I genuinely think they sit around on a Friday afternoon, in a haribo kids & grownups advert kind of way and go,

“Ok people we need some cool names to go with our lake naming theme”

"Erm rockets are cool” "Yeah! Rockets (rocket noises)” ok good what else? “ICE!” Yes ice is cool, not quite the cool we are after but we’ll use it. Anyone else?”
“I know Tigers! (Tiger sounds)” “ooh tigers are epic, that’s epic with an I, sorry boss”

-tumble weed-

"Ok everyone, let’s call it a day there.”

Wake me when they have something more interesting to show off.

Intel's average price on the desktop is also up because the company has a shortage of low end parts. There are sales that simply aren't happening or are going over to AMD because Intel can't supply silicon.

One of the few things that has come out of the current lockdown is the availability of online maths lessons. I suggest looking them up :p

Intel has completely lost its marbles this year, what's up with these names?

Looks like some of the specs have been announced. Can this even be called an upgrade...? Underwhelming.

I'm still rocking a 3770K @4.4 16gb@2000mhz, an RX 580 8GB@1450, at 1080p, it plays most game at a mix of medium/high/ultra, I've still no Ryzen to upgrade yet, till I buy a new graphics card and monitor, then it will be AMD, min 8 core :)
