ENTERPRISE

It is possible some performance can be clawed back once AMD gets it together with their software and works with Microsoft on OS to CPU behaviour. I think it will be worth media outlets rechecking benchmarks once the dust settles.

Source Note...You can only achieve this through command line. They are still enforcing the limit through the GUI. Why go half way lol.

Hello all. For the sake of transparency and to avoid possible confusion I wanted to announce that I have imposed an edit limit on content of 30 days (This grace period may change as required). This means that from the date of a post, you have 30 days to make edits. This will not affect the vast majority of users. That being said, for long running topics or clubs whereby the first post is usually updated, we can unlock specific topics to allow updating in those instances. The reason for the introduction of this limitation is to protect the integrity of content. In reality this sort of limitation is pretty standard across most internet communities, however until now, I was not happy with the prior way of implementing the limitation as there was no way to unlock specific topics which would have created an impossible situation for users to maintain clubs or topics where the first post is continually updated. Fortunately this is no longer an issue. For those who are needing to update a topic and have found that it cannot be edited, please send me a PM and I can allow it to be edited. Thanks all, E

Hello all, We will soon be updating our Rig Creator whereby you will have price fields next to each inputted component in your rig. All prices input on components will be automatically added together to form a total rig cost. So for accurate rig pricing, we encourage people fill out the prices where possible In order to carry out the changes, the current field used in your Rig Creator profiles "Rig Price" will be removed upon upgrade. As such any price input prior, will be lost forever. If you would like to record your rig prices, please take a backup. Many thanks, E

How many times have we been here before lol. Something mentions an element related to HL in code or other document and everyone goes OMG HALF LIFE 3. I mean if true, I certainly would not be mad, but colour me a sceptic for now.

This was great coverage and confirmed my suspicions as well. ZEN 5 is nothing more than a ZEN 4 refresh and certainly not worth upgrading to if you are on Zen 4 already. I had not planned an upgrade for my 7950X 3D anyway as it still chugs very nicely. Fingers crossed ZEN 6 will offer something more meaningful. AMD sort of bungled this one. If Zen 5 was as good as the other generational uplifts/better then they really would have put the hurt on Intel. Intel actually caught a break with AMD's fumble.

Not sure on that one. Have you tried a different BIOS to see if that behaviour is possibly a bug in a newer/older BIOS?

Yowzer. They had to see this coming though. Frankly this is wjat happens when you are covering something up. If they had been up front about the issue in 2022 the pain for all concerned would be much less.

I watched GN and LTT review coverage and while I knew I would not be blown away by performance, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Power/Thermal savings on this new generation, very impressive. I wonder what the refresh would like or what the X3D variants will look like. Still likely to skip this gen unless the X3D is particularly exciting.

Single generational changes do not tend to lead the meaningful real world gains anyway. I wasn't looking to upgrade as I reckon the next generation after the 9000 series will make more sense.

Oh right, I thought it was your own personal router, but yeah I can see how that would be a problem.

Mod it with a fan!

I for one hope they don't consider their dedicated GPU division as "bloat". We need GPU competition and they have made great progress with Arc. Would be a shame if they scrap it

Source Tough times for Intel it seems.

Nice catch. I have correctd the typo...two of us missed that somehow lol.

**Update** So after having the Deco units setup for a little while I can attest that the performance is excellent on the Wifi and I am getting 910Mbps Down & 886Mbps Up, on my laptop. So I am very pleased with the speeds I am getting. The mesh on the Deco also seems consistent and stable as I have not had any drops or outages and roaming around the house is seamless and there is no disruption that I can see when your device is handed over from one mesh node to another. However there is some alarming downsides to these units that you will only discover upon purchase as it is not made clear on the product page, nor was it really bought up in the reviews. 1. In order to setup the devices you are forced to create a cloud account with TP Link. Yes that's right...You can do NOTHING with these units until you are signed up. Furthermore, there is likely usage statistics data sent back to TP Link. 2. Setup and management of the units are done through the phone app ONLY. See point 3 for more detail. 3. The Web UI is completely gimped offering only the very basics in router/AP management as TP Link have decided to force users to use the phone app. So if you are expecting to have a full web UI management experience with the Deco series, it isn't going to happen and furthermore the phone app while certainly offers most things are missing some features you would inherently expect including but not limited to things such as Backup/Restore, MAC whitelisting, Manual Wifi Channel Selection. Granted, they are actively adding new features to the app, so hopefully in time these will be included. There (rightly) is a large complaint thread on the TP Link Forums from hundreds of users demanding a proper Web UI interface as there a multitude of reasons why management via a phone app is untenable. I also posted my concerns. Unfortunately it is TP Links stance that irrespective of consumers complaints they are going to stay the course with the phone app...which is complete madness. You can see my complaint as posted below. So in summary, these are excellent devices so far as the hardware and the speeds achieved and when used in AP mode, the lack of a Web UI is not a killer issue, hence why I have decided to keep them. However in router mode I could see that managing these devices would be an absolute nightmare. Can I really recommend these to others, realistically no...for all the reasons above and per my post on the TP Link forums.

Thanks for the Intel...pun intended. I for one cannot believe that they are not giving you a fresh warranty with the replacement CPU's, that seems out of order in general but especially considering the issues Intel have had with these CPU'S. Out of good faith they should be offering everyone affected a full new warranty.
