The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

And I have a really weird one lol. Either I go to bed around 8 or 9pm to get up at 330-4am the next day when I work.
Or. I do wtfever lol. Usually staying up until 2am or I fall asleep, whichever comes first.

But there’s still some common ground when nobody posts for 6h.

Yeah. Though most days people are up until … Well, a few hours before when I get up to go to work, lol.

Huh. Interesting.

PS5? But they just released the PS4 Pro to grab more money from peasants.

2020 so meh.
And the more interesting bit is 2020 is also the scheduled date for a supposed entry of Intel into gaming GPUs. …
K?

No. Console 4 lyfe, bro! Dew and Doris in tha hood, y’all! WOOOO!

PS5 is going to be Ryzen and… Vega probably in 2020. Which might be interesting. But by then Nvidia will have released the next gen and AMD… Tbh no idea on GPUs lol. They don’t seem to be doing well other than at the midrange for GPUs
CPUs though… Not bad.

AMD just doesn’t seem to be able to catch up. I mean, with miners grabbing their GPUs left and right, even causing a shortage and crazy price hikes, they can’t really complain about business. But in terms of performance for gaming Nvidia leaves them behind. Been a while since an AMD GPU was clearly recommended for high-end (unless you’re a die-hard AMD fanboi and hate Nvidia with a passion or a crazy sale comes up).

Cause games do it, so it must be hip and trendy. And it must be REALLY good if you have to pre-order it to get one.

Lol.
But yeah. I dont understand it. Could just be Ryzen 1st gen but overclocked with better boost states for all we know currently … Or whatever. But oh look shiny box and shit lol.

I mean, with Ryzen Gen1 hitting a wall at 4.1GHz and now even the lowest of the Ryzen 7 series hitting that without having to OC it yourself (yeah, single core 4.1GHz vs all-core 4.1GHz, but still) is kinda cool. But no reason for me to consider upgrading.
But they also upped the TDP for the 2700X by 10W compared to the 1700X.

I totally agree with them. Couldn’t have written it better.

The boost states look the most interesting to me. Base clocks are like 3.7ghz on all cores all the way to 4.3ghz on one.

Otherwise its not massively different.
