  1. Keychron K3 or Logitech MX Mechanical Mini? One is half the price of the other so I am curious which one to go for?
  2. I don't trust that number. How do they know who has what? What are the Intel and AMD sales? I really don't think that the 98% is accurate.
  3. Apple is pulling their numbers out of their asses just to look good. That's called marketing. I think they are comparing price-to-price equivalent computers. I.e. If a mac Mini costs 699$, they will find a PC that costs 699$ and they "beat that record", the same goes for Macbooks and whatnot.
  4. we have that here as well, it's just average and median salaries ale somewhere completely different.
  5. yeah, American salaries are totally different to what the rest of the world makes.
  6. yeah exactly, Octa*-core. It's not really octa core, it's more of a 4+4 so on paper it's better than 4 core and worse than full 8 core.
  7. I presume those are benchmarks of the high-perf cores. So you are missing whole 4 high-perf cores of i9-10900k.Also wondering about "Hyper-threading".
  8. that's because that black tar chip does not have the same cooling capabilities as open-die Intel/AMD. They just can't push it that far.
  9. Sure and that's... I guess expected. But they are far from i7 and i9.
  10. in general you have IPC and you have clock. But then you have caches, you have software optimizations, you have SIMD, you have branch predictors. It all plays a big role in performance. It's all very relative so you need to fix some variables down, i.e. software and software optimizations.
  11. There are replacements for the software but the software is either a clusterfuck or not of a high quality.
  12. Octo*-core. It's 4 perf and 4 low-perf cores. It's not comparable to Intel's offering, though it's 14 nm vs 5.
  13. I really like some of the Mac-only software. I have a desktop, I am looking for a good macbook pro 2017 replacement.
  14. I came here to vent my frustration. Apple can not offer 8 and/or 16 GB RAM and call it a "pro" - how am I supposed to run Chrome with my VMs? Sure they swapped only the "base" models of Macbooks but unless they have a M1X chip with 32GB (which I assume they don't) it won't be usable. My assumption is that they sacrifice bandwidth on the M.2 SSDs to drastically swap unnecessary stuff. Also 1500$ for 8GB model of Macbook Pro model? Who is going to buy that? You can't offer "up to 32GB" one year and the next one "up to 16GB". I am kinda torn between buying what is still available before and they completely cut off Intel lineup.
  15. Hey guys, I am considering buying two monitors, I am currently deciding between Dell Ultrasharp U2719D 27" 1440p currently on sale for 261 GBP (price lowered from 371 GBP) Dell S2721QS 27" 4K currently on sale for 250 GBP (price lowered from 317 GBP) I have been a previous user of Ultrasharp display and I was amazed by the quality of the display and thus I am a bit biased towards the Ultrasharp line, however they are on a bit pricey side and spec-wise under-performing. I am currently rocking Asus PB278Q 4K, old and heavy monitor (but it still works!). If you have any other recommendations for 2 monitors, for around 500 please let me know. I want to Vesa mount the monitors. Thanks!
  16. it may come in handy. Tablets? Cell Phones? IoT devices?
  17. Yes, but I own Apple product and I could not say the other brand names. Agreed, but there's a need for a little advancement.
  18. Nice setup, the question would be - what's the use case? Computer Science lab?
  19. I am actually pretty stoked about this news as some notebook vendors, *cough*Apple*cough*, could stop soldering their SSDs into Motherboards. https://hardware.slashdot.org/story/19/08/06/1911212/toshiba-introduces-new-tiny-nvme-ssd-form-factor
