Stop talking to yourself
tp thread is tp thread
Sometimes it's like he accidentally makes a thread instead of a google search.

There is no assurance that the world outside of Tp4 actually exists.

The Beginning, The Tp4, The End...

The same cycle every "possible" construct goes through.

Compare to masturbation vs actual intercourse.

Cache, memory timing/control, core balance, etc..
I was thinking it was high but remove the cores and it's mid 20watts, which isn't really that bad for what it's doing.

you're switching from one 77 oled to another right? I'd say its not worth it to buy retail to make this upgrade unless you can sell your current TV for close to the price of the new one.

The s95f has higher peak highlight limit that's why.

For HDR, it's about the same, but for SDR, the limiter makes a big difference.

Finger over buy for AW3225QF 32” 4K 240Hz

$765

/Must resisssst.

It's 4K, it's 240hz, it's qd-oled

The 1 thing,
holding Tp4 back, is Display Stream Compression.

-but realistically, are we really going to get that sweet 80gbps display port soonish?

According to the Steam hardware survey, close to 60% of people are still using 16gb of RAM

Tp4 barely uses the 32gb.

That said, Tp4 believes 32 is prudent because it allows you to run at least 2-3 vms without much trouble.

I won't say 16 is bad, it's not, but it's pretty much the bare minimum on Windows 11.
Honestly, 24 would probably a perfect number for most people if it was practical, but it's not, so 32 it is. Keep in mind I'm also not saying you need 64, that's pretty much where 32 was a few years ago. It's overkill.

24gb is happening because of lpddr5 soldered ram for AMD APUs.

There are no other packages that makes sense.

32gb on a laptop, in most cases, IS a bit much/ wasted.
