lol. He has a dozen paying sponsors including Intel.
lol, honest.
Just a matter of time before somebody brought in tool #2. OY.
some people made a lot of noise in the web and most others see X299 as a failure because of that ... mostly people who had no chance to test it, say it's bad in any way
I've no idea if the hardware is bad, but the optics seem fairly hideous(imo) on socket 2066...from a marketing standpoint. Perhaps it's just because I'm an aging techie, but I can barely wrap my head around what will happen when ix-7xxx processor is inserted into xyz motherboard. It seems unnecessarily confusing with i5, i7, and i9 CPUs supported, base and boost 2.0 clock specs all over the map(never mind that there are also IPC differences as well), varying support for quad channel RAM access, and restricted PCIe lanes below the $1k mark. ...and RAID keys/dongles too? lol
Again, perhaps it's just because I'm getting old and senile, but I have trouble picturing the typical tech nerd at the local best buy attempting to describe the upgrade capabilities of the socket 2066 equipment on hand to rank and file non-techie customers without causing seizures.
