I haven't trusted AI since the beginning. Articles I once read now have so many misspellings I know they are AI generated or Voice Recognition blunders.  I like crime fighting but not at the cost of innocent people having to prove they didn't do something that "evidence" is at the very least questionable.  I'm angry now.  You don't want to accidentally detain me. I know too many lawyers that have bills to pay.

I don't think you'd want to deal with the heat, noise and battery life they produce at the wattages they're faster. Below 25w is necessary for quiet gaming. Arc G3 can achieve most of its performance at 18w-20w. Halo starts to take off at 35w+ and it's performance collapses below 25w.

However, the cut down 8 core halo 388+ does seem like an improvement:

People use their PC for many other things than gaming. We're not all 16y old cnuts like you.
