  1. Has anyone benchmarked one of these recently against a 1080ti with current drivers? I'm really curious on ditching Nvidia cards all together and replacing my 1080ti with a 5700xt in my GFs rig
  2. Part of the reason to buy a company is to acquire their customer information. The ARM executive can say whatever he/she wants. As soon as NVDA owns ARM they'll sack most of the executives, put in their own people, and they'll legally own the information unless specifics of the purchase are the information is kept private in which case I believe it would have to be destroyed.
  3. They can disable the onboard encryption and then steal the drive and download the data. Most of the people that use these and TPM/PCC chips tend to work in high security environments or think they do and are worried about espionage or valuable data being leaked.
  4. Corsair peripherals quality has already gone down since they sold a few years back. I'm looking for another high quality professional vendor. A 70 dollar mouse should last more than 24 months. I deal with thunderbolt docks at my current job in quite a prolific manner. They constantly need firmware and BIOS updates. I don't feel like Corsair has the support mechanisms to properly push these to consumers without serious issues.
  5. Source was quoted. Here are several others https://www.zdnet.com/article/hackers-claim-they-can-now-jailbreak-apples-t2-security-chip/ https://hothardware.com/news/apple-t2-mac-security-chip-unpatchable-root-access-exploit https://www.techradar.com/sg/news/your-macbook-might-be-hiding-a-major-security-vulnerability-heres-what-you-need-to-know It's been confirmed and I verified it on a Macbook I have here in the lab. Yes it's locally but T2 and TPM chips(for Dell and other systems) are specifically designed to prevent local attacks.
  6. Source Looks like it's not a fixable issue and not even a firmware update will alleviate this. It does not appear that this will follow the new MAC processors.
  7. Competition is good for all markets. CPU and GPU markets have desperately needed competition. We saw that as soon as AMD had any chance of taking the performance crown magically core count and IPS started going up again. We were stuck at 4 cores for a painfully long time.
  8. Thread title explains it. We know that Intel is releasing a discrete GPU in the near future (2021) Will they get their own section in the GPU hardware area? ?
