I don't see how they can possibly recover. I think this was their last shot.
My take is they'll just slowly wither until one of the big most relevant players like Samsung or Qualcomm decides to buy them out.

I highly doubt it's possible, but can we have a discussion thread where the following terms are banned: shill, jew, goyim, btfo, rekt, suicide watch, housefires, jewtel, manchild, cuck, amdrones,etc.
So I'm very ready to buy a cpu. Half my parts for my new build are here. Earlier today I cancelled my 1700x / x370 prime pre-order.
I admittedly am 80% gamer, 15% productivity, 5% shitting around the web. After the NDA lift and all the third party reviews hitting I think it could be said that there's a general consensus that the current release Ryzen chips are not bargains for the enthusiast gamer.
I personally have been an AMD fan since my first 700mhz Athlon in 2000. Currently I'm on my aging FX8320 which despite all the bad wrap bulldozer chips got, it has sufficed for my rig since 2012 and still plays most games fine for me. The only things I've found to be drug down badly by it are Star Citizen(unoptimzed) and Planetside 2 in big fights.
I really want Ryzen to be good not just because I'm an AMD fan but for a competitive market again in CPU's.
I do think the 1700/1800 cpu's are a bit of a flop for the predominantly gamer crowd.
However I think Ryzen's saving grace will be the 6core and especially 4core versions. I don't see them performing much differently in most games than the 8 core cpus. Considering these will likely be $120-260 chips I think they will be great values and worth picking up for the sake of gaming over an Intel chip.
It's not that the 1700/1800 perform bad in games on their own - but next to their similar priced Intel competition they fall short.
So I think the lower priced 4c and 6c chips will save Ryzen for the gaming market.
That said though, I have everything bought now and have my current computer sold next weekend so I think I'm going to make the plunge and pick up at 7700k.
Anyone else have a similar outlook for the future of Ryzen?

op here, also with that said though - I think Intel will still be the main choice for the absolute top end of the gaming market
>>
>>59211576
Yea well no shit, AMD has nothing that can beat the i7-6950X.
>>
>>59211595
I should have specified high end rather than top end.
I'm thinking the $300-500 crowd which is still a LOT of $ to drop on a CPU just for gaming.
In that range I think Intel will maintain that dominant market and AMD will fall behind. However the 4c and 6c chips might be able to secure them a VERY good portion of the average gaming crowd assuming their price points are where people are expecting.

coolermaster might be the dumbest bunch of fucks I've ever encountered. I got a HAF XB Evo this week and the hot swipe drive cages have a SATA power male connector on the back side instead of female molex. So yeah the obvious solution would be just pick up a 6 Pin PCIe to SATA power female to connect to it, but as far as I can tell the only one in existence is the one that came with my msi graphics card. I've searched and can't find one,
any ideas

You do realize you can make your own cables? Crimper tools are under $20 and some wire, pins and connectors aren't that much either. Otherwise stop being a poorfag and buy from companies like SuperMicro. pic related

Why are used thinkpads more recommended than Chromebooks on here? For $210, you can get a new Chromebook with a decent processor, a 1080p IPS screen, a good keyboard, an upgradable SSD, excellent battery life, good build quality, and it's new and has a warranty unlike some old thinkpad that you salvaged from a dumpster behind an office building. Used thinkpads are thick, have shitty TN screens, battery life is worse, etc etc. Women also won't think you're some freak using a computer that looks like it's from the 90s if they see you with a Chromebook.

Glad my new Chromebook comes with a palmrest! I was a bit concerned it didn't, given the shit build quality of any off-the-shelf $200 machine. ThinkPad or bust, faggot. Reliability doesn't lie.

Chromebooks are the most reliable platforms to ever be released. They just work. Not much except for a few niche programs that probably only your (((employer))) has seats for on a desktop or the company's laptop.

Allow me to interject for a moment, what you're referring to as "UNIX" is actually UNIX-like. More precisely, since there isn't a UNIX-like kernel (or a UNIX kernel for that matter), what you meant to says was "FreeBSD wins again".

G502 or G900 mouse & why?
14 Posts / 2 Images
View this topic

The g402 really is such a cute mouse.
>>
>>59210508
I prefer my G900 over my 502 simply because of the side buttons. You can have all four active at once which is really nice and surprisingly usable. Mechanically they are the same though, or I can't really tell the difference in any case. And then there is the added benefit of wireless on top of that, which is why I bought it in the first place. Again I couldn't tell any immediate difference between the two, the wireless function on the G900 works just as well as the wired function on itself or the 502, which is nice. And the G900 looks way better to me, more aggressive without the added and unwanted blue accent on the 502.

>>59210508
502 all the way.
Wireless suck in many ways

In reality, how important are Windows updates to your overall security? I hear some people really play it up as it you're basically a sitting duck for getting hacked if you don't let Windows update run amok. At the same time, I hear people say they run a completely clean installation of Windows 7 without any updates.
I mean, is the Windows OS really so fundamentally flawed that it has to constantly get security patches in order to remain usable?

You already have all ports on any router automatically blocked.
The OS itself has many ways to break it with physical access but over the internet it's fine, for the most part.
The updates mostly fix shit like: If a user does X he can circumvent samba security and access settings to access a file share on the local network without this update.
