Daily Tech News 26 September 2025

Top Story

Raspberry Pi has announced the Raspberry Pi 500+, which is what everyone had hoped the Raspberry Pi 500 would be, but. (Raspberry Pi)

Specifically, it includes an M.2 slot - and comes with a 256GB M.2 SSD - so storage is many times faster than using microSD cards.

It also includes 16GB of RAM instead of 8GB on the Pi 500, and 4GB on the Pi 400.

If also has a mechanical keyboard. Including the Four Essential Keys, which the 400 and 500 are both missing.

Unfortunately, all this comes at a price: Compared with the $66 Pi 400 and $90 Pi 500, it costs $200. Not unreasonable given the capabilities and quality, but something that is not quite as easy an impulse buy.

Tech News

Meanwhile over at Beelink's online store, the Me Mini is selling at one third off MSRP - cut from $329 to just $209. (Beelink)

Since I was already considering one when supply reached Australia, and that comes with free shipping and a choice of power cords, I bought one. The blue model, in memory of the classic Cobalt Qube.

$209 for a six-drive M.2 NAS is a steal, and this seems to have fewer issues than some of the four-drive models. It's not a high-end solution with its Intel N150 CPU and 12GB of soldered RAM, but it's $200.
TikTok is being sold, with 45% of the US company going to a consortium headed by Oracle, Silverlake, and MBX. (The Verge)

35% will be held by investors in parent company ByteDance, and the remaining 20% will simply evaporate or something.
Zen 6 and apparently also Zen 7 are headed to current AMD motherboards. (YouTube)

According to latest leaks, not only next year's Zen 6, with up to 24 cores, but 2028's Zen 7 with up to 32 cores will be continuing on with current AM5 motherboards and chipsets, and DDR5 RAM.

Lots of discussion also on next-generation RDNA5 graphics - including low-end models that will use LPDDR5X or LPDDR6 memory instead of GDDR6/7, and interchangeable GPU chiplets.
