This is a PC used as a workstation for coding, image process= ing=20 and the odd video transcoding. No gaming. Using stable radeon driver. Th= e=20 performance of this machine has really impressed me when compiling packages= ,=20 but I don't have the latest generation i7 to compare it with. Unlike noisy= =20 discrete GPUs this thing is really quiet and doesn't consume much power=20 either. The Asus MoBo has a port for an external GPU, but I don't think I= =20 will ever bother getting one - certainly not new. ;-) I have been thinking that the better compiling performance compared to my=20 other older PCs can't just be CPU specific, it must be all these additional= =20 HSA-enabled compute cores that are doing some of the heavy lifting. I don'= t=20 know how to check this though. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2724165.6zFSTqHscY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAABCAAGBQJV8IbkAAoJELAdA+zwE4YeN68H/39zkjqNZvEElXhphV+TENMD JiM5pQsJv4PkS64EVNVOTDdu2iiwryxtNg1hikMzaoiiRFqrQ0bMt7WElBHoanJh H3HFKWZNvZAU8nj7/KKqnWDM/7+l6QfufY9s3rAP+0F6G6cVNueeNqtv+hLiLJe1 3MbDcnivNqjc/a9sjI7NefsyQlQkRYtnsuyvU45YFFBE7p9XXGEejZAEwxkBZT9p b7VHjxuLvLOglxKfMYYNoEcdsirmmDBN3/73ZeXLMcYIIhomtw+HVGtFza5gzt19 b7AWoNvwPY4D2/D4FRTriaV0OK1FtXwZ0IqDHBvSykwd4uQF9qe0GX0zXwthjqc= =sGVZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2724165.6zFSTqHscY--
