On a side note, the desktop front is just depressing now. Ultrabooks now have SSDs 3 times faster than the fastest desktop SSDs now, while PCIE desktop SSDs remain too...

Well, no offense sdlvx - but I think that's a slight exaggeration. Intel isn't "giving up" the market, it just isn't the priority. Intel will still service the desktop market, although in what form remains to be seen - I think that they...

Also, what he just said, GENO. I'm not trying to be rude, but in my opinion you should really respect the fact that he probably is not allowed to do a full disclosure at this point, and not incessantly ask him questions that he cannot...

IMHO, you all are thinking in the wrong terms. What differentiates aftermarket 780s is the ability to prevent throttling and to feed more power to the GPU - this is why the current aftermarket cards, despite being reference PCB, tend to...
