Follow the Reddit Content Policy	You can find it here. TL;DR: If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all. Insults and personal attacks aren't welcome here.
Post should be about hardware	Posts should be about hardware news, reviews, technical discussion or how-tos and buyers guides.
No editorializing titles	Please use the "suggest title" button for link submissions, or copy the title of the original link. Do NOT editorialize the title of the submission; (minor) changes for clarity may be acceptable if the original title is clickbait, or failed to summarize its actual content.

Why is this sub so forgiving of AMD's shadiness but not Intel's?

They extended warranties, handed out RMA's and released a fix. Maybe they could have done things faster but it seems like they did their best in a shitty situation. No sensible person would think a company would do this on purpose.

YET

AMD put out a subpar product that does EXACTLY what made Intel so hated (minimal upgrade + bigger pricetag) and marketed them incorrectly but everyone here is so forgiving

I'm not into Tech as much but why are threads so one sided in here?

EDIT: I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people in this sub have built up stories in their heads. Some sort of "good vs evil" shit. Delusional and blind love into any company is dumb. Be better.

Perf uplift of the Ryzen WIN update is on average no more than 2.7% in gaming - benchmark by the Quasarzone

Two notable uplifts were measured in Cyberpunk and Lies of P.

Is something wrong with Micro USBs?

a handful of electronics ive owned over the years have used micro usb charging ports but all three of them, microphone, headphones, and hearing aid charger, all seem to be a little faulty and the cable only works at certain angles. what gives? is this a common problem with micro usbs or have i just gotten quite unlucky?

Fascinating test of CCD1 and CCD0 on 7950x3D

I have done a test, showing differences in using different CCD during gaming in Red Dead Redemption 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ezPiM4-1Nw&t=481s

FPS left to right: Current FPS, Average FPS, 1% lows, 0.1% lows

I found it completely fascinating for the following reasons:

Running All Cores (even with Preferred Cache in BIOS) in this and some other games creates extremely smooth experience.
Turning off Hyperthreading on CCD1 and CCD0 stabilizes experience even further
Running just 3D Cache CCD0 with Hyperthreading ON causes some stutters (not seen too much in this benchmark, but experienced many times during regular gameplay)
Turning off Hyperthreading on CCD0 while using CCD0 only, then turning off CCD1 (non-3D) cores completely allows amazingly smooth experience
Turning off CCD0 (3D cache side) and playing on CCD1 (non-3D) with Hyperthreading OFF will allow amazing experience in smoothness, that includes Averages and 0.1% lows.
Turning on Hyperthreading while playing only on CCD1 (non-3D) causes massive stutters and nearly starts to break the game code.
You can select Hyperthreading Cores on CCD0 (3D Cache) only, and turn off main cores, and the game will run nearly identical on Hyperthreading Cores only compared to main cores 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14.
Logic 7 applies to running on CCD1 (non-3D) where you use only Hyperthreading cores on non-3D CCD, and turning off CCD0 (3D Cache)

Hyperthreading is not good in most games I have tested, but it is okay if you allow all cores to work in many games I tried.

Having HT OFF works best in all scenarios.

OR Turning off the other part of that core that mirrors the Hyperthreading.

Games like Insurgency Sandstorm like all cores working, but the game is not a fan of Hyperthreading as well. Seems pretty consistent.
