Friend of mine just sent this to me so take it with a grain of salt but apparently this is from a review of the 1700 vs 2700X both clocked to 4GHz, Quite possible it's real.

Looks logical and thus legit, nice post dice!

WCCFTECH reported on that review. Gaming benchmarks gains seem to be "thanks to lower cache and memory latency."

cache and memory latency are pretty important for everything so yeah it would help quite a bit. More consistently high clocks under load is also a factor into the increased performance.

That's awesome to see. I guess the XFR clock (it was 4.4, right?) is more or less the maximum OC like with current Ryzens, so basically a 20% bump in gaming overall.

Yeah that certainly looks to be within the realm of truth. Good numbers if they are true for sure.

Intel boasts of an FPGA chip capable of 10 TFLOPS

In a newsroom post a few hours ago Intel boasted of a new chip on the block that is capable of 10 TFLOPS. The Intel Stratix 10 FPGA can perform 10 trillion floating point operations per second, claims the chipmaker, and it is “the fastest chip of its kind in the world”.

Why is it when there are free games I already have them, somebody checking my PC?

Yeah I know the feeling!

Nice! Great chance to catch up on this with a few texture mods.

EK Fluid pre-built fully liquid cooled Gaming PCs announced

The gaming-tuned systems will be configurable online and start at US$2099. These systems will only be available in the US, for the time being.

https://m.hexus.net/tech/news/systems/117449-ek-fluid-pre-built-fully-liquid-cooled-gaming-pcs-announced/

- more options than shown are available of course.

Way too expensive for what you get in the box.

An EU based company only selling in the US...okay...

Might be because of some legalities they can't get around in the EU?

That's news here right? apparently AMD are saving the 2800x to compete with Intel's forthcoming 8 core.

Apparently when Nvidia launch their new GPU around summer they are also revamping the Nvidia control panel -

haha it's only taken them about 15 years

Well, has it really been a necessity? I don't see the point of it. Unless they add their own Overclocking feature, I'll continue to get all this data from afterburner and realtemp.

Seems like bloatware features to me, thrown in to try and further sell their new GPU. The OC presets there look a little weak. We want more control.

Massive grains of salt here, as the Titan V cannot be used in SLI and the Ryzen CPU is used with 4200MHz memory and the clocks of the CPU are read as 4.2GHz (it is rare for non-CPU monitoring utilities to read exact clocks (they usually just say the stock clocks))

All good points but it would be nice to have a more up to date looking control panel, AMD did wonders with theirs, Nvidia are well overdue an overhaul.
