    OK. We're done with this.

    Can't say this wasn't expected. Intel Reorganizes In Wake of 7nm Woes; Chief Engineering Officer Murthy Renduchintala To Depart (Anandtech.com) I really hope AMD hammers home Ryzen 4th gen desktop.

    Intel, lately (I mean the past 10 to 15 years) have been releasing their next gen CPUs to mobile (laptops) first, then desktops. Performance-wise, Ryzen mobile CPUs have been the better bang for the buck. Single core performance favors Intel. Multi-core favors AMD. As for performance of Intel's mobile 10nm CPUs...only mild improvements. Performance was evolutionary rather than revolutionary. It wasn't like Ryzen 4000-series of mobile CPUs. It was

    I only watched the Halo Infinite trailer. Meh. I’ll look at the rest of the presentation later.

    *facepalm* O Intel. "7nm CPU products push out ~6 months-...12 months delay of 7nm process yield"

    Officially announced today, new APU chips: https://www.amd.com/en/processors/ryzen-with-graphics And a "Pro"-lineup: https://www.amd.com/en/ryzen-pro I'll be waiting to see the benchmarks for these APUs (namely the non-"Pro" set). I need a new ITX build.

    So let me get this straight, bigger company reject's guy's offer to make a product so guy throws a hissy fit and makes said product anyways. M'kay. Grow-up. Move on.

    Redundant thread.
  9. azrael
    Yeah, I can’t say I’m interested. Maybe if they were introduced a season earlier, I might have more interest.

    I only know the magnification reading, i.e. 8x25 = 8x Zoom at 25mm objective view. 10x42 = 10x zoom at 42mm objective view.

    Many companies are having a rough year thanks to the pandemic. If they had profit last year but a loss this year, I wouldn't say "Oh noes! ". There has to be a defined trend. Have they been trending downward for a few years now? Yes? Then there's a problem. No? Then meh.

    I can use the MX Anywhere ( I have one for my laptop), but it's not a long-term mouse. If I need a mouse while mobile, my MX Anywhere will do. Just don't ask me to use it for 8-9 hours/day. Same. While disappointed, I feel and see Apple's growing frustration with Intel. I would have liked to see Apple go with AMD (they already use AMD graphics) but given the roller coaster AMD went on to get to Ryzen CPUs and the Zen architecture to where they are, I understand Apple's desire to go their own way seeing that an iPad CPU can match a mobile x86 CPU. Intel's minor gains year after year have not helped them maintain a dominant position. The continuous round of Skylake-refreshes did them no good. Intel makes good looking gaming (read single-threaded) CPUs but once you move to multi-threaded performance (where workstations live), AMD looks better. One other note from this weekend caught my eye was the leaked benchmarks of the Intel Core i7-1165G7 "Tiger Lake" mobile CPUs. On par or better than Ryzen 4700U. But the Ryzen 4700U has been out for a few months now and Tiger Lake is due out mid-2020. And AMD's CPUs will likely still be cheaper for the performance you get. I wish Apple stuck around on the x86 platform, but jeez Intel, if 4th gen desktop Ryzen looks good, even I'll leave you.

    Comfy, yes. For my hand (that's the disclaimer). My larger hand leads me to larger mice. The G703 (and 403/603) is probably the smallest for my hand with the G900 (which I also have) at the farther end of that spectrum. Thankfully, working from home for the past few months gave me a chance to drive it outside of gaming. The right-hand hump of the G703/403/603 shape was more comfy for long-term use. The lack of hump for the G900/903 shape is fine for short-term use but full work-day use had me going back to something more ergo-ly shaped. Your mileage may vary.
  14. azrael
    I have a G703 and the shape is definitely like the Mamba or Deathadder to me, but with less sharp angle changes and slightly smaller.

    Yeah, I still find it hard to swallow Logitech's pricing on their "gaming" gear. Gamers love them linear switches...I hate 'em. Tactile/Browns are my switch of choice. They're also one of the few companies I can COMFORTABLY palm-grip almost all of their mice. The true icing on the cake is if the input device has on-board memory and actually works without the need for a driver. I miss those days of only loading vendor software only if I needed to configure my device, not to run my device.

    Makes me want to pull out X-Wing vs TIE Fighter. I need to spin up a VM and install some classic space flight sims. Reading some of the comments, people want a 3rd person view...you might as well play Battlefront.

    Same processor as last previous but with a spec bump. Reminiscent of the Core i9 9900K, 9900KF, and 9900KS.

    AMD To Launch New Ryzen 3000 XT CPUs: Zen 2 with More MHz AMD...did you just pull an Intel???
  20. azrael
    Built on the Frostbite-engine...So they forked the Starfighter Assault-game mode and made an entire game out of it. But yeah, 5v5 seems half-assed.

    Effective for maybe the RT business model. But with a crowd of what...20-30 people per convention visit, and probably the same 20-30 people, I question the effectiveness. Like I said, with the convention circuit effectively dead this year, they might as well start doing press releases. But since it's radio silence, I'll just assume there's nothing to talk about.
  22. azrael
    Frankly, it doesn't stop them from doing press releases. Any chance of a in-person convention this year is a pipe-dream. Unless you want to get sick.

    Nvidia has always held the crown on performance. Their problem is, due to their weird pricing, it’s now premium performance. RTX cards are not cheap. It’s not hurting Nvidia, but given the current climate, people are going to think twice once the sticker shock kicks in. Radeon is more worth it on the budget to mid-range. AMD’s next line of APUs have sparked my interest though. I’m looking to update my ITX build and leaks of Team Red’s next APUs has caught my eye.
  24. azrael
    Intel shows its cards this year with the release of Core i9-10900K, i7-10700K, i5-10600K. Still at 14nm and now sucking down more power now. Only marginally beating AMD here or there.

    TV Line is reporting a similar story; rough shooting schedule was a major factor. Long (and likely late) shooting hours of TV show while working out of Vancouver. The report says the injury wasn't a factor, but I would say the rigors of shooting a TV show do not lend time to recover from the injury making her more unhappy. Most network shows film for 8 months out of the year so there isn't much recovery time in there. It's not like sports where if you are injured, you are out for a whole season. They can't "substitute" an actor for a season.
