To be honest, nothing Intel can currently touch this new chip either,
How so? Since this is just a unlocked 28 core Xeon re-purposed for workstations. A chip you can buy today if you have $10K burning a hole in your pocket.
Probably, but if you are looking at 28 core CPUs, it's because you have a highly multi-threaded workload and nothing AMD can currently touch this new chip. It's not always about price.
Coffee Lake, not Skylake. It's most likely just a binned 8700K with slightly higher factory clocks. Also, again, this is just the single-core turbo boost clock speed, the base clock is 4GHz.
Highly unlikely. They might base a new process of an existing design but there is still a bunch of retooling that needs to be done. I doubt they would release some one-off chip based on an existing design as their first chip. This is just a 0.3ghz increase in the base and boost clocks so it's not like it's a massive increase.
Or you can get the Workstation Xeon they just showed off that runs 28 cores at 5GHz on all cores. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-cpu-28-core-5-ghz,37201.html
I can take this as the monetization algorithm may be programmed with an accidental sexist bias.
There is no algo, at least on Twitch which is by far the largest platform. Streams are monetized by tips (viewer give money directly or via a virtual currency they buy from twitch), subscriptions the user buys to get access to features such as streamer-specific emotes (that the streamer creates and uploads themselves), or ads which are user-targeted. In addition streamers can use patreon or gamewisp for outside subs (if they are not a partner or affiliate with access to Twitch subs), referral links in their descriptions, etc.
Depends on how deep the source of the tracking is. As we saw recently with the Securus and Location Smart the phone company is happy to sell your tower location data. Who knows who else they are selling it to.
The reward by its nature is not an investment, though. If you buy something, even something with a relatively long life like a pair of headphones, simply for your own use without generating any kind of return, that is consumption.
You are not buying anything. You are offering funding to the company. The company offers gifts back in exchange for that funding. Crowdfunding sites are not storefronts, and there are extra risks involved because of that. You are literally making my point that people don't understand what they are actually doing when they crowdfund a company like this.
You are NOT pre-ordering anything. You are helping to fund a company but instead of getting shares or a stake in the company, they offer you the product in return for that support. This is not the same as a pre-order.
Buying (hoping to buy?) a pair of headphones through a crowd-funding site is hardly an investment...
And that's the problem with crowd funding: People don't understand what they are doing and think they are just pre-ordering a product. You are not buying headphones, you are providing capital to a company to make headphones, and as a thank you, they will send you a pair when they are done. It's a micro-investment but since they are not allowed to reward you with ownership due to government rules (like a regular investor would be), they reward you with a product. People need to understand there is always a risk the company won't make it and they will be out their investment with little recourse.
I did like some others have and set my guest network up with a password and made the login page look like some official government page for the nosy neighbors out there.
No, your particular scenario is slow. For the vast majority of users they are way faster and more convenient than driving a USB drive to someone who-knows-where.
Slashdot Mirror
That's not how that works, at all.
Mainstream support for Windows 7 ended on January 31, 2015. The 2020 date is extended support, which doesn't cover "complementary support".
This chip doesn't run at 5GHz either! That demo was an OC'd chip being cooled by a chiller unit. All smoke and mirrors.

8700K not 4700K. DOH
The 8700K that this one is based on hits 4.7ghz turbo (vs 5.0 for this one)

These are 6 core/12 thread CPUs running at 4.0ghz base clock and 5.0 ghz SINGLE CORE boost. Basically it sounds like they are binned 4700K's. Run is limited to 50,000 units. https://www.anandtech.com/show/12875/intel-announces-the-core-i78086k-coffee-lake-at-5-ghz
These are just binned 8700K's which already run a 4.7Ghz boost. They didn't change die sizes for some one-off run.
Ah, no. Nice try though.
Yea, that's what I said.

If so then no surprise because google has been giving out free minis all over the place lately.
It's the /. way

That would be easier than stir fry for a robot. That's a stupid simple mean to make.
