    PCI-Express 4.0 NVMe SSD Performance on Ryzen 3000 & X570

    What matters is the random speed and that's the same across all PCI-express revisions. PCI-express bandwidth for SSDs is wool over the eyes. Access times is the king. Move on guys. I still only buy SATA SSDs.

    Intel to Cut Prices of its Desktop Processors by 15% in Response to Ryzen 3000

    AMD Confirms Ryzen 3000 "Matisse" Features Soldered IHS

    There is no rush in buying cores. It's not as the World is ending today. If you need 6 cores now, buy 6 cores. If you think you'll need 16 cores 2-3 years from now, you're better buy a 6 cores CPU now, wait those years and then buy a 16 cores CPU by then.

    Metro Exodus Developer Discusses Boycott of the PC Platform for Sequels over Steam Review Bombing

    Take note of this "priority": STEAM is dated 2003. That means 16 years in business without big problems. I still can play "Dungeon Siege" from 2002. And I still will be able to do that in 2030. What about all those new launchers? In 10 years from now, will that "Epic Launcher" (1 year old) still...

    Metro Exodus Developer Discusses Boycott of the PC Platform for Sequels over Steam Review Bombing

    They have been bashed just because they received a bribe by EPIC to provide a temporal exclusive on a niche PC platform/store nobody uses/wants to use? And for pulling out their game from the biggest store in the PC market, after it has been sit there on preorder for 5 months (so abusing all the...

    How long can the "right" PSU last?

    You can use an electrician multimeter and check a molex connection. No. I have PSUs with 20+ years of life still functioning. My current PSU is powering a Ryzen 2 system and has 10+ years (and works nearly 24/24). Some years ago I replaced its fan because the bearings weared out and became...

    AMD 8-core Ryzen APU to Power Sony Playstation 5, Says the Rumor Mill

    A 8 cores / 16 threads 7nm Ryzen 2 (no matter the GHzs it will have) would be a MASSIVE improvement in the console world. Plenty of power for anything, from physix, to AI, to concurrent streaming and even old hardware emulation.
