I would appreciate Intel NUC-style box with GPU equipped Ryzen Pro. I know about NUCs with Intel CPU and Vega M GPU but they seem to be too expensive.
Zotac might do it; they already have their ZBOX Magnus lineup with Ryzen 5-1400.

We recently started to purchase Ryzen 2700 for our office, and us used to be all Intel 4790K and Intel 7700K. These AMD CPUs are pretty great price for what you get and way faster than the similarly priced Intel CPUs for our needs.
We sort of make fun of the multi-colored CPU coolers that come with the CPU though. It seems weird to have these in business machines.
(We have also invested in another 16 AMD Threadrippers, they are just amazing power for the price. It is sort of weird that is less than 6 months, we have become an AMD shop after being Intel for as long as I can remember.)
What coolers did you have on your 4790K/7700K machines before?

The Intel Core i7 laptop series also features 6 core CPUs:
Core i7-8850H
Core i7-8750H
Core i7-8700T
Just not clocked as high as the i9.
I wonder if any of these 6 core laptop CPUs will have the AMD integrated graphics - it appears not at this moment. I was looking forward to that on an upgrade to my Dell XPS 15.
Who is getting the AMD integrated graphics CPUs then? Apple? I really wanted one in my Dell as I was hoping it would be faster and more power efficient than the NVIDIA 1050/1050 Ti.
The model numbers you're looking for are iX-8xxxG.
Dell are doing preorders on XPS15 2-in-1; HP doing same on the 15" Spectre x360.

I didn’t know about that attack. Thanks.
Probably a good time for this reminder: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb
>>> Bat bombs were an experimental World War II weapon developed by the United States. The bomb consisted of a bomb-shaped casing with over a thousand compartments, each containing a hibernating Mexican free-tailed bat with a small, timed incendiary bomb attached. Dropped from a bomber at dawn, the casings would deploy a parachute in mid-flight and open to release the bats, which would then roost in eaves and attics in a 20–40 mile radius. The incendiaries would start fires in inaccessible places in the largely wood and paper constructions of the Japanese cities that were the weapon's intended target.
>>>In one incident, the Carlsbad Army Airfield Auxiliary Air Base (32°15′39″N 104°13′45″W) near Carlsbad, New Mexico, was set on fire on May 15, 1943, when armed bats were accidentally released. The bats roosted under a fuel tank and incinerated the test range.
I got such a delicious feeling of Schadenfreude from this.
I've bought several things on recommendation from the Wirecutter, and repeatedly been disappointed, so this is not so surprising - what a shame.
I've bought a few things after reading their reviews, but since found a select few youtubers who seem more genuine (e.g. RocketJumpNinja for gaming mice).
Oh please bitcoin doesn’t even approach the carbon emissions of the US military. Nobody ever points that out.
It's certainly not helping to add another, growing source of heat/electricity to the mix.

Completely apropos to the article, but why is it that when I pressed ESC on my keyboard, the article redirected me to try & log in to Squarespace?
