Until Gigabyte starts producing their own CPU's it will not be "a 100% Gigabyte gaming desktop". I'm not the one to nitpick on things but this is mentioned two times in this article...

I don't understand why we went 40 years back in time in case design and now having to unscrew 4 screws every time you want to open your case is the standard. My Cooler Master Cosmos S ain't going nowhere anytime soon. Pulling on a simple lever to unlock the side panel is, like Americans say: the...

I cannot believe what TPU has become. Encrypting and decrypting all files on a computer is not a joke. A lot of things can go wrong and some of the files might become corrupted and unusable. Anyone who writes for TPU should know better than to advocate something like this...

I don't know why you would say that. Maybe your favorite sport is throwing random "insults" to random people, you know nothing about, hoping that it would stick...

None of this business was being done in the EU but on other continents. Nothing these two did was related to selling of products, it was strictly related to manufacturing. Those royalties were probably related to US patents filed at the US patent office and spoken of between two US companies, on...

Read the article again, this has nothing to do with patents and licensing. I quote from the article above: "Qualcomm paid billions of US Dollars to a key customer, Apple, so that it would not buy from rivals. These payments were not just reductions in price - they were made on the condition that...

Yeah, exactly that's why I was saying this is an extortion tax to be able to sell in the EU. Don't get me wrong, I am not really defending Qualcomm here. I quote from Engadget: "In 2015 Qualcomm was hit with a $975 million anti-monopoly fine in China, in 2016, the Korea Fair Trade Commission...

Yeah but the thing is that Intel has a manufacturing plant in Ireland, hence Intel is a European manufacturer. Those rebates were probably also directed at some European builders. Apple has no such thing, as far as I know, they only have data centers and other businesses in Ireland, no Apple...

Well the thing is that Qualcomm and Apple are American companies that fabricate their products in China. What does the EU have to do with any deal between these companies as long as they only sell their products here and not produce them? What does the EU have to do with Apple an American...

I'm an European but I'm really starting to doubt these EU decisions. A billion from Microsoft, one from Intel, one from Apple, now from Qualcomm. A billion here, a billion there, more and more this starts to look like extortion fees for companies being able to sell in the EU...

This would be unacceptable for me and a lot of people. Think about it this way: if you lose 5-10% performance on your CPU its like you changed out your CPU for an older generation chip. Even so, let's say it might work for you and me but how about servers with hundreds of CPU's in them? The...

When you say "I'm out" and then you come back again that only means one thing: the other person is making you angry. It also means that you are not a man of your word but that's another story. Your every action in this thread proves my words are true and everyone can see it. This article itself...

Of course yet again it's someone else's fault. Although nothing in my discourse was in any way or form uncivilized and could have been perceived as angry, once again you project something from inside yourself on someone else. Maybe what I've said has made you angry so in your head I'm the angry...

Here you are again projecting your own flaws unto others. This time on the whole humanity. You have made a mistake and were called out for it. What have you learned from this? Maybe try to better yourself? No! Everyone makes mistakes and there's nothing wrong with that. That's what you are...

Let me teach you something today. This is the definition of foolish: "lacking good sense or judgement; unwise." Now please tell me which one of us was the one acting foolish. Me, using my judgement to determine that it would be wiser to wait until this is sorted out? Or you, downloading and...
