I wonder why there are still no mATX/ITX board with a 7000U APU's on the market? Ideal for low power budged and Home Theater PC's and Plex servers. The only thing you see is things like Intel Celeron J41253 and N100, with crappy video.

Pretty happy with my IKEA Markus chair, ware I paid €150 for, just wondering if this 'cheap' non gaming chair is the reason I suck so much at CS:GO, and is hampering with my game play! :oops:

Just wondering, does it actually make a difference in realworld performance, because most laptops and especially notebooks are power/thermal limited, and lower tier GPU's preform often nearly identical to higher tier GPU's.

Actually someone that really hates intel for these shenanigans, but there cooler mounts stay the same for years. Notting lost from it eider. And actually I think there is even a chance they could use the same mounting, as AMD has less of a problem with open source or using common standards...

I find it very strange that AMD never put in an IGP/APU, I would have been happy with something like R300 (Radeon 9700) performance, and it's not like 3~4% / 50~75M extra transistors on the 2B transistor I/O die would really hurt their bottom line. Would be good enough for HTPC (home)servers or...

Your right but also very wrong, both are important, have run 4x 512GB 840 Pro's in R0 on a SAS controller for years, and had comparable results as a PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives. I have now a Samsung 1TB 980 Pro PM9A1 (OEM version of the 980 Pro), and it gives a huge boost in load times, and a 10%...

No, I think that it's a real smart idea, especially the 12 and 16 core parts, they fill a gap in the TR platform for people that need more PCIe lanes then AM4 got, but don't need, and don't wane pay 1400+ for a 24 core CPU. By now they have high yield rates of dies that can clock much higher...

If you do 8K video editing on RAW video, you're running out of ram real fast with 120GB/min of data, also in scientific research you have huge data sets, my daughter is doing geographical study, and has run many times against the 512GB limit she has in her 2990WX machine. Not gone say the...

No, servers and workstations are mostly very different type of products, no serious server admin would ever use a workstation board in his servers, server board are designed to run in racks, next to that the EPYC line and boards are certified for their 24/7 jobs. Next, servers boards are more...

A lot of people are shouting, but have no clue what they are talking about! Nope they changed the VRMs from previous 70A best ones to now 90A best ones, a drop-in replacement. We talking about a $750+ mobo, with VRM that theoretical could deliver 1344W (TDA21472) and that now can do 1728W...

Hmmm, with 5 year warranty, they have some trust that there drives will work long term, maybe a interesting option for my server.

Properly, but so what, that's only if you load up all the core's doing OCed video encoding or so, my 9700K@5GHz dose do that to, but if i am gaming my whole system 'only' uses 360W including a slight OCed 1080Ti. The only important Nr is performance per Watt, and that ratio is still good with a...

Not cheap, but dose the job, the ASRock C2550D4I will do the job real fine, even got a remote managing network port.

A USB NIC will work just fine, have one on my server after lighting blew out one of the ports.

Is even reading the head of the news article that hard? And if you still dont get it, Google it!
