Daily Tech News 6 April 2023

Top Story

AMD's 7800X3D is here and it's the fastest gaming CPU around. (AnandTech)

Faster - and this is a little awkward, to be honest - than AMD's more expensive 7900X3D and 7950X3D.

Though to be clear, that's just for games. If you run 3D rendering or video processing or run parallel compiles on large software projects the higher-end CPUs will win, but for games the 7800X3D is the bees knees.

And while it outruns Intel's 13900K, it uses less power than the 13600K, two notches down the product stack, to do so.

I'm still inclined towards the 7900 (non-X) which is the most efficient of the high-end CPUs available, but the 7800X3D is also tempting.

No scores on CPUBenchmark.net as yet, but it's probably very close to the 7700X.

Tech News

Bob Lee, creator of Cash App, former CTO of payment platform Square, and SpaceX investor (among other minor startups), was stabbed to death in a fancy neighbourhood in Nancy Pelosi's district of San Francisco. (Tech Crunch)

Following the news, there was an outpouring of grief in the tech community, but they don't seem to have quite figured out that they are the ones destroying the city.
Western Digital got hacked. (Bleeping Computer)

The company's cloud-based services are offline, but the 32 aging 3TB drives I have in my second-hand Synology boxes keep chugging away. Well, mostly. I've had to replace a few.
If you have a Nexx internet-enabled garage door opener, well, first, why, and second, unplug that thing now. (Ars Technica)

Anyone, anywhere in the world, can find it and open the door.

Disclaimer: And then there were -1.
