Ah, yes, the tape which nobody uses. Right.

Are you going to buy less SSD and an HDD. So that you can use the always severely slower HDD more, so that you don’t have to, gasp, lose 1% read speed off the SSD, every day? Or, to not lose some write speed, particularly random writes, (because that’s where a penalty would be at at) but without really writing anything? No comment.

If by directstorage you mean the technology that isn’t even in meaningful use yet, but also only makes a clear difference on SATA SSD as of now? I have no comment on that one either.

Obviously if you’re at 75% and up it’d be a good time to look around for another drive. but sitting there, not daring to fill it up anymore because you’re scared? That is pointless, pedantic and stupid.

If it doesn’t need to be so fast why would you care about a 10-50% slowdown from peak SSD speeds?

HDD is for cold storage and very large storage needs.

Almost everything you hear is exaggerated. Fill the drive. Leave some room to work with is all.

you’re yet not aware this was a software problem and one of overmarketed shite motherboards. cough especiallyasus cough

Off every review, video and image I’ve seen of it, the screen was an obvious meh. For such a neat device, I’d want better. That sort of backlight bleed and bezel brings an aura of highly familiar, very cheap handheld device feel.

Everything that didn’t make the top SKU is practically the trash bin

You can just lower PPT TDC EDC if nothing else, you’ll get better boost on a 5800x3d that way.

Curve optimizer is there to reduce heat and increase boost, but if you buy a 5700x3d you seem to lose a lot of boost, so even a shittily tuned 5800x3d should stay at 4.1ghz all core without much headache.

I think they cancel each other out on average. Hopefully though some threads will be allowed to boost a little higher, or can be setup to do so.

It’ll keep up, the 5600x3d is rather consistently behind 5800x3d by 5-10% because of the fewer cores. 5600x3d is clearly ahead of a 5700x and 5800x by a decent deal over 10%, I think the 5700x3d will generally perform like a 5600x3d but with much more stable multitasking while gaming. Naturally, lends it definitely ahead of a 5700x in games. Maybe this is a 4.1 all core guarantee, where a few cores could boost higher?

The 5500x3d is what I wonder about, with a price like the 5600 has it’d be an incredible budget cpu, but the omission of two cores will make more sensitive as it deals with OS and other apps lending only three undisturbed. Eventually it’ll perform like a 5600 maybe even lower average but perhaps still more stable fps.

no usb dropout problems here, two cheap b450 boards and a zen 2 and two zen 3 cpus
