To each their own, I think she looks alright. Just not sexy, which the OG Joanna never really was, at least to me.

The boss was always a VERY masculine, tall, strong, powerful woman who whooped Snake's ass more than once. Her new visual style isn't any different... Now, if they De-sexy Eva, well, there will be hell to pay.

agreed. From what they showed, it looks to be at least a half-decent game. Though I trust that if it isn't an immediate success Microsoft will kill the studio they created to make it.

I agree with everything you said. I do 3D rendering, I sure can use those threads! but I'm a minority. For every software dev or artist, video editor etc, there's probably 100 gamers. there are definitely other workloads that can stress or take advantage of a modern X86 the CPU, but I think...

Okay, this is looking really good. I wonder how Konami will fuck it up? It looks like they'll have their work cut out for it! My guess is rampant microtransactions introduced after reviews publish, buggy/broken release, internal drama of not paying staff or talent... There are a few options...

For the average person, not really? Gaming, as a workload, is by far the most COMMON way to utilise the peak performance of your CPU. Everything else the average person does is really just using 2nd gear on a 7 speed transmission. Driving the Lamborghini under the speed limit on state roads...

I don't think the climbing was all bad, but Eternal was WAY more linear than 2016, and offered LESS choice in how to engage with the gameplay. You went down the ONE PATH, and used the ONE GUN that the game wants you to use. It's still fun, but 2016 was so much more fresh and personal.

I don't know why X3D is a separate line. The non X3D 9000 parts are probably going to be slower than the X3D 7000 parts. Why bother? Just release the line with X3D as the 'X' and non X3D as the non-X. All in one launch. Easy.

Doom, minus Mick Gordon... I'll wait. Eternal was great, a solid 10/10, but 2016 was an 11/10 for me. This looks like more Serious Sam than either...

Joana Dark, for me, was never a sex symbol. She always seemed more like a female James Bond in the actual game. The marketing and production art did it's best to sex her up, but in the game she honestly seemed like a butch bisexual tomboy. Going the Immersive Sim / parkour route is REALLY...

Intel reminds me a bit of the Phenom I and II era AMD. Good chips, just a step behind their competition, and using way too much power. Maybe Lunar Lake is Intel's "Bulldozer Moment" 🤣 But seriously, If this brings interesting competition and a change in paradigm, I'm all about it...

So no SMT on the energy-focused mobile chips (4+4 core max). Wondering if they're going to cut SMT for the big-boy CPUs?

AMD still has a ways to go before they get to the same levels of efficiency with product rollouts and customer integration as Intel. Intel has the customer outreach programs, sales rep validation, education etc. AMD is working on it, but ultimately all of that kind of effort gets put into the...

I beat ToTK and while I enjoyed it, the framerate was a major constant bad-taste for me. Lovely game, but I can't wait to see it in UHD running at 60FPS.

That AVX512 benchmark is impressive seeing as how Zen 4 was already an AVX beast.
