To be fair, it isn't redundant either.

I just expect everything to be delayed from Intel at this point. The need to reevaluate how they are creating their roadmaps. They have to stop making promises they can't keep because delays have become their SOP.

Lmao!

I understand why they locked it, especially for the 1st gen of the vcache, I still hope they unlock the new ones, just because it would be fun to tune, overclock, undervolt, etc. The first gen was a really cool proved they could produce them in volume and that there is a large enough market to...

I thought evga decided not to launch 40 series cards, but I could be wrong.

I told them they should have used duct tape!

Agreed. The performance headroom for overclocking has been significantly reduced in the most recent processor generation but there does seem to be a lot more optimization room available to get within a few percent of the stock performance while reducing temps at the same time. I'm looking...

That's surprisingly awful even with their track record. I don't even want to consider what the yields would be with a monolithic die.

Thr bad publicity alone is going to cost Nvidia more than it would have cost to make a sturdy, proper adapter in the first place.

That's a fair point too. It certainly isn't going to hurt them to start with the high end and enjoy the press coverage on top of the margins.

Early adopters are more likely to pay the premium associated with the highest end skus which generally offer higher margins.

People may not understand the difference between the two, but when they can't run their favorite programs due to compatibility issues, they definitely care.

The fact that Intel can effectively dictate the standards and specifications USB 4 can offer really sucks. No one company should have the power to dictate to the USB-IF what it is allowed to offer.

I honestly hope this pushes Intel to start supporting the same socket for more than 2 generations of processors. Wishful thinking I realize.

That would be awesome but the cost to develop a feature like this simply would be worth thr return on investment for the very few diy builders that would take advantage of it. That being said, if all theajor players agreed on a standardized implementation and oems started to use it, I could see...
