    Interpol doesn't really do anything but pass information.

    So you mean they won't get information about Swedish residents anyway?

    What made me wonder was because in a video two(?) guys from NMR was stopped by the police who was very sure they would go to Gothenburg, where NMR would have a demonstration.

    That would to me suggest the police knew they had sympathies with them or even had gathered intelligence about them going there, which is a political event.

    In some way that would to me seem to suggest they do care about their political sympathies after all and since Interpol is just fine with profiling and registering people and Sweden is participated I assumed that maybe they report these individuals to Interpol instead and then a register is created there which they have access to anyhow regardless of what our laws say.

    Or you don't think Swedish authorities will contribute such data to Interpol because of how our laws are?

    My advice, assume all processors have backdoors and select those designed and made in places that cannot be compelled by the country in which you live for backdoor access.

  12. Re:need more pci-e lanes (DMI is over subed) + new on Intel's Just Launched 8th Gen 'Coffee Lake' Processors Bring the Heat To AMD's Ryzen · · Score: 1

    Ryzen has 24 lanes of which 16x will/may be used for graphics and 4x for the chipset and then another 4x from the CPU and Intel have "20" of which 4 (DMI 3 8 GT/s) is for the chipset right?

    So yeah, a lead of 4 for Ryzen.

    But if you NEED more PCI-express then Intel have HEDT and AMD have Threadripper. But sure, more would be nice, and Zen+ people speculate will have PCI-express 4.0, that's of course nice. I feel you're right pointing out this flaw and it one but I don't really know what I should be doing about it. Sure Ryzen 7 may be a bit better because of this, even though I feel connectivity is pretty limited there too.

  13. Re:I'm a bit of an AMD Fanboi, but... on Intel's Just Launched 8th Gen 'Coffee Lake' Processors Bring the Heat To AMD's Ryzen · · Score: 2

    I think it's reasonable to ask why Intel CPU's have not seen any large jump in performance or features until they had to, due to AMD competition, again.

    You've answered that yourself.
    Because of lacking AMD competition they didn't had too.

    The R&D time and cost on these new chips is multiple years. That means, that Intel can't just roll out a chip in response to AMD, unless they either have good corporate intellignence and knew one to two years ago that AMD was coming back in a big way

    No problem.
    Intel have improved their cores and production the whole time and have had quad core desktop chips since Core 2. They launched six core Sandy-Bridge-E processors back in 2011 and have had Xeons with many cores too for a very long time.
    So it's been around. Intel just haven't put it into the main-stream market. The six-core i7 5820 from 2014 didn't really cost more than the i7 4790K though ($10-$20?) so even back then you could get a six-core CPU for the price of a quad-core one. The motherboards and RAM for the HEDT platform (DDR4 in this case) was more expensive though.

    With quad-core on core quad, core i, on Sandy-bridge (2xxx), Ivy-bridge (3xxx), Haswell (4xxx), Broadwell (5xxx), Skylake (6xxx), Kaby lake (7xxx) I've been waiting to get it hopefully I think even with Broadwell and over and over again it didn't happened even though they have shrunk the manufacturing process and the HEDT chips went from 6 to 8 to 10 cores and even more now (18?), it was bound to happen eventually and hopefully it would have happened now anyway. As in the lower end though whatever that would get this sort of upgrade or not and as for whatever the HEDT line would get as high core counts as they ended up getting that could be questioned. But something like the i7 8700K I've waited on and expect for a long time. It was obvious it would happen eventually.

    or the much more likely answer that they've been sitting on new features and performance because they wanted to milk the previous generation for all it was worth.

    Of course. Why would they do something else unless needed?

    which is why I will be building an new AMD system, even if it doesn't give me quite the top performance I might get from an Intel chip

    I've had a shitty processor for a long time and waited and waited on Ryzen even at this time the last year for instance and then it was supposed to come maybe end of year, then Q1, then March, then weak supplies, and then the performance wasn't really up there in gaming (it has improved since, as has memory support), but then the Coffee lake become closer and closer and knowing i7 7700K was better for games before and assuming 8700K would keep up in single thread performance but get 50% boost from two more cores in multi-threaded (6 cores faster than Ryzen cores vs 8 Ryzen cores) it seemed to be the best trade-off. And now it's launched and for multi-threaded at stock it doesn't really live up to over-clocked 1700 or stock 1800X performance at all tasks but with both OC it likely is very close on both. At single-core performance it's better of course. Still for streaming it seem like Ryzen 7 may still have a small advantage. I wonder if that could be compensated for by running OBS on 2 cores and the game on 4? Some people use a secondary PC for streaming,

    I would to be fine supporting AMD and these last months it's been a wise decision and even now it's a decent choice. However since I've sat here and waited with my complete garbage processor (AMD Phenom X4 9850) it feel a bit easier to buy the Intel chip because that I couldn't buy before whereas I could had gotten my lovely Ryzen 7 1700X a long time ago (I actually have had at-least two at home and even pre-ordered it but I've returned them because I have been undecided even though I would unlikely had been unhappy with it and this PC is such a fucking pain plus just think of all the electricity I've wasted and all

  14. Submitter likely meant base but the base frequency isn't even very relevant than the all core boost is higher and the power save brings it lower anyway.

    The i5 8400 has an all core boost of 3.8 GHz and a single core boost of 4.0 GHz, so the 2.8 base isn't as bad as it seem ..

    It's a great gamers chip.
