Are the Raven Ridge APU's expected to have the same performance as the Ryzen CPU but with a GPU included?

How would the Smart Prefetch and Neural Net Prediction features of Ryzen work with benchmarks? Does the CPU need to run a particular program for awhile before those features start to make a difference? I was wondering if the those features make a difference in benchmarks and how you can actually...

I am going to replace the screen on my HP Spectre x360 and when I took the lcd module off I did not notice that I had bended the CPU heat pipe upwards slightly. It easily went back down in place, but I am wondering if you can do damage to the heat pipe by bending it even slightly? From what I...

What switch are you using for your home lab? I would prefer a Cisco switch with full Layer 3 IOS. I was wondering if anyone is using one of those bare metal switches? I believe they are expensive though. 10GB would be nice also but I don't want it to cost an arm and a leg.

I have not been following the home lab scene for a while now. What is the latest and greatest home lab server builds for VMware? Will my older X8SIL-F with Xeon 3440 CPU's still be good? I am not sure they can do ESXi 6. Is there a new version of the Dell C6100 4 node server that everything is...

I have been using a pair of A900's since 2006 or so and the the adhesive on one of the cans that holds the padding on finally gave out. I am in the market for a new headset for gaming and movies. Is the ATH-A900x the updated version of the A900's and is the sound on them still good for gaming...

Does anyone know if there are any privacy policy's for blogs templates that you can use. Like a site that has them listed and you can just copy/paste? I think I should have some kind of privacy policy on my blog and from what I gather if you use adsense then google requires it.

I hope this is not true. Maybe they don't actually know the plans for the next Xbox so they are going to hold out until Microsoft makes a move. http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2012/01/10/sony-doesnt-plan-to-unveil-a-new-playstation-at-key-trade-show/?mod=WSJBlog

How many of you use GNS3 for ASA 5500 Firewalls along with ASDM? I am wondering what kinds of topologies you guys use to simulate it and learn it. While I am on the subject of GNS3 I had a questions about the new version and the capture feature. I installed the latest version last night with...
