Where do you think this stuff [1] is cooked up? To be fair, we mostly use Signal though.

> I feel badly for all of the people who may have held off on a 9800X3D purchase because of this Passmark that we thought wouldn't work. I'm considering a new build soon, but RAM prices are out of control, like they've more than doubled since June! (Damn AI bubble...) I guess I'll have to get by with my Ryzen 1800X a bit longer.

You can likely put a 5800X3D or 5700X3D in the same motherboard and get a massive performance upgrade

5700X3D is great for gaming, but for programming 5900XT will be nicer. You can run make -j32 :)

This is exactly the kind of conversation I can have with some coworkers and in some Discord channels. Aren't people awesome?

Tech/Game/Movie journalism is mostly trash because they are like a external Spokesperson for the paying business, often they even get the text that they should publish.

However calling all journalists "trash" i wildly unfair for people like Scott Horton, Patrik Baab or David Talbot....and manymany more.

I was hoping for a slightly budgetier X3D chip but I went and got a plain 9700 a few months ago. I realized I probably don't need the performance and the extra power budget/efficiency of using a 65W chip was nice.

Clearly there's a market for a 9700X3D though!
