To be honest, China's advantage in this is mostly down to supply chain. Specifically sourcing of parts. There's no substitute to having factories that produce the parts for your product be located in the near vicinity of your factory. It helps you do quick problem-solving in case of quality...

3rd try - forgetting the i740 and doomed successor i752 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel740

They should simplify and focus what people know. Core i9 X90 Core i9 X80 Core i9 K90 Core i7 K70 Core i5 K60 Core i5 S40 Next generation, Core i9 X290 Core i7 K270 Etc.. I9, i7, i5 = class X/K/S/U = features First number = generation Last two digits = specific SKU

That looks a lot like the new Microcenter Powerspec system EK teased on their facebook just days ago ... https://www.facebook.com/EKWaterBlocks/photos/a.309783935742311/1925655910821764/?type=3&permPage=1

AMD implemented this kill-switch with "OC mode" which is enabled when you go >XFR ratio. The problem with the kill-switch is that you can no longer benefit from Core Performance Boost features. Specifically, having a higher core frequency in single thread. In OC mode you can only sync all core...

How are any of these scores "3DMark records" ? Fire Strike (1xGPU): 32346 by K|ngp|n Fire Strike Extreme (1xGPU): 19361 by K|ngp|n Fire Strike Ultra (1xGPU): 9892 by K|ngp|n Time Spy (1xGPU): 14219 by K|ngp|n This claim is not even close to a record.

Funny story: it's not the actual temperature that is causing this, but the reported temperature. You can use SenseMI skew to drop the reported temperature and see the memory become more unstable :)

Are you sure? There's a thread running at Overclock.net with 1.5 million views and 22,000 replies on the Crosshair VI . It was started by Elmor himself and he's in the top-20 posters in that thread. If there's anything you can't accuse him of it's lack of communication with the customer base.

Actually, Haswell and Skylake were both new architectures. Also, Sandy Bridge was on 32nm process. Ivy Bridge brought that down to 22nm and Broadwell to 14nm. Not quite "the same design".

It's only stable at 6.7 GHz in Wprime 1024M too

Nvidia didn't come up with the idea. ROG had the "pimp my rig" series in local regions before.

In before Jorge's memory rant. Oh wait too late :D

Nice!

Thumbs Up

And so they continue to alienate industry partners ...
