Retail cards still suffer from the issue
In our review of AMD's latest flagship graphics card, the Radeon R9 Fury X, I noticed and commented on the unique sound that the card was producing during our testing. A high pitched whine, emanating from the pump of the self-contained water cooler designed by Cooler Master, was obvious from the moment our test system was powered on and remained constant during use. I talked with a couple of other reviewers about the issue before the launch of the card and it seemed that I wasn't alone. Looking around other reviews of the Fury X, most make mention of this squeal specifically.
Noise from graphics cards come in many forms. There is the most obvious and common noise from on-board fans and the air it moves. Less frequently, but distinctly, the sound of inductor coil whine comes up. Fan noise spikes when the GPU gets hot, causing the fans to need to spin faster and move more air across the heatsink, which keeps everything running cool. Coil whine changes pitch based on the frame rate (and the frequency of power delivery on the card) and can be alleviated by using higher quality components on the board itself.
But the sound of our Fury X was unique: it was caused by the pump itself and it was constant. The noise it produced did not change as the load on the GPU varied. It was also 'pitchy' - a whine that seemed to pierce through other sounds in the office. A close analog might be the sound of an older, CRT TV or monitor that is left powered on without input.
In our review process, AMD told us the solution was fixed. In an email sent to the media just prior to the Fury X launch, an AMD rep stated:
In regards to the "pump whine", AMD received feedback that during open bench testing some cards emit a mild "whining" noise. This is normal for most high speed liquid cooling pumps; Usually the end user cannot hear the noise as the pumps are installed in the chassis, and the radiator fan is louder than the pump. Since the AMD Radeon™ R9 Fury X radiator fan is near silent, this pump noise is more noticeable.
The issue is limited to a very small batch of initial production samples and we have worked with the manufacturer to improve the acoustic profile of the pump. This problem has been resolved and a fix added to production parts and is not an issue.
I would disagree that this is "normal" but even so, taking AMD at its word, I wrote that we heard the noise but also that AMD had claimed to have addressed it. Other reviewers noted the same comment from AMD, saying the result was fixed. But very quickly after launch some users were posting videos on YouTube and on forums with the same (or worse) sounds and noise. We had already started bringing in a pair of additional Fury X retail cards from Newegg in order to do some performance testing, so it seemed like a logical next step for us to test these retail cards in terms of pump noise as well.
First, let's get the bad news out of the way: both of the retail AMD Radeon R9 Fury X cards that arrived in our offices exhibit 'worse' noise, in the form of both whining and buzzing, compared to our review sample. In this write up, I'll attempt to showcase the noise profile of the three Fury X cards in our possession, as well as how they compare to the Radeon R9 295X2 (another water cooled card) and the GeForce GTX 980 Ti reference design - added for comparison.

Introduction and Test Hardware
The PC gaming world has become divided by two distinct types of games: those that were designed and programmed specifically for the PC, and console ports. Unfortunately for PC gamers it seems that far too many titles are simply ported over (or at least optimized for consoles first) these days, and while PC users can usually enjoy higher detail levels and unlocked frame rates there is now the issue of processor core-count to consider. This may seem artificial, but in recent months quite a few games have been released that require at least a quad-core CPU to even run (without modifying the game).
One possible explanation for this is current console hardware: PS4 and Xbox One systems are based on multi-core AMD APUs (the 8-core AMD "Jaguar"). While a quad-core (or higher) processor might not be techincally required to run current games on PCs, the fact that these exist on consoles might help to explain quad-core CPU as a minimum spec. This trend could simply be the result of current x86 console hardware, as developement of console versions of games is often prioritized (and porting has become common for development of PC versions of games). So it is that popular dual-core processors like the $69 Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition (G3258) are suddenly less viable for a future-proofed gaming build. While hacking these games might make dual-core CPUs work, and might be the only way to get such a game to even load as the CPU is checked at launch, this is obviously far from ideal.
Is this much CPU really necessary?
Rather than rail against this quad-core trend and question its necessity, I decided instead to see just how much of a difference the processor alone might make with some game benchmarks. This quickly escalated into more and more system configurations as I accumulated parts, eventually arriving at 36 different configurations at various price points. Yeah, I said 36. (Remember that Budget Gaming Shootout article from last year? It's bigger than that!) Some of the charts that follow are really long (you've been warned), and there's a lot of information to parse here. I wanted this to be as fair as possible, so there is a theme to the component selection. I started with three processors each (low, mid, and high price) from AMD and Intel, and then three graphics cards (again, low, mid, and high price) from AMD and NVIDIA.
Here's the component rundown with current pricing*:
Processors tested:
- AMD Athlon X4 860K - $74.99
- AMD FX 9590 (with AIO cooler) - $259.99
- Intel Core i3-4130 - $118
- Intel Core i5-4440 - $184.29
- Intel Core i7-4790K - $338.99
Graphics cards tested:
- AMD Radeon R7 260X (ASUS 2GB OC) - $137.24
- AMD Radeon R9 280 (Sapphire Dual-X) - $169.99
- AMD Radeon R9 290X (MSI Lightning) - $399
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (OEM) - $149.99
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 (OEM) - $235
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (ASUS STRIX) - $519
*These prices were current as of 6/29/15, and of course fluctuate.

New AMD Fury X Pumps May Reduce Noise Levels
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 2, 2015 - 02:03 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, radeon, fury x, pump whine
According to a couple of users from the Anandtech forums and others, there is another wave of AMD Fury X cards making their way out into the world. Opening up the top of the Fury X card to reveal the Cooler Master built water cooler pump, there are two different configurations in circulation. One has a teal and white Cooler Master sticker, the second one has a shiny CM logo embossed on it.
This is apparently a different pump implementation than we have seen thus far.
You might have read our recent story looking at the review sample as well as two retail purchased Fury X cards where we discovered that the initial pump whine and noise that AMD claimed would be gone, in fact remained to pester gamers. As it turns out, all three of our cards have the teal/white CM logo.
Our three Fury X cards have the same sticker on them.
Based on at least a couple of user reports, this different pump variation does not have the same level of pump whine that we have seen to date. If that's the case, it's great news - AMD has started pushing out Fury X cards to the retail market that don't whine and squeal!
If this sticker/label difference is in fact the indicator for a newer, quieter pump, it does leave us with a few questions. Do current Fury X owners with louder coolers get to exchange them through RMA? Is it possible that these new pump decals are not indicative of a total pump change over and this is just chance? I have asked AMD for details on this new information already, and in fact have been asking for AMD's input on the issue since the day of retail release. So far, no one has wanted to comment on it publicly or offer me any direction as to what is changing and when.
I hope for the gamers' sake that this new pump sticker somehow will be the tell-tale sign that you have a changed cooler implementation. Unfortunately for now, the only way to know if you are buying one of these is to install it in your system and listen or to wait for it to arrive and take the lid off the Fury X. (It's a Hex 1.5 screw by the way.)
Though our budget is more than slightly stretched, I'm keeping an eye out for more Fury X cards to show up for sale to get some more random samples in-house!
Report: AMD Radeon Fury Specs and Photos Leaked
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 7, 2015 - 11:59 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: Radeon Fury, radeon, HBM1, amd
As reported by VideoCardz.com the upcoming Radeon Fury card specs have been leaked (and confirmed, according to the report), and the air-cooled card is said to have 8 fewer compute units enabled and a slightly slower core clock.
The report pictures a pair of Sapphire cards, both using the Tri-X triple-fan air cooler. The first is a reference-clocked version which will be 1000 MHz (50 Hz slower than the Fury X), and an overclocked version at 1040 MHz. And what of the rest of the specs? VideoCardz has created this table:
The total number of compute units is 56 (8 fewer than the Fury X), which at 64 stream cores per unit results in 3584 for the non-X GPU. TMU count drops to 224, and HBM1 memory speed is unchanged at 1000 MHz effective. VideoCardz is listing the ROP count at an unchanged 64, but this (along with the rest of the report, of course) has not been officially announced.
The board will apparently be identical to the reference Fury X
Retail price on this card had been announced by AMD as $549, and with the modest reduction in specs (and hopefully some overclocking headroom) this could be an attractive option to compete with the GTX 980, though it will probably need to beat the 980's performance or at least match its $500 price to be relevant in the current market. With these specs it looks like it will only be slightly behind the Fury X so pricing shouldn't be much of an issue for AMD just yet.
Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
Where are all the 2TB SSDs? It's a question we've been hearing since they started to go mainstream seven years ago. While we have seen a few come along on the enterprise side as far back as 2011, those were prohibitively large, expensive, and out of reach of most consumers. Part of the problem initially was one of packaging. Flash dies simply were not of sufficient data capacity (and could not be stacked in sufficient quantities) as to reach 2TB in a consumer friendly form factor. We have been getting close lately, with many consumer focused 2.5" SATA products reaching 1TB, but things stagnated there for a bit. Samsung launched their 850 EVO and Pro in capacities up to 1TB, with plenty of additional space inside the 2.5" housing, so it stood to reason that the packaging limit was no longer an issue, so why did they keep waiting?
The first answer is one of market demand. When SSDs were pushing $1/GB, the thought of a 2TB SSD was great right up to the point where you did the math and realized it would cost more than a typical enthusiast-grade PC. That was just a tough pill to swallow, and market projections showed it would take more work to produce and market the additional SKU than it would make back in profits.
The second answer is one of horsepower. No, this isn't so much a car analogy as it is simple physics. 1TB SSDs had previously been pushing the limits of controller capabilities of flash and RAM addressing, as well as handling Flash Translation Layer lookups as well as garbage collection and other duties. This means that doubling a given model SSD capacity is not as simple as doubling the amount of flash attached to the controller - that controller must be able to effectively handle twice the load.
With all of that said, it looks like we can finally stop asking for those 2TB consumer SSDs, because Samsung has decided to be the first to push into this space:
Today we will take a look at the freshly launched 2TB version of the Samsung 850 EVO and 850 Pro. We will put these through the same tests performed on the smaller capacity models. Our hope is to verify that the necessary changes Samsung made to the controller are sufficient to keep performance scaling or at least on-par with the 1TB and smaller models of the same product lines.
AMD Projects Decreased Revenue by 8% for Q2 2015
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | July 7, 2015 - 08:00 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: earnings, amd
The projections for AMD's second fiscal quarter had revenue somewhere between flat and down 6%. The actual estimate, as of July 6th, is actually below the entire range. They expect that revenue is down 8% from the previous quarter, rather than the aforementioned 0 to 6%. This is attributed to weaker APU sales in OEM devices, but they also claim that channel sales are in line with projections.
This is disappointing news for fans of AMD, of course. The next two quarters will be more telling though. Q3 will count two of the launch months for Windows 10, which will likely include a bunch of new and interesting devices and aligns well with back to school season. We then get one more chance at a pleasant surprise in the fourth quarter and its holiday season, too. My intuition is that it won't be too much better than however Q3 ends up.
One extra note: AMD has also announced a "one-time charge" of $33 million USD related to a change in product roadmap. Rather than releasing designs at 20nm, they have scrapped those plans and will architect them for "the leading-edge FinFET node". This might be a small expense compared to how much smaller the process technology will become. Intel is at 14nm and will likely be there for some time. Now AMD doesn't need to wait around at 20nm in the same duration.

Samsung is extending their 850 EVO and Pro lineups to include 2TB versions of the popular SSDs thanks to the use of 3D-VNAND; three bit memory on the EVO and two bit on the Pro. They are rated at the same speeds as their 500GB and above counterparts and The SSD Review had a chance to test that. Interestingly they did indeed find performance differences between the 1TB and 2TB model of the same design, which you can check out in the full review. Their results were not quite the same as Al's review which was just posted, you should compare the two reviews as well as the systems used for theories on why that is. You can expect to pay ~$1000 for the 850 Pro 2TB and ~$800 for the 850 EVO 2TB.
"If you look back over the past several years, there have always been three constants that needed to be addressed in order for SSDs to become a viable consumer solution to storage; value, reliability and capacity. One of our first SSD reviews was on an MTron 32GB SSD with a whopping price tag of more than $1500…and they sold!"

Introduction and Technical Specifications
In our previous article here, we demonstrated how to mod the EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 video card to get higher performance and significantly lower running temps. Now we decided to take two of these custom modded EVGA GTX 970 cards to see how well they perform in an SLI configuration. ASUS was kind enough to supply us with one of their newly introduced ROG Enthusiast SLI Bridges for our experiments.

Overclocking the R9 390X

Tagged: amd, r9 390x, overclocking
Now that [H]ard|OCP has had more time to spend with the new R9 390X they have managed to find the overclocks that they are most comfortable running on the card they used to test. They used MSI Afterburner 4.1.1 and first overclocked the card without changing voltages at all, which netted them 1150MHz core and 6.6GHz effective on the RAM. From there they started to raise to Core Voltage, eventually settling on +50 as settings higher than that resulted in lower maximum observed voltages due to the TDP being reached and the card throttling back. With that voltage setting they could get the card to run at 1180MHz, with the memory speed remaining at 6.6GHz as it is not effected by the core voltage settings, with the fan speed set 80% they saw a consistent 67C GPU temperature. How much impact did that have on performance and could it push the card's performance beyond an overclocked GTX 980? Read the full review to find out in detail.
"We take the new MSI Radeon R9 390X GAMING 8G video card and overclock it to it fullest and compare it with an overclocked GeForce GTX 980 at 1440p and 4K in today's latest games.

Last week Scott shared all that we can find out about Kaby Lake, Intel's asynchronous Tock between Skylake and Cannonlake. Don't hold your breath for their release, nor for Cannonlake if DigiTimes sources are accurate. If true, consumers will not see Kaby Lake for at least a year with enterprise waiting even longer which will push back the scheduled release of notebooks and PCs using the processors likely not showing up for a month or so afterwards. Skylake should be finally appearing in time for Fall and in theory products using it should be available at that time as Skylake's delay was the initial cause of these delays. As for Cannonlake; it is going to be a while.
"Following the delay of Skylake processors, Intel's next-generation Kaby Lake processors, which were originally scheduled for early 2016, reportedly will be pushed back until September 2016 for the consumer version and January 2017 for the enterprise one."

My Take on July 29th Reservations
Subject: General Tech | July 5, 2015 - 06:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 10, microsoft
A couple of days ago, Paul Thurrott wrote an editorial about Microsoft's Windows 10 reservation system. His point was that, while Microsoft claimed users of Windows 7 or 8.1 could upgrade on July 29th, they might not get it until later. Upgrades will start rolling out on the 29th of July, but the actual queue is expected to take several days. According to Microsoft's blog post, which shows blatant disrespect for the Oxford Comma, "Each day of the roll-out, we will listen, learn and update the experience for all Windows 10 users."
Paul linked this backtrack to an episode of Seinfeld, one where Jerry reserves a rental car; his reservation was held, but a car was not. He stated that the availability date was clearly stated as July 29th, and not everyone will get it then. I can see his point, and I agree with it. Microsoft really should provide what they claim on the date that they claim it.
On the other hand, it is possible that Microsoft saw the whole reservation system as reserving your spot in line. That is, it might be that upgrade requests will be processed in reservation order, at least mostly, when devices are available. I imagine a "take a number" system where slots will be assigned for anyone below a threshold that increases as upgrades are fulfilled. Again, this is hypothetical, but I cannot really see any other reason for a reservation system in the first place, apart from pure marketing.
Either way, some may need to wait until after July 29th to experience Windows 10, and Microsoft botched their announcement.
OnePlus 2 Has Been Rolling Out Announcements Slowly

OnePlus is a Chinese smartphone company founded by Pete Lau, formerly the Vice President at Oppo. Their first phone was basically invite-only for most of its lifespan, but that was justified for a flagship-quality phone at $299 USD. The OnePlus One was first available in April 2014. Their follow-up is the OnePlus 2, go figure, which will be formally announced on July 27th.
Several announcements lead up to that date, though. One day, OnePlus stated that the announcement will be done in VR, and they are selling Google Cardboard for "free" outside of the $5 shipping fee. Another day, they announced that the price will be "under $450 USD". Today, they announced that the OnePlus Two will have 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM, matching the capacity of the ASUS ZenPhone 2. It will also contain the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, which should be able to support OpenGL ES 3.1 and Vulkan (whenever that arrives).
It makes you wonder what's left for July 27th, besides the release date. My guess is that day.
Almost NoScript Exploits Whitelist Vulnerabilities

Tagged: noscript, javascript, firefox
This is like a five-year-old figuring out how to unlock a fireworks case full of paper crackers.
Regardless, there are two vulnerabilities, both of which have already been updated. Both of them take advantage of the whitelist functionality to ignore malicious code. By default, NoScript trusts a handful of domains, because blocking every script ever would break too much of the internet.
The first problem is that the whitelist has a little cruft, some of which including domain names that are useless, and even some that have expired into the public domain for sale. To prove a point, Matthew Bryant purchased zendcdn.net and used it to serve his own JavaScript. The second problem is similar, but slightly different. Rather than finding a domain that expired, it found some whitelist entries, such as googleapis.com, that had sub-domains, storage.googleapis.com, which is a service that accepts untrusted user scripts (it is part of Google's Cloud Platform).
Again, even though JavaScript is about as secure as you can get in an executable language, you should be allowed to control what executes on your machine. As stated, NoScript has already addressed these issues in a recent update.

$110 Intel Compute Stick With Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Coming Soon
Subject: General Tech | July 7, 2015 - 04:21 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Z3735F, ubuntu 14.04, SFF, linux, Intel, compute stick
Intel is giving Linux some love with a new Compute Stick equipped with Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS coming out this week for $110. This new model comes with less RAM and intrernal storage along with a $40 price cut versus the previous Compute Stick (which comes with Windows 8.1 With Bing).
On the outside, the new Linux-equipped Compute Stick (STCK1A8LFC) is identical to the existing SKU (read our review here) with its flash drive form factor, Intel logo, and small vents along the top and sides. Ports on the Intel STCK1A8LFC include one HDMI, one Micro USB port for power, one Micro SD card slot for storage, and a single full size USB 2.0 port for peripherals.
The Compute Stick is powered by an Intel Z3735F processor that is actively cooled by a tiny fan. This chip is a 22nm Bay Trail part with four CPU cores and Intel HD Graphics. The CPU has a base clock of 1.33 GHz and a maximum turbo clockspeed of 1.83 GHz. This SoC is paired with 1GB of DDR3L memory and 8GB of internal flash eMMC storage. There is also an 802.11b/g/n wireless radio with Bluetooth. The table below compares these specifications to the alternative Compute Stick with Windows.
|Compute Stick (Ubuntu)
|Compute Stick (Windows)
|Model #
The STCK1A8LFC with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be available later this week from all the usual online retailers with an MSRP of $110.
It would have been nice to keep the 2GB of RAM even if Intel could not cut the price as much. There is always Micro SD for more stoage, but the 1GB of RAM is going to be somewhat limiting even for a Linux OS which typically can be made to run much leaner than Windows. It is nice to see Linux getting a design win and being bundled with the portable PC. If you need more RAM from your Compute Stick, you will need to buy the more expensive Windows version – at $150 – and install Linux yourself, however.
Zotac's GTX 980Ti AMP! Extreme Is A Factory Overclocked Monster
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 4, 2015 - 02:39 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: zotac, maxwell, gtx 980ti, factory overclocked
Zotac recently unleashed a monstrous new GTX 980Ti AMP! Extreme graphics card featuring a giant triple slot cooler and a very respectable factory overclock.
Specifically, the Zotac ZT-90505-10P card is a custom card with a factory overclocked NVIDIA GTX 980Ti GPU and GDDR5 memory. The card is a triple slot design that uses a dual fin stack IceStorm heatsink with three 90mm temperature controlled EKO fans. The cooler wraps the fans and HSF in a shroud and also uses a backplate on the bottom of the card. The card is powered by two 8-pin PCI-E power connectors and display outputs include three DisplayPort, one HDMI, and one DL-DVI.
Zotac was able to push the Maxwell GPU with its 2,816 CUDA cores to 1,253 MHz base and 1,355 MHz boost. Further, the 6GB GDDR5 memory also has a factory overclock of 7,220 MHz. These clockspeeds are a decent bump over the reference speeds of 1,000 MHz GPU base, 1,076 MHz GPU boost, and 7,012 MHz memory.
We'll have to wait for reviews to know for sure, but on paper this card looks to be a nice card that should run fast and cool thanks to that triple fan cooler. The ZT-90505-10P will be available shortly with an MSRP of $700 and a 2 year warranty.
Definitely not a bad price compared to other GTX 980Ti cards on the market.
Microsoft Releases Several Windows 10 Builds This Week
Subject: General Tech | July 5, 2015 - 04:20 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 10, microsoft
Early this week, Microsoft released a pair of new builds into the Windows Insider Fast Ring. Back to back, Build 10158 was released on Monday and 10159 followed it on Tuesday. These two updates fixed several hundred bugs, officially branded Project Spartan as Microsoft Edge, introduced the new default wallpaper to the desktop and lock screen, and tweaked a few more interface elements since 10130. After an uneventful Wednesday, Build 10162 arrived on Thursday with ISOs released later that evening, which was great for me because I couldn't get the build through Windows Update. Sad face.
I was a Slow Ring user for the last few releases, and I honestly intend to continue with that pace going forward. This is my production machine, but switching to Fast was tempting in hopes that the new build would fix the few problems that I had. Namely, StarCraft II was flickering terribly since 10074 when played in windowed mode. Thankfully, StarCraft II can reliably alt+tab without crashing, but it excludes playing a slow-paced Arcade mod in another monitor while doing something else. Mount & Blade: Warband had similar issues, especially when the monitor and game are set to 120 Hz. It seems to be just DirectX 9 titles, too. Either way, they are still unfixed for me. Some of our viewers may want to know my experience.
The first thing that I noticed was a seemingly new upgrade screen between asking to reboot and actually rebooting. This was something that I only remember experiencing with Windows Updates, not whole new Windows builds. Perhaps this was a big one for some reason? It did try to install an anti-malware definition alongside it, so maybe it was just a weird interaction between Windows Update and the Windows 10 in-place build upgrade. Maybe it's something new though.
The lock screen is the next obvious change. It contains the new Windows branding that was announced a couple of weeks ago. The slanted window was made out of glass, fog, and projected light. Even though it fits the previous branding, Microsoft made a big deal out of it.
The major change occurs once logged in. Microsoft Edge is no longer referred to as "Project Spartan", and it is basically a full-fledged web browser now. Its performance is great, and it is nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to browser compatibility. I do feel that the interface is kind-of ugly, though. Granted, the soft fonts are probably easier to scale between high and low DPI monitors, but I would prefer something more crisp. Likewise, the big, featureless, rectangular UI elements are likely a compromise for touch displays, but I've always thought they were placeholder during development builds. Then again, I find basically every browser to be bland, so there's that.
Other UI elements were altered as well. For instance, while I don't pay too much attention to elements in the notification tray, I am pretty sure that Quiet Hours and the OneNote shortcut are new. While "Note" is obvious, it opens OneNote, Quiet Hours apparently gives a toggle to disable notifications. This is not a new feature, dating back to Windows 8 and Windows Phone apparently, but it has a new home in the notification area.
We're getting close to the July 29th "release" date and might see several builds before then, too. Builds are mostly merging work into a stable core at this point. According to BuildFeed, fbl_impressive, the branch of Windows 10 that is given to Windows Insiders, is up to build 10164, which was created on July 1st. We're not going to see every build of course, some are destined to partners for instance, but the distance between QA-approved builds is shrinking. Unless something is broken that you hope Microsoft will fix or you can afford the time to upgrade, it might be useful to switch to slow until launch. You could always flip to Fast if something cool comes up, although there is sometimes a lag before Windows Update changes your branch if you do that.
Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock Tock
A few websites have been re-reporting on a leak from BenchLife.info about Kaby Lake, which is supposedly a second 14nm redesign ("Tock") to be injected between Skylake and Cannonlake.
UPDATE (July 2nd, 3:20pm ET): It has been pointed out that many hoaxes have come out of the same source, and that I should be more clear in my disclaimer. This is an unconfirmed, relatively easy to fake leak that does not have a second, independent source. I reported on it because (apart from being interesting enough) some details were listed on the images, but not highlighted in the leak, such as "GT0" and a lack of Iris Pro on -K. That suggests that the leaker got the images from somewhere, but didn't notice those details, which implies that the original source was hoaxed by an anonymous source, who only seeded the hoax to a single media outlet, or that it was an actual leak.
Either way, enjoy my analysis but realize that this is a single, unconfirmed source who allegedly published hoaxes in the past.

If true, this would be a major shift in both Intel's current roadmap as well as how they justify their research strategies. It also includes a rough stack of product categories, from 4.5W up to 91W TDPs, including their planned integrated graphics configurations. This leads to a pair of interesting stories:
How Kaby Lake could affect Intel's processors going forward. Since 2006, Intel has only budgeted a single CPU architecture redesign for any given fabrication process node. Taking two attempts on the 14nm process buys time for 10nm to become viable, but it could also give them more time to build up a better library of circuit elements, allowing them to assemble better processors in the future.
What type of user will be given Iris Pro? Also, will graphics-free options be available in the sub-Enthusiast class? When buying a processor from Intel, the high-end mainstream processors tend to have GT2-class graphics, such as the Intel HD 4600. Enthusiast architectures, such as Haswell-E, cannot be used without discrete graphics -- the extra space is used for more cores, I/O lanes, or other features. As we will discuss later, Broadwell took a step into changing the availability of Iris Pro in the high-end mainstream, but it doesn't seem like Kaby Lake will make any more progress. Also, if I am interpreting the table correctly, Kaby Lake might bring iGPU-less CPUs to LGA 1151.
Keeping Your Core Regular
To the first point, Intel has been on a steady tick-tock cycle since the Pentium 4 architecture reached the 65nm process node, which was a "tick". The "tock" came from the Conroe/Merom architecture that was branded "Core 2". This new architecture was a severe departure from the high clock, relatively low IPC design that Netburst was built around, which instantaneously changed the processor landscape from a dominant AMD to an Intel runaway lead.
After 65nm and Core 2 started the cycle, every new architecture alternated between shrinking the existing architecture to smaller transistors (tick) and creating a new design on the same fabrication process (tock). Even though Intel has been steadily increasing their R&D budget over time, which is now in the range of $10 to $12 billion USD each year, creating smaller, more intricate designs with new process nodes has been getting harder. For comparison, AMD's total revenue (not just profits) for 2014 was $5.51 billion USD.
Read on to see more about what Kaby Lake could mean for Intel and us.
Report: ASUS STRIX AMD Radeon Fury (Non-X) Card Listings Found
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 3, 2015 - 08:45 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: strix, rumor, report, Radeon Fury, asus, amd
A report from VideoCardz.com shows three listings for an unreleased ASUS STRIX version of the AMD Radeon Fury (non-X).
Image credit: VideoCardz
The listings are from European sites, and all three list the same model name: ASUS-STRIX R9FURY-DC3-4G-GAMING. You can find the listing from the above photo here at the German site Computer-PC-Shop.
Image credit: VideoCardz
We can probably safely assume that this upcoming air-cooled card will make use of the new DirectCU III cooler introduced with the new STRIX GTX 980 Ti and STRIX R9 390X, and this massive triple-fan cooler should provide an interesting look at what Fury can do without the AIO liquid cooler from the Fury X. Air cooling will of course negate the issue of pump whine that many have complained about with certain Fury X units.

WiFi Password sharing, a little known Windows Phone feature is about to hit the big time
Subject: General Tech | July 1, 2015 - 03:25 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Wi-Fi Sense, _optout, windows 10
Wi-Fi Sense has been a feature on phones running Windows 8.1, entering in your password on the phone would allow a computer logged in with the same Microsoft account to connect to your own wireless, with the password stored and encrypted on a Microsoft server. It looks as though this feature will be available on all Windows 10 devices, sharing your wireless passwords with all of your Outlook, Skype and even Facebook contacts if you enable it. This is certainly handy for when visiting as you will not need to ask for the wireless password at a friends house but does raise some security concerns. If you happen to have Outlook contacts on your work machine which are not necessarily co-workers, they would be able to access your corporate network, as unfortunately would their contacts and even worse so could anyone who had compromised any of those accounts or machines. The password is encrypted and not easy to access directly and the application does seem to limit access to WAN, somehow blocking access to the LAN even with proper credentials. As The Register rightly points out, if a password is the totality of your access management protocols, you are already doing it wrong but this is something all users should be aware of.
"A Windows 10 feature, Wi-Fi Sense, smells like a security risk: it shares Wi-Fi passwords with the user's contacts."

Time is precious, waste it wisely.
There is so much pressure to say witty and clever things about myself, however I was never successful at creative writing in school. I can tell you I am shy when you first meet me and then you can't get me to stop talking once you know me. I love food and exploring new places in the city . I love a good cup of coffee on sunday morning and if I could, I would travel everywhere. I am a very down to earth person and I prefer to spend my friday nights on the couch with a glass or wine or bourbon and a movie ( if you want to go out 3 days a week to a bar to get wasted, we probably aren't on the same page). I love to drive and see new places, so a good random road trip is always fun. I am also pretty sarcastic and love someone that can make me laugh.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Bowling, Hockey, Running, Skiing, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
Middle of the Road
I love farmers markets and fresh produce, the beach in the summer, a good play list on my iPod, movies that don't win awards because the terrible ones are usually better.
I like the things most people do- movies, dinners and drinks, mini road trips...
Currently reading Atlas Shrugged and I love a good mystery novel.

Glenn Maynor, former sheriff of Robeson County, N.C., pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges resulting from a federal corruption investigation. More than a dozen of his deputies have also admitted guilt in the the case.
Maynor and his deputies were the target of a federal investigation labeled Operation Tarnished Badge. The investigation was conducted at the request of District Attorney Johnson Britt. It has resulted in 22 convictions on federal charges.
Maynor left office in 2004, citing health problems, but the investigation continued. Prosecutors say that among other crimes he stole more than $10,000 in federal funds that were intended for law enforcement programs.
The former sheriff now faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count of misapplying federal funds and lying to a federal grand jury. A sentencing date had not been set at presstime.
Seventeen former Robeson County deputy sheriffs have also pleaded guilty to charges ranging from kidnapping and conspiracy to distribute cocaine to stealing satellite TV signals. They have not been sentenced.

The investment objective is to provide long term capital growth, measured in EUR, through investment primarily (meaning a minimum of two thirds of the Portfolio's assets) in shares of companies listed on the world's stock exchanges. Investments will be sought primarily in equity securities of companies domiciled in developed countries, but limited investment may be made in the securities of companies domiciled in developing countries as well. The Portfolio may also invest (up to one third of the Portfolio's assets) in preference shares, transferable debt securities convertible into common shares and other equity linked securities, such as warrants on equities. The Portfolio may invest both in EUR and non-EUR denominated securities. However, in order to protect the Portfolio from non-EUR currency exposure, the Portfolio may use permitted hedging techniques. The Portfolio may hold liquid assets on an ancillary basis.

Very Good Design, GLWS
thanks for the kind comments!
very nice GLWS
thanks! appreciate the support!
Love your work , Jonathan. Wish you the best with this one.
Kind Regards,
thanks man!
Great design, thanks. Quick question – I'm not a Photoshop expert, but can get around, is there a quick way to change the background color for the snow landscape? I'd like to make it a blue to match our logo.
Thanks for the purchase! Yes I provide you everything in your download – select the background and fill with a color and export for the web to replace the provided file.
Quick question – MailChimp seems to add extra whitespace to the top https://www.evernote.com/shard/s6/sh/e992daa2-64b5-4c40-906d-52f8932e299c/4670d432861afc93e563ec656d715b00
Any idea how to fix this?
It looks like that isn't mailchimp, that's a snap from google right? Therefore it's google adding a small margin when reading – make sure you didn't remove margin on body or that mailchimp didn't when you imported.
Many thanks
Sorry had to flag your message because you had a huge screen shot of the marketplace. Not sure why, however, the margin after looking in to this, is supposed to be there at certain sizes – therefore your alteration to change the width to 100% is perfect in your case if you don't want it there – happy you fixed it and sorry for having to remove the big screen shot but it's the only way to ask for removal.
Awesome work! But is this not phone screen-friendly?
Yes it's responsive as mentioned and tested in about 30 email clients via litmus testing. However it depends on your phone and what email client is used.

The majority of mosh-related insurance claims Chippendale sees are from those who are injured after standing around them -- not those who are actually participating.
"The people who are in it are voluntarily doing what they do in mosh pits, slam-dancing," said Chippendale. "Those aren't the ones filing the claims, it's usually the person that they're falling on."
The unpredictable nature of mosh pits has spurred several insurance companies to exclude those kind of injuries, said Chippendale.
"Insurance for concerts that have a moshing potential are definitely more expensive," said Chippendale. "A Metallica concert will have more exposure to moshing and the [insurance] rates are definitely higher."
"You have to have well-trained security in place to control mosh pits," said Chippendale. "But even then, someone can get hurt in a matter of seconds."
Despite his overwhelming research highlighting the dangers of mosh pits, Wertheimer says he does not want to see mosh pits banned from concerts but rather monitored more carefully.
He suggests venues seperate areas specifically for mosh pits with metal barriers so that nonmoshers are not injured and also advises security to do a better job of controlling the number of people who are allowed into a concert, helping to prevent crowd crushes.
"Mosh pits shouldn't be banned if they can be managed safely," said Wertheimer, who has been injured in several mosh pits and now wears special outfits to protect himself at concerts, including steel-toed boots with no-slip soles. "It can be fun and enjoyable and can work in a relatively safe manner."
And no matter what concert security tells fans, chances are concertgoers are going listen to the band as well as security officials when it comes to moshing.
"Bands like it, they want to see a reaction to their music," said Wertheimer. "They call for it and ask people to mosh."
"They say, 'I want to see people get nuts and form a pit!'" added Wertheimer.

"Superman Returns" star Brandon Routh is taking flight again -- this time in The CW's comic-book drama "Arrow."
Routh is set to play the recurring role of Ray Palmer, also known as The Atom, in the show's third season. His character is a scientist and inventor that will have an unexpected yet mysterious role in the lives of Oliver and Felicity.
Many fans got a taste of Routh as a superhero when he played the Man of Steel in 2006's "Superman Returns." He also appeared on network TV in NBC's "Chuck" and CBS' "Partners." Most recently, he had a guest role on Fox's "Enlisted."
Routh is the latest star joining the "Arrow" cast in season three: Devon Aoki will playing Tatsu Yamashiro, AKA martial arts expert Katana; Karl Yune will appear as Tatsu's husband, Maseo Yamashiro; and Peter Stormare will inherit the mantle of Count Vertigo after the Arrow killed the previous purveyor of the dangerous drug. The show returns Oct. 8 on The CW.
Variety sister site TVLine first broke the news.

According to a new study, road race runners looking to improve their times should get used to the cold this winter as opposed to training indoors on a treadmill.
Research has found that people walking on a treadmill had to set the incline to 3 percent to match the energy expended from a walk on flat surfaces outdoors.
Lead researcher Professor Luigi Fattorini of the Sapienza University of Rome said running on uneven territory outside uses 10 percent more energy than running on a smooth treadmill, according to ThePostGame.
Also, Tung Yin from Oregon Live points out that there is no outdoors air resistance on a treadmill, so he suggests adjusting the machine's incline to achieve more effort. A nine mile an hour breeze is said to make a runner use 5.5 percent more energy than on days without wind.
Lin notes that running outdoors offers better scenery and motivation, and allows a runner to set their own pace. Inside, the treadmill sets the pace for the runner. But he adds that relying on the treadmill too much can limit a runner's progress.
Using the treadmill still has great benefits, according to "3 Fat Chicks on a Diet" blog. You can reduce the risk of injuries, and you can still get in your running during days of inclement weather. The site recommends that treadmill users run longer than they would outdoors to burn the same amount of calories.
And running on pavement requires the proper kind of footwear to save pain your knees and legs absorb from the pounding.

HONG KONG — Visitors from mainland China climb the stairs to a cramped room filled with forbidden delights: shelves of scandal-packed exposés about their Communist Party masters.
The People's Recreation Community bookstore and several others on Hong Kong's teeming shopping streets specialize in selling books and magazines banned by the Chinese government, mostly for their luridly damning accounts of party leaders, past and present. And at a time when many Chinese citizens smolder with distrust of their leaders, business is thriving.
"We come here to buy books that we can't read in China," said Huang Tao, a salesman of nutritional supplements from southeast China. "There are so many things that we've been deceived over," he said, waving toward books on the devastating famine of the late 1950s and early 1960s, an episode that official histories have muffled in euphemisms.
Such publications smuggle corrosive facts and rumors into the bloodstream of Chinese political life. The contraband flow is reinforced by a flow of online publications and downloadable pirate copies. The trade shows the thirst for information in a society gripped by censorship, and the difficulties that party authorities face in trying to stifle that thirst, especially when, people in the business say, officials are among the avid readers of banned books.
"These books are playing a big role in raising the consciousness of the Chinese people," said a Beijing journalist who visits Hong Kong several times a year and buys armloads of exposés. He asked that his name not be used, fearing punishment. "It's impossible to stop everything getting through."
They contain accounts of every conceivable scandal of the past. Then there are the gloomy prophecies about China's future. One book foretells a war with Japan in 2014, another a toppling of the current leadership that same year. The strongest seller among these feverish jeremiads, "2014: The Great Collapse," says the fall of the Communist Party is assured, citing what it says are secret party documents.
"Some people take these books very seriously. I had a phone call just yesterday for 20 copies of this book. He seemed to be a Chinese businessman," said Paul Tang, the proprietor of the store, which in Chinese goes by the more ironic name of the People's Commune bookstore.
A former British colony, Hong Kong became a self-administered region of China in 1997, and despite pressures from Beijing, remains free of state censorship. In 2012, Hong Kong hosted 34.9 million visits by Chinese nationals, many on shopping sprees.
Chinese customs officials often confiscate publications about forbidden themes. But prosecutions of caught travelers are virtually unheard of these days because the government would have difficulty explaining its secretive censorship practices, even before tame, party-run courts, said Bao Pu, the head of New Century Press, a Hong Kong publisher of many books by ousted and retired Chinese officials.
Some of the hastily written potboilers appear fanciful, even by the generous standards that China has recently set, with a real-life scandal involving a Politburo member, Bo Xilai, who fell from power after his wife, Gu Kailai, was arrested on charges of murdering a British businessman.
"It's like when your National Enquirer becomes your only form of political discussion," said Geremie Barme, a professor at the Australian National University in Canberra who studies Chinese culture. "This is a tragedy that the party has generated for itself."

MTV was sad to announce the cancellation of the highly anticipated and controversial teen soap "Skins" on Thursday (June 9). The decision came after the American version of the hugely popular U.K. show just didn't bring in enough viewers to green-light a second season.
" 'Skins' is a global television phenomenon that, unfortunately, didn't connect with a U.S. audience as much as we had hoped," the network said in a statement to MTV News. "We admire the work that the series' creator Bryan Elsley did in adapting the show for MTV, and appreciate the core audience that embraced it."
Despite the huge buzz "Skins" had going into its premiere on January 17, the show wasn't able to build on its viewership. It also faced the obstacle of being rated TV-MA, which meant that, A) the show couldn't be broadcast before 10 p.m., and B) was intended for viewers over the age of 17, even though it was set in a high school.
Elsley created the U.K. series with his son Jamie Brittain in 2007. He called the show "old-fashioned" in the way that it
focused solely on the universal experience of being a teenager and how they deal with family, friends and burgeoning adulthood. Elsley firmly defended the show's content as not so much controversial, but "a very serious attempt to get to the roots of young people's lives. It tries to tell the truth. Sometimes that truth can be a little painful to adults and parents."
The end of "Skins" does not mean the end of MTV's efforts to broadcast more original scripted programming. There are six new series set to premiere on the network this fall: "Awkward," "Beavis and Butt-head," "Good Vibes," "I Just Want My Pants Back," "Death Valley" and "Inbetweeners."
Are you sad to say goodbye to "Skins"? Tell us in the comments.

I know the config file requires the IPs to listen on to be available at start, however I want to point out a situation in which this is a disadvantage (and maybe hear your suggestions for a solution). I have an android phone, a small android tablet, and a Linux Mint computer. I also have a non-techie girlfriend.
We are currently on the go, and we use the phone connection to navigate internet with the laptop and tablet (much better to have a laptop when you have much to write, or big photos to look at and edit etc.
We connect the phone to the computer via USB, tether the connection and then, if needed, connect the tablet to the computer's ad-hoc wifi. We do this instead of just using bluetooth from the phone to extend the benefits of our privoxy/polipo setup on the computer to the tablet as well, to save expensive and rare bandwidth. Privoxy is set up to work with Polipo. It's set up with the localhost and the IP address assigned by the phone's wired network, say 220.127.116.11.
At boot, the services are started. Polipo goes, but Privoxy fails: "Fatal error: can't bind to 18.104.22.168:8118."
Then we have to restart privoxy manually, which I can do, but not my girlfriend. It also annoys me, since no configuration needs to actually be changed. If we disconnect and reconnect the phone's cable, the network keeps working ok, because the IP offered is always 188.8.131.52, as a further indication that, in this use case, the attitude of Privoxy of requiring the IPs to respond at start is a bug, not a feature.
Thank you for reading (and if you have a solution in mind to share).
Fabian Keil
Binding to the unavailable address is prevented by the operating system, not by Privoxy itself.
If you are working with known IP addresses I'd let Privoxy bind to localhost only and use the system's packet filter (e.g. IPtables) to redirect requests for "18.104.22.168:8118" coming from the expected addresses to Privoxy.

You hope.� Hey...I thought everyone loved Torre!
We are thankful for everything he did for our team. But the last 4 years he was making questionable moves and he got quite complacent. I swear sometimes he was sleeping in the dugout. And he never stood up for the team like Girardi is doing. Torre actually threw Arod under the bus once. Managers shouldn't do that. It was time for him to move on.

Um, if running over a catcher is ok in the regular season, there's no reason to pay them back for it in the regular season.

I don't agree that the yankees have lost with Damon....yet. His first year there he did great. Last year wasn't good, but when he played and led off they did much better. I will wait and see how he does this year. No, he isn't playing in CF like he was suppose to, but he seems more suited to LF. I liked how he played it there last year. But it is true the yankees haven't had much luck with FA.
As far as other teams stepping up, spending more money, competing for the FA's out there, yes they have. And of course that has made it harder for the yankees to win. I think it is a more level playing field then it has ever been. Even the teams with a lot of young kids look pretty good out there. I find that good for baseball. I don't have a problem with it. You can't win them all. But the yankees are still out there competing, and except for last year were winning their division and making the PO's. They won't and can't always win. But they have had a heck of a run for the last 12 years or so. To compare the yanks and the sox as Russia and the US though is a little overboard. It is just a game.

The Yankees came to that conclusion after trying to buy EVERY title since free agency started (1970).��� They have been successful only six times.� 6 for 37 = 14%� Now that there is another team willing to spend with them, and outsmart them, they are realizing they haven't been successful.� Since the RS, Angels, Mets, and Cubs stepped up; ZERO WS rings.� Even when they won battles for free agents, the Yankees lost.� Zambrano, Contreras, Rogers, Johnson, Damon, Weaver, etc etc.It was kinda like the cold war.� The US bi.tched that the USSR was sending a far greater percentage of their GNP on�weapons.� Until Reagan stepped up and said that he would outsend the USSR at every turn.� Down came the�walls, down came the Evil Empire.So it sounds like you agree with the yankees approach of spending money in order to win.� and all along sox fans criticized the yankees for doing business that way but now that the sox are doing it the same way the yankees did, it is smart.............LOL............
