Remember the G.SKILL CL28-34-34-89 5600 memory? I think that kit may be 'out the box' faster than these V-Color sticks.

The original article on PCGamer, does not state this anywhere. It does not speak to the talks not succeeding, as per the document stating, "Awaiting Feedback". I also noticed that no part of the PCgamer source, states that HZD and Days Gone were what the $200M was for. In fact, the article...

Do you say the same thing when Usain Bolt broke the 100M record? Now do it for 800M? Do you say the same when we break the production car land speed record? Now drive 260mph over 600 miles? I'm basically asking, what your point is by asking him to do it with SMT enabled and why is that...

I'm not sure how true that is. Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Samsung etc all measure power per mm^2, i.e power density is a key metric, not the clock frequency. The clock frequency comes way after they figure out what is the best performance per watt. So power per watt, must intersect with power per mm^2...

Manufacturing process or node, while related to clock frequencies, is not entirely responsible for them. That Pascal and Turing GPUs operate at around the same clock frequency has everything to do with design and GPU layout. In the same way that Pentium 4 CPUs could hit high clock frequencies...

2017 Nissan GTR Pure is ~ $101K 2017 Nisasan GTR Nismo ~ $177K 2017 Nissan GTR GT3 ~ $550K You see this exact thing in the performance/super car market. From the pure model to the GT3, the difference in performance is literally 5% or there about and what's the price hike? Car enthusiasts are...

They aren't hitting 5GHz, and won't with AIOs and the like. It's not the node, but a core architectural design decision AMD made, when matching that with the intended process from TSMC. It's also part of the reason why power draw, scales in an unfavourable way with the current Zen+ CPUs. Again...

The obsession with nodes sizes when it's but a single number is quite alarming. Well not really given how poor media has become technically. Okay so when we say 10nm or 7nm what are we talking about? Are we talking minimum feature size only and if so, why only that? Here is a simple comparison...

The reason is that's the benchmark he can run at that frequency and the one he chose to tune for. There isn't another CPU in existence that can give this performance or run at this clock speeds. A gem of a CPU. He could have run 2 cores as well. I can bet you nobody on this forum could get...

Pretty much have access to all the latest or at least high end boards starting at B360, H370, B350, X470, Z370 and X299 from at least 3 different board vendors. I'd be interested to know which boards are these that don't allow disabling HT, which is actually in spec from INTEL. On a sidenote...

Both GALAX and G.SKILL were showing DDR4 5000MHz Dual Channel kits at Computex 2018. No fancy cooling needed, just XMP and 1.5V :) DDR5 for sure does 5GHz at far lower voltages

A lot of assumptions here. I'd ask you if you have any idea what the power draw for 5 GHZ ThreadRipper 1950X is, I can tell you it's the other side of 500W. Power draw as you know very well isn't linear and that relationship between performance and power isn't linear either as we see with Ryzen...

It's wrong to profit off his name because? Do you know how much he spent personally, so that 8-Pack could be a name? Do movies not bring in audiences based on the actors names (the cast, director etc. ) ? How are they not profiting from the names of those invovled? Did Beat's By Dre not profit...

Not sure if this is a real question or trolling. However you do know that DIIMMs are made out of several ICs all of which will have different tolerances. Special edition DRAM kits etc from CORSAIR and G.SKILL are literally hand picked via a screening process. The "B-die" stuff you buy off the...

Most certainly. Despite whatever issues that may have existed, AMD has once again sent out their Media packs with an ROG board obviously and their CPUs. They must have some confidence in this combination of hardware. At worst it simply has to be better than the first time around. AMD has got...
