This is true and it happens in the laptop space. It makes sense there because most of people have no idea about hardware and most of them think they need a laptop. That's why 75+% of the laptops are overpriced garbage. For the desktop space though, I don't think it's worth producing many SKUs...

LOL What kind of a joke is this? So my AP201 is SFF case now?!!! Anyway, that's pointless statements from the greens. They don't have a clue about what SFF is or they try to reinvent it with 2.5 slot gpus and mATX cases!!

I don't see a point releasing so many different models, simple and 3D V cache equipped. Having Intel with powerful x600K CPUs, I think it would be a good time for a tier shift. For example the 9600X to be a 8/16 CPU at 65W, the 9700X a 12/24, both non vcache SKUs. And then 9800X3D 8/16 with all...

I have games on Steam, Epic, EA, Ubisoft Connect and GOG. Most of the times I check the allkeyshop.com, compare the prices and buy accordingly. I never download from torrent etc.

That's a suicidal movement. They should lower the prices of the 7000, so they get more people on board with AM5. All of them will then buy the 9000, 11000 or whatever comes next. The AM4 users are going to put Intel platform into consideration before they upgrade.

Every company pushes the envelope with the tech they have. Intel went the 6+Ghz route-no matter the consumption route. AMD could have done the same. But no. They went the 3D V cache route. When Intel jumps to next gen tech, AMD will have to do something, if the 3D Vcache is not enough. The...

Chiplets are good for cpus that target MT applications. For gaming, monolithic cpus are still the king. The gap between nVidia and AMD has widen to a ridiculous amount. A couple of days ago I read about companies that ordered 5b, 14b, 30b chips from nVidia. ....b=billions $. China’s internet...

....I don't understand why they put RT in games when it has meaningless impact in the final image because of the type of the game or when they don't know how to implement it correctly.

nVidia shouldn’t do more than keeping the same CUDA core number as the 4090 and double the RT/Tensor cores. The raster performance is irrelevant in this segment of gpus for me.

5 years ago at 50th birthday. 5700XT and 3700X. After all the success on the CPU front, it would be nice to have released a 55th anniversary edition of a 3D CPU.

AMD gpus performance is not bad. Actually it is great. The package is bad. Intel made FSR look like a joke in their first attempt. I would sacrifice the performance crown for a better package overall. It took years to change the mindset from Intel Core to AMD Ryzen but it did happen. That’s why...

1080Ti, 2080Ti were one of a kind for different reasons. The first was ridiculously fast and came with 11GB VRAM at good price. The second was not that fast in general and it was expensive but it came with11GB VRAM and DLSS (and RT), making it a viable option even 6 years later. The 3080 was...

Titan RTX is not a souped 2080Ti. It had quadro optimisations making it faster than a 3090 at specific software.

I don’t think nVidia release a beastly 5090 when AMD can’t even match the 4090. A cut down GB202, 20-25% faster than 4090 and they call it a day. See you in 2027 again.

Well, although the 5800X3D is decent, not for 5 years as was written above, the 7800X3D is miles ahead in cpu limited conditions. If the 9800X3D is that faster than the 7800X3D, I don’t think we see a 10000 series on AM5. AMD will kill AM5 and introduce AM6 and 10KX3D regardless the memory...
