PS4 is based on FreeBSD so where there is will (and money) there is progress. Wayland has to become a standard sometime soon in all Linux distributions.

People remember DX12 which can use multiple GPUs and the fact that it won't be any cheaper if it comes without the GPU (stock coolers anyone?)!

iGPU powered. HD4000 uses at max 8.4W but at idle only something like 0.0xW! x stands for to small to show up in GPU-Z.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10610/intel-announces-7th-gen-kaby-lake-14nm-plus-six-notebook-skus-desktop-coming-in-january/3 10 bit HEVC decode is fully hardware (iGPU) supported. Intel could also update Skyale iGPUs, since they aren't even old. As for encoding I don't know because the last...

USB 3.0 docks are basically useless because CPU needs to do work for processing the image but Thunderbolt supported DP lines which made it very useful. Only in 2016 we got USB Type-C which tries to stand up to Thunderbolt. Just detracting USB further.

That is actually counter producitve, user will not upgrade if she/he has "latest but one" CPU and when new socket comes user can't upgrade because then she/he also needs to buy new motherboard.

I meant v6 prices including the motherboard cost are too high since i7+motherboard is a lot cheaper because motherboard is less than (I am using American keyboard and can't find less than sign) 80$. All this lost interoperability because of profit, sad.

They want to introduce new features like native HEVC 10 bit decoding and don't want to update drivers for Skylake, something going on with Microsoft since it will only fully support Kaby Lake on Windows 10? I don't get it myself, it's weird.

Yes, the prices are too high and you would only buy one over i5/i7 if you need a motherboard with server features and thus a Xeon. They don't offer anything over i5/i7 which are cheaper.

What can you expect, only non-K CPUs gain in performance each year because frequency on K CPUs is overclockable. There is even going to be 4 core xxxxU CPU in Kaby Lake. So the real question is should Intel releases "upgraded" K CPUs every year? If Intel had any competition the fate for K CPUs...

I compacted the vmdk and now it is 18.2 GB big. Which is kind of weird since it is actually smaller but all the unused space that was apparently taken up and then deleted by guest OS has now been properly sorted out.

These E3 CPUs are the worst of the server CPUs, that power inefficiency is astounding. AMD really needs to step in. Also XenServer can use the Intel iGPU for shared virtualization.

I installed Windows 7 Vanilla recently in a VM because I decided that it will be easier to do installations by copying the partition with updated Windows 7 to another HDD because the .iso image is outdated. I installed Windows 7 SP1, updated it, cleaned the unnecessary files and then I noticed...

Take USB 3.0 power delivey, standard power delivery (what most devices use) is only 4.5W. That is such a joke, they could at least implement 15W or something similar which would let external 3.5" HDD operate without additional power supply. Things like this just shouldn't have happened and now...

That is a very good rated endurance.
