S7: still working (from 2018) Oneplus 8: still working (from 2021) iPhone 13: still working. These flagship products last really long. Take good care and they last long, really long. Ting tong.

I am just saying that there is no need to discard, that this article was exaggerating things. Like others said, if one did not even know that kernel was already compromised, they were ****ed already. They won’t even know that firmware too is compromised unless they see some really wierd things.

Wife has iPhone 13 and I have 15 pro max. Both are absolutely snappy. Do not bring Android kind of processor comparison into Apple products. Coming to pricing, S23 was available under 40k in recent sales and for that price, it is absolute steal.

Why? You need to erase entire firmware and patch new clean firmware.

This kind of firmware infection could be new to you but this is becoming more and more common. Router firmware infections are the most common attacks these days. Prevention is rather easy. Do not use admin or high privilege account and protect router and other vulnerable devices. You need not...

There is a vulnerability for every hardware and software. Saying this as we work closely with SecOps. They say there should be zero vulnerabilities but that can never be the case. We upgrade vendor software to fix one and in a week. There are few more that are identified. Coming to this one...

It just looks like they will launch Arrow Lake and Lunar Lake without any pompom. It would be a soft launch.

Not really 'much lesser price'. 7800x3d costs 3k less. But when it comes to gaming, there is no comparison. I would pick 7800x3D over the 9700X any given day, even if it costs more than the 9700x. The 7700x though costs 30.5k while 9700x costs 37k. I would go with the 9700x because the 7700x has...

Exactly what I was trying to convey. This time around, motherboards and memory will be huge differentiating factor given how the CPUs are behaving when they are paired with right motherboard and memory. One who gets it perfect is going to sell lot of units for sure. MLID summed all this...

Summed it up really well

Sell it now. Attest you will be selling a working CPU. Don't wait til it kicks the bucket :D

My JayZ is just a reference on calling out something that is more related to FW/SW than Hardware. My go-to channels have been GN, der8auer and then I go to anandtech/tomsharware for detailed review. The less we talk about LTT the better. Yes, Zen 5 is more and more looking like a...

AMD's major mistake is sending review units when BIOS was not ready and new chipset based boards too were not ready for launch. Sticking to 6 and 8 core chipsets even now is a mystery. God only knows why they are trying to stick to that. This is AMD's 10++++++++++ moment TBH. Even I would have...

When JayZ did his tests and reviews, he clearly mentioned that the BIOS patch he is using for review is a pre-launch patch and it may not be stable. These idiots (Hardware Unboxed), instead of trying to understand why they among all others are getting lower scores, going on and on about how bad...

Depends on what you want, what your budget is and what kind of urgency you are in. There will be stability issues for sure for few weeks, with 9000 cpus. Do not try to be the early adopter.

To make it easier to understand, I am bringing laptops into the discussion. AMD Strix Point 28W CPU matches the performance of 50W CPU of previous gen. How does it help? It is not just direct power savings. Even a 10% increase in performance, with a 30% decrease in power draw brings huge...

No one knows at this point of time. Wait for experts to release PBO and expo settings that work well for your exact motherboard. You can refer to this article though that has very detailed overclocking and testing...

To answer your 'sarcastic' question of what to do for productivity+gaming, this should help you: When AMD added an extra layer of cache on top of CCD, they had to reduce the base and boost clocks to control thermals. When there is single chiplet (eg: 7800x3D), this results in lower speeds (base...

That was first video that popped up in my YT subscriptions. It was drama and click bait, with un-ncessary -ve vibe overall. Unsubscribed to that channel.

These are not 'gaming chips'. AMD's stance has been clear in last few years. If you want gaming, go for x3D parts. if you want productivity, look at non-x3d parts. Coming to price, there is no way AMD is going to price them close to previous gen chips. Especially given that people are avoiding...
