I'm mostly impressed that the manufacturers of Client Clock Drivers and Registering Clock Drivers are confident they can run up to 8800. Of course it may very well be a long time before we see native 8800 modules which aren't MCRDIMMs so perhaps it's not a gamble. JEDEC standards have always...

In console sales? Absolutely, but in gaming revenue they're nowhere near Sony and were behind Microsoft before the ABK acquisition. Honestly this sounds more like developers who don't want to develop for more than one hardware target to me. From the indie developers who have gotten into the...

The DRP4 has mounting problems on LGA1700 and performs extremely poorly because of it. Hardware Canucks went over it in their DRP5 review:

Seems like an awful lot of people around these parts are incapable of reading, or at the very least understanding what they're reading. Every Arc GPU that has been mass fabricated uses TSMC and these will be no different. The CPU cores in ARL are Intel 20A, GPU TSMC N3, and the SoC/IO will...

I already had 3x P12 Max at the time of posting. It sounds like the initial run from Arctic had some QC issues. I didn't have any noise problems with mine for months and then I had one which started acting up before going back to being fine. I run mine around 1800-2000 RPM maximum as I didn't...

Hardware RAID never really did much to protect against silent data corruption as it's always been to protect against hardware failure predominantly. The threat of bitrot and other data corruption are quite frankly overblown on smaller arrays (like the 8 disk this card is for) unless you're...

The 28.3 driver pack has that driver version, but it doesn't list the i226-V so I'm not sure whether it's covered or not. Check the date of the driver release on your motherboard OEM and if it's late last year it might be correct whether it cites the right version or not.

Yeah I was too lazy to pull it off since it's what I use on tech forums and whatnot (even though I still. probably should have :laugh:). It's off the free to download JEDEC spec sheet. Yeah I was confused by the wording in the JEDEC announcement where they were talking about stacked CAMM so I...

The only like for like benchmark from this which crosses with any N100 is Cinebench and the the N100 is slower in both single and multi which is to be expected. The N100 is just 4 E-cores and is limited to single channel memory (not that this likely matters a whole lot for these low core...

That depends as the spec supports both stacked and not depending on whether or not you're using a single or dual channel implementation: This is one of the main reasons I'm curious about DDR5 capacity on CAMM as desktops might be forced into single channel mode to maximize capacity, but that...

The 4 lanes for the primary PCIe slot is the problem not anything with the NVMe. Agreed on the 4 CU IGP being problematic despite being double that of regular Zen 4 desktop parts.

This only works if the voltages for low latency with high bandwidth comes down a lot as running 8000+ already gets shaky without active cooling. I certainly want the change to CAMM to happen as several industry businesses have spoken of it enabling more bandwidth I just don't know if putting...

As far as I'm aware the 4 lanes for NVMe aren't optional no matter what chipset so they're going to end up with 4 lanes to that primary slot unless someone designs a board specifically around these which seems unlikely. It's unfortunate that this negatively impacts upgradability for the 8500G...

On one hand I understand why these exist (yay die harvesting), but they seem to be in a weird place. Quad core CPUs aren't significantly more money than these will be available for and these don't do anything special like support ECC. I suppose they're replacing the ADL Pentium/Celeron with them...

I have a ROG Ally and have been pretty pleased with it across the board. I like the weight of it and the VRR display is a pretty big advantage over everyone else when playing more modern titles. MSI using hall effect sticks and triggers is a great feature (assuming it stays that way for launch)...
