    magbarn replied to the thread News Nintendo Switch 2 units allegedly overheating — users report issues while playing Cyberpunk 2077 and less power-hungry games.

    That's what Nintendo gets for using a 7 year old Samsung 8nm node that already held back Ampere. Guess Nvidia still had a lot of wasted...

    magbarn replied to the thread I swapped out my laptop's Wi-Fi 6E card for Wi-Fi 7 in minutes and gained 50% more performance for just $54 — here's how you can, too.

    Dump the employees and pump up the stock. This is why the board fired Gelsinger. Typical short term American “Jack Welch” line of...

    magbarn replied to the thread News The U.S. Navy is selling MSRP Nvidia RTX GPUs — 5070, 5080, and even 5090 spotted at Navy Exchange.

    magbarn replied to the thread News Lenovo's new Legion 9i gaming laptop sports an 18-inch dual-mode 3D display and flagship specs.

    Power requirements aside, isn't the "Flagship CPU" 275HX in this overpriced thing slower in gaming than the 14900HX?

    magbarn replied to the thread News RTX 5060 reviews are reportedly in jeopardy — Nvidia allegedly withholding pre-release drivers from reviewers.

    Ah, the old taking time to "polish the turd" routine. It's not like it's the first Blackwell release.

    magbarn replied to the thread News Nintendo Switch 2's SoC die shot reveals 8x A78C cores, 1,536 Ampere shaders, and Samsung's 8N process.

    Samsung 8N? The big N must've gotten a sweet discount to use an outdated process from half a decade ago. N4P would've given 2x the...

    magbarn replied to the thread News TP-Link under DOJ investigation for alleged predatory pricing practices and national security concerns.
