Desktop PCs - Do You Still Have Them?

[kimbon]

I suggest dynaquestpc.com . they will assemble whatever specs you need. Their ortigas branch and makati branch have plenty of parking.

I went to pcx and sobrang disappointing wala wala mga good components. I hate pcx lol.

20k budget is plenty for basic use. Dont forget the usb dongle for wifi. Hirap pabalik balik.

bro, Do they have stocks Asus mini-motherboard. AFAIK they don't have in Sucat branch, not sure though with other branches?

Ok ba yung mga mini itx? Im looking at the NUC as well. Parang better mag desk top since mas maganda mag work with a bigger screen.

Will check dynaquest also. Parang meron yata silang branch in manila if im not mistaken. Baka check ko rin sa HK in January yung mga mini ITX, baka mas mura doon

yup meron,
MANILA Branch
1581 España corner Dos Castillas Street,
Sampaloc, Manila

Bro order na lng kung wala, 2days kung meron sa ibang branch kesa dayo ka sa traffic.

Galing ng business model nila cashier and tech with large inventory. Tapos meron driver courier.

1st week jan..dating ng new inventory.

AMD's Upcoming Ryzen Chips to Reportedly Overclock * 5 GHz On Air | techPowerUp

HOLY SH!T!

[StockEngine]

Impressive! Water cooling will probably push it higher ...maybe 5.3-5.5g? I miss liquid nitrogen freezing 😥 maybe this gen doesnt have cold bugs...

How many cores will it have?

[safeorigin]

8 cores as far as I know. It's marketed as a cheaper alternative that closely shadows $1000 Intel equivalent. not only that, it consumes less power(which is unheard of in an AMD vs Intel CPU for decades!) That alone is already a very good value proposition. The only downside is dual channel memory instead of Intel's quad channel but hey, it's not like memory is relevant these days.

[jut703]

AMD is still competing based on price-point, not like in the Athlon X2 vs Pentium D days wherein nothing Intel threw could match the Athlon's clock-for-clock performance.

Of course, a low price is good for us consumers. Most of the desktops I've built in the past few years are AMD-powered because of quad-core architecture (vs i3's HT) and strong APU vs. Intel's IGP.

well, the only reason why AMD couldn't compete toe to toe was because of lack of software designed for multi threading where the bulldozer architecture shined the most. If DX12 and its ilk were released several years earlier, it would be a drastically different story and gamers would be flocking in droves to AMD's favor.

heck, I'm still waiting for HSA to be implemented in general since we're at a point where traditional CPU design is plateauing in performance gains (case in point: Intel core architecture)

thinking about it, these are one of the reasons why I love AMD hardware...

That's very blame-game thinking. It's been known for years that most workloads and games don't scale very well past 4 cores. You're saying software should adjust, while Intel focused on their clock-for-clock performance because that's what works given today's software. Guess who came out victor in that scenario.

Always work within your sphere of control. As AMD, you can't dictate the direction that software devs take, but you can set what your processor R&D will prioritize.

well, not really. even most devs themselves were complaining how serial work paths and redundant overheads of previous APIs are causing "traffic"... and it's not like Intel really got a total home run with their bet - even hyperthreading isn't working as intended in some cases and cause input lag. asynchronous compute and barebones API are godsend if you know what I mean...

but then I'm just looking at the limitations and barriers of sticking to traditional means of compute. someone has to think outside the box even if it's a hit or miss...

glad I held back on purchasing GPUs. really excited for vega!

well even if you saturate all the cores of the bulldozer e.g. handbrake it still didn't perform as well as an intel. IPC was low coz the design wasn't as sophisticated. but zen should change that

i've been avoiding intels all these years, in fact my current desktop is still phenom x4 w/ an additional core unlocked and OC'ed to 4ghz water-cooled. i turn it on like every 2 months can't wait to get a ryzen

Even if HT doesn't match real cores in multithreaded workloads, the i3 still comes out faster than the A6/A8 in most applications. Same case with the i5 vs FX. The i7 is totally unmatched by anything from AMD.

Hoping Ryzen can change that, but early bench's show that it's just catching up rather than overtaking Intel.

not necessarily the case in DX12 where core count scales well.

in fact, you'd be very shocked how the tables turn when you play games and stream at the same time...



but sure, it's from 4 years ago.

B55 ba yan aka Tuna processor. 2010 ganyan cpu ko, upgraded to 2500k then 4790k.

is dynaquestpc.com also repairs desktop PCs as well?

Not sure bro. Call their makati branch fewer ang customers.

Ano pala symptoms ng pc problem?

so far wala naman, pero in past, problema niya yung memory card. and it's an old one already (Acer desktop PC siya, napalitan na ng new CPU casing nung pinarepair namin siya)

[safeorigin]

have you tried wiping the memory metal contacts with cloth?
