6W is a slight upgrade over 6X. I could see it being used in the next gen upper-mid-range while 7 is reserved for the high-end.

A round of applause. Y’all genuinely had me going for a minute there.

They’re that scared of RISC-V?

MBA, PhD…

The same guy running his own autonomous driving AI firm; doing it so well that Elon Musk begged him to come work for him at one point. GeoHotz is legit.

If you give the cache to the 8 cores, like for the 7800X3D, would the 4 extra cores just be an afterthought? Or instead if you gave it to the 4 cores, how would games perform then? I wonder if any 7950X3D owners could test this…

Another step towards Linux becoming mainstream. I only wish there was a 7840 + 4060 option!

A bit disappointing (slightly misleading), as this isn’t really a new product, just a price cut for units which didn’t meet QC originally.

You do realize that shipping costs and/or lead times are gonna eat into those savings right

I was just thinking the same thing. This is a niche of a niche. Now if it could charge multiple laptops simultaneously THAT would be cool.

Where are 3090s going for 650? On eBay the cheapest buy it nows start at 850…

A quick glance at CWWK’s listings show them using 12th-gen E cores and older, 6W J-series pentiums in their designs (about the only thing that would fit in those tiny boxes, forget the SATA connectors). If I wanted NGFW capabilities and the ability to run proxmox, I’d go with the 7840, or...

The cost comparison is moot. Show me a comparable mITX AM5 board with 4x2.5gbe and 9xSATA. I’ll wait. This would be excellent for OPNsense. I’m willing to bet this will run significantly cooler than that hypothetical mITX rig too. The only question is how these alibaba brands are about RMA or FW...

It’s been over a year since Zen 4 launched, and all we’ve gotten is a single generation on this socket, with still no real launch timetable for Zen 5 besides “definitely this year”. If it does launch 24Q3 as anticipated, even that would be nearly two years between Zen 4 and Zen 5. Come to think...

Wait for AM6. AM5 has been a bit underwhelming compared to AM4.
