But are they combustible so I can burn life’s house down with them?

Can it run Crysis? Only if you already bought it.

This is what I would always think of using that quick chat

Old Snow Day my beloved, how I miss thee

Also, the account is named after the website they’re linking to. While it’s possible this was just posted by a genuinely uncreative person who made an account for the sole purpose of asking this question (which also doesn’t fit this sub), this is almost certainly just extremely poorly disguised astroturfing (maybe that’s not the right use of the term astroturfing but either way, it’s self promotion that’s pretending it isn’t).

Cuz it’s not actually possible to do (as explained in the video), but if you could then shenanigans ensue

Siiiick!

Memetics is a theory of the evolution of culture based on Darwinian principles with the meme as the unit of culture. The term “meme” was coined by biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, to illustrate the principle that he later called “Universal Darwinism”.
…
Richard Dawkins (1976) apparently coined the word meme independently of Semon, writing this:
“‘Mimeme’ comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like ‘gene’. I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to ‘memory’, or to the French word même.”

Analysis based on GN benchmarks
It appears to basically be a downclocked 5600X3D, so the 5500X3D will definitely fall short of the performance of AM5 X3D CPUs, given that the weakest of that bunch, the 7600X3D, outperforms the 5600X3D from 3-12% in gaming and 12-24% in productivity.

The amount of downclocking is pretty similar to that of the 5700X3D vs the 5800X3D, so if the 5500X3D is similarly affected compared to the 5600X3D, it would be expected to be anywhere from 6-11% worse in gaming and 4-8% worse in productivity.

So then, using the averages of those ranges, the 7600X3D would outperform our assumed 5500X3D on average by about 16.6% in gaming and 25% in productivity. Beyond that you’ve also got the 7800X3D and 9800X3D which would further improve performance (or the Ryzen 9 X3D chips but those aren’t as popular).

While pricing seems unknown for now, I think if you’re determined to remain on AM4, I would just spend the extra for a 5700X3D, especially if you can find it on a sale, and get the most out of that AM4 that you can now for the rest of its life. But if you can budget a full platform upgrade with new mobo and DDR5 RAM, the 7800X3D seems to be coming back down in price, although not quite as cheap as it was Q4 2023 up to mid 2024.

Me jumping on dock posts praying that Altair doesn’t decide to do a sudden 90 degree turn into death water:

The year is 2062. Flying cars are finally real, true AI has enabled fully automated luxury gay space communism, and AMD announces the 59765X4D for AM4, compatible with 300 series chipset and higher motherboards with a BIOS update.

On top of that, the last 3 I’d say were never really PC specific to begin with.

I thought about that, but I felt it more apt that we’re playing a different game entirely. I also thought about saying we’re just the board that the real pieces are marching on top of in their power struggles.

So, did they actually get ports to non-PC consoles, or did console-form-factor PCs just become more prevalent?

Why? Isn’t it pretty much random and unfair by design? Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?

skill issue tbh
