save for extreme cases (such as using an atom or AM1-based CPU) higher resolutions don't have an appreciable time taxing CPUs, as simply pumping out that much in pixels is a function of GPU bandwidth alone

When it comes to energy conservation what really ilks me is CFL lights are still sold because people are still loving buying them just because they are $1 cheaper than the LED counterpart sitting right next to it that uses 40% less energy and at least 5x the lifespan.
some people really do just want piss lights

but don't LED bulbs come in piss light colors too? :shrug:

How is "gamer marketing" still so off the mark and cringeworthy after eSports and streaming have been a thing for years now?

Maybe it's my age showing and teenagers totally dig the style and aesthetic, but the fact that even the audience at these launch events couldn't be less enthusiastic most of the time should clue the marketing teams in that they are doing a horrible, horrible job at addressing their core demographic.

There's press only at the venue I presume, but you're live streaming this. Geez.

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure the board makers *hate* mITX. They take a ton of time to engineer over ATX style boards, and it makes up so little of the market share I highly doubt they ever make a profit on doing it, but feel they HAVE to, because all the other companies and reviewers will laugh at them if they don't.
And then there's Asrock

OEMs are mainly unhappy with Intel not supplying as many CPUs as they're used to, which has been documented over the past month over their 14nm volume shortages. Not sure what else you're extrapolating from that weekly.

I was expecting the change to a soldiered TIM to make up for the additional power and heat the two additional cores were putting out. I also thought it'd overclock decently well, since delidded coffee lakes have much better thermals than stock ones.

It's more that they're putting the default boost clocks right at the remaining headroom they had

I think the non-K SKUs will be interesting this time around, seeing how overclocking is becoming less and less useful and factory/turbo clocks are pretty aggressive already.

Somebody (:iiam:) leaked Icelake Geekbench scores on the day after the 10nm media rumors... doubled L2 cache, 50% larger L1D cache, >10% IPC increase. :salt:

Sustained turbo could also have been improved so it'd be more like 8% actual next iteration of Core + 7% better turbo.

Users wanting the 10-core 5.3 GHz will need to purchase the new top Core i9-10900K processor, which has a unit price of $488, and keep it under 70 ºC to enable Intel’s new Thermal Velocity Boost. Not only that, despite the 125 W TDP listed on the box, Intel states that the turbo power recommendation is 250 W – the motherboard manufacturers we’ve spoken to have prepared for 320-350 W from their own testing, in order to maintain that top turbo for as long as possible.

They're speculating that all 12th gen Core CPUs will support (unbuffered) ECC with W680 instead of just the lower-rung SKUs, which is really interesting. If this means Xeon E is dead it could only really be a good thing.

I was super lucky that the open box UHD drive I got for my HTPC had an unencrypted firmware revision that I was able to flash with something aftermarket so I can use an MKV converter to hook into the back of VLC for realtime decryption; this is a totally reasonable amount of abstraction to go from "I bought a movie on blu-ray" to "I am watching a movie on blu-ray"
Yeah I really love that piracy is better service than actually playing these things when it comes to blu-rays on PC.

It's all moot now that most people don't give a single gently caress about compression and believe streaming services will last forever, but people with these drives are among the last consumers of physical media and by doing poo poo like this they're leaving money on the table. A rounding error's worth of money, admittedly, but an "ideal" market would take advantage of even small bits of practically effortless revenue here and there.
