Edit.

MSI pulls new AMD AGESA 1.2.0.3e BIOS due to memory stability issue Update your Asus PC right now! A critical flaw can let hackers take over They can't even make firmware/software for their expenive hardware without bugs.

Hmmm. Those that need 24GB vram for work never buy it this way (at least here home due tax and depreciation). They buy brand new. And the latest tech when they need new. So it has to be gamers or fools. Or US have different rules for businesses and taxation for work tools. Btw. Nvidia have released new drivers today. 576.80😁 Why pay all too much to play e-sport games as suggested by F. Azor? You can buy a whole new used computer for that amount money and still have some money left in the pocket.

Add 32GB vram for the Radeon card and $1099 and they will fly out. (AI)Creators will love them. There is stupids that will pay $2300+ for over two years old cards. The 24GB vram buffer as you know. But how will it be when Nvidia push out 24GB cards at $1200 ? Newegg may start pay sub $1000 for used 4090's? Is this real? Or fiction?

Hmmm. I wonder how much Newegg sell them for in China region/nearby countries if they try circumvent the US ban. Even with no profits from the trade-in with used 4090's they will go with profits. I'm sure Newegg have customers ready for the bulk of used cards. Maybe the US governments should check where they go. Newegg can easily get rid of the trade-in 4090's. China take them. Every single one of them. Just ship them in bulk. Not much fuzz. One customer take them all is what will be done.

There is nothing I like now. I don't like the new hybrid tile mess from Intel or the AMD Ryzen chips. If I had to build today I would look after the older Z790 platform. The same platform I use today. Aka Z790 and 14900KS. Also older 13900K(KS)/14900K if you got it cheaper is an good option. And Intel offer extended warranty for the Raptor lake family so... This is what I prefer. The Z790 platform is a solid choice. Also @Mr. Fox isn't all to happy with the AMD platform. And he also hate the new Z890 platform from Intel. No HT and dummy tiles is damn stupid choice from Intel. Glued together chips/tiles is a step backwards and not forwards. Only designed to cut costs and maximize already sky high profits. AMD plugs serious Ryzen vulnerability with new firmware update

Nothing Microsoft create is safe.... But M$ want you to scrap your older fully working computer because it's a security problem for your data/privacy. This was doomed to happen. What Microsoft has made is an ticking bomb. Vulnerability made it possible to steal sensitive data by sending email.

The yellow tip MSI adapter can't even handle an 5070Ti. And same here... Most of the 12V terminal pins have the same brownish color as the MSI adapers running 600W 5090 cards. 5070Ti is 300W cards. Hmmm. LOL Nice. 36 out of 52 cores is low performing E-cores. 4 of them even lower-power efficiency cores. And of course no HT because Intel intead prefer a flood of baby cores. Intel don't make real desktop processors. Only processors for tablets/slimyyy thin Jokebooks ported over for desktops (with increased TDP). + server chips. Intel’s next-gen “Nova Lake-S” Core Ultra series to feature up to 52 cores (16P+32E+4LP) with 150W TDP

Microsoft will have a problem if they think they can convince people to throw their older fully working computers in the trash bin and buy new before the EOL date for Win 10. User calls Windows 11 “pure horror,” Microsoft says it’s listening to feedback Windows 11 is far from perfect, but some users truly hate the upgrade, which will become mandatory for everyone starting October 14, 2025. In a post on X, a user who switched to Fedora called Windows 11 “pure horror,” and responding to the criticism, Microsoft’s Insider Program head promised the company is paying close attention to the feedback. It's been four years, and I still don't have a strong enough reason to upgrade to Windows 11 Redmond is making various attempts to get people to seamlessly upgrade to Windows 11 in what may be last ditch efforts before the looming Windows 10 EoL date. But I believe what will really move the needle is the actual arrival of EoL or groundbreaking Windows 11 features that you simply can't get elsewhere. But I do believe that the latter will take some time, so until then, let's welcome the age of the new Windows 7. @Mr. Fox This was doomed to happen. What Microsoft has made is an ticking bomb.

AMD is on the way with their AI hardware. They will sink equal low. So not so sure we will have any viable options (correct pricing and real performance uplift without software tweaks and new fake frame features). AMD Expected to Break NVIDIA’s AI Monopoly With Next-Gen Instinct MI500 Accelerators & EPYC “Verano” CPUs, Set to Compete Against Vera Rubin Lineup We can only hope the AI bubble bursts.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble AI has not turned out to be as effective as they thought: 50% of companies that wanted to replace their employees with AI are backing out.

Have seen it. Disgusting. Not much have changed since F. Azor left the ship. Regarding the 9090XT I think that will be the 9080XT. Add xx90 in the name is misleading if the performance can't come close to 5090. More vram and will probably beat a possible 5080 Super. AMD could be greedy if they add 32GB vram and beat any of the xx80 class cards. Everything in bethween $1000 and 1200 is possible. 32GB vram is the selling point to target users who prioritized memory capacity for gaming, AI and creative workloads. Now it's up to Nvidia put an correct price point on the Super cards. And as usual ... AMD will copy that prices due the bigger 32GB vram buffer.

@tps3443 Not easy fix failed FE cards when you can't get needed parts. This is even worse than Dell @Mr. Fox Good engineering means that you can make the product repairable and with good supply of needed parts customers can buy (easy to find and cheap to buy). Nvidia fail hard. It turns out that those small inductors for RTX 5090 FE PCB are not available for purchase? Brother Zhang, who repairs computers on the BILIBILI channel, previously uploaded a video of repairing an NVIDIA RTX 5090 FE ( source ), and the connector burned up again. But what I am interested in is another RTX 5090 FE that flashed by in the video, because Brother Zhang said that the RTX 5090 FE has been left in the store for several months. The reason is that there is no material for repair and no components can be bought. Brother Zhang waited for several months but couldn't buy this special inductor, so he was unable to repair it. Btw. The new "amazing" deal will make hardware more expensive forwards. The losers will be the US citizens. But I expect the millionaires/billionaires now get some lower taxes(paid by the tariff from China). The ordinary people will get nothing back. Only increased costs. Then increased inflation on top. The US and China make peace on tariffs: +55% and +10%, hardware will rise in price, and not a little. Nvidia should have scrapped the RTX naming for SKUs below 5070Ti. Just brand them GTX as in older days. Because RT isn't for those cards. Want RT on mid tier cards, then go with AMD. Greed come at a price. Not that AMD offer much more but Nvidia have failed hard with sub 5070Ti cards branded RTX.

Yup. And this is what Intel have spent the last months for.... A refresh of i5-12400F. But you get 100MHz higher boost clocks. Isn't that nice and very exciting? Exactly as in the old days with Skylake +++++++. Yeee, profits from low end parts made by own foundry at reduced costs for budget. Intel will not survive in the long run if they continue this way. Intel preparing budget Core 5 120F 6-core CPU featuring only P-cores https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-preparing-budget-core-5-120f-6-core-cpu-featuring-only-p-cores Based on the slide, the P-Core frequency is 2.5 GHz base and 4.5 GHz boost. These specs are nearly identical to the Core i5-12400F, which is also a P-Core-only processor. The only dierence is a 100 MHz higher boost clock on the 120F. Also AMD try similar as Intel but with Ryzen 7 9700F for mainstream gamers on the AM5 platform. The race continue who can offer the cheapest trash for maximum profits. The only difference is that AMD also offer processors for high end gaming. AMD To Launch Ryzen 7 9700F 8-Core “Zen 5” CPU With iGPU Disabled, Set To Cost Around $250 For Mainstream PC Builders

Imagine next gen Intel tile mess (incl dummy tiles) with v-cashe, NPU and loads of E-cores, a few P-cores and no HT. That 9950X3D you got and sending back will look decent compared to next gen Intel. With all problems INTEL have with Core Ultra then imagine how it will be with the 3D v-cashe baked in. The silicon lottery will come on top.

If the 5090FE cost $2000 then should this be the normal MSRP for the 5090 Astral (10% extra).

That is spot on... Dell can continue with their business as long consumers throw away their hard earned money... From the OP post..... I’ve done loads of research to the point where I think I’m just running round in circles now with the little understanding I have of gaming pc’s. I understand that I would be paying a premium for this particular PC but that doesn’t bother me. Not from Dell but still an disgusting deal... Gold-plated RTX 5090 for up to 19,200 euros net on eBay

Nothing beat the sound of the bagpipe😄

Those defective 6000 chips will go into China as their newer AI server chips paired with +48GB GDDR7. No point make 5090Ti if they don't cost north of $4500. And that's too much for 5090Ti/Super class cards. The Fury say sing so😁 And very equal as.... This is waste of money @Mr. Fox
