  1. Don't worry - they only sold 46 so far.. . . . . . . . Sorry - 46,000.
  2. FYI - injection moulding does not involve molten plastic.
  3. DDR5 has much greater bandwidth, but as it runs in gear 2 it gets much worse latency. That's why DDR5 machines get much worse 1% lows. So long as the assets are kept in the CPU cache it doesn't matter, but the moment you need to page the ram, you get jarring fps dips. Of course the 1% lows are the exact moment when interesting things happen.(like in a gunfight) Co-incidentally it's the same reason that the 5800X3D is so much better than every other AMD CPU - huge cache, so it doesn't get the typical AMD FPS drops.
  4. LMAO - testing a latency dependant question with DDR5... Here's a hint
  5. Sure it is... because it runs 5.3GHz all core out of he box 24/7... Like they ALL can.
  6. Any review that doesn't remove the power limits for all chips and use the best RAM available is pointless. The entire purpose of the 3D cache is to make the RAM interface bottleneck less of a problem... Based on those results, my 9900K is faster.
  7. So you used 3200MHz ram and left the 12900K at stock speeds. Utterly useless review.
  8. I take off my dust filters and run them under flowing water. quick dry and back on.
  9. It's a classic strategy. Instead of taking a salary, he takes stock options that mature in a few years. That way he gradually builds his total stock portfolio while having zero tax liability. Corporations do the same thing, they "re-invest" to actively avoid making profits so their tax liability gets cut to zero while increasing the value of the company. Stockholders love it because it increases their capital investment value. At the same time they depreciate those same investments more quickly than they actual de-value. This results in asset growth. BTW - Elon sold a bunch of stock recently to pay taxes on them. This was a master stroke because he has a bunch of options maturing this financial year - so he was going to have to pay a butt load of tax anyway. He will effectively get his options tax free now. Also - if he gives his suggested $6billion away, that will be tax deductible for next year.
  10. This only applies if you buy the car and drive it until it drops. If you buy a new car every 3 years, then your carbon footprint is WORSE with a BEV.
