See, that's one of the many things I don't like about the stock market. Intel is scaling down its growth because it has to pay its investors dividents. They're hurting the company to pay people that has done nothing for Intel.

*sigh*

I won't judge those 3DMark scores as they're almost guesses and based on hardware specs that may or may not still be true.

And I thought Stadia was already dead. I remember posting an article about it saying that Google wouldn't develop it further but would lease the technology to someone who wanted it. But well, I guess this is just a confirmation that they saw no interest from others in using it either so they're shoting it down completely.

Schools have changed. No longer do they build giant computer rooms with hundreds of machines, it's more economical to get students to buy a Netbook/Notebook at the start of the year and take them to each lesson... But even the longevity of those low-end devices are lasting longer as performance is good enough.

The College near me for example... Back in the 90's had 500~ Pentium 2 based system running Windows NT that I setup with it's own dedicated print and file servers... The amount of floor space that took up was massive, the electricity and cooling was also massive... Running Ethernet all through the school... Massive. And back then I fed that cluster with quad load balanced 128kb/s ISDN lines... Not a small cost. But 512kb/s was an insane amount of bandwidth back then.

And every 2-3 years all those machines were sold off and new ones brought in to keep pace with the rapid improvements in technology, we moved to Pentium 3's, then Pentium 4, then Pentium D... And then once the Core 2 came about, it slowed massively... Heck I would argue on a lean machine with a Core 2... You can still do word processing and web browsing just fine. It won't be fun, but it's more than adequate for that task.

Now that college just has wireless access points fed via ethernet and connects to a single server... All that space was reclaimed and is now classrooms, saving money on not needing to expand.

Times have simply changed.

This keyboard is actually insane

It is pricey but I haven't seen other keyboards do custom per key actuation points to this degree through software. If they or another company comes out with a full keyboard that can have features like this, I'd buy it asap.

AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6 Core “Zen 4” CPU Sample Destroys The Intel Core i9-12900K, 20% Faster Single-Core Performance In Leaked Benchmark

Sounds too fake honestly.

Raja Koduri Crushes Intel Arc GPU Rumors, Says “We Are Very Much Committed To Our Roadmap”, AXG To Ramp Four New Product Lines By End of 2022

Not that Intel saying they are committed to a roadmap means much these days, the rumours that MLID was spewing out about Intel cancelling their future GPUs was nonsense.

Indonesia Blocks Access to Steam, Epic Games (and a lot of other companies)

https://sea.ign.com/steam/188531/news/indonesia-blocks-access-to-steam-epic-games

Honestly, I don't se myself needing such keyboard. If I need a more granular or analog experience, it's usually because the game has been designed to be played with a gamepad, and that's what I'm going to use.

The rumor about the performance of the 7600X is, indeed, too good to be true. Even more so when AMD said the performance jump would be what, arount 10-15%?

And Navi 31 getting fater VRAM is possible, and would bring a bump in performance, no doubt about that. The epecs that RTG claim, however, are harder to believe, especially since they include a 7975XT that comes out of nowhere.

What I'd really like for some games if an analog stick for movement with mouse for aiming. There are certainly issues with that though, I would imagine (button placement and software support come to mind). I'm not going to play a game with a controller if it requires aiming and if I can choose to use a keyboard and mouse, but there are times I wish I could use an analog stick for movement. Metal Gear Solid V comes to mind first, because there's a certain useful movement speed you simply cannot use with a keyboard, but at the same time, aiming is important too.

Yeah, unless it's a specific IT class there won't be any computer rooms anymore

However, schools (at least here) tend to buy a new laptop to every student for the education cycle they're in (primary, lower, median, higher), so that's 4 laptops per student when before schools shared the same hardware for many different classes, so all in all there are more processors sold now than back then. As such, I consider Gelsinger's argument with the schools as just a stupid excuse.

Higher IPC + more cache + faster cache + higher clock speeds can do that. Remember, that's just singlecore.

Worth noting that in multicore, it clearly stayed behind the 5800X. Though he came quite close, this seems pretty sound to me, as it was similar with both the 3600X and 5600X compared to the 2700X and 3700X respectively.

I doubt there will be agreement anytime soon. Kominfo wants to have full access to the personal data of Indonesian players, something they can't do without compromising their own security or breaking GDPR laws, meaning they'll have to chose between Europe and Indonesia as a market. And Europe iss clearly the bigger and more important market for them here, so...

What you're asking for kind of already exists, but they're far from popular. What's more, they've existed for a while, during the PS360 era (when shooters became too much popular), you could find things like this, the FragFX:

Nowadays, the best you can find, and probably more practical and of better quality, is something like the Razer Tartarus V2, that gives  you the choise to use your own mouse:

I even found a review of it, on Tom's Guides: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/razer-tartarus-v2,review-5013.html

20% faster than 12900k in single core when AMD themselves are claiming 15% faster in Single Core against Zen 3 sounds believable to you? Granted different benchmarks but sounds very fake to me. Either that or AVX512 has come into play.

Regardless, it's now confirmed to be fake.
