Amazon officially listing the i5-12600K for pre-order...

For a price of $342.50

So much for competing with the 5600x, which has been going down to $270 routinely now.

Rumors we may get info on Zen3D on the 8th.

My body is ready.

I don't know if I'll ever be able to bring myself to frick with a custom loop. Just sounds like such a pain in the arse

I feel that way any hard lined tubing. Normal tubing is easy

If I'm going to do it, I would likely do hard tubing, because yolo. But the whole concept of having to drain and clean and refill the damned thing sounds awful.

AMD's new Radeon RX 7900 XT detailed in new leaks: Navi 31 GPU on 5nm + 6nm TSMC, 32GB GDDR6, 3D Infinity Cache, RDNA 3 monster.


Jesus, I guess MCM is a pretty damn big deal holy frick.

AMD's next-gen RDNA 3 architecture will power the new Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs with the new Navi 31-based GPU being a monster MCM (multi-chip module) design that will see Team Red take a huge leap over Team Green.

AMD's new flagship Navi 31 GPU will have WGPs (Work Group Processors) that will see the end of CUs (Compute Units) with RDNA 3 and the MCM-based GPUs. Navi 31 will have 2 x IPs: the GCD (Graphics Core Die) which will be made on TSMC's new 5nm process, as well as an MCD (Multi-Cache Die) which is made on TSMC's new 6nm process node. We've heard recently that AMD had taped out its new Navi 31 MCM GPU die.

We should see GPU clocks of around 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz which should spit out a gigantic 75 TFLOPs of FP32 compute performance, which compared to the flagship Navi 21-based Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card is a huge 226% performance improvement.

Yes, Navi 31 -- which should be the Radeon RX 7900 XT -- is 226% faster than AMD's fastest RDNA 2-based Radeon RX 6900 XT.

but what's it's hashrate?

It's good to see team red and team green stonk like they have been

You're hearing similar numbers about Nvidia Lovelace. My concern is that both of them are getting a little too excited about the upcoming PCIe 5 power spec and are going a little crazy...

I'm not particularly concerned about the ability to cool cards with 500w power draws, but I am concerned about our reaching the point in which computers dump so much heat into a room that it becomes uncomfortable to session game without the fan on and the door open.
