2700X to 3700X was already a fairly big difference, though.

Yeah, sadly if 5700X3D were still available for the $230 I spent, it would be a no brainer, but they're quite expensive now.

Depends. Some CPU heavy games will notice a difference, but it won't be enormous. What are you playing and at what resolution?

This goes for almost any mouse over bluetooth - they're all stuck at 125 Hz, which can feel slushy. If you do want to improve battery life,…

It's about staying under the flying limit. Agreed it's very low if you aren't flying.

I think that's the point. Office users want something with a bit more resistance as your average user is not playing a twitchy shooter,…

Yeah, I crack an egg on top, which is nicer to do in a frypan. It's not bubbling away or anywhere near the rim, so I prefer the pan. But…

20 cm pan is perfect for a single packet of ramen - enough water to cover the noodles without diluting the broth too much.

Fair enough!

Can I ask what do you do that lets you claim a gaming graphics card on tax? Or just fingers crossed no-one cares?

How is release year relevant? Performance per dollar is king (plus feature set, power consumption, driver support, etc.). Value is relative…

It's also 36% cheaper than the cheapest 4070 despite being like 17% slower at 1440p. It's objectively good value in this market.

That's kind of the point. It *is* a bottleneck on the 8GB version and 16 solves that.

I'd say that's a big part, but there's also some spatial awareness and logic going on. Not 100% rote learning.

The kids that can solve a cube well generally also put the effort in for schoolwork. There's a big crossover in mindset (and especially a…

I know people that still run even though they're never going to match Usain Bolt.

Honestly the GAN 356M is about $30 and feels so premium. It's good enough for almost anyone. And given the Rubik's one is $25 RRP, that's a…

All good. Still get it and dump it in a box. In case you ever want to dip your toes into doubles - it's basically a staple. It will also be…

The irony, too. He dislikes Incin but caved and used it because it's just too good. Then they make it his event pokemon...

Pretty much. It's designed for the competitive doubles format. It's lv 50, so probably fine once you have about 6-8 badges, but the moveset…

While FH5 is arcadey compared to Gran Turismo and Motorsport, but it's not in the same realm as NFS. If you leave most of the assists off,…

They both have those. S24 (even Exynos) is going to be faster and more compact for roughly the same screen size. Pixel 9a should have…

Yeah, 5000 is the last generation of that socket - these are an upgrade option for people with existing AM4 platforms. I would not…

Stacks of people here (myself included) have bought AMD CPUs from Aliexpress - totally legit. I can't speak for this exact seller, but no…

I am sure the production cost was higher, but I am not sure that translates to 3x value to the end user for AJ. 16-bit sound soundtracks in…

Side-load Revanced Manager, download and patch YouTube APK, ???, profit. Don't use precompiled YouTube Vanced apks.

Heat shouldn't be leaving out the front, that's intake. Besides the case shouldn't be doing much of the dissipating if you have airflow and…

Basically any SSD is going to be a significant upgrade in regular usage over any HDD. However, these seem to have a very poor reputation…

From BuyMobile via Kogan over a year ago. Grey market, so I took the risk warranty could be sketchy, but at the time, there was really…
