The Shannon-Nyquist sampling theorem only defines the sample rate to perfectly reproduce a signal of a certain bandwidth. It says nothing about noise, distortion, dynamic range. In…

AMD HBM GPUs, the only ones that a PC gamer would buy, are known to suffer from issues with the HBM due to thermal cycling issues

415 volts on a 30A breaker, like you might find in an undergraduate electrical engineering lab, is very lethal. I'd hazard a guess that's what the OP is talking about.

IBM had 5GHZ in 2014. [1] Clock speed is not a measure of performance alone. Besides, most of the work in reaching a certain clock speed or target can be owed to the foundry (in th…

"unspecified frequency" is LPDDR5-6400. Better than anything else you can get for a reasonable price, and well into the experimental range with a 12th gen Intel cpu

Yeah you can generally underclock a modern intel or amd chip down to 400MHz, but of course other bottlenecks (storage, RAM, networking) will be massively out of proportion

Professional CS:GO is played mostly at 1280x720 and 300-400FPS+ There is definitely a market need for this type of setup, whether you think it's a dumb idea or not.

It's not like Apple would ever do it, but the M1 should have heaps of OC headroom. Given that the RAM is already on package, all they need to do is turn up the CPU multiplier. AMD …

to be fair, that's unavoidable with AVX-512, you can't underestimate how much power it draws compared to non-vectorised instructions. That's why Prime95 is such an effective stress…
