    ZenTimings is a Nifty Little Memory Info Tool for AMD Ryzen

    Nice stereotype lesson here. First he is not russian, but bulgarian. Second - open source means no shit. Welcome to 2021. Allegedly and highly likely is not the same as hard facts, but it seems ppl has no critical thinking.

    Blizzard Announces Upcoming 'Battle for Azeroth' Expansion for World of Warcraft

    Clearly strange that its not mentioned the really big surprise on blizzcon - the new classic(vanilla-and other expansions) servers that blizzard are working on. They will come probably next christmas, but still its much more interesting news than the next crappy expac that is just rehashing of...

    Samsung Intros 2 TB Variants of 850 Pro and 850 EVO SSDs

    Speed is not the only argument - silence is what makes me buy second ssd and get rid of that monster that sometimes wakes me up at night.

    AMD Doesn't Trust its Own Processors - Project Quantum Driven by Intel Core i7-4790K

    Joseph Goebbels would be proud with TPU and some of its readers. The do the unimaginable to defend their bending of the information. Its a world-wide trend to invent news and model people's minds. Perhaps its a paid chore, or done because its modern. Whichever it is - its utter wrong and not...

    AMD Doesn't Trust its Own Processors - Project Quantum Driven by Intel Core i7-4790K

    Really going downhill TPU, since the last two years you are really going anti-AMD and so full of crap. I will have to find another tech site to follow, shame, really a shame.

    Is This The XFX Radeon R9 390 Double Dissipation?

    Looks like this is indeed R9 380, which is supposed to be rebrand of R9 290, which is the same size, have same cooler, have nothing to be developed, just bios flash for the name of the card - all fits.

    Cooler Master Announces CM Storm Swift RX Mousepads

    I am using CM pad right now and compared to steelseries that I own 2 of them its really nice, will see if it is durable enough. Little bit thicker, which is nice, soft for the palm, clean design that I prefer now and a lot cheaper.

    AMD to Switch to GlobalFoundries' 28 nm SHP Node in 2015

    I mean that with all the problems with process minimization the design of the chip is getting much more important, because smaller node is not solving all the problems of old designs as before. Progress is happening, but not like it was done before.

    2 Hardware Firewall?

    No need for all the trouble you will get. Just buy some nice router that is supported by dd-wrt or open-wrt. Flash it with either and configure whatever you like or need. For your need I doubt you need full fledged PC as router and it will consume much more power for no benefit.

    AMD to Switch to GlobalFoundries' 28 nm SHP Node in 2015

    Tech process is beyond the point where frequencies can be maximized. So it will be difficult to make enough progress to counter the lower frequencies. So smaller tech process will not be automatically good thing. And implementing smaller nodes is more and more difficult, add to this first...

    Carbon is next element that will continue the electronics in the Nano/Pico era.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Launch Date Revealed

    Nvidia always releases cut down products and they get obsolete usually way faster than competition - less memory, memory bus - last few generations were like this. 570 - nice gpu, not enough memory - got obsolete faster than 6970, 680 - same, 780 - will die faster than 290. 900 series will...

    AMD to Switch to GlobalFoundries' 28 nm SHP Node in 2015

    Smaller node size is not always a good thing. With transistors this small there are big issues of separating P-N transitions. So this is why latest cpus cannot have high clocks. So I think that 16nm will be the end of silicon era at least for cpus. And for APUs cpu part is enough for gaming...
