Nice, AMD seems to be doing the thing Intel used to do where they hold back their newest tech until Intel gets close and then cold clocks them out of nowhere.
Yes, well, I won’t be able to afford that so can I have the turbo button back please
That one made CPUs run at a lower clock speed so that older games would run.
On the case we had, it also (or perhaps only) made the fans run faster, which was hilarious.
Were fans even all that common on cases back then? I had a 486 clocked at 100 MHz that only needed the tiniest passive heat spreader - and this was years after turbo buttons were a thing.
Perhaps the greatest misnomer in computing history.
I’m still salty about the Geforce 4 MX (which was just a slightly modified 2 MX, with none of the features of the newer 4-series), although that’s more of a case of false marketing.
So, uh, relatively inefficient?
he gets it
they extented produktion of Zen 5 to 2029
Woo can’t wait to not be able to afford it
Together with unaffordable RAM.
I just checked and I paid $165 for 64 GB of DDR5 in December of 2024. I doubt I’ll ever see those prices again.
Please don’t remind me — I paid $700 for 64GB of DDR5 😭
Ouch. Better than most prices I’ve seen lately though
Maybe when inflation has gone up?
And unaffordable motherboard with only a few ports.
And unaffordable drives
If the new platforms switch to DDR6, can I get some DDR5 at just 2x of the original price, not 4x?
