I need one of those in my media server. Tried streaming a 4K torrent via plex to my Chromecast Ultra, and the 4770K couldn't handle it.

Mining isn't going anywhere.

Bitcoin to surge 80% to $5,000 and Ethereum to double. Ethereum already up 12% today alone.

Well, it will eventually (the huge surge in profitable mining and GPU shortages, I mean). Always comes in cycles, lasts less than a year. I could single-handedly kill off mining right now by buying as many GPUs as I could get my hands on. That's how my luck works.

If they do not lighten the load it might go away. It's taking 5days sometime for my BTC transactions.

It's starting to show it's age.

Well the $5,000 price target for Bitcoin is for 2018 and it just split today, called Bitcoin Cash.

Ethereum doubling is by year end.

I only purchase 200-300 at a time just for my orders.

Used to sell to make money but it never goes down to buy low and sell high.

Not sure if this is the first leaked 1950X bench but anywho...apparently TR overclocks better and is more stable at those OC's than Ryzen so that is good early news.

That's the weird part. How does this user have a 1900x and no other recent CPU on his previous benchmarks?

Well it appears to be a data/server PC most likely, he went from a 12 core Xeon to a 16 core TR.

It also says the Xeon is a 12 core X5650, but that is a 6 core so he has 2.

It's the writer from NAG Hardware, everything is still under NDA...believe they said the TR NDA is the 8th.

ASRock accidentally confirms that Coffee Lake will require a new motherboard, not backwards compatible with current Z170 or Z270 boards.

So its still an LGA1151 socket, but requires a new motherboard? Really Intel?

Yeah, technically LGA1151v3 I believe, they have done this before but it's still lame.

How is this lame?

You say the silliest things sometimes.
