tldr: intel tries to hide again behind absurd % numbers and not solid proof ... gets told .. OH and totaly faulty test

INTEL WINS AGAIN

im glad theyre chokehold on the market is over

hope AMD doesnt follow their footsteps

their*

hope AMD doesnt follow they're footsteps

😉

the CPU business is a doggy dog world out there

too many people put intel on a petal stool and if AMD ever tries to follow they're foot stops, lets us say what comes around is all around.

it does

Buying the jbl tune 120 tws tomorrow for 60€.

Good or bad deal?

any plex users here ?

what settings do I use to get the best quality

what settings

I mean for video quality there is literally a setting that has maximum quality <:thinkturt:498925089224654859>

So I guess just go with your gut?

If you need to transcode then I suppose select high quality, unless your server is weak

idk how plex works exactly because I stopped using it long ago in favor of jellyfin

but the settings that matter are on the client

the first one is only used as a default for external (outside LAN) connections

the second one is usually not even used because you want to stream original files

IIRC the transcoding is used in case for whatever reason the client device can't play the original format too

_Which shouldn't ever really happen these days lel_

that's why i said the settings that matter are on the client

there's 9900 xeon versions on tao right now, e2278g and e2288g, both turboboost to 5ghz.

NOOO INTEL BROS

at what point do you cross from the threadripper environment into milan/eypc idgi

2S+ / higher than 32 core requirements

are modern games really sufficently parallelized to see benefit from this many cores? what about desktop performance? last time I saw real benefit for desktop/development use was when I switched to SSDs. It's always nice to have files decompress faster, and intense encoding and the like go faster (but sometimes these things only run on one processor), but it doesn't compare to the bang-for-buck I got from going from HDD to SSD...
