[Computer assembly instructions] October 2018 (Intel's 8th generation processor is seriously out of stock, can not be resolved in a short period of time)

Recently, the price of the computer is very unstable, the CPU is out of stock and has risen sharply, and it cannot be solved in the short term.

First, expensive is not a problem, the problem is out of stock.
Intel cpu rose 30% in a month, this is really exaggerated, just i7-8700 has increased by 3,000 yuan, this is not tight, the focus is: out of stock!

But said that the goods are not really out of stock, but a small amount of arrival, supply is in short supply, the goods store is "the whole group of flights" before they are willing to sell cpu.

Second, should we switch to AMD?
Compared with the intel's big rise and out of stock, AMD's CPU is relatively cheaper, then it is necessary to modify AMD?
My current assembly situation is still dominated by Intel unless there are two conditions:
01) No Intel at all
02) Customer specified AMD

Intel is currently expensive. It will not cut prices in the short term, but I must say that AMD's CPU is cheaper than Intel. Intel has risen a lot. AMD has risen slightly. It is certainly good to change AMD, but it is actually more expensive than before.

My customers will ask for five years, to be stable and durable, then change AMD?
Seriously, I haven't set up AMD for a long time. Whether the new Ryzen series is durable, it will take time to prove.

Third, wait for the price to buy?
Cpu is so expensive now, many customers will say: wait for cpu to cut prices and buy again.
According to the report, Intel's out of stock will be missing all the way to the third quarter of 2019, which is equal to the shortage of goods for a whole year. Can you wait for one year?

In fact, since 2017, computer components have been rising in turn, and cpu has risen by 30%. This is not the most exaggerated. The most exaggerated is that memory in 2017 has risen by 10%, that is, it has risen by 100%, and it has risen for a whole year until the price of memory. In fact, it is still twice as expensive as 2016.

Later, there were SSD price increases, and the high-end graphics cards caused by the mining tide in early 2018 all went up and out of stock, and now the CPU is out of stock. Not to mention the next issue of new graphics cards that are definitely not cheap.

Fourth, the graphics card generation alternate transition period
At present, only the top-end RTX2080TI and RTX2080 are available in the 20 series. However, most commonly used cards are still in the middle and high-level categories such as 50, 60, and 70, but this level of cards is not yet available.

Because the new card has not yet come out, the old card 10 series is only a small drop, just back to the normal price.

You will ask: When will the 20 series mid-level graphics cards come out?
A: God knows.

V. Summary
The computer is expensive at present, but as long as it can be bought, it is OK. After all, users can choose not to buy.

I am afraid that I can't buy it with money. For example, I just want to set up Intel's CPU, but I don't really have one. I don't even have a plane. That is the most fearful.

Sixth, the golden sentence:

Previously: Buy early and enjoy early, buy at night.

Now: buy early and enjoy early, buy later is more expensive.

The ideal is beautiful: should the computer be cheaper?

The reality is cruel: how has the computer been rising? What a ghost is going up!

How to choose home lighting?

The brightness of the light source is enough, the focus is on vision and energy saving.
Yes, the focus of the home light source is first mentioned first. When we choose the lighting fixtures for home use, we are lost in the very bright thinking, but we ignore the vision, atmosphere, regional functionality, energy saving. These few points. In fact, we can use the color temperature of the lighting, the characteristics of the lighting, the design of the lighting in different areas, and match the lighting suitable for this area.

- Recommended reason: The chandelier design has a good visual sense, and the light transmission and light and shadow are strong. The light and shadow are reflected on the surrounding walls, showing the beauty of light.
- Color temperature recommendation: Use 2700K~3000K yellow light to present a gentle and comfortable light color
- Note: The installation position of the lamp and the distance from the door to open, need to pay attention to whether there is waterproof and moisture proof when installing on the balcony
 
2. Home lighting choice - living room, living room is the most frequent place to stay, the highest brightness demand

- Recommended reason: The living room pays attention to the brightness of the light source first. After the basic lighting has no problem, add the art lighting. If you don't like to install xenon lamps and don't make woodwork ceilings, you can use Japanese ceiling lamps directly to meet all the brightness needs.
- Color temperature recommendation: use 2700K~3000K yellow light to present a warm and harmonious atmosphere
- Note: Because the brightness of the light source is high, pay attention to the energy-saving effect of the lamp. Do not open the lamp full of the house, but invisibly cause the heat of the space environment to rise and the electricity cost to be depleted.

3. Home lighting options - kitchen, kitchen is a highly functional area, the light source needs to be accurately configured

- Recommended lighting fixtures: art lighting or downlight strip lighting
- Recommended reason: The dining table is a place to share food with family and friends. The use of art lighting can highlight the characteristics of the home. At the same time, the dining table can also be used as a work table. The lighting of the downlight is used to make the light source more concentrated and easy to work. usage of
- Color temperature recommendation: use 2700K-3000K yellow light, or 4000K natural light, whether it is better to enjoy food or work.
- Note: The installation position of the lamp should be aligned with the position of the table.

5. Home lighting options - bedroom, relax area, the light source does not need to be too bright, easy to relax
- Use the number of pings: Please select the basic lighting and art lighting according to the actual number of pings, the brightness is moderate
- Recommended for use of lamps: Xenon lamps in some areas, floor lamps, Japanese ceiling lamps (adjustable brightness and color temperature with remote control), bedside table lamp, bedside wall lamp
- Recommended reason: Excessive light source will cause additional stress, which will also affect the mood of drowsiness. If you need to read a book or a mobile phone, you can use the table lamp and wall lamp on the bedside as an aid.
- Color temperature recommendation: use 2700K-3000K yellow light
- Note: Use a chandelier or a ceiling lamp. Do not press the bed or the body at the installation position. It is suitable for installation at the foot of the bed.
