  1. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-was-rather-misleading-in-its-comparisons-between-the-Core-i9-12900K-and-Ryzen-9-5950X.576726.0.html Summary It seems that Intel was not telling the full story when it compared the Core i9-12900K against the Ryzen 9 5950X, currently AMD's most comparable processor. As it turns out, Intel allowed the Core i9-12900K to consume 2.4x the power of its AMD competitor and benchmarked the Ryzen 9 5950X using an older version of Windows 11 with AMD performance issues. Quotes My thoughts This kind of behavior is nasty and only damages their reputation more for those who care. I'm sure some will miss this article and still believe the original quotes from Intel . The fact that misinformation is getting everywhere is worrying. Also 240W vs 105W is quite the difference, around 228% more power draw.
  2. From a business perspective. If I'm shopping for an Enterprise laptop right now, I'm looking for AMD CPU's. Better thermals and Performance for the price, I'm missing some the of the Intel Features, but its worth it. Dell has a very limited selection of business grade laptops that have AMD chips inside them. But I can get Thinkpad X, T or E model Lenovo's or HP Probooks with Ryzen CPU's no problem. (Supply issue aside) On the Server side, Dell has a decent selection of servers that support EPYC. Why should I pay $1600+ for an XPS13 when I can get a better X1 for $1400, starting model(No Feature parity)
  3. Ooh, This would come in handy for an dashboard wall. At a previous place of employment we had multiple computers driving 9 wall TV's displaying data. 1 computer per 3 displays. With PCI M.2 Expansion slot you could have one PC drive as many displays as it has slots available.
  4. This is the interesting part, I'm curious to see how it will compare. My guess is that its going to go ahead against the new mid range mobile CPU's in terms of performance but better thermals. Glad they are pushing USB 4, it should equal things out for the thunderbolt vs USB shit fest. Looks like "PCI lanes?" are very limited for now, I expect that will be resolved for desktop versions later.
  5. I'm Just happy both sides are pushing a really good increase in performance compared to last gen. Whats interesting now is that some cards are made with one specific resolution in mind, with one series for each major resolution. Its adding a layer to the market. 2070/5700 was aimed at 1440p, 2080 and 3080 are aimed at 4K and the 3090 at 8K.
  6. It would be a great acquisition by GreenPower Motor Company from BC.
  7. That's a big no no, you do not want any processing from the camera on a DSLR. You want the image to be as raw as possible and process the image yourself later. From a consumer side it might be appealing, but I think its too late to save the consumer DSLR market.
  8. The DSLR market has been shrinking for a while now and is going to keep shrinking. From 2014: https://www.eoshd.com/photo/market-dslrs-shrinking-dramatically-canon-nikon-blame/ The fact that most people are happy with the good enough camera's that are on phones is one of the factors shrinking this market. I don't think its going to kill it tho. Its going to become a specialized market instead of a general consumer market. Hell think of the last time you went to a tourist spot, most of them are using their phones, not a point and shoot or a DSLR. My Pentax K series still kills it compared to an Iphone 11 or Oneplus 8.
  9. I've had no issue with the drivers for my 5700 XT. Physically though I've done the following: tighten one loose screw on the cooler bracket. it was quite loose. recently removed the piece of metal in between the 2 slots needed for the 5700 XT. It was in the way of one of the exhaust. This has dropped the temps to normal levels and the fans are quite less noisy.
  10. The E595 need a Minimum of 45W to charge. So anything with a 60W power delivery rating will work no issues. Bellow 45W it might function but not charge.
  11. I've got good news for you, you can use these no issue https://www.startech.com/ca/Cards-Adapters/Laptop-docking-stations/usb-c-mini-docking-station~DKT30CHPD Its what I assign everyone here with E495 or E595's.
  12. Having a SFP+ Ports makes it even more viable for something like a NAS. 10Gbit networking is getting cheaper real quick.
  13. https://wccftech.com/huawei-preps-desktop-pc-motherboards-featuring-up-to-8-core-kunpeng-920-arm-v8-cpus/ Huawei has been in the server world for a while now, selling mostly in asian markets, so this would be their entry in the PC market. It looks like they are targeting the Entreprise side of things. The LOM port seems to be a SFP+ port but I am having issues find the documentation on it. With China going away from American made computers and computer parts, these Huawei PC's would fill in the gap.
  14. This is something that should be automatic in monitors like in cell phones, where the brightness is adjusted automatically with the amount of surrounding light. I'm kinda surprised its not come up yet? Not a lot of people know this but when you drive at night you should dim your dashboard to allow you to see better and further. This applies mostly outside of cities. @LinusTech
