    Geekbench Flags Intel iBOT Results as Potentially Invalid, Investigation Finds Vectorized Instructions Behind 30% Gains

    I'm almost sure that I read something to that effect by Wedge Antilles advising a rookie in a Star Wars novel. It went something like, you can complain all you want about the other side being unfair but guess who is still alive at the end?

    Yeah. Intel caught with its pants down. No idea why they keep doing that.

    Mismatching RAM

    You can run the stability test of this tool too: https://github.com/Baryka007/GearBench It errored out at 0.01% on my 12700K 7200 MT/s RAM profile, as it should because y-cruncher did the same. However, everything else (including Windows updates) seems to be fine.

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    That's where game trainers help. No burnout. Just good old plain fun. Separately, I can't believe there isn't a Boys game yet. Causing mayhem as Homelander would be sweet, sweet fun.

    Rumored Specs for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 Series Emerge with up 2x or More Performance Gains over RTX 50 Series

    Only problem is Jensen is not interested in that otherwise he would've done it already. He apparently likes being in the headspace of gamers (taking Geforces out of ovens and enjoying signing on the breasts of gamer fans).

    Rumored Specs for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 60 Series Emerge with up 2x or More Performance Gains over RTX 50 Series

    They should finally make it external, with its own PSU and user upgradable cooling, with only a bracket to plug into the PCIe slot.

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    Another thing is the GPU power discrepancy. The left one is more busy yet the less busy one on the right has the slightly better quality.

    Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition is Official: AMD Puts 3D V-Cache on Both Chiplets, Launches April 22

    Technically, you could do a multistation PC, with one CCD allocated to each user. Then you could stop the fighting in the house between kids :P

    Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition is Official: AMD Puts 3D V-Cache on Both Chiplets, Launches April 22

    They have said somewhere before that it helps AI workloads so that's their impetus for making it since it aligns well with their current strategy (AYE AYE!). I don't know if you saw Lisa's presentation for when we were expecting her to spill some details on Zen 5. It was 60+ minutes of her...

    People will imagine the benefits because there's more cache.

    But that lets out a lot of negative energy from disgruntled techies and it could affect future AMD stock performance :P Anyway, let's speculate on the pricing. I think it will be $799.

    Microsoft’s April 2026 Windows Update Ends Trust for Cross-Signed Kernel Drivers

    I care about virtual device drivers for RAM drives and possibly ISO mounters. I hope this does not make it impossible to use them.

    level1tech watching three ASROCK AM5 mobos like a hawk!

    That's not something I want to deal with. I'm not someone who can shrug off the death of someone or something (animate or inanimate). I would already be using it if that were not an issue for me. But it's still extremely troubling to me that AMD won't do anything about this mess of a situation...

    Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition is Official: AMD Puts 3D V-Cache on Both Chiplets, Launches April 22

    So two good reasons why they decided to hold off on this part. More power hungry (if you want max performance out of it) and lower boost clock. I guess these are valid reasons. But I wish they would've launched both at the same time and let the market decide on which one to keep making more of.
