I mean, you mention clockspeeds but to be honest, that's mostly just marketing too. The higher the number the better right? I mean right now Intel has the higher and more impressive looking clockspeed of 5+ GHz but AMD's boost clocks are stuck at 4.9 GHz, but because of AMD's IPC gains, they have the faster single and multicore performance when comparing similarly positioned chips, but now you look at the M1 chip and at that point you're comparing it to not just a different architecture like Zen 3 vs Rocketlake, but it is also x86 vs ARM and at that point, the clockspeed isn't really even relevant and benchmark numbers are what matter. Either way, the Intel i7 1060NG7 that could be specced in the Macbook Air had a base clock of 1.2 GHz and 3.8 GHz boost, which it almost never sees, but according to leaked GB results, the AS M1's base clock might be 3.2 GHz. By the way, nothing against your sentiment. I get it. I wish Apple was more transparent with these things and actually tells us basic stuff rather than hiding it within paragraphs of footnotes or making people use software to dig for information. It really shouldn't be that hard.

Yay Jibo

I come here looking for things about Paypal’s acquisition of Honey and find this instead... I got rid of Tunnelbear because of the McAfee acquisition. Idk if I should get rid of PIA now as well because some shadier company has acquired it. At least McAfee has brand recognition...

I'm already tired of this.

If any of these specs are true for both this and Ryzen, I'm definitely building an all AMD rig when these parts come out next year

V850 is a fine choice especially since you're probably going to have to scan 120 film as well so a dedicated 35mm scanner like a Noritsu or a Pakon is out of the question anyways even if you had the dough to blow on a one of those scanners.

I don't know. At the very least, naming it RX 680 gives the naming scheme logic and continuity. I guess AMD is banking on consumers using "the bigger the number the better it is" logic to sell some cards

Why change the naming scheme to that? Calling it an RX 680 would have been just fine.

Since the B360 chipset doesn't support overclocking, you might as well save money and get an i5-8600 or even an i7-8700 for a bit more if you don't want to spend a lot more money and get a Z370 or Z390 chipset mobo.

I mean if you're looking at upgrading your CPU for better productivity and are considering an 8th gen intel as a possibility, maybe you should take a look at a Ryzen 5 2600/2600X as well since you would have to buy a new motherboard. Getting a 2600 and an X470 motherboard would be less expensive and offer comparable performance at a lower price point than upgrading to Z370. At least that's what I've seen. That being said, the 7700K can be run on the Z170 Chipset which would save you some money, but I dont think the performance delta between the 6600K and 7700K is really worth the $350 pricetag that it is going for on Amazon

Interesting. Huh. That's a nice thing to do.

I've seen one in person before. It was at a Microsoft store at a mall in Dallas. I did play around with it and it is a nice laptop. Honestly just never thought to look more into it.

You can stop trying because I'm obviously not going to read what you're going to write. I maintain my position and so far besides you, others have more or less agreed to the same sentiment. If you really feel like continuing to try and fail at antagonizing me, go ahead, because its actually not working.

With that in mind, that makes much more sense. Good on AMD then. Even without that consideration, the fact that AMD CPUs are outselling at that kind of margin at any kind of retailer is a good sign that AMD is doing something right.

Just looked it up. Hardware looks pretty good and decently powerful, but that price looks a little steep but maybe on par, if not a little better than Macbook Pro 13"

nope. You can believe whatever makes you happy though.

Thats the thing though, I feel like the Enthusiast crowd does have people that will value both companies and while a large portion would buy AMD parts for their builds because of price to performance, I would have thought it would be closer to Intel:AMD 60:40 or 50:50 where due to their history, Intel would still have an advantage in the market. That's really interesting though.

Huh thats interesting. I didn't know that.

Is there any reason why the numbers from this retailer is significantly different from other retailers where customers would skew towards AMD over Intel? Are the consumers that frequent Mindfactory particularly sensitive to prices/have an audience that particularly benefit multi-threaded performance?

Just so you know, this was posted already.

I don't really know why you're trying to start something here. There was nothing absurd about my assumptions. There was nothing wrong about my statement. I even made concessions about that fact that this laptop is probably not marketed toward me. I don't know why you're trying to antagonize me but frankly I don't care.

I think its also worth mentioning that UV Radiation is a form of non-ionizing radiation and that shit can cause cancer, though the non-ionizing radiation in cellphones is a lot weaker than UV Radiation obviously.

A 4K 17-inch panel would be nice and definitely more beneficial than a 4K display at 13 or 15 inches.
