BGA Venting Thread ;)

No idea never used a P4.

If age is the question, Haswell is nearly 10 years old and they are capable of nearly anything a general consumer can think of. My mother is still using a 3632qm for her income which typically tops off in the 6 figures. Not to mention mpcie never reached saturation of its bandwidth in terms of its main use case being WiFi cards which still still top off at around 2.5Gb/s which the majority of home routers are still 100Mb/s for people that dont care and 1Gb/s for most while those that do care are probably 2.5Gb/s or just sticking to 1Gb/s and enriching their own intranet infrastructure. You'll notice that 5Gb/s wasnt a part of the discussion yet, and its deprecated regardless.

Thats before you think about MXM, storage and RAM etc etc

 

yep and boi does it lag

and to top that off, majority of wifi cards are intel and they got a ton of issues.
