With the rise of the Ryzen chips taking a large portion of the PC microconductor market share and Apple ditching Intel for M1, is Intel truly screwed and going the way of Blackberry? 
 
I've had a look at some of their 11th-gen mobile chips and they seem to be finally doing a bit better (on 10 nm) and they perform similar to the Ryzen 5000-series, but they still draw a lot of power and their desktop processors (11th gen at least) still leave a lot to be desired compared to the Ryzen offerings but we'll see with the 12th gen whether they are making progress like with their laptop lines. 
 
Do you think Intel is screwed? Or can they come back?

Was interested until I saw the 670 euro price tag here in Ireland lol. Would have been nice for $300-400 range but 600+ no way in hell.  Cost twice as much as my Sony XM4s but probably won’t come close to sounding twice as good. 

I've been using a Xiaomi phone for the last 2 years and honestly don't see what the fuss is about with MIUI. If you don't like the junk apps, just put them all into a trash folder and forget about don't. 
 
My phone resembles stock android and is super smooth with no performance issues. I don't see why Linus and other people keep hating on it? 

Me:I dislike Apple because they still put those crappy 5400 RPM drive that makes the operating system and programs run like molasses. 
 
Them: It's not the hard drive. That has nothing to do with speed. It's the CPU's fault.

they are pretty good headphones, but they are more analytical than the M50x, with not much low end, but it depends on your music taste and how you like your headphones to sound. 

I have a friend who had Skullcandy headphones (not sure which model) and upgraded to the M40X. He was very satisfied. They are some of the most portable over-ears, and although I find that they make instruments sound more mellow with an upper bass bump (150 - 300 Hz?) and less treble than they do in real life, their sound signature is nice for listening. 

You Americans get all the good deals X_X

I like TB for his in-depth analysis and optimization reports for PC but AngryJoe gets to the point quicker IMO. 

Try overclocking the processor. The K-series chips (starting with the Sandy Bridge generation) love and are asking to be overclocked. I noticed a pretty significant increase in FPS (up to 10 fps) and in benchmarking (on Performancetest it goes up from 8700 to 9400) between my 2700K at stock and overclocked to 4.3 ghz on a GTX 970 (motherboard won't let me play with voltages, bummer). 
 
If your motherboard has voltage controls, you should get up to 4.6 ghz no problem with the 4790k. 

They work, but look at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438016&cm_re=evga_500-_-17-438-016-_-Product
 
I'd recommend this A WHOLE LOT MORE.

9/10. Nice focus on the bridge. What camera did you use?

7.5/10. Good idea but the flash ruined it. Try it in a lighter environment or increase iso without flash for reflective objects like glass.

Sell your duo cards and get a single killer card for your new (limited...) motherboard. I recommend the GTX 970 which is the best bang for dollar card out there. 
 
Runs all modern gales on ultra at 40 FPS+ for under $400. Can't be beat. + free game if you get on Newegg. 

Nope. Just make sure you move it to a folder/file that's easy to find on your phone, like "music" or something so you can easily access it. 

Currently, the only Intel processors available with 4 cores or more are their old Core 2 Quad series and anything with i5 and up. Celeron, Pentium, i3s, and even some Xeons will become obsolete once the DX12 comes out and AMD currently has more multi-core processors than Intel on the market, including the 4,6, and 8 core FX series, 4 core Athlon, and 4+ core APUs up for offer. So, it's easy to see that while Intel has been spending their resources on getting performance per core, AMD has just gone ahead and added more cores to their CPUs to improve performance. When DX12 comes out, core# and the multithreaded performance will be more important and performance per core not so much. 
 
When DX12 comes out and more games pull support for dual core processors (it is already happening with FC4) in favour of quad cores and up, do you see AMD coming back and blowing Intel out of the water? Do you see them surpassing Intel?
