We don't know because AMD hasn't announced anything yet. Though if you look back at previous generations, a pattern emerges: Ryzen 3000 -> CPUs and APUs Ryzen 4000 -> only APUs Ryzen 5000 -> CPUs and APUs Ryzen 6000 -> only APUs Ryzen 7000 -> CPUs and APUs Ryzen 8000 -> ? I would not be...

A CPU architecture like Zen 2 (Ryzen 7020 series) which is vulnerable to Retbleed and SQUIP, and the only thorough mitigation is to disable SMT. A GPU architecture like Vega (Ryzen 7030 series) which is now on reduced driver support, and doesn't decode AV1 in hardware so your device will run hot...

There were process improvements (Intel 14nm++++) which lead to more performance/higher clocks at same wattage. Also every generation fixed a couple of security vulnerabilities (Meltdown, Spectre, L1TF, MDS, Retbleed, etc.) which made mitigations unnecessary, which heavily reduced performance on...

Intel posted a slideset called "Core Truths" which calls out AMD for rebranding old CPU architectures as new. I think this is correct and AMD deserves to be criticized for such preying on unsuspecting buyers. However this is an instance of the Intel pot calling the AMD kettle black, as Intel...

I never said you were wrong? "Apple never left RISC." is however ambiguous so that they started out with CISC is important clarification.

Apple did start out with CISC and yes actually left RISC. m68k (CISC) to ppc (RISC) ppc to x86 (CISC with caveats) and x86 to arm (RISC).

I think it is completely ok to point out that this watermark is due to Microsoft being Microsoft, and nobody else treats their users in that way. I think it is more alike the Windows 10 Education watermark which existed from RTM to Anniversary Update. Not necessarily, the relative lack of...

I would rather expect the contrary - if Intel foundry business cannot get their act together at some point their fabs may be be spun off. I don't know how many more misses they can swing before corporate beancounters decide it is enough. And then AMD could use Intel fabs for I/O chiplets or...

The plan is perhaps the same as with Intel Clover Trail that broke with Windows 10 1703, which was doing nothing to the driver, and just blocking it from updating.

I think that "high end" is relative. The market for $5K gaming PCs exists because there is an audience actually willing to pay that much. Those people simply didn't exist in large enough numbers 10 or 20 years ago. You can game totally fine on an RX 6600 which was $200 on Black Friday. I'd...

Does your monitor have a headphone jack? You could use that as an interim solution until you get your hands on something better.

I'm actually more confident in the company's survival with EVGA strictly winding down the GPU business and their plan not including selling 2x as many PSUs and 5x as many mobos to make up for it. Had they depended on making up lost revenue in other areas, the company would have been doomed for...

Given reports like this https://hardforum.com/threads/my-arc-380-adventure.2021738/ it seems plausible that Intel will stop releasing AIB cards next generation and focus on laptop and server chips, where they can validate the supported configurations. i740 was technology they bought from...

ECC generally works if the mobo manufacturer officially states ECC support in the mobo specs. With the ASUS TUF X570-PLUS you are in luck, it supports ECC as long as your CPU does. You mean Ryzen mobos which claim ECC support but don't actually correct? Can you link to a source for this? The...

I'm late to the party, but one aspect of 64-bit Windows is that it runs both 32-bit and 64-bit software, and each requires its own set of DLLs to load into memory. So typically your RAM use will be higher. Connecting a Windows 7 PC to the Internet is a bad idea. If the person just needs a...

Depending on how popular the Steam Deck ends up being, 3rd parties might find a way to offer upgrades/extras if Valve refuses. Like NB51 offered modern mobo/CPU for some older Lenovo Thinkpad laptops. Personally, I'd like to see a 1080p FreeSync screen upgrade, and maybe replacing the ambient...

Computerbase did measure 12900KS power consumption during gaming, and it was quite high (no 5800X3D numbers yet as they stick to NDA). While the 12900K consumed around 100W during gaming, the 12900KS often consumes 140W and more...

Distrowatch doesn't measure distro installs... in fact that website's distro ranking is as useless as it gets for determining the popularity of a Linux distro. Both Microsoft and Apple use binary translation to run x86 code on ARM and reach >60% of native performance. Otherwise performance...

The compatibility issue wasn't that fundamental. Microsoft already had that with Windows NT on MIPS, PowerPC (on Alpha there was DEC FX!32). Also the jailbroken Windows RT devices showed that you could run .NET applications fine without any modifications. So while Microsoft might have had good...

If I can install OpenWrt on it, it is still good to use.

There wasn't even a way to turn that off except for jailbreaking. Depends on what you meant by "permission". If you had recommended updates enabled in Windows Update, well Microsoft counted Windows 10 as recommended update to Windows 7. This is known as "dark pattern" and is far worse than...

I think the complaints have more to do with being forced to break with old habits than actual disruption. There exist other (and arguably, better) indicators to help purchasing decisions, which is the value of reviewers to consumers. Indeed what good is lamenting about MSRP from six years ago if...

I think HWUB could have done better here. They could have used a 6600XT and limit CU count and VRAM on the driver level. That would still not have limited VRAM bandwidtch and Infinity Cache but it would have used RDNA2 architecture.

Another option would be to use a Bluetooth mouse and pack a USB Bluetooth dongle, for those PCs that lack Bluetooth.

HFSExplorer will work only with HFS/HFS+ volumes in my understanding. If the Mac was running a recent version of macOS, it likely used APFS. On Linux/Ubuntu, you can install libfsapfs-utils or apfs-fuse and access APFS volumes. If the drive has hardware faults, do not attempt any kind of...

There is normally no danger of this happening. Changing the boot settings may cause your Windows install to not boot, but you can still go to UEFI setup before Windows tries to boot and revert the setting. The only exception to this is the "fast boot" (or similar) setting, this may skip...

Do I understand correctly that your system starts normally just there is no output on the display? In any case, if your CPU has an iGPU then you can try without the GPU installed and off the mobo display connectors. What could have gone wrong: Maybe you didn't connect ATX12V or PCIe power...

I think it's not that simple. PS4 has unified memory, with full bandwidth access to both the CPU and the GPU. PCs have bottlenecks that the PS4 APU does not have, so will have to make up with vastly faster hardware. That includes the graphics API. There was an excellent article series on porting...

That is around 10% better than Rocket Lake. So not terrible, but also not overly exciting.

As the son is tech-savvy enough to uninstall the parenting app, I think the parent has no chance of controlling any device that is used by the son. If the son bought the phone with his own money, he could just buy another phone and hide it from his parents. There are plenty of decent smartphones...

No. There are two types of USB-C to HDMI adapters, one is using USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode and a DP->HDMI converter. Which is what you should use if your phone supports DP Alternate Mode. The other type uses a DisplayLink or Fresno Logic chip to convert USB to HDMI and can be used by...

Crucial infamously swapped out TLC memory for QLC in the later product revisions of the P2, I would avoid that unless you get a bottom bargain deal for it. Swapping out components is normal nowadays, but this sort of performance degradation went too far. WD wasn't much better by the way, if you...

This is not an incompatibility, if CPU and mobo were incompatible then the PC would not run at all. A520 mobos unofficially support the 3400G, given recent enough BIOS. My guess is that either the PSU, the mobo, or the CPU are faulty. With the reported symptoms pointing to PSU. If you can get...

I think your premises are all wrong. Google has actually created their own OS and kernel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Fuchsia and is working on an Android Runtime for it. Google has made lots of contributions to the Linux kernel that implement major features used by Android, such as...

Enabling Jumbo Frames in your network card settings can make a difference on the order of 5%, which seems to at least fit the symptoms here.

Even more, Stadia itself is running Linux. So every Stadia game is already Linux-compatible, just in many cases the Linux version is not published (yet).

Also don't forget that backdoored bootlegged XCode which was popular in China https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XcodeGhost

Can this thread be moved to the Steam Deck subforum? Of course there are saving effects if you make many of the same thing. But the retail cost of packaging and distribution is inherhent in both the Steam Deck and the CPU. Adding stuff to the CPU (like mobo, cooling, PSU, controller, screen...

PS5 doesn't come with battery (except in the controller) or screen. Besides the economies of scale that works in their favor, PlayStation and Xbox do sell below cost. They make the money back on sales of games and accessories. I think it was after PS4 release when Sony stated that with the...

Ray-tracing support for RADV is improving quite a lot lately. It can render some games correctly now, although performance work is still necessary (currently about half of Windows performance). https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=RADV-RT-Quake-II-RTX-Correct Once RADV supports...
