You actually don't own the games you’re purchasing. You rent them. Exactly same as in the old days when you rented video movies in the video-stores in the old days. So stop saying it's an bargain purchase if you find a cheap game key. You only have it on loan until the greedy companies throw the game features down the drain. Do you own or rent your games bro @Mr. Fox @ryan? When will everything you buy in any stores or on the web be seen as a license/rented item? The future seems grim. Potential problems surrounding digital sales of games in particular have begun to receive more attention recently, not least here at SweClockers where Fredrik Eriksson recently requested legal requirements to preserve old games. Steam now explicitly states you don't own the digital games you're buying In clear terms, Steam wants you to know that you're actually buying a "license" to access its digital content. Some digital services are already adapting to the new regulations, which aren’t set to be enforced until next year. Steam is one such company, having already implemented a change in the Steam storefront that explicitly notifies customers that they’re purchasing “a license for the product on Steam” and don’t actually own the game outright. And they need to protect their profits at all costs.... The more greedy publishers, game stores and developers become... Expect more piracy. Piracy can reduce sales revenues by 20%, a sizable loss for publishers and developers Read more: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/101036/piracy-can-reduce-sales-revenues-by-20-sizable-loss-for-publishers-and-developers/index.html

Finally had the time to re-paste and check the asic score for the 770 Lightning. Asic 81.7% and Samsung vram. Not bad. Sad we can't have such features for todays graphics cards. This feature is probably closed down by Ngreedia. Because they don't want that you know what you got.

Hmmm. It seems Ryzen 9000 X3D chips will beat the new "gaming downgrade". Aka Intel Core Ultra Chips with at least 15% in gaming. If not 20%. What Intel have left now is the single core performance crown. That's something. Better than nothing? Huuuh. The move to tiles destoyed everything for Intel. They'll need an X3D chips themself due the new added latency problems.

Hmmm. One of its kind or down as a ragdoll in shame? Hope ASRock really can deliver better than the other "underdogs" with their up-blown mem OC specs. What's the secret sauce that make ASRock (Taichi OCF is the successor to the ASRock Formula series) so much better than the others best OC boards this time? @Mr. Fox Seems Asus is more careful on the promisses. ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF - 10133 MT/s+ MSI MEG Z890 Unify-X - 9600 MT/s+ Z890 AORUS Xtreme AI TOP - 9500 MT/s+ ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 APEX - 9000 MT/s+ Maxsun iCraft Z890 Vertex - 9000 MT/s+ ASRock’s Z890 Taichi OCF Listed With DDR5 10,133 MT/s Speed Support, Highest Memory Rating Across All Z890 Motherboards So Far Intel LGA1851 socket has a new ILM that helps CPUs run a bit cooler Also, the new flat load plate promises to circumvent CPU bending or at least reduce it. For some reason, MSI's webcast does not explicitly say this. Yet, since Intel's Arrow Lake processors use a multi-chiplet design, their bending could be devastating and kill these CPUs, so Intel had to alter the socket design.

Yup, and we all know you'll always get some extra from Redmond😁 Windows 11's big 2024 update leaves behind ~9GB of undeletable files Windows 11's 2024 update is now also killing internet connections Users are reporting network connectivity issues after installing the Windows 11 24H2 update.

“We actually had a long, a really long chat internally about how to allocate the transistor budget on this part,” Hallock continued. “To be clear, yes, it was fully possible to put a 50 TOPS, 40 TOPS NPU on this product, but to do so would also require shrinking the core count, changing the GPU core count. Be happy Intel didn't shrink on the core count. Wouldn't it be nice if Intel's desktop flagship had only 6 P-cores and 8 babies? Aka 14 threads. Or the Core Ultra 265K (14700K replacement) got 4 P-cores and 8 E-cores. But it would still be the single thread champ if that matters.

Dedicated to.... Intel's engineers

They also follow AMD footsteps regarding latency.... Intel’s decision to split the memory controller and PHY into their own tile (I/O tile) was to improve yields, but this creates memory latency issues that contribute to the lower gaming performance. Intel does offer the option to overclock the tile-to-tile interface, but we’ll have to see how that plays out in real-world testing.

At least you can expect better gaming performance. Worse with Intel's new processors. The failure is complete and confirmed. On par and sometimes with lower gaming performance than previous gen Core processors. New is always better bro @ryan. Intel......... Fantastic progress. One Giant leap forwards backwards. One Giant Leap in gaming performance pr watt. Is this a Joke? What next? Maybe 300 series will run even more power efficient and offer same performance as Intel Cpu's from 2023 ? And why compare with old 7000 series AMD Ryzen? Intel Launches Arrow Lake Core Ultra 200S — big gains in productivity and power efficiency, but not in gaming Exacly what modern gamers wanted. Maybe they now can use their fancy low Z-high tower coolers intended for Non K chips?

From 13:10 Nvidia Confirms RTX 50 Release | Arrow Lake Gaming Benchmarks And from 10:10 Opened up the MSI 770 Lightning. As expected, 11 year old rock-hard thermal paste. Never been opened so this is real old paste from the factory. They don't use such thermal paste nowadays for new and modern. The new and modern get the cheapest you can get that last maybe a few months. Not +10 years as this old lady have run🙂

This is the performance that matters in end of 2024/25. Single threaded performance. Why all the talk about multi core performance? It seems no one need it. Or do they? Remember there are several benchmarks now on the bot that cater to single threded performance. Modern computer users want smartphone power efficiency nowadays. Hence we now have smartphone cores packed into desktop processors. It's what it is. Update: A new slide shared by Wnxod shows Core Ultra 9 285K compared to Ryzen 9 9950X in four benchmarks. It claims that Intel has 8% geometric increase over last-gen series in single-threaded applications and 4% advantage over Ryzen 9 9950X. See... Intel beat AMD🥴 And you probably don't need good cooling anymore. Isn't that a win for Intel? See also... This Nice seeing engineers as Aris at Cybenetics say the same as I have said from the beginning.... 12VHPWR/12V-2x6 power connector on the PSU panel is stupid. Rather go back to add loads of 8-pin connectors on the PSU. And stop making things worse than it has to be with this stupid designed power connector on the PSU side.

In reality it could be worse? Nice. The final Vmin Shift Instability issue fix come right in time before Arrow Lake release date. I wonder if the fix was able to narrow the performance gap bethween Arrow Lake and the faster 14900K in games. Yup, I expect the performance figures in games showed in the Chinese slides from Intel bethween Core Ultra 9 285K and 14900K is done with an castrated 14900K running their latest fix. In short... The gaming results from Core Ultra 9 285K are even worse than what the slides show😀 But hey, what do I know. The single core Jockey's got exactly what they wanted. Power efficiency to try beat ARM and AMD in what's matter. Exactly where I see Intel right now.... Stupid is as stupid does. From reddit...🤢🤮🤢 ARL-S IPC (vs 13/14th) P Core +9% E Core +32% So Intel throwed away HT for better power efficiency and measly 9% IPC gains for the P-cores. And the so called better multi threaded performance will mostly come from improved Baby cores. Disgusting!

Intel bashed AMD's offering as being a "glued-together" solution. And here we are today with brand new Intel Cpu's glued together with 5 dies but two of them is so called "dummy" dies🙄 So Intel take it to another level. Hmmm, how dumb can this be? Maybe sanding of the whole die tile mess will be the new most needed mod for consistent core to core temp delta. Intel slide criticizes AMD for using "glued-together" dies Intel Core Ultra 9 285K “Arrow Lake-S” CPU picture leaks out

Intel will put their money where they can max out profits to please their shareholders. Aka full focus on mobile and server chips. Mainstream desktop chips can easly be made from silicon and arc meant for Trashtops. Mainstream destop processors is now shuffled into no-man's land. Intel Lunar Lake 15W Benchmarks Bode Well For Future Gaming Handhelds In our reviews of Lunar Lake systems, we've noted that a particular bright spot for the new Intel SoC, besides its excellent efficiency, is its graphics performance.

Looks like an fantastic chips for the single thread Jockey's. Intel can for the second time beat Apple in benchmarks that matters for tomorrows computer users. See... Many of they have never ever owned or experienced an real single core Intel Cpu from several decades ago. Now they can come close to have one. The single core performance will be amacing for their computer tasks 🤔 Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Breaks Past 5K Points To Become The Fastest Single-Threaded CPU At PassMark, 11% Faster Than 14900K New single thread CPU performance leader....

Nice it worked out for you🙂 Regarding the whining about high Idle power consumption... The modern gamers/consumers trusted all too much on our old friend, the good liar F. Azor You just can't trust any (car) sellers. Especially not the former Dell AW boss Mr. Azor😎

Looking very good. Say hello to the new old for the old man... MSI GTX770 Lightning. The card looks almost brand new. Not a scratch. Only some dust in the fin stack And the thermal paste has never been changed. Because the warranty sticker on the screw has not been touched. The card have been used until now aka 11 years before he switched over on a new card. The warranty sticker is clean and nice. And the GPU Reactor which is the older MSI Lightning's trademark looks pristine🙂 Now I have two old MSI Lightning cards for my GPU collection. The one in front in the box is the older GTX680 Lightning. They both are exactly the same cards with (same cooler, shroud, fans, GK104 die and PCB). No changes here from MSI. The only difference is the faster vram for the newer gen 700 series nvidia cards. Never change the cooler and the design if you don't need or have to @Mr. Fox Edit. Opposite to greedy Asus, Msi offer 5 heat pipes and secondary metal heatsink with pads that cools the memory chips for their best older cards. Asus went with wimpy 3 pipes and no cooling for the vram. Hmmm. Asus couldn't even offer you 2x8 pins for the 770 series. How much did they save going this cheapo? The greedy stinker... Asus MSI...

There you see. There is hope for the young ones. Your 8 year old nephew seems as a very smart young man. So handle him well🙂 The dreaded dark is back here up in the cold North. And worse for every new day. And I hate it more for every new year to come. The damn dark and the cold over several months in a row isn't good for any one's health. Intel 14th & 13th Gen CPU Instability Issues Are Now Solved As Blue Team Confirms “0x12B” As The Final Mitigation Does this mean Intel are finished cripple the performance for 13th and 14t gen Intel chips? And does this mean the OEMs can stop remove performance related features in firmware? @Mr. Fox https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Client/Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop-Instability-Root-Cause/post/1633239 This post will cover Intel’s understanding of the root cause, as well as additional mitigations and next steps for Intel® Core™ 13th and 14th Gen desktop users.

And me who thought it was a more modern buttplug😁 @electrosoft Hmmm. This package I got in the mail looks big enough to contain some old graphics card. I bough it from the used market for cheap so it won't be any new expensive and modern🤩 And never drill holes in your house if you don't have fire in the cold.

Easy-peasy. Because LGA desktop processors are in short Mobile silicon glued on PCBs for desktops. Unisex, you know. One fit all and you can reduce costs. @Mr. Fox Just can't get enough of seeing disgusting modern..... But here it is... How it goes if you pare disgusting🤮 The top part is the Mobile part. Then guess what's the desktop part of this unisex Aphrodite😎

Intel locked that loophole for 13th and 14th gen. I mean you can only do sub 103 BCLK overclocking.

Thanks🙂 But who knows... Maybe not the last one😁 But havne't seen much talk about the problem lately. Maybe most/many owners of 13t and 14th gen have undervolted and underclocked their CPU's trying to mitigate it themself. Even cripple it hard. Intel finds cause of overheating CPUs, provides another BIOS update Intel just identified a fourth cause for problematic 13th and 14th Gen CPUs. Get the BIOS update as soon as you can.

Yup, we may see some gains from DDR5 CUDIMM memory kit when the Z990 refresh is out end of 2025. Also this time will the first gen (Z890 boards) be the guinea pig on Intel's new platform/socket LGA 1851. Nice, if the gains is minimal over older Raptor Lake Refresh. At least Intel can put the mess with this older gen chips behind. Big win for... Intel. And big Win for the Single thread boost Jockey's performing web browsing/light tasks on their brand new Intel platform. Single core thread performance is now King.
