    Intel 10th Generation Core "Comet Lake-S" Desktop Processor Boxed Retail SKUs Listed

    To ask some valid questions instead of continuing the bashing of AMD vs. Intel - under what circumstance can this be used? Same jokes as with Intel's vulns where the attacker already needs to have full admin access to the system? Can this be used from outside sources without actual access...

    Intel 10th Generation Core "Comet Lake-S" Desktop Processor Boxed Retail SKUs Listed

    Interesting comment - a 2 - 4% FPS lead (at 1080p) for Intel, while having a 10 - 20% price difference (9900k vs. 3900x) and also higher power consumption. What most DIY builders look at is not the peak performance, but the costs vs benefits comparison. If you're only interested in the max...

    Where's the Ryzen Effect? Intel posts Record Financials

    Source was metioned in an earlier post: Link to source Screenshots from said source: and I actually misread the numbers of employee's - they have increased, which is nice.

    Where's the Ryzen Effect? Intel posts Record Financials

    Indeed, 1.3B less income and just a little more than 3000 employees less (2018 vs 2019)! How is that a "record"?

    AMD Agesa ABBA with Boost Clock Fix Tested on Ryzen 3900X

    Ah, didn't order with them (outside of Germany) since 2015. Cyberport still delivers though! :D https://www.cyberport.de/service/kunden-international/eu-laender-und-drittland.html Most of the tech should also be able to be delivered to Ireland from amazon.de though.
