    AMD Gains CPU Market Share at Intel's Expense in Q1

    AMD will never overtake Intel in the CPU market itself....but it's very possible for AMD to overtake Intel in the desktop segment alone. It won't be any time soon.....but it's still a possibility.

    Apple Seeks to Patent MacBook Air Design, OLED Brightness

    Problem is, Apple likes to use patents to hinder innovation/competition...not promote it. Would be quite a bit different if Apple's intention was the contrary of what it's been proven to be.

    Apple Seeks to Patent MacBook Air Design, OLED Brightness

    I have issue with any patent of this type. I also have issue with patents filed purely to prevent competition or innovation, which is Apple's typical motivation. Maybe if Apple actually created something new or unique, it'd be a different story. Problem is, Apple is the least innovative...

    Apple Seeks to Patent MacBook Air Design, OLED Brightness

    Apple also has a habit of applying for patents on technology they've had nothing to do with.... Apple allied for a patent for using multiple OLED screens to produce 3D images, yet Apple was in no way related to the development of OLED screens according to the information I can find. So, why...

    Just a Question about amd

    I just had to replace an Intel motherboard for bent pins in the socket. I'd rather have the pins on the CPU as they're fairly easy to straighten.

    Analyst's Blame Nintendo For Poor Video Game Sales

    The developers are more responsible for the downward trend than Nintendo is. If they put half as much effort into developing an immersive and entertaining gaming experience as they do looking for someone to blame or trying to screw over PC gamers, they'd have more sales.

    GPU-Z 0.6.0 sensor readings

    No, I don't. I've monitored the card with both GPU-Z and the Asus Tweaking utility at different times. Only GPU-Z shows the abnormal readings. The 12V sensor reading is consistantly below 12V, which made me compare with Asus Tweak, which seems to mirror the readings I get for that...

    GPU-Z 0.6.0 sensor readings

    New to this forum so just let me know if my first thread isn't formatted or presented properly. In GPU-Z 0.6.0, I've noticed that a few sensors appear to read inaccurately. The VDDC sensor randomly shows negative voltage readings. The VDDC Current and VDDC Current In sensors randomly show...
