Big Cache!! Big Cache !! (Vanna White voice, clapping)
I think it was a good move to hold back a month , instead of quickly announcing or leaking as nVidia launched - another month to comb the drivers and optimize performance.
Navi was introduced at a good price point ..5600xt not so much &...
nVidia price feels like a Tesla 3 for $35k ...it dominates all news, sours the competition products & in the end so few are shipped at the 'claimed' price it should be a crime . The no inventory ampure release (just reviewers) through end of year feels like more of the same from nV . Where ever...
I think they will release the 4000s APU & not ship the true zen 3 desktops til next year . The XT refresh detail lends itself to that scenario too ..lets release 'new' cpus to test & talk about ..but literally the smallest increment in speed ..obviously they are saving the 4.0ghz base clock for...
like the $199 5500xt this isnt undercut nvidia but present an alternative at 1660 TI pricing - it is also halfway between $199 5500xt and $349 5700 pricing .
Of course there were some discounted 5700 being sold during the holidays close to $299 too . Heck there were Vegas out at just over $200...
I like both colors , usually I like LEDs but not a huge fan of RGB . So would do a Black case with RED LEDs or a Silver case with Blue LEDs ..think Corsair ML120s in every hole .
Any word when the ASUS Strix DTX board is shipping ?

I was excited by this with the CES coverage ..one of the techtubers was bashing the handle as 'flimsy' and kept pulling the handle out of the recess and then letting it drop back in to demonstrate - what a tard
What I like so far is that its made of aluminum , shipping in aluminum as well as...
Ahh , yes - the fan surprise ..they don't highlight that in the brochure.
The second surprise is that you can't buy the exact fan to match for a push pull - I think the Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED also is afflicted .
The third issue with RGB is the spigots ..lets say I add some rgb fans to...
$499 from Intel ? Hows about some Core i7 Extreme pricing at $999 or Skylake X (with all PCI-e lanes enabled) pricing .
Even if the pricing is reasonable will require a shiny new expensive mainboard , but in all fairness will cost less than a HEDT board ...probably
The only knock against AMD...
This is big , but suspect prices will raise within a year or two not unlike the cable cutter service.
I am looking forward to seeing the Wonderful World of Disney I watched as a kid again .. I will pay for this , but refuse to pay for CBS access ..

To me this seems like collusion, not unlike we saw in the RAM market and traditionally in the Gas prices - no one 'lowers' prices to put pressure on the competitor .
Instead we get a leak of a possible rate hike to test waters, then one raises prices (you tube direct tv now hulu) then the...
Bahahaha ...youse soo funny !
This show broke the mold when it came on the scene - maybe not MCU but some crossover like Punisher, Electra and of course the Defenders . It was gritty, brutal and dark ,, very adult Hero .
It is sad that Netflix is doing a clean sweep of the Marvel items than...
I really like the focus 650W ..is a great smaller quieter power supply for a very reasonable price .
My suggestions would be to take the RAM to 16GB ..saw some on sale for $125 today at one of the stores and newer chipset board

Feels like Skylake X .. lets price it way high and on the lower skus we will turn off something that is expected with the platform ..with skylake x it was the pci-x lanes that were abridged .
How did that work out Intel? Also it seemed like Intel spent more time in pricing tiers and skus ..than...
I thought the story was about 1st amendment right to speech , and freedom of the press ...which is freedom to publish .
We give up those rights and sign on to the whims of the corporate executives when you employ youtoob instaham ect for your sharing or ebay for your selling . My new favorite...
