It's quite difficult to install Win7 on Kaby Lake or Ryzen. Those guys already had to jump through a number of hoops, so one more hoop to jump through isn't going to stop them at this stage.
There really isn't a problem with gaming performance in the first place. Looking at the benchmarks I see no game tested with Ryzen that doesn't have an acceptable frame rate. Half the games tested were GPU bound anyway. And a few were actually faster on Ryzen.
Interesting discussion. He made a comment there "economics don't make sense until next year". I assume that means the cost of refurbishment is currently more expensive than the value of the booster.
So now, Sony is going to have to give AMD another pile of cash and release a Playstation that's even faster than "Project Scorpio", just after they thought they scored a winner with the PS4 pro.
No, the answer is that single threaded is nearly always more important than multi-threaded, because you are doing single threaded tasks about 99% of the time. Even tasks that are multi-threaded benefit from having good single threaded performance. The best scenario is having a CPU that is good at both. (but it's not the only thing, memory and cache is also important) From what I read in the reviews is that AMD has improved their single threaded performance by 50%, which brings it close to Broadwell levels. That is a big improvement and means that they have something that's at least competitive.
Well, it's very brave of them to confess to their "Coding sins", but that doesn't mean they won't face the repercussions. This is Donald Trump's America after all. "Don't know what np complete means? Deport him back to Mexico!" "What? But that's ridiculous, I'm not even from Mexico"
I'm just wondering how will it stack up against RX Vega, which will be released next quarter? Rumours have it Vega is 12 TFLOPs, while 1080 Ti is only 11 TFLOPs
but haven't they already enforced a payment fee some time ago? If that didn't stop the scammers before, then it's unlikely to make any difference this time.
Seems like a really badly designed system to me. If the time stamp of a driver somehow got changed by accident, it would lead to a very hard to find problem.
According to an article on Arstechnica, there is some problem with the current design, which means the recovered boosters are only good for one or two re-launches. They need the next version of Falcon 9, block 5 before they are properly re-usable.
"It now seems likely that SpaceX will fly the landed boosters it currently has, at most, once or twice, before retiring them, instead of multiple times. Although the company hasn't elaborated on the problems with the engines, booster structure or composite materials that has challenged their attempts to re-fly its Falcon 9 first stages, Musk seems confident that changes to the Block 5 version of the rocket will solve the problem. "
that's largely irrelevant. Your system is already easily fingerprinted using installed fonts, IP address, OS version, and plugins. Even "clock skew" can be used to finger print your PC.
> play them on iOS 10 and previous You're being a bit disengenuous. If you buy a new device it comes with the latest iOS with no option to downgrade. Also iOS warns you every day that you have to upgrade. Plus the fact that other apps only support the latest version. Not upgrading is not really an option.

I thought Moore's trade show law was that the booth babes would double each year
Am I the only one that thinks "the Dumpster Dingos" would be a good name for a band?
So, Apple has gained their own definition of the work "courageous", a bit like the Alanis Morissette definition of ironic
Can you make it brighter, so it makes my eyeballs bleed?

Samsung store catches fire:

There's using the same naming logic as the Fast and Furious movies (i.e. random out of sequence numbers)
The reason for the update block could be this:
https://hardforum.com/threads/...
Windows 10 has a buggy scheduler which means games run faster on Windows 7. This update block is to prevent gamers from migrating to Windows 7.
they block updates for Window 8.1 and it's only 2 years old

Yeah, but that won't happen til next year... by which time AMD have Zen2

Exactly!
Intel's real response to Ryzen is the start of a new dirty tricks campaign: http://wccftech.com/intel-play...

This article gives good analysis of the latest nodes:

Samsung's 10nm is about 10% denser than Intel's 14nm
No, no, it's perfectly safe - now that they got rid of those pesky "roof snipers"
but haven't they already enforced a payment fee some time ago?

"...still allows links to sources such as Kremlin backed news organization Russia Today, and Fox News"
Ok, Russia Today makes sense, but Fox News? I never released they were backed by the Kremlin
