Seems like gamers in general are a little disappointed, for everyone else this CPU is amazing at that pricepoint though.

see the article i linked to, there is a good number of new games where the 6900K is faster than the 7700k or at least on the same level.

this card can do 4K pretty comfortably now, at least if 60fps is the benchmark (VR needs more) but 8K is still pretty far away. Other than VR, there is hardly a use case for it though, and even in 4K VR should be a lot better than it is now

The most recent AAA titles often favour more cores, as also the consoles are 8C nowadays [1] And in case you do more than gaming, i'd always take the 8C/16T over a 4C/8T for the same amount of money, even if it's 10-15%

with the AMD Ryzen CPU release tomorrow, you can now pair a lastest generation 8C/16T CPU with a 1080 for $1000, a combination that a week ago was about $1700. The Ryzen boards should be cheaper too, bringing the total system price for

Thats not really what he asked though. If in the end a developer can work 98% in TS, do they really care if it runs as JS or something else if it solves their problems with the language ? I have heard from people that love TS, but surprisin

Physics heavy games at lower resolutions can still get a lot of benefit out of faster cores. Battlefield 1/4 multiplayer as an example. The Division is another game that benefits greatly from CPU power. Another thing is that many enthu

just be aware that Ryzen is probably operating much closer to it's limit than the Intel counterparts, so overclocking could be limited. If that is not interesting for you anyway, then god speed. Also in terms of gaming performance, Int

I even had the Touchbar die on me when waking the laptop from a previously drained battery. The whole Touchbar was just black, requiring a full reboot. This only happened 2-3 times in about 6 weeks, but still. I also have occasional problem

Take everything WCCFTECH writes with a pinch of salt, all of this could still be fake. The Ryzen hype train is on full steam and i really hope they deliver, but i'll wait for official benchmarks. In the last few years, more often than

For Desktop computing of normal people ? Maybe, but there are a lot of people and businesses that can always use more CPU power. High end CPUs will also eventually trickle down to lower powered devices and i still think modern Ultrabooks co

We are using Xamarin for our mobile apps and around 90% of .NET code is shared between both platforms. The platform specific code is basically just UI related, which makes sense given the different approaches to some UI mechanics in iOS vs
