Think the wireless adaptor for the xbox series controller died in less than a month.

can you use bluetooth instead?
i have also had bad times with those
someone made an 850w beating the current 750w but itās only 80plus gold rather than plat, seems like kind of a gimmick for what youād fit up against it

okay, admittedly, Intel was double dipping because Celeron and Pentium have both been relegated to describing budget CPU lines and exclusively used the Core moniker for anything with performance, even though the past few generations have been 12-15 CPUs deep across the pricing and performance spectrum
but calling your budget line Intel Processors is just fucking asking for it

Iām just saying that no self-respecting copy writer came up with that, that has Interference From C Suite written all over it

well, at least now I know if I ever talk with a sales guy from Intel to never trust them if they say the phrase ātop of the line intel processorā

similar to how the PS5 scalpers will fade away after a year or so, right?
peeking on ebay ā¦ guess what, that didnāt happen 
letās see whether the quote from the small farmer at the end is an indication of whatāll happen, i.e. they will hold on to their rigs and prices will stall at a still-too-high-MRSPish region, instead of bargain bin feaver dream levels people seem to hope for.

Dunno what the end-result will be, but the last time calls came out that GPU prices were dropping, they really did. So itās not out of the realm of possibility.
Having said that, Iāve been told that NVIDIA already said they would be artificially managing supply to maintain prices, soā¦ woooā¦

iām still on an 8, maybe iāll upgrade??
confirmed 4090 goes up to ~90 TFLOPs which means 4080 should be 50-60, adds out of order shader execution which is a fun new thing I hadnāt even thought of, is officially 4nm (which really means an optimized 5nm process, but still good) reportedly doubles ray tracing efficiency on top of the existing performance doubling, but expensive ā the 4080 12GB is $900, which means the 16GB (which is about as powerful as you can go in 2 slots) will probably be like $1100.
no 4070 for now, theyāre keeping the rest of the 3000 series around for a while. 4080 is definitely, definitely good enough for me to upgrade to, but likeā¦ sometime next year, who knows when.

itād be ~twice as fast in single-threaded compute i.e. javascript i.e. web/everything
I want usb-c on the things. hopefully euro regulators spook them enough to do it standard
Iām on an X (same generation as an 8) and itās not really feeling slow after a battery replacement last year (though it throttles pretty bad in summer heat) but I think Iāll probably get the 15 Pro next year, since 6 years feels about long enough to go without expecting devs to no longer care about me
itās so funny seeing all these new Nvidia presentations and every time thinking āwell, you know, not really into self-driving cars or crypto, but I do just love a big ol GPUā
oh and they have AV1 encode of course, couldnāt miss that this year, not sure about DP 2.0
