Why no HDMI? Can one even buy VGA capable Displays in 2020?

I totally agree with the "no hate" viewpoint here. We should praise competition and enjoy every great product no matter which company launches it. But i think Intel deserves at least some of the current backlash cause of the way they treated security in their latest iterations of CPUs (Meltdown...

Apple seems to me a bit erratic in their decision to find a proper CPU architecture for them... Motorola (CISC), then IBM PowerPC (RISC), then Intel (CISC) and now their own ARM stuff (RISC). Looking at these decisions i might predict the next thing they'll do regarding their CPU architecture...

AFAIK the higher records were achieved using helium instead of liquid nitrogen - therefore this one stands for its own.

A good AM4 motherboard costs about 130$ at the moment ... i cant blame the manufacturers if they want so sell more/newer ones.

Good choice. I bought my ASRock X370 Killer SLI just when the first Ryzen CPUs were available. And also equipped it with 64GB of RAM. It ran flawless from the start, even when media was full of memory incompatibility issues with Ryzen at that time. Will buy my next board also from that brand.

Thats true for all operations as there is always some management overhead for the actual task to compute. And with increasing units, who do the compute work (cores, shader, whatever), the management overhead rises. In general tasks are never only compute. You always need to feed the units with...

Steam Survey isnt real at the moment as the PUBG crowd is dominant and this game favors Intel CPUs. To which kind of businesses you sell? Retailers or companies? If the latter then thats also not the complete picture. Companies buy office hardware which is still in the most cases Intel. Just...

Might be, but for a good friendly rivalry an answer on the same level is needed. To keep up with the level is the sign of respect needed. And by the way, i dont believe that AMD is a friendly rival to a company which used every possible trick to keep its de facto monopoly. Till this day they try...

IMHO a rather uninspired answer to AMDs marketing coup ...

You should be happy to be still alive. The coolant is similar to the antifreeze you fill into cars and contains Ethylene clycol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze#Ethylene_glycol) which builds crystals in your kidneys and make you pee blood. Kids, dont do such stuff at home!

Well, the normal non-pro Ryzen Desktop CPUs all support ECC. So yes, might be up to the MBs, but the Pro stuff is not an argument. The Bulldozers supported it also, and im not aware of any Bulldozer Pro line.

Will ECC Ram be supported?

What Intel really needs at the moment is that customers stay away 1 or 2 years from their products. They betrayed all customers when launching 8th generation cause they knew about the security flaws when they did the lauch. Also they gave us only minor performance bumps (3%) and not more cores...

Totally agree here! What a nonsense to spoil the really cool design that way.
