Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Why does Intel constantly change sockets vs why has AMD had AM4 locked in place for a few years? possible questions to explain: -any advantages /disadvantages to either Intels or AMDs design? does it favor the company, the consumer, or both? -does it limit AMDs feature list to stay with the same socket for so long? does it allow Intel to add features with each socket revision? -are all the pins used on a ryzen 1600 vs a 3600 for example or were there unused pins in early ryzen just to future proof the design? - do am4 motherboard venders suffer lower sales with less frequent upgrade cycles? -are they less likely to offer more choice and board features due to possible lower sales? -do recent 570 boards benefit more from the venders having experienced am4 for years vs having to always change for intel? -does intel REALLY need to change sockets constantly? like is it a technical reason or just intel being on top so they could do what they wanted -will intel adopt this path in the future? -will amd do the same again and lock am5 or whatever the next socket is for a set period in the future? -have sockets always changed/not changed in this way historically?

Posted October 29, 2019 Here's an interesting idea for a Techquickie: Why do some technologies hold up over time better than others? For example: I still use my Dad's old B&W hifi stereo that he bought in the 80s and it sounds excellent, but I would never consider using a monitor from the 80s. People still use IBM Model M keyboards and love them, but you wouldn't use a projector that's more than a few years old. Food for thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 6, 2019 Differentiate the Arm processor IP, what is a Cortex A, Cortex R, Cortex M and the associated numbers that go along with it. I see in ARM based processors things like "Based on the A53 core" and I'm not sure how to interpret that, I get its based on that particular IP, but how does it relate to performance and how does it relate to other A processors? Does an Arm A9 perform better or worse than an A77?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 21, 2019 Would you be willing to do a follow up video persay to xtreme pc with a distrobution of Linux called tinycore for much older and inferior pcs as I know it can according to firjns that it can run on an intel pentium Pro and onwards and can run chromium vlc after setting up alsa and thought this might be a good idea For tech quickie could you do a video about the group policy in Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 22, 2019 I mentioned this one in the LTT forum, but decided it would probably be more appropriate to use it as a Techquickie video. My suggestion is to make a video on whether APUs work better for budget rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 22, 2019 I simulated some builds and found that within a budget generally an APU will both outperform a processor and graphics card and cost less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 22, 2019 You can see here that when comparing builds with processors of virtually identical performance, a build with an APU and no dedicated GPU is slightly better than a build with an ordinary CPU and a dedicated graphics card, while being significantly cheaper.

Posted November 28, 2019 Hey Guys, Quick suggestion for a TechQuickie. I'd love to know more about how boost clocking works for various CPUs and how it's affected by things like the motherboard, VRM's, cooling (including cooling of the VRMs), and anything else that matters. The question comes up because I recently upgraded my CPU from a Ryzen 5 2400G to a Ryzen 7 2700, I was hoping that I would be able to take advantage of the 2700 boost clocking - so I also upgraded my motherboard to an ASUS B450 M - which is supposed to support boost-clocking. Alas, I do not seem to be able to get the cores into the boost clock range despite fiddling with multiple settings. I suspect that it's because the motherboard does not have VRMs. But I have to admit, I'm a bit out of my depth. I don't really want to want to become an "Overclocking Enthusiast" but I would like to know how to get the most out of my setup. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Posted November 28, 2019 1 minute ago, Iain Christie said: -snip- Every board has VRM's, some just have a more elaborate setup or better cooling on it. Assuming you mean you have a B450M-A, that doesn't have additional cooling on the VRM's, not meaning for CPU's above a Ryzen 5 (and even those are a stretch). Also, are you looking at single or all core boosts? AMD and Intel advertise single core boost clocks, while if you use more than 1 core, it wont reach that speed; more equally dividing all the speed among the cores. A decent way to know if your board is fit for your CPU is checking in on the tier list: Where the Prime-A is a Tier F board fit for a "maxed out 1300X" "We're all in this together, might as well be friends" Tom, Toonami. mini eLiXiVy: my open source 65% mechanical PCB, a build log, PCB anatomy and discussing open source licenses: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1366493-elixivy-a-65-mechanical-keyboard-build-log-pcb-anatomy-and-how-i-open-sourced-this-project/ mini_cardboard: a 4% keyboard build log and how keyboards work: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1328547-mini_cardboard-a-4-keyboard-build-log-and-how-keyboards-work/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
