A 2 year old Corsair RM750X to replace my now dead Seasonic S12II-500. The Seasonic ran for almost 14 years 24/7 in my old server.

Is it? Doing what? As far as I know the 13600k and 7800x are neck and neck, so how the 7800x3d would be «a lot slower» really beats me.

Agreed. As the logic around which core to choose for which task improve (the scheduler) things will look better for 3dcached cores (and perhaps also Intels cripplecores)

I have two fast "test winners" in my current computer - one WD black 850, and one Kingston Fury Renegade. They both operate on pcie-4. After buying those I've often wondered if they really make a meaningful difference compared to two fast pcie-3 drives. I'm sure the pcie-5 drives will be great...

Are you sure? With info like https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/gpudirect-rdma/index.html and https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/14/nvidia_gpu_data/ it certainly seems like it's viable.

Don’t think I’ve seen it discounted, but I probably haven’t been looking for it.

I really do wonder who spends a lot of money on a benchmark. If it was 5 bucks, I would consider it, and probably even buy it.

The problem is all the features I don't want cost a lot to implement. I don't want to pay for the added features. Something went totally haywire the last decade, where home computer suddenly meant computers for kids. Give me back motherboards with functionality, not aesthetics.

I think AMD should get assisted by the USB SIG for a truly astonishing naming scheme noone will ever figure out.

Yeah, they famously dirt cheap z690 boards. Wait... you'll need a z790 now. Good thing Intel's well known for their socket longevity.

Only Macron believed Putin could be "reasoned" with. Most experts believe this couldn't be prevented in a peaceful manner.

They made a drawing of it. Seems most Intel releases are that way in 2022.

Considering the i5 8250U was released in 2017 and the M1 Pro in 2021 it would be truly embarrasing if the M1 wasn't faster. Intel's i5 series has 4 cores, the M1 has 8. Hardly an apple to apple comparison.

As bloat has a pretty poor sound to it, I'm fairly sure the standard is meant to be AVX 512 BFLOAT16 and not AVX 512 BLOAT16 Above fairly sure, actually :-)

"controversial Master Quality Authenticated (MQA)." Not sure why anyone would consider MQA anything but a hoax/scam.
