ELDEN RING Steam page is up

"Planned Release Date: 20 January, 2022"

Why they gotta put it up so early? It makes me want it even more now!

Dell’s new BIOS fixing poor GeForce RTX 3050 Ti performance on XPS 9510 laptop brings 20% improvement

As always, only after they get caught

AMD or Intel For Gaming? 5800H vs 11800H

It's fairly apples to apples comparison. Last time he did production and now he is doing gaming.
Intel 11800 > 5800H
Both CPUs are limited to 45 Watts
Intel imo looks to have the better cooling but neither of the CPUs are running into Thermal limits
GPUs are limited to 125 watts to prevent any throttling issues
5800H has better battery life
He is unsure how much of the performance is caused by Intel having x16 gen 4 pcie lanes for the GPU vs 5800H having only x8 pcie gen 3


Intel Xe-HPG DG2 GPU Spotted With Performance On Par With A NVIDIA GTX 1660 SUPER

https://wccftech.com/intel-xe-hpg-dg2-gpu-spotted-performance-on-par-with-a-nvidia-gtx-1660-super/

"It looks like this particular variant could be a higher-end variant with either 256 or 192 EUs"

Top of the line is supposed to have 512 EUs. Hopefully by the time it comes out, it is a lot faster. Cause having a 1660 Super performance for a 192/256 version in 2022 would be terrible.

According to Anandtech, 5700G/5600G APUs have only 8 lanes of pci-e gen 3 for the GPU

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16824/amd-ryzen-7-5700g-and-ryzen-5-5600g-apu-review

"*PCIe lanes on the SoC are listed in 8xGFX + 4xChipset + 2x4 for NVMe"

"The top part is a Ryzen 7 5700G, featuring eight cores and sixteen threads, with a base frequency of 3.8 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz. The Vega 8 graphics runs at 2000 MHz, and we get eight lanes of PCIe 3.0 for graphics, plus another eight for storage (as a pair of x4 connections). "

Now I don't know whether or not this is actually true or if Anandtech made a mistake as I am not able to find a different source that says the same thing. I think overall, it's better to skip these APUs entirely. Especially as 5600X/5800X are starting to get discounted.
