The Intel Core i9-9980XE CPU Review: Refresh Until it Hertz
by Ian Cutress on November 13, 2018 9:00 AM ESTGaming: F1 2018
Aside from keeping up-to-date on the Formula One world, F1 2017 added HDR support, which F1 2018 has maintained; otherwise, we should see any newer versions of Codemasters' EGO engine find its way into F1. Graphically demanding in its own right, F1 2018 keeps a useful racing-type graphics workload in our benchmarks.
We use the in-game benchmark, set to run on the Montreal track in the wet, driving as Lewis Hamilton from last place on the grid. Data is taken over a one-lap race.

If you are so immature and clueless as to not recognize that most professionals - like anyone in sales or management or 90% of other professions have no need for more compute than a 15 watt core i5 delivers you should certainly not call others unprofessional.bigboss2077 - Saturday, November 24, 2018 - link
ohh man I think you take too much weed.PeachNCream - Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - link
It's about bragging or walking around with a puffed up chest. For some people, self-promotion through the ownership of overpriced, unnecessary computer hardware is an important element of filling up otherwise empty, meaningless lives.Spunjji - Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - link
It's weird, because you're doing that too, only inverted. Your entire argument seems to be that because it's good enough for you and your colleagues it should be good enough or everyone.PeachNCream - Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - link
Attack as a means of defense. You're implying I've listed a set of specifications that meet everyone's requirements in order to attempt to defeat an argument that contained no such implication because you can't find another way to discredit it.MisterAnon - Wednesday, November 14, 2018 - link
You look ridiculous trying to get out of admitting that you lost the argument. Interesting mental gymnastics though.MisterAnon - Wednesday, November 14, 2018 - link
>It's about bragging or walking around with a puffed up chest.That's funny, because it seems the only one doing that is you! I sense an insecurity coming from you over the fact that you use a tiny laptop. Unless your job requires you to walk around and type at the same time, there is precisely zero reason for any professional to sacrifice power and productivity for useless mobility. You're going to be in the same room all day at work.

Setting conditions for what justifies or doesn't justify a mobile computer versus a desktop is just an attempt to create "rules" for the silly Calvinball-style game you're attempting to play. "Oh, you can ONLY use X if condition Y exists, so nyah nyah! I win you big meanie!" I know that typing when you're offended tends to limit the ability to think sensibly, but at least pause for a moment or two before you let your emotions get the better of you.imaheadcase - Tuesday, November 13, 2018 - link
"intel tax" as in if you didn't want to upgrade you have to scrap motherboard/ram to upgrade anyways if already intel? Tell me more about that tax they charge.That is a silly expression, much like people saying "Gsync tax". Not even a tax in that case, you literally are going to buy a monitor with it if you have nvidia..you would actually pay MORE to buy a new gpu/monitor together for other option. lol

Your post engages in little more than sophistry. It's equivalent to claiming that house prices in London aren't any higher than they are in Sheffield because you, the buyer, already live in London. You might want to live there for various reasons, but you're still paying more money for something directly comparable because of that choice. Whether you think it's worth it is up to you, but to pretend it doesn't exist is just weird.
