Daily Tech News 21 May 2022

Top Story

One thing I hadn't considered closely with this move was Amazon deliveries. Turns out my free one day delivery now becomes free one week delivery. So if I need something right away I'm just out of luck.

Fortunately the new house is much, much bigger than my current place and I can just stockpile consumables, which hasn't been practical here. (Which is why I went for a much, much larger place.)
Cut off from Western* technology due to its ill-advised military adventure, Russia is turning to China for CPUs. (The Register)

Unfortunately for Russia, China's CPUs are dogshit.

On PassMark, the ZHAOXIN KaiXian KX-6640MA scores 1566.

That's just ahead of AMD's Phenom II X3 B75 from 2009 at 1560.

It doesn't compare so well with current AMD chips, like the 5700X which scores 26,384.

* Which somehow includes Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, but not Russia.
