3 Core PowerPC (with SMT) probably just made more sense to MS then a duel core netburst based intel CPU (with larger latency between cores) which was what intel had available at the time. There isn't any bad blood there. Netburst was well known to not be competitive at the time.
The LOWEST wattage Pentium D part was 95 Watts and only ran at 2.7ghz with a tray price of 93 USD.
remeber the 360 ran at 3.2 GHZ and LAUNCHED at 300 USD. And had a smaller die.
This wasnt a "burned by intel" move it was Intel can not meet our needs for the next gen move. I cant imagine a single person at Intel took it personally.
Oh man, T50RP and budget amp do not have any place in the same sentence. They are the second most difficult to drive headphones that I own.
I honestly can't give you good advice because I jumped straight into speaker power amplifier territory with the Emotiva BasX A-100 (A2M is current version)
The SMSL SH6 might have the power to drive it
The Topping L30 II looks to have the power of the magni
Then just get an Aux to RCA cable (3.5mm TRS to RCA)
Oh and I had a decent experience with a Douk Audio headphone amp but that specific one wouldn't run your headphones
Thanks, i will probably disable it, dont rly want my cpu to throttle all the time. But if something is not gonna work well ill just put it back to default but i doubt anything bad will happen. Thanks a lot!!
While the Switch was very weak by home console standards, it's really a handheld console at its core and by those standards it was pretty impressive at the time of its launch. The Tegra X1 was one of the better SOCs Nintendo could've went with at the time. Might've been a few years out of date but that's console development for you.
Also it doesn't actually run Android. Nicked some of the driver code but it's still mostly its own thing.
Nintendo 64 - My copy of FIFA 99 and Mystical Ninja 2 Starring Goemon both had songs. So did Conkers bad fur day (it was an entire opera about poo).
Wii - The Wii was the most innovative console of its generation both in terms of its target market and its controllers. I have no idea how you could say it had no other innovation.
The switch is absolutely too long in the tooth and I really hope the successor is backwards compatible because I would love to play TOTK on something with higher framerates. It's a much nicer game running on Yuzu than natively (I don't feel bad since I bought the game anyway).
Nintendo have often released very crippled hardware platforms for their games to be released on.
Nintendo 64 - Most games under 32 megabytes due to lack of space on their chosen media. Textures reduced to mud, no real music just MIDI tunes.
Gamecube - Multi platform and first party games limited in capacity due to 1.5GB small discs when the PlayStation 2 had access to DVD9.
Wii - Repackaging of Gamecube hardware with support for DVD, no other innovation.
Wii U - Awful controller gimmick that flopped spectacularly.
Switch - Very underpowered Nvidia Shield rebrand after the Shield flopped, reliance on Android and only really able to provide a 720p gaming experience.
Nintendo have the ability to make really magical games, they just always released them on hardware that was weak as hell. They also rabidly attack people who spend a lot of hours making emulators to circumvent the hardware issue, it isn't about unwillingness to buy games it's about getting a decent experience.
Old school Japanese dinosaur exects simply do not understand the modern technological world well enough to stop this from being an issue. The Switch Lite can't even Switch...
The key question I would ask is, which DAW do you intend to use? If it's Logic then you need a Mac, in this case I would suggest perhaps the M1 Macbook Air. If it is FL Studio or another windows developed program then I would have other recommendations.
When it comes to music production, there is a very distinct divide between use of Mac dependent software, and wholly able to run a workflow on Windows.

SSD or Solid State Drive is a storage device containing non-volatile flash memory, used in place of hard drive because of its much greater speed. Unlike a hard drive, a solid state drive doesnt have any moving parts. It has two main components - A flash controller and NAND flash memory chips.
More information on solid state drives can be had from here..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
This guide differentiates SSDs in different tiers based on their DWPD, sustained writes, controllers and NAND types.
Make Ctrl + F your Best Friend...
NOTE - MANY MANUFACTURERS ARE REPLACING THE KEY COMPONENTS OF SSDS (CONTROLLERS & NAND FLASH) WITH INFERIOR COMPONENTS WITHOUT INFORMING THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THIS LIST IS BASED ON THE COMPONENTS (CONTROLLERS & NAND FLASH) THAT THE SSD CAME WITH AT THE TIME OF LAUNCH.
Samsung 980 uses TLC memory (128 layer v-nand). It does 3.5 GB/s read, 3 GB/s write, and has a write endurance of 600 TB.
Crucial P3 uses QLC memory (176 layer) . It does the same speeds but has a write endurance of 220 TB (for the 1 TB version)
Samsung 980 can use up to around 160-200 GB (on the 1 TB model) of memory in pseudo-SLC cache (where you get faster write speeds and higher endurance) as a write cache. Once that amount is filled, the write speeds drop to around 300 MB/s
In the first picture below, the 500 GB version of Samsung 980 can be seen in red ... around 100 GB are written at ~ 2.5 GB/s and then as the pSQL write cache gets full, speeds drop to ~300 MB/s
Once the high speed transfer is done and the drive is idle, the cache recovers at around 30 GB per minute (the controller moves data to permanent tlc memory while idle)
The Crucial P3 can use ALL the QLC memory in pSLC mode, so the more empty space you have the more can be used in pSLC mode as write cache.
Basically, whatever free space there is, divide it by four and that's the pSLC memory.
On the 2 TB model reviewed by Tom's hardware, you can see in the picture below in red, how it could write around 550 GB of content at around 3.2 GB/s and then the sLC cache got full and the drive had to start converting some of this pSLC memory back into QLC .. so the controller alternates between converting to TLC, accepting more data, converting to TLC and so on... so you get the speeds like in the chart below ... less than 100 MB/s for some time, then a burst of 1-1.5 GB/s, then again less than 100 MB/s
When the drive is fairly empty, it's ok, as you're never going to write 250 GB at a time (which would be the amount of pSLC for a 1 TB model) but it gets worse the more the drive gets full...
For example let's say for example you use 800 GB out of 1 TB and you want to install a 60 GB game. There's only 200 GB empty, so only around 40 GB of pSLC write cache ... you install the 50 GB game and the first 40 GB get installed in 10-15 seconds and then the other 10 will take a couple minutes at 100 MB/s
It has nothing to do with TPM.
Secure Boot is to block rootkits by only accepting bootloaders that is trusted (using digital signature).
What is unclear on the article is if you lock Secure Boot to Windows, does it still work? Or it relies on the user to leave it to "Other", which you now fall under how good the UEFI maker cares about security. Like MSI which by-pass Secure Boot, so might as well not exist.

After the recent backpack warranty controversy Gamers Nexus re-evaluated where LTT stands as a company and decided to not treat them as a friend anymore, but as a company like MSI, EVGA, etc. As a result he called out Linus' behavior during the whole warrany controversy. I personally found it rather funny that he put in clips of Luke's expressions when Linus talks about it, showing that Luke had a much better understanding of the whole situation while Linus only cared about the T-shirts he sold because of it.
GN has again earned my respect for setting a friendship aside for a moment to report objectively.
I wonder if Linus can do the same thing and take this criticism to heart or if he'll dig himself a hole 🤔
Here is the video: (The LTT segment goes on until 15:35)
So what's your take on this?
Do you respect GN for going this route or do you think they only did it to cause more controversy for clicks?
For me LTT has lost an incredible amount of credibility purely because of their CEO's public behavior during the last year.
It was a couple of WAN shows ago that Linus talked about how companies are not your friend, not even LTT. Now he's shown that it's not just LTT who doesn't care about their community, but also their CEO who prefers T-shirt sales over a good relationship with his own community.
