• AMD's Ryzen 7000 range looks set to go zoom. (WCCFTech)
  
  The new top of the line 7950X has a base clock speed of 4.5GHz and a maximum speed of 5.7GHz. The current 5950X has a much more sedate base speed of 3.4GHz and a top speed of 4.9GHz.
  
  Coupled with a 15% improvement in performance per clock that should result in some speedy chips.
  
  
  

• Ryzen 7000 may have limited overclocking potential. (Hot Hardware)
  
  They're already going to 5.7GHz. What do you want?
  
  
  
• Motherboard makers are showing off their upcoming motherboards for Ryzen 7000. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  Which seems like a sensible thing to do.
  
  
  
• Speaking of chips they just doubled in price in Australia. (MSN)

• Oh, and interest rates are up again, so I have that going for me, which is nice.
  
  
  
• GitLab is not going to delete projects that aren't updated for a year. (The Register)
  
  Which is good, but you have to wonder how such an obviously stupid decision got off the ground in the first place.
  
  
  
• Chinese crapware makers Tencent are looking to buy a majority stake in Ubisoft. (Hot Hardware)
  
  Not sure if that will make Ubisoft better or worse.
