    Please help me decide - Ryzen 7000 or Raptor Lake for productivity

    Thanks for all the replies, everyone. If I can hold out I'll wait for the reviews of the Raptor Lake CPU's. Z790 mobo prices seem even more crazy than the AM5 ones though.

    Please help me decide - Ryzen 7000 or Raptor Lake for productivity

    Hi all, I have no interest in gaming any more - I use my desktop for work and do a bit of software development. I have been holding out for the Ryzen 7000 but have also seen the Intel 13th Gen processors on pre order. Mobo prices for Z690 seem a bit more reasonable and I'm not sure I would...

    *** AMD "Zen 4" thread (inc AM5/APU discussion) ***

    I'll preface this by stating I have zero interest in gaming: Do we think the iGPU on the Ryzen 7000 will be enough to provide a decent desktop experience on multiple 4k monitors? From what I've seen some AM5 motherboards will technically have the necessary I/O for it. but wondering if I should...

    How distracting is auto-dimming on modern OLEDs?

    Preamble: I do not want to disable this feature in the service menu due to warranty concerns. When I got my C7 panel replaced, the person did check the service menu at the time. I'm looking to get a C1 65" and I've seen videos/posts mentioning the auto-dimming feature when viewing HDR content...

    Hesitant with another OLED - Should I go with QLED?

    Hi all, I'm going to relocate my current TV (LG OLED C7V) into another room and therefore need a suitable replacement. I also have an Xbox series X that I want to use on whichever TV I get next. Here's my dilemma, my C7 has a small amount of burn-in, which by the position and size I assume is...

    5700G now, or wait for the 7000 series?

    Correct, but the 7000 series will all feature an integrated GPU, therefore I don't necessarily need the next gen APU My current PC is becoming a bit unstable, it's not urgent, but It's something I've been looking at for a while

    5700G now, or wait for the 7000 series?

    Hi all, I mainly use my desktop for working/coding and occasional video encoding + decoding. I also use Linux as a daily driver and therefore looking into AMD products for better support. Plus, I want to swap out my current old gaming rig (I don't game anymore) with something smaller, quieter...

    G9 / G9 Neo / Something Else?

    Hi, I'm in the market for an ultrawide. I currently have two 27" monitors, one 1440p/144hz the other 1080p/60hz. Main use case will be productivity. I hear mixed things about the g9, but also there's a newer version coming out aka "neo". The g9 is about right in terms of size and features, but...

    ARC/CEC Issues

    Hi all, I have a LG OLED TV leveraging ARC into my AV/Receiver (Yamaha RXV383) which also has my Sky Q plugged in. The Sky Remote is configured to send commands to my TV. I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but I experience some odd behaviour - hoping someone can clarify. 1. I have to turn...

    Premium bonds? Worth it?

    Examples? Are they also instant access like PB? Can you put as much in those accounts as PB?

    Premium bonds? Worth it?

    My Premium bonds account has returned more money than what I would have got with a standard cash ISA. Those saying "no" - Why?

    Kärcher Pressure Washer

    Has anyone used one of these to wash their cars? Tempted to get one for other non-car related cleaning tasks, but I hear people have used them for car washing as well. Common points are to *not* to use the brush handle to agitate heavy dirt because of scratches. Cheers
