That is an unfortunate discrepancy between our experiences.

I’m using mobile Chrome in a private tab without any Adblocking addons, but don’t remember being bothered with ads on Phoronix in years. Very limited banner ads, if even.

Feels like DDR5 capabilities have been running away from what boards and memory controllers can reasonably support, bar the lowest amount of ranks/channels and non-optimal clock ratios.

It’s truly impressive how they manage to find another infinte money glitch every few years, each one with more exploding demand and even more scaled up products.

For clarity:

This CPU launched on October 19th, but this particular review was posted today as a sidepiece to the 7980X/7970X article.

Adding to that, it doesn’t really help when we have users who can’t tell the difference between product showcases/info vs. a full review anymore and misflair their posts.

This then derails many of the comments about it not being a proper review, which happened with the last GN motherboard roundup too. Always make sure to report when stuff like this pops up.

Don’t worry, ASUS is already working on the Z890 Formula, which will get a premium block made from the finest pig iron.

True, completely forgot that there wasn’t a very large overhaul last gen.

Am I reading those Cuda core projections right?

GA102 to AD102 increased by about 80%, but the jump from Ad102 to GB202 is only slightly above 30%, aside from no large gains going to 3nm?

Might not turn out that impressive after all.

GDDR7 memory chips will be in production with either 2 or 3 GB sizes, which means 36GB of VRAM on 384-bit bus could be a possibility for next gen.

We already have the original IEEE article posted, no need for the dumbed down Tom’s Hardware version with a nonsense title.

Never seen this one before and no luck googling.

Today’s German lesson:

Knowing his wacky idioms, the headline ‘Igor in danger’ (‘Igor in Gefahr’) is quite likely a reference to ‘Raab in Gefahr’. This was a popular section in ‘TV Total’, one of Germany’s biggest late night entertainment shows, running 1999-2015.

Can’t wait for Samsung to skip these again in Europe, in favor of their own Exynos battery drainers.

At least one year of them doing the right thing, I guess.
