There are no driver updates at all in Windows updates. I am not sure which controller the Gigabyte board uses but looking at their driver list on their website, they seem to be intel drivers and intel does not have any updates for this particular system after scanning and analysing for updates.

This might be worth a watch

Alibaba already has it on sale ?
 
 

Idk if I would trust The Verge as a reliable source on this thought ?

Edit : Thanks for the change !

Intel CPU shortage: "They're outta chicken!!"
 

"You're opening it wrong"

People pay extra for curved displays normally

Yes, but the latest version of Windows and Linux can be installed on very old system past 10 years.

FFS now LMG is going to have to find a different VPN service to promote

Sure whatever. I'm sure they won't stop until they release fucking Atoms for X299 too.

TL;DR A bunch of computer enthusiasts got bored and decided to whip up a competitor to Intel's EXTREME edition CPUs in their spare time. This is quite frankly hilarious given how badly it has discombobulated Intel.

Googled it and its available on USA only...

Thanks, now I don't to watch it 

been here for years and never knew what that pin in the corner was for, and never bothered to click on it
 
EDIT: after clicking it on and off a few times, i still have no idea what it does
EDIT2: people keep quoting me to tell me what it does, so to save you all the time,
thanks guys

That is a HD 4670 with a silver shroud.

So, this should be a fun one. My thoughts:
 
This has been a roaming discussion point since the Ryzen 7 launched and some of the issues with 1080p Gaming. Obviously, there have been a lot of tweaks for a large slew of games to improve performance on the Ryzen CPUs, but there's still been a disconnect in how well games perform on the 1080 or 1080 Ti between Intel & AMD platforms. (1070 and below GPUs don't see this issue, as CPU demands increases as GPU demands do. There's a saturation issue for the super-high FPS processing.) With the launch of Skylake-X, the first run of Gaming benchmarks pointed to Skylake-X performing like Ryzen CPUs do in most gaming titles.  Thanks to Steve's massive review, we can now see that's true.
 
From the actual review, at stock speeds, the Ryzen 5 1600 is about 5% slower than the stock i7-7800X. With both OC'd, there is no difference. (See the last graph posted.)  Stock differences is simply down to clock speed (Intel: 3.5 / 4.0 vs AMD: 3.2 / 3.6). What is important is that both the Ryzen CPUs and the Skylake-X CPUs use a "victim" Cache for the L3 and operate over a different core-to-core interconnect system compared to the 7700k. A few of us have conjectured, recently, that the issue with the 1080/TI class GPUs is actually some form of optimization that Nvidia has found with either the Ring Bus or the L3 Cache system on Intel's Sandy Bridge to Current platforms. This is why Skylake-X gaming performance is slower in a lot of cases with Skylake-X than the 7700k or even the previous X99 platform CPUs. 
 
It should be noted that the 7700k is still King. What design Intel is using for the Interconnect system is on the upcoming Coffee Lake CPUs is, thusly, going to be incredibly important. If they do switch to the new Mesh Interconnect, Coffee Lake could be a performance regression in Gaming. We'll find out about that here soon when Intel announces the product line. [Some other poking around says Coffee Lake is just Kaby Lake's design + 2 cores for the 6c parts. ]
 
Considering that Infinity Fabric & Mesh are here to stay, it'll be interesting to watch AMD & Nvidia both approach Drivers for their GPUs over the coming years. They've spent a long time optimizing for Intel's architecture, but now it's all going in a very different direction.
 
Last, but a Side Point: The L3 Cache/Ring Bus issue could actually explain AMD's "Finewine" issue. Nvidia's entire structure gives them a noticeable bump in FPS from specific optimizations (likely of the scheduler in software) of Intel CPUs. AMD GPUs end up better as they update to replicate that effect in each specific game. If that effect is around ~15%, it would explain "Finewine", Nvidia's generally better launches and the Theoretical vs Real Performance differences that happen in the Nvidia vs AMD GPU discussions. (AMD's compute is better at the same Gaming performance as Nvidia.) It'll be interesting to see if that is truly the case, as it would finally solve one of the hilarious oddities in the tech industry.

idk why but this popped into my head

If apple buys them now, that's some pure, dastardly, deviously, well play move right there

You're not.  It gives these people money so they can afford to keep doing this to more people, and shows them that it's a viable business.
Not to mention there's no guarantee they'll even do what they promised, or that they won't reinfect you in the future.

I mean they are saving on unlocked phone fees so the money has to come from somewhere else now
