I ordered a 5950x from Mike's Computer Shop on launch day in the first few minutes. Still waiting, they told me that they basically haven't gotten any stock of the higher end chips and very minimal numbers of the 5600x and 5800x.

I'm doing this too, heard about it elsewhere, only reason I popped back to this forum was I figured I'd get the HardOCP team number if I'm doing F@H.

GPU makes sense, because it will give you good (>60) framerates in pretty much anything out there right now. I wouldn't upgrade the CPU unless you're also planning a significant GPU upgrade (better than a 1070) because you'd not going to get those super-high framerates in modern games without a...

I think Intel already has the patent licensing set up for GPUs. AMD and Intel have a lot of cross-licensing agreements and Intel and Nvidia have an agreement on GPU patents as well. It is a bit weird that Chris Hook is now being tapped to market a product that as of this time doesn't exist. The...

Rarely do you find a company as openly contemptuous of their customers as Apple is. They're nearing the level they were at in the late 90's right before they nearly crashed into the ground last time. A huge YouTube channel damaged a brand new iMac Pro and can't get it repaired (at their cost)...

When they completely redesigned the Camaro for the 2016 model year they made it smaller and lighter, by building off the GM Alpha platform they use for the smallest Cadillacs instead of Zeta imported from Australia. It's now slightly lighter than the Mustang (although I'm sure this will go back...

This is exactly the same thing that happens every time Microsoft releases a big new release of Windows. Many people complain about the changes, the install base goes up, many people switch, and then they discontinue updates. The same thing happened with Windows 3.1, 98, XP and now it's 7. If...

I'm not sure I agree that Bitcoin will be worth $60,000 next year. But it does seem like it's cruising towards a crash.

If it doesn't have at least a week of battery life I'll never buy one. My current watch has 2+ years of battery life and does 90% of what I'd use a Smart Watch for (Look pretty, tell time), but not let me check weather real quick. Notifications that just direct you back to the phone are pretty...

Anyone who hasn't already done this may not know. But upgrading doesn't deactivate your previous Windows version key. So you can try it out risk-free.

The number is accurate, but the conclusion is a bit silly. 240mph is a record for Hyperloop One, yes. But it's still much slower than JR's traditional mag levs have gone (375mph), seeing as Hyperloop One is running a mag lev train in a low-pressure envionment, 240mph isn't very impressive.

Man, I'm excited to see how this performs. I have a distinct impression that this will be the first card that can really handle 4K at solid frame rates. I can't really justify paying $3000 for a video card, I'd rather invest that money and buy the $1000 version in 6-12 months that will be 99% as...

If Google aren't a bunch of idiots this will just be a new front end for Google Play Music. But past performance suggests that they might not know what they're doing and have built an entire separate offering for no reason.

Wow, the combination of two horrible things! Burn it!

They'll just make glitter out of something else and instead of being dirt cheap it will be almost dirt cheap.
