    Summary
    TSMC are indicating that the defect rate of their 5nm process is doing better than 7nm was at a comparable time in its life cycle relative to the introduction to High Volume Manufacturing. This is part attributed to the move to EUV, which reduces complexity in the process compared to the multiple steps of DUV required previously.
     
    Thoughts
    TSMC are the current leaders in silicon device production and this should help keep them in that spot, and also benefit those who use them to manufacture their chips. A node advancement brings with it advantages, some of which are also shown in the slide. It will be really interesting to see what hardware we get once that hits PC tech mainstream in the not too distant future. It is also interesting to see 6nm on that slide, which Intel have ordered some of for future production.

    porina got a reaction from PCGuy_5960 in Logitech mouse sometimes double clicks, support experience, alternatives?   
    I finally poked around the Logitech G Hub software and found how to save profiles to the mouse. This will make it easier to test it on other systems without software.
     
    I have now also connected the Deathadder V2 to my main gaming system. The feel of the mouse will take getting used to. It feels smaller, yet based on the profiles before, it should be about the same. I suspect it may be down to the lateral asymmetry now not putting pressure on a part of my hand that I'm expecting. Just gotta use it and get used to it. The software is less annoying than G Hub, although why does everything have to persuade you for an online account? All I need to do is a one time settings change and adjust the colours to match the rest of my setup. Actually, I can probably disable the software now.

    I'll keep that in mind. I have about 2 weeks before the product is one year old. The rules on returns are complicated and if I do anything, its best to be within that either way.
     
    If anything since it shortens the window, it could reduce latency. For my gaming, mouse click latency isn't a big factor.
     
    It has arrived. I haven't opened it yet while I get on with daily stuff. But soon...
     
    I only went G703 as it was essentially the cordless version of the G403 I was using before. I actually have two G403s, the first one middle button stopped working outside warranty so I got another which still works ok.

    I like to keep price out of it, because value is never as simple as made out and small differences in how you measure performance, or what pricing is around at the time, can swing things wildly either way. We don't know RT performance of next gen cards and I think it will become a LOT more important than legacy performance.

    porina got a reaction from BTGbullseye in Why are TI's chosen over Titans for Gaming? (Looking for specifics)   
    In Pascal era, the 1080Ti essentially performed the same as the comparable Titan (further confused was it that gen that had multiple Titans?). Although the Titan had more cores, the Ti's were generally clocked higher so you get essentially the same performance, unless you upgraded the cooling and overclocked the Titans too.
     
    Think there was more of a difference in Turing generation but the price gap made it "not worth it" for most.

    A minor update for this thread.
     
    Logitech support did come back to me, with a long list of things to try. I'll go through the motions to honestly say I tried it all, but I'm not optimistic. Actually, one setting may have helped a bit, but it isn't a solution. That's to change the double-click sensitivity in Windows to the fastest setting. The unwanted double click rate might have gone down, but it is hard to quantify, and it certainly hasn't gone away completely. Other things on the to do list include using/not using the software, different PC, you get the idea. They say if the steps don't resolve it, I should RMA through where I purchased from, which is understandable under UK consumer law, but policy can vary between manufacturers e.g. EVGA like to handle it themselves.
     
    I've ordered the Deathadder V2 now. Can't have too many (good) mice, and I just want something that works in the short term, as who knows how long RMAs take.
