About 7% additional maximum memory bandwidth - so if you were in a 100% memory bandwidth constrained situation that would be the maximum performance uplift. But being 100% memory bandwidth constrained is extremely rare so it’s probably a marginal improvement. But hey, any extra performance for free is a good thing.
I haven’t dipped my toes into DDR5 yet, did any of the sticks end up getting the rumored feature where they have multiple XMP/EXPO profiles or the option to save an additional one to the stick?
It would be really neat to be able to buy one with a 7600 CL36 and 6000 CL30 profile already on-board for ease of use with different CPUs. I’m familiar with setting everything up manually (on DDR4 at least) but for friends builds it’s nice to have the option to help them set a profile without doing it all manually.
It’s practical to use their existing test suite. It allows for comparison against other parts they have previously tested. Plus plenty of people are still playing games from the past 5 years.
Yes, so much, but I keep buying miatas so i’m basically cursed with dealing with it.
Valve cover leak very common, new gasket and it’s good. The top is more involved, personally I wouldn’t replace a soft top myself so I would consider that a $2000 repair for a shop (less if you’re lucky) and use it to negotiate price if they are willing to budge. Other than that seems like a good deal. Inspect the rocker panels for rust but if it’s a CA car it’s probably good.
The SL has that and the air scarf feature, they’re a dream on cold days.
In my experience Intel is generally best, but they all make duds, including Intel. I use a Qualcomm in my laptop at work and it’s very good.
Prometheus - The Fire Bringer 🔥 . Will the performance be “fire”, or will it run hot as fire? Or maybe if it’s the ‘c’ parts, the lower production costs and increased margins will be “fire” on AMDs balance sheet.
Unfortunately we need to be careful what we wish for. As AI processing becomes more and more popular, if a card like the RTX 4070 had 20 GB vram they would probably all be snatched up by companies to use for AI processing on the cheap, and suddenly 4070 and higher all go for $2000 like the mining craze all over again.
