    All AMD 7nm is from TSMC, no? I know they have a couple Chinese fabs, but no clue which are handling 3000s.

    I am going to buy a 12/24, deactivate 4 cores, and try to OC the remaining 8 to 5GHz. Pray for me.

    With the upgrades to Instrucitons Per Cycle and Cache, I'm pretty sure the 2700x will be outmatched by even the 3600.

    Interesting thing about this--I currently run a 2400G and ran into the PCIe logjam as I started upgrading: board has two NVME slots, but using 2400G disables one. Then, when I added a Vega 56, I can get only get 8x (not 16x) out of its PCIe because APU eats half of it. Then, when I bought a PCIe...

    Agree on 5GHz. Bit sad, but the rest is so great. I wouldn't blame AMD for holding back. Just to get in the same performance ballpark, Intel is showing iGPU tests with their chips on ~3600 memory and AMD's on ~2400. The demo'd 9900K w/ 2080ti versus Ryzen 3800X w/ Navi RX5700 was an...

    Now which one is the best candidate for hitting 5.0GHz? i'm wondering if you could take a 3900x and disable some cores to drive the rest higher without too much energy increase.

    tl;dr Ryzen 3rd gen has performance parity with /slight advantage over Intel's best gaming CPUs at half the power and lower MSRP. Per AMD/Lisa Su Keynote @ Computex: Server: * 50 EPYC cloud instances in production right now * 1.5 exaflop supercomputer w/ advanced EPYC and Instinct * EPYC in...

    Finally got a Tiaris (account is level 14). Can she be built around? I haven't really gotten anything else in 2 10-pulls. update: had decent luck on following pull, got Leon and Egbert. I think I'll keep going with this. I am liking this a whole lot more than Fire Emblem.

    Dauntless - Co-op Action RPG - Ex Bioware devs

    This is awful, or at least really unfinished. The character creation is really goofy--masculine and feminine versions of the same faces, lots of glam eye liner. The combat isn't slow, but it seems like my left right arrow keys really lag behind my mouse. And the combat is mind numbing. Are there...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Man I remember my dad taking me for hike one day and making sure I knew birds and bees. I sort of already knew, but I appreciated his clinical/technical approach. I don't think he could have wrapped his upbringing around Pornhub and its kind. I'm trying to picture sitting down with Pornhub open...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I had a conversation with an old high school friend about this. If it weren't for the allure of Hacking/Phreaking/Anarchy/Warez/Viruses/Crackz, neither of us (or a lot of other people) would have become even half as interested in computers and tech skills as we are today. He said he has a hard...

    Do you really think so? He's a Stark from the North, who the South doesn't trust. He's also the weird tree guy, who the South doesn't believe in. His relationship to The Queen in the North doesn't really make sense--Westeros is unified but not? Aside from the mystical logic that it's all...

    If he's really a resurrected pawn of the Lord of Light, he should have died shortly after his purpose was served. Would have made more sense if Jon killed Dany, then himself, Drogon melts the throne and carries both off to some island with baby dragons.

    I suspect this ending is entirely GRRMs, and the difficulty writing it is the reason the books aren't finished. Adding insult to fan injury, GRRM handed the nascent ending to a couple of hacks.

    Not saying I know much about boxing, but sometimes things stick out as bad, like Ronda Rousey punches. Breazeale's feet walked him into that cross, and he dropped his left from chin to waist. It looked like really bad defense.

    Yeah, your HDL is what I would kill for. Mine is always around 42. The whole thing with cholesterol and heart disease is that the numbers simply don't show if it's making it into the arteries and causing the bulges that catch the plaque that creates blockages. I am not sure if a GP can order...

    That Dev is so French and paternalistic in his approach. This is why the game suffers. He's worrying about microphones and language compatibility before basic functionality...fucking A, if people worried about that, EQ would have never raided.
