You must be thinking of another company. Matrox is independently owned (Canadian) and not affiliated with NVDA....

LMAO literally the exact same thing was said back in the mid 1990's after the Pentium processor. And how much CPU power is wasted today running Java enterprise...

[torsionbar28]

Yawn, Matrox has been selling PCIe 1x graphics cards with multiple outputs for years now. Going all the way back to the 1990's, Matrox has always been...

Not sure why anyone would want to clone the Apple keyboard. Apple keyboards suck. Pure form over function. The chicklet keys, the mushy feel, the too-short...

[torsionbar28]

I wasn't familiar with that "best sellers" page before, thanks for sharing. Pretty telling on the CPU side. I knew Ryzen was selling really...

[torsionbar28]

Agree, after undervolting my Vega 56, it runs significantly cooler with no apparent loss in frame rates and no other downsides. Power under load is down...

[torsionbar28]

Power consumption is the first thing in your mind here? We're talking a difference of single digit watts at idle for multi-monitor setups and fan speed...

[torsionbar28]

Polaris still actively used on the workstation side, in the entry level Radeon Pro cards. I have a wx7100 and a wx3200 card here and they work great....

It requires a Flux Capacitor to go backwards....

[torsionbar28]

For sure, I have fond memories of OS/2 Warp, it was far more stable than the buggy crashy WinOS's of the day, and had much better networking....

[torsionbar28]

Wondering how long before some critical vulnerability is discovered in these new "features". You may be right after all!...

[torsionbar28]

x2 on this. I wish the US would get with the program and issue national ID cards. The standard already exists, created by HSPD12, and proven in years...

[torsionbar28]

It seems to me that only a novice, here in 2020, would not buy a network printer with ipp. Drivers? Lol. Printing from any computer Win/Mac/Linux/Android/whatever...

[torsionbar28]

C'mon AMD, when are you going to release some entry workstation CPU's??? EPYC 5000 series soon please. Something modern to replace Opteron 4000 series....

[torsionbar28]

Huh? Which AMD CPU's were "out of the question" and when? I call BS. I assume you're talking Bulldozer era, where IPC was lower than expected?...

[torsionbar28]

Your own maths do not support your conclusion benjiro . You said it yourself: $450 for an 8-core today that significantly outperforms their own $499 8-core...

[torsionbar28]

That's because Core Duo was just a respin of the Pentium M "Banias" mobile chip. Banias was known for its superior power efficiency and IPC...

[torsionbar28]

Sucks for you, I bought new BMW's for me and my wife after selling a few AMD shares this year. As spectacular as the entire Zen architecture has been...

[torsionbar28]

Fifty bucks more for a faster processor is a "gouge" in your worldview? Wut? Memories must be short around here. It was only a few years ago...

[torsionbar28]

Meh, I haven't played since Mists of Pandaria, the whole Battle Pet thing was kind of lame....
