2018 Hardware Thread [2]

According to Hardware Unboxed, those new AMD chips are useless releases because the 200G can be overclocked beyond the 240G speeds. I don't get the point of that statement. Surely AMD is binning their chips so they can get more profits from the faster chips, which makes absolutely sense to me.

I was never a fan of Hardware Unboxed, myself.

I like Steve, but Tim talks way too much.

The main thing with those new chips is low price and small power requirements while still being able be good for MM and internet an even some games.

Now you're confusing Finns with Russians. When we have -35C they have -60C.

Oh!
Don't you know?
That's not "real" cold(it's fake)

They only use it when someone tries to invade their country.

It's worked so far, Napoleon, Germans, and even the United States in 1920.

I've been at -40 in central/northern Ontario and Quebec and even drove snowmobiles. Toronto is at lower latitude than even Paris but can bu much colder.
