WHITE PCB, yes This is basically a clone of the Gigabyte model, comparing with the pics.

I still think this is possibly going in the purported PS5 Pro. The embedded and shared LPDDR5X RAM kinda gives it away. The specs are direct upgrades from the Zen 2/Oberon APU of the PS5 and Zen 2/Scarlett APU of the Series X too. However, I too really wish this goes in some sort of...

@pzogel Not sure if you can but try playing Apex Legends at its engine limit (300 FPS) on a 240+Hz monitor at 2000Hz to 4000Hz polling rate. This is where you will definitely "feel" the difference from standard 1000Hz. EDIT: For example, when doing fast techniques like wall bouncing, doing the...

Yeah, this DAC/Amp is really aimed at an audiophile who is also a power user/core enthusiast. The fact that this has e-ARC capability through the HDMI ports is a big plus, with ASIO support being the icing on the cake. Too bad about the $1,300 price though, but hey FiiO knows who this is aimed...

Looking at the specs of these new analog optical 2nd gen switches, they should be technically match or be better than the current hall effect magnet switches (Gateron Lekker). I can't wait for the incoming Wooting 80HE (with the Lekker L60 V2 switches).

Correction, with the latest BIOS it goes straight to 54W.

Take note that the VLink (DP-in) only does 60Hz when used as an external display. It only reaches 165Hz when in standard operation. It can handle 30W TDP if you use RyzenAdj to force it higher, not bad at 70C. Supports integer scaling at 800p quite well, if you enable it in the registry.

Just drop in some proper double shot shine-through keycaps and an easier way to install the ASIO driver and this would be one of the better 75% keyboards I can use. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a 2.4 GHz direct wireless connection, but is completely understandable with its unique audio...

The key factor here is it was just one rig that suffered the crash. The teammates and the other teams PCs didn't seem to suffer the same problem. It's the configuration of that single PC to blame.

While I too hope it goes into a laptop or SFF desktop, the specs look like it's supposed to go into a next generation console.

Maybe so we can talk/chat with our phones themselves when we're bored and lonely? Generate random images to jerk fulfill our entertainment itch? :laugh: Yeah, I have no clue on why we need an entire neural network on our phones.

Thats what I mean. As long as the OEM implements whatever platform they are buying properly, they can make it a good mobile device with considerable battery life. My theory is that the junker/gaming laptops just have their chipsets and CPUs stuffed in without any proper optimization, which is...

As long as the OEM implements their firmware/BIOS/UEFI correctly, the Intel CPUs and chipsets can get acceptable battery life (not necessarily better than AMD) without affecting performance. I don't know if Microsoft is up to the task since neither the Surface Pro 8 or 9 had good battery life...

NPUs have already been in use on smartphones since around 2017. Its usual use is for pre- and post-processing of camera photos. It's also used for text scanning and selection in images.
