To think I produced this content 11 years ago now!."Competition is a good thing and without it, we all lose out. Unfortunately, Intel isn't facing much in the way of competition in the desktop CPU market right now, and they haven't for some time. AMD's.

Final Thoughts. Nearly six years have passed since the Core i7 series debuted. Since then, Intel has been refining it over many iterations through its tick-tock philosophy, which follows...

Having reviewed PC hardware for about 25 years now, I’ve seen some shit. It feels like just yesterday when AMD fans were telling me the FX series is actually good value and I just didn’t understand that you have to overclock the HT link. Back then I was an Intel shill, so the.

@SiliconSteak BTW your 14600K combo is currently $15 US more expensive than a 7500F + 32GB DDR5-6000 + AM5 motherboard. All based on pricing.

If the goal is to flog off cheap PC's then sure. I guess. Personally I wouldn't build a friend a 14600K PC in 2025 when AM5 is still going strong and by the looks of it only costs a very slight premium. Personally I can't think of one good reason to buy the 1460K over the.
@HardwareUnboxed The platform is cheaper btw. I just got a b760 with a x16 gen 5 slot and 2 gen 4 nvme slots for $150 with 32gn of ddr4 3200. Lga 1700 is the sweet spot for flipping mid range builds rn. I’ve built about 80 computers and most of them were one am4 because of its huge value. Now lga

Video idea for next week: I have my Core Ultra 9 285K review sample which works with the Intel 200S Boost overclocking setting without issue. I also have a 285K retail chip that I purchased about 6 months ago, it doesn't work with 200S enabled, it will boot into Windows but.

The recent BF6 test comparing the 14900K and 9800X3D used stock settings, just XMP/EXPO loaded (as clearly noted in the video). I was using the latest BIOS for both boards, and both CPUs featured brand new 360mm AIOs and neither was anywhere near thermal throttling. Some people.
i casually tested the latest msi z790 ace bios with microcde 0x12f and the new me. the experiences were basically the same as the experiences on gigabyte z690 i tried before. so it seems 0x12f does further restricts the performance out of the box, and also kind of blocks the old

Seeing the dumb 'stuff' Jarrod has to deal with in this thread ( somehow makes me feel a lot better about our feedback. Sorry @JarrodsTech :D. That said we still got in on some of the action, for example the opening joke landed well with this high IQ

Please note when the laptop 8GB GPU runs out of VRAM the power consumption goes down as it’s waiting and not working.

Quick update: We were hoping to get the B850 Roundup video out last night but after 2 days of editing there's still a lot more to go, so we're planning on a Monday night release now. Sorry for the delay, but in the meantime VRAM Unboxed has a collab video for you over on Jarrod's

Has anyone tried playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance II on a Core Ultra CPU? I'm testing the 265K and have no idea why it takes 5 mins or more to load into the game for the first time. I've tried two different SSDs, anyway I'm not sure if it's a setup issue or a Core Ultra thing.

I don't want to directly or individually address the videos discussing the 9070 XT testing I did recently. Those videos did misunderstand the test, but unfortunately I didn’t explain the video as well as I should have, and did suggest that the bulk of the gains in at least one.

Watch as many reviews as you can, the more the merrier. But also thanks to those showing some HUB love🥰.
Who's your go-to for PC benchmarks on Youtube? I can only provide 4 options so comment if your option is not listed. I'm also assuming there's more than one for most people, so please comment on that too.

Which of these options is better value?. A - One RTX 5060 Ti 8GB (currently $680 AUD).B - Two PS5 DualSense Edge game controllers ($660 AUD).

If you missed it, 8GB 9060 XT testing here: Side note, I'm seeing a crazy amount of comments claiming that the 9060 XT 8GB is a 1080p card and should be tested as such. Firstly, AMD advertised the 9060 XT universally as a 1440p graphics card. Secondly,

The 9060 XT 8GB is a crap product that shouldn’t exist and we have a video coming today showing you how bad it is. However, we have seen some online discussion that does not reflect reality. Firstly, when it came to sampling AMD told the tech media if they want the 8GB model.

"The more you buy, the more you save.".This does at least apply to VRAM. Maybe that's what Jensen meant all along?.
