What is FinFET? FinFET vs. Planar?

Why Do You Answer Questions From People Who Aren’t Me?

05:17 - T M: “Can you not answer questions that are easily googlable and verified within 5-10 minutes of reading results and forums? Like the w/mk one, gpu thermal paste, passive cooling heating room (it's the same amount of heat going in the room regardless of how it's being put there), etc? That's all linus tech tips level stuff.”

What is the Silicon Lottery?

07:27 - W G: “What is the silicone lottery? Why does it exist and how does it impact consumers?”

13:39 – Maxvla: “If we have vintage computer component posters we'd like to donate, how do we do so?”

14:45 - HS Jason: “How to determine the phase design on VRMs on motherboards? Because you can’t simply count the number of chokes and call it a day”

18:41 - Kevin Skusek: “With the upcoming Intel CPUs potentially keeping HT as an exclusive for the i9 now (with an “exclusive price to match, probably), how many cores do you need such that HT no longer brings any benefits for gaming?”
