It says so right under his name, "like verified". Not sure when that got there...
Oh wow, two revenges in a single day. Thank you Cerny.

We clearly need another level of sub, 'Wager Loser'.

wage loser 1, 2, 3
3 months, 6 months, 12 months respectively!
Probably not a good idea really. The wagers are a bit of fun, but if someone gets branded a loser, it might become a bit sensitive and discourage people from making predictions. Remember, it never matters if you're right or wrong in B3D opinions or predictions. Unlike professional sports, It's not the winning but the taking part.

This is basically the opposite of the Hovis Method. The Hovis Method allowed all Xs to run at the same frequencies with individualized power profiles. Essentially, whats being described by Sony is what consoles have done traditionally outside of the variable frequencies.
To me, I interpret Sony's method as an aggressive standard power profile that uses variable frequency to make sure that a game that can stress the gpu/cpu, doesn't readily shut down the console. Backing off frequency by 2% leading to a 10% power drop seems like the PS5 is using 10% more power for just ~200 more Mflops of gpu performance.
The Hovis method seems like a strategy to expand yield and reliability while Sony's seem like a strategy to up performance.

You all should do what I and my friends used to do as kids. We would go to the candy store and buy as much candy as possible. We would then use the candy as poker chips (we learned from our fathers who regularly played on the weekends). Once someone won all the candy, we spilt the candy evenly and enjoyed ourselves. LOL.
So take all the winnings and split it evenly among the wagers. Everybody wins!!! Yippeee

I talked with Rys and it's as Malo indicated, site donations need to be done out of band via Paypal at paypal@gpu.tools for any amount.
This will be worked out when we do a larger site upgrade to most recent version of XenForo. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Doesn't the Hovis method up the voltage where needed on certain chips? Wouldn't that effect reliability negatively on those chips?
The Hovis method build a power profile for each SOC and they control the component power to manage the SOC. This should allow a greater yield of chips in possibly and also those of higher quality grades will run at a lower power profile.
Overall you'll see some xbox one x, run at higher power and some at lower power. Some will have more fans running and others quieter.
I don't know how this power method will dictate yield. I don't know what happens when you get a shitty yield. Do you get less frequency? No clue. They seem adamant that everyone will get the same performance, but what if you need more than 100 W on a particular chip to achieve the same frequency as another chip?
Do we toss that chip? If yes, than yields and testing for yields are going to be more expensive.
Hovis allows you to use those chips without forcing every other chip to run at such high voltages which would affect reliability across the board.
