Benchmarks Show Firefox 57 Quantum Doing Well, But Chrome Largely Winning

With the hype this week around Firefox Quantum Beta with its user-interface refinements and more noticeably the performance improvements, I decided to run some benchmarks on my end with a variety of tests comparing Firefox 52 ESR, Firefox 56 stable, Firefox 57 Quantum beta, and Chrome 60. Here are those web browser benchmark results from the Linux x86-64 desktop.

Cooler Master Cosmos C700P - the 22kg MONSTER

Cooler Master Cosmos has an epic legacy that stretches back 25 years so it pleases us hugely to see the Cosmos C700P uses aluminium rails top and bottom that instantly remind us of the original design classic.

Naturally enough Cooler Master has brought the design screeching up to date with a tempered glass panel and a bunch of RGB lighting features. No high end case is complete without glass and RGB in 2017 however that is only the beginning of Cooler Master’s ambitions. There are two main thoughts behind the design of the Cosmos C700P that cause a certain amount of conflict. On the one hand it has interior panels that cover the drives and cables to keep the build immaculate and to focus your eyes on the motherboard, CPU, RAM and graphics. Balanced against that you can flip the interior over to enhance the cooling so your motherboard is mounted on the left side of the case and the GPU ends up above the CPU.

Intel's Core i9-7980XE and Core i9-7960X CPUs reviewed

On the bench today, we have the 16-core, 32-thread Core i9-7960X and the newest Extreme Edition CPU: the 18-core, 36-thread Core i9-7980XE. The Core i9-7960X is a core-for-core, thread-for-thread match against the Ryzen Threadripper 1950X, while the Core i9-7980XE lays claim to what is perhaps the highest core and thread count available in a "consumer" CPU today.

Of course, neither of these chips come cheap. The Core i9-7980XE lives up to its Extreme Edition lineage with an eye-popping $1999 sticker price, and the Core i9-7960X isn't far behind at $1699. These price tags put the highest-core-count Skylake-X CPUs in a somewhat uncomfortable spot for a couple reasons. For one, that kind of money for a CPU is well within workstation-class territory, but neither of these CPUs do anything to address Threadrippers' higher CPU PCIe lane complement or ECC RAM support. Recall that Threadripper CPUs and the X399 platform have both ECC RAM support and 60 PCIe 3.0 lanes directly connected to the CPU. Those resources are available from every Threadripper, too.

TUNAI DRUM High-Resolution Bass Enhanced Audiophile Earphone Review

I put my hand up and admit that I was once a snob when it came to earphones, I had thought that getting a pair of good earphones meant I had to splash out a few bucks, but that all changed when I stumbled across a pair of Piston 3’s from Xiaomi a year or so ago when my regular earphones broke down after being in the washing machine too many times.

TUNAI is a relatively new Taiwan company looking to bring out audio products to the mass market that are not only innovative, but also not having to break the bank. Their first product was the FIREFLY, previewed at CES 2015, being one of, if not the smallest Bluetooth receiver in the world…..and all coming in at under US$35!
