What a biased article:
"that comes out to 10 to 20 miles per day, which is near negligible if you’re trying to use the car for anything other than city errands."
10-20 miles per day is a big chunk of a commute for a lot of people. This is hardly negligible.
It's a pretty awesome chip. I bought one the moment they came out with a B450 motherboard. It sounds like I won't be upgrading to Zen 3 with it, but that's probably fine. It's more than enough for the tasks I do.
With that said, once the 3300x is out, I would likely go that route with a cheaper a320 motherboard. This would bring the cost of the cpu/motherboard to about $175 which is terrific value, and leaves you with more money for other components.
I find the included cooler for the 3600 not so great. I bought one the month it came out, and was hitting pretty high temps when creating h264 using only CPU. I tried applying paste before buying a better cooler. I think 3600x and up have much better coolers.
It's a nice reminder to stay away from the gambling industry. Any company that doesn't play by the same rules as you, doesn't deserve your business. Try voiding a bet you made due to your algorithm error once. I'm sure they would just laugh.
I want to start placing "Google and " before stating my accomplishments.
"Google and a nuclear fusion company have developed a new algorithm"
sounds way better than:
"Nuclear fusion company has developed a new algorithm using Google"
They may not mean the same, but in today's world faking it until you make it might pay off.
I had the same 40.8 GB surprise. ~34 GB was Xamarin.
