Daily Tech News 29 July 2024

Top Story

AMD's Zen 5 laptop chips are here. In particular, the (deep breath) Ryzen AI 9 HX 370.

Anandtech reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16.

Tom's Hardware reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16.

Notebook Check reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16.

And Phoronix reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16 - but this time under Linux.

You might be thinking that there are limited options available to the consumer at this precise moment, and you might be right.

This is a pretty good laptop and the benchmark scores are solid, but it lacks the Four Essential Keys so it is dead to me.

Tech News

AMD's desktop CPU delay might not be due to an issue with the chips, but an issue with the labels on the chips. (Tom's Hardware)

Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X samples have been spotted marked as Ryzen 9. If that's all it is, then it's still a thousand times better than anything Intel has done.
Like the latest report from Intel that the fatal CPU degradation problem affects mid-range 65W chips and not just the high-end parts previously listed. (Tom's Hardware)

So everything from the past two years could be toast, except the entry-level 13100 and 14100.
What's troubling is that Intel has not and will not issue a recall for the affected CPUs. It also hasn't halted processor sales pending the updated microcode rolling out.
Way to go, Intel.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard took this long because Bioware wanted to get it right. (WCCFTech)

The game looks terrible.
The New Internet. (Tailscale)

Okay, it's basically a sales pitch. But it's a sales pitch written by an engineer who's been in the industry for 25 or 30 years and who has seen some shit, man, and kids these days, let me tell you...

And I'm here for that.
