13900K is actually rather power-efficient at low PL even without undervolting. "90W" here refers to real power-consumption, this is the same as the bios power-limit for intel but not for AMD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Bm0Wr6OEQ

7950x does draw about 20W more for the same bios power-limit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1mbMg2hjXs

13900K performs well but power consumption is very bad This might be why intel didn't allow proper reviews to be published until the launch day. Turns out that the 125W figure is total nonsense which isn't so surprising. The real issue is that it uses 25% more energy than the 7950x to do the...

It's much better to have a good desktop computer than a laptop though.

Debunking: "Europe needs russian gas" There has been a lot of moronic remarks by the remaining trolls/morons/shills still supporting vladimir putin of the type "there will be a cold winter for Europe" but the issue is that reality just doesn't point in that direction. Europe is actually doing...

It makes perfect sense that they aren't going to respond with nuclear weapons if russia uses nukes against a non-NATO country. Instead the threat is to use conventional weapons to fuck russia which would work just fine...

I had an issue with the hosting provider that people have issue connecting via tor but web proxies seem to work fine (including via tor). There has been a lot of spamming-attempts here due to it being easy to register but it always fails because of how we have set up the spam-filter. You...

13900K might not actually be binned overall better than 13700K Intel might already be saving the best dies for 13900KS. All cores working, good overclocker, working iGPU: 13900KS All cores working, medium overclocker, working iGPU: 13900K or 13900KF All cores working, bad overclocker: 13900 or...

Framechasers: 13900K is bad for overclocking He was able to test an early sample tent to someone else. Both the CPU and ram did clock better than alder lake but it's a bit disappointed the difference wasn't larger. CPU: 300mhz higher than 12900KS at the same voltage. They got all p-cores to...

Good DDR5 memory for zen4 What you want is to find single rank ram sticks with 16 GiB each so you get a total of 64 GiB of memory, just having 32 GiB of DDR5 is just fine for gaming now but it's not particularly great for productivity and it doesn't really make sense to buy zen4 for gaming...

zen4 has a bad memory controller If you take a look at the x670e gene you will see that it doesn't support any more than 6400 MT/s which is a big sign that the memory controller on the CPU sucks, i didn't find them specifying what it was for dual rank but it's probably 6000 MT/s. If we look at...

Using all 4 ram slots can be a bad idea Motherboard manufacturers typically list what ram speeds that are supported, that will depend on how many ram sticks you use. Let's take msi pro z790-p • 1DPC 1R Max speed up to 7000+ MHz • 1DPC 2R Max speed up to 6600+ MHz • 2DPC 1R Max speed up to...

DDR5 vs DDR4 If you go with raptor/alder lake you will also have the option to buy a DDR4 motherboard. With DDR4 you will lose significant memory bandwidth even compared to budget DDR5 but instead you can save money or achieve lower latency. Unfortunately good DDR4 is simply too expensive...

Framechasers He is an hilarious semi-scammer who is into chasing high fps. He is charging 500$ for unstable oc which is a massive ripoff but his actual content is actually very entertaining a lot of time, just be very skeptical regarding his overclocking advice. A lot of things he says in his...

"4080 12GB" is no more Nvidia ended up unlaunching it and didn't provide a launch date or price for the card it will be renamed to. While the confusing naming scheme and internet ridicule is probably part of the reason another reason might be that they rather just sell you 30-series cards...

Why the Russian missile strike are good news for Ukraine One big issue for Ukraine has been that putin has to maintain face and this results in him being overly aggressive. Putin needed some kind of win after his humiliating defeats on the battle field. Pretty much all pro-putin morons are...

No the FE model still isn't particularly great The FE model is great in terms of allowing easy overclocking. If you have it fully connected to the PSU (using all 4 connectors) you increase the power-limit to 600W giving higher performance very easily. While this is very far from ideal. What you...

The big issue with games like yugioh and a lot of other battle card games is that it requires a special card-deck which most people will not have. That's why it's better to invent some battle game that can be played on a standard deck. This is more like blackjack though. Cardchess is an...

colourbluff This is a causal bluff game where each player starts with 10 cards and then each player take curn drawing a card from the deck (if there is any left) and then playing a card xor passing to the next player. You win if you have no cards left on your hand and nobody called that final...

As expected the 4090ti is just 24 GiB This was expected since 24 GiB is already overkill for gaming. videocardz.com/newz/according-to-the-rumor-nvidia-is-already-saving-ad102-gpus-for-geforce-rtx-4090-ti This still has 2 SMs disabled, we can expect a "tital lovelace" coming too that will use...
