(and other CPUs in general)

Well

I think many are in this boat

Cause upgrading from an Intel platform to another Intel platform doesn't really give alot of performance boost

Alot of people are still sitting on Sandy Bridge rigs

I looked at Intel performance gains

minimal

It was so nice to just buy old server CPUs when they got dumped

And get the most awesome H.265 encoding speed ever

It doesn't, since Intel's been focusing the majority of their R&D on ***muh optimization***

for great value

so, power efficiency

But Intel has decreased nm, consumption haven't they

I believe so

I'd also recommend AMD APU's in a heartbeat for HTPC builds though*

Lappies get most of the performance gains of Intel iterations

Yeah, can just see this comfy mini-ITX with AMD APU

But the desktop side is very bleak, and only AMD can bring a real gamechanger

But would be much more sweet with Zen/Polaris APU

If they don't, we'll sit on the same performance bubble for the next decade or so

yep

What I hope for

Is that we change architecture, and like with mobile CPUs, sees a whole bunch of companies competing

Intel did it right, so they deserve the money too

can you really compain and say hey please take back your archievements?

Well

Intel gave rise to the cheap Chink tablets

and be slower like AMD

Is to design a revolutionary mechanical exoskeleton using a networked system of electrostatic coupling to be more efficient than ever before, at a much lighter weight?

or is that just me

With their attempt to buy into the market

heh

They failed though

Dropped the Atoms

It doesn't matter for us

I really wanted a chink developer board with Atom

they sold $20 CPUs with normal arch

b..but ARM CPUs anon

Would make for a sweet dev board

We still got those 90 bucks tablets that are way more powerful than they have the right to be

And the compute sticks

I've got one, an Orange Pi PC powered with shark sdcard

NUC's, wew

Going for 60 bucks or something atm, I think

It's nice and all, bot Cortex-A7 quad-core with 1.2GHz clock running armhf

It's far from a regular desktop CPU in many ways

That's why you get a compute stick

It was $20 though

pretty cheap for things like these

well, this is /csg/

compute stick?

lol

yeah, NUC's

Board

BOARD

Well, whatever you call em

I like to call em sticks

not HDMI shit

sticks

I'd rather take something I can use a cable with

but then again even if the CPU costs $20

this will cost with mobo, RAM, PSU etc

A cable, huh?

What for?

HDMI cable

I mean, you can always get an adapter

so as it actually fits behind my TV

Man, I'm famished. Should I make ramen like the chink I am or get a cheap macdonalds burger like the western chinks my family is?

Female to female

which is mounted to the wall?

and if it plug in a sitck

Hrm

I'd make a hol in the wall for it to fit?

Modern HDMI placements are pointed towards the sides, though

But yeah, adapters

Pretty cheap

Maybe I can buy a female HDMI to male HDMI cable though

Yeah, probably

You should be able to

chinks might sell that, not seen them here

chinks sell everything

$100 is pretty expensive though

$20 much more appealing /csg/ tier

But yeah a desktop CPU costs

I found what I was looking for too

It's only 60 bucks

100 is err

Oh

It's 20 bucks for an "activated" copy of Windows 10

fuck that

enjoy the botnet

Not that anyone would run Windows on something like this, anyway

On a tablet, that would be a different thing

Cause Linux touchscreen drivers are shit

this is the shit I was thinking of

no stick

What's the advantage of that, though?
