    Should I install Windows 10 or 11 for my new device

    Haha, yeah I got lost there

    In case anyone missed it, the OP has already installed Edit: W10.

    Exactly where do you buy a single LTSC license?

    It will end some time during the second half of next year for consumer versions, so no. October 14, 2025 is the end date.

    AMD "Strix Point" Mobile Processor Confirmed 12-core/24-thread, But Misses Out on PCIe Gen 5

    Nice weird jumping to conclusions. It's not like consumers can't have it, just pick a CPU that got it! :rolleyes: Like Raphael, which makes me guess that Dragon range has it as well, tho I haven't looked it up. There's no point in having PCIE 5 in EVERY CPU/APU (yet), just because it's possible.

    Everyone? That's a big if you didn't mention before. Also, since you've already mentioned two other types of Nvidia users you kind of contradict yourself by your own reasoning. Besides, what a single customer wants to buy doesn't affect everyone's choice. Your argument doesn't even need two...

    AMD "Strix Point" Mobile Processor Confirmed 12-core/24-thread, But Misses Out on PCIe Gen 5

    What's irrational with wanting lower prices? Does anyone here hate competition? :confused: How many actually thinks "I just wish AMD got gone, even if it meant I had to pay twice the price for my next RTX!".

    I thought part of it was that they're not selling enough of them, I could be wrong tho. Strix point and Strix halo can't compete with high end anyway.

    Windows 11 Now Officially Adware as Microsoft Embeds Ads in the Start Menu

    I know that google is all about user data and ads, but I've never seen ads in any of my Samsung phones.

    Exactly. As much as I hate this thing, I'm not really interested in seeing all the drama it causes with people kicking in open doors.

    Possible near-future 2024 Arrow Lake build....

    Now you're changing subject. It's still being sold. If it gets sold out, pick something else. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Mm6p99/intel-core-i7-13700k-34-ghz-16-core-processor-bx8071513700k I've already said why. Compared to the 13700K (345USD), the 14700K cost 16% more (400USD), games run...

    It's more like you're exaggerating ("ignore 13th"). The discussion was about 13700k/14700K, ie not nitpicking. There's no valid reason to ignore the 13700K for games here. If a 14800K runs cooler than a 13900K it doesn't help a 14700K gamer, so that sweeping argument about "14th gen is cooler...

    That's not true for games in TPU's 14700K review. C4D/CB/Blender is another story.

    Possible near-future 2024 Arrow Lake build....

    Yeah, it's the only one that stands out in terms of improved specs, but that doesn't translate into significant improvements in games. (It's little better outside games, of course.) While the 14900K is 1.4% faster than the 13900K, the 14700K is 1.5% faster than the 13700K. (2560x1440) Edit: And...
