Gaming: Strange Brigade (DX12, Vulkan)
Strange Brigade is based in 1903’s Egypt and follows a story which is very similar to that of the Mummy film franchise. This particular third-person shooter is developed by Rebellion Developments which is more widely known for games such as the Sniper Elite and Alien vs Predator series. The game follows the hunt for Seteki the Witch Queen who has arose once again and the only ‘troop’ who can ultimately stop her. Gameplay is cooperative centric with a wide variety of different levels and many puzzles which need solving by the British colonial Secret Service agents sent to put an end to her reign of barbaric and brutality.
The game supports both the DirectX 12 and Vulkan APIs and houses its own built-in benchmark which offers various options up for customization including textures, anti-aliasing, reflections, draw distance and even allows users to enable or disable motion blur, ambient occlusion and tessellation among others. AMD has boasted previously that Strange Brigade is part of its Vulkan API implementation offering scalability for AMD multi-graphics card configurations.

And that's before you talk about cooling. My word.

Are you OK?trivik12 - Wednesday, May 20, 2020 - link
terrible product but its still impressive that it has single core performance to hold against latest Ryzen processor. I wonder when Rocketlake will release and then hopefully we see 10/7nm desktop in 2022 at least.At least Tigerlake in notebook looks good as clockspeeds are up big time and icelake already has shown good single threaded performance. Tigerlake-H/U/Y should be welcome additions.

Reminds me of back when Steve Jobs went on stage and talking about how the advertisement team got inspired by how hot Intel chips ran compared to IBM's Power chips and showed this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g15RwcVMXsc
Replace the "Apple Computer" bit with AMD and it's almost applicable today
