What I find confusing is why is this happening now? And is Windows affected by this?


I was just about to say the same thing....

That logically makes no sense, at all.
To put it in another perspective, let's say you're in school and you were assigned math homework. Typically,...

The failure of Vega wasn't Raja's fault, nor was the hype that went around it. He stated how the company was taking people away from his development team...

Intel probably pays more while allowing them to do less, and, while giving a better impression on their resume. I'd say that's enticing enough for the...

Actually, I hear you loud-and-fucking-clear. Mind explaining what you were talking about at the bottom of this post?:

I have a R9 290 (basically the same thing) with amdgpu+radeonsi+radv and I don't encounter any problems with that at all. Using the DC/DAL drivers causes...

You do realize this isn't x86, right? Although you could use QEMU to run x86 applications, I wouldn't treat gaming as a priority, especially if you care...

Depends on your perspective. If everyone is going the same route at around the same time, then yes, this is improving consistency. Although it appears...

Pricing for a product like this is difficult. This is a very niche market, even more so than ARM development boards. Unlike ARM boards, something like...

I'd say this move is a win-win. Before, there was the whole dichotomy of "should KDE give in to Nvidia for the sake of their users, or stick to principles...

Sure, it isn't Intel-only, but Intel has a hell of a lot more of them than AMD and ARM (not sure about MIPS, SPARC, or PPC). Each additional exploit...

But knowing the age of something can still tell you whether something is supported upstream or not. It works exactly the same way except it's more intuitive...

Right, hence me saying the following:...

Do you have a source on this? Because from what I've found, it's using 14nm+ (same as 7980XE):

I totally agree. Not only is this confusing, but it can cause major breakages and makes the flavors of Linux even more fragmented than it already is (and...

The stupid thing is with the new Code of Conduct, now is a more relevant time than ever to start a new version number, rather than "Linus feels the...

Yes, but to my understanding, the TDP revolves around base clocks. The purpose of the base clocks is to be the level of performance that the CPU can...

[schmidtbag]

Just goes to show how useless these TDP ratings actually are. These are some pretty significant clock speed improvements for 18 cores with nothing else...
