Okay, so it doesn't sound like any patent is being infringed. But regardless, the HDMI Forum is saying to AMD 'if you provide open-source HDMI 2.1 drivers then we will revoke your license to implement HDMI hardware on your cards.' That's very unfortunate. How would allowing AMD to release...
AMD is legally forbidden to use HDMI 2.1 drivers that *AMD* developed to support HDMI 2.1 features under Linux? Have I misunderstood something? Else it would mean EVERY hardware device manufacturer could legally forbid someone writing driver support for Linux, which is ridiculous. AMD isn't...
Watch it on twitch.tv to see if it is to your liking. Lirik is streaming it as I'm writing this.
Weird. It was 48GB on my PC and I always kept the game updated.
I had a look at the CPUID instruction in that manual. Just the massive amount of information that can be returned by the CPUID instruction given the value in EAX really does draw a picture of the sheer abundance of accumulated changes in Intel CPU micro-architectures over the years. So long...
It looks like a repurposed rotisserie oven. I like it. If it can comfortably fit an E-ATX mobo, a long Strix size RTX 4090, and the reviews are consistently positive then the case would look good on my desk.
If you're talking about a long lived high performance system then the CPU is much less important than the socket. A new CPU will go into an AM5 socket four years from now. For this reason, although I am unimpressed with the 7000 series CPUs, I'm buying an AMD mobo. If Intel supported its...
I thought it was a trick question and answered "yes" because even my 2014 built will support a PCIe 5.0 ssd being that the drive would be backward compatible.
Many people talk down buying high-end PC gear, but I want good performance and a long time between PC upgrades. The bedroom PC which I built in Jan 2009 runs Battlefield 4 very smoothly. A couple of years after BF5 arrived I swapped it for a (6-core) Xeon X5690 to get BF5 to also run very...
I'm only interested in this CPU for its game performance. My mate has already build a PC to house this chip, but I'll wait for the reviews. If it performs better than the flagship 13th gen Intel then this will be my first AMD CPU. So far It's all been intel CPUs and Asus mobos since 1998.
Lol. I assumed it was the norm. So, nobody does cross platform CPU benchmarks, only benchmarks that measure cross-compiler/OS efficiency which are called CPU benchmarks. That's a bit of a downer.
