    The idea of equality of outcome is a straw man. You won't find many people defending it, because as you say it's silly and outright harmful.

    Its in the fucking SJW literature.

    The SJWs are all about equality of outcome. "Not enough black people", "Not enough women", "Not enough homosexuals", .... etc..

    Or to greatly simplify it: "Too many white people", "Too many men"

    Its complete projection.

    If you are constantly counting the number of black people around you, then the last thing you are is a non-racist. The best case scenario for you is that you are dwelling on race because you want to look good while doing it.

    Consider the phrase "it goes without saying"

    ..the liberals keep saying things that go without saying. Constantly. Its all about them, not the people that they are pretending to care about.

    Have you? I had a Phenom II on AM3 and kind of wanted an upgrade. No option for that since the FX line used AM3+

    Firstly, quite a few of the later AM3 motherboards supported AM3+ chips with a bios update because the AM3 socket was first modified to the "black block" version that had a hole (unconnected) for the extra pin of future AM3+ cpu's.

    Secondly, early adopters of AM3 could upgrade all the way to AMD's Thuban line of processors. I upgraded from a dual core Athon II to a hexa core Phenom II.

    The delay in shift from 14nm to 10nm has been pretty bad across the industry, in fact considering the performance improvements for processors, GPUs over the past 7 years, it seems quite apparent that the manufacturing process still plays a very heavy part in the performance boost between generations, just as much as architectural design of the processor.

    AMD went from 22nm everything, to both 14nm and 10nm ... this year.

    The only company delayed on 10nm is Intel. Their specialized 3D "Tri-Gate" transistors apparently can't be produced economically at 10nm. Intel has just back-peddled back to working with regular old FinFET's like the rest of the industry. They are late to the 14nm FinFET game so its still going to be another year before Intel figures out how to do 10nm FinFET's like the 3 other companies that heave already beaten them to 10nm production.

    These Ryzen CPU's are all still 14nm, with only the console chips (so far) getting the 10nm treatment.

    Intel is FUCKED, and its partly because they chased 10nm Tri-Gates, but mostly its because their vertical business model is now very harmful to them as they dont know how to keep previous gen fabs busy making money 24/7.

    And from what I've gathered (admittedly, I haven't investigated either side much), AMD's integrated video performance lags behind Intel's

    AMD has destroyed Intel on integrated graphics since the first AMD APU's which was over half a decade ago. Its not even close. The only parts Intel has that can compete are the "Iris Pro" chips which have extremely expensive edram bolted onto them such that a similar performing (in every way, cpu, gpu, i/o, etc..) AMD APU is literally 50% of the cost of Intels "Iris Pro" solutions.

    So "what you gather" is complete crap. "what you gather" is apparently so sketchy that you need to question the sources you "gather" from... because they are lying to you.

    You are both retarded.

    The reason Civ6 performs so poorly and doesnt use a lot of threads is because the entire fucking game is an interpreted script built on top of shitty xml garbage.

    Its why those loading times are enormous even on an SSD.

    These Civ games have not gotten more advanced since Civ3. They have just been pushed into easier to maintain scripting so that their lead developers can hand off the maintenance to junior developers sooner, freeing up the lead developers for another title.

    Why should Intel care? How many people replace the CPU on their motherboard? Is this even 1% of the market?

    Intel should care not because of the home builders. Intel should care because of the big box builders.

    Those older motherboards have come down in price over their period of compatibility, meaning that even big name system builders could offer lower prices.

    ..'cept now they can't... they have to RAISE their prices in order to screw down these latest more expensive motherboards.
