Intel Alder Lake announcement and preorders confirmed for October 27th, launch on November 4th

Personally, I don't like the fact pre-orders go live on the 27th but reviews won't go live until the 4th... Something feels off but we will see...

Gigabyte 4k gaming monitors have HDMI 2.1 bandwidth limited to 24 Gbps

https://tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/gigabyte-aorus-fi32u

"To start with we should say that the HDMI 2.1 ports here are not actually set to use the full 48Gbps bandwidth and instead operate at 24Gbps with DSC being used. We reached out to Gigabyte to clarify the reasoning and background for this and this is apparently because at the time of designing the display (including other 4K gaming displays in their range), it was expected that both Xbox and PS5 would support DSC and so this wouldn’t matter."

If you are gonna include HDMI 2.1, why would you not go full bandwidth? Facepalm. Supposedly this only affects PS5 as apparently, the Series X has DSC over HDMI but they haven't fully confirmed that it's working in the review. Still, this is dumb because afaik, everyone else is doing 40 Gbps or higher bandwidth through their HDMI 2.1 ports. I did check some of their other models like their 28 inch that's also 4k 144hz and it has the same problem. I suppose this is why you read the reviews lol.
