Oops No Intel Edition
Top Story
- Intel is no longer among the top ten chipmakers, says... Intel's new CEO. (The Register)
Not with that attitude.
It's not entirely clear what he's talking about, but we can guess. Intel is in the top three in terms of revenue, but not even in the top ten in terms of market cap. Years of losses have left it with a valuation just half that of key competitor AMD.
AMD of course spent years in the doldrums before starting a spectacular path to recovery in 2017 with the introduction of the Zen family of CPU cores.
Tech News
- Speaking of Zen, Zen 6 engineering samples are already shipping. (WCCFTech)
That seems pretty early if they're targeting a late 2026 release.
- And speaking of Zen 6, I previously missed these leaked slides of Zen 6 server specs. (WCCFTech)
Or did I? Anyway, up to 16 channels of DDR5-12800 memory using MRDIMMs - so about 2.5x current bandwidth, plus 128 lanes of PCIe 6.0 for I/O. And 256 cores.
Per CPU.
- Don't use Postgres LISTEN/NOTIFY streams. (Recall)
When you issue a NOTIFY it can lock the entire database.
That's bad.
- Centerville, Ohio, is not scanning your trash and feeding the data into an AI to issue notices that you are a poopy-head. (Dayton Daily News)
They're scanning your recycling and feeding the data into AI.
Which seems more reasonable to me. If you're putting stuff into the recycling bin that can't be recycled, that's more of an active nuisance than sending stuff to landfill that might have been recycled.
- The LPDDR6 standard for phone and laptop memory has been released. (Hot Hardware)
LPDDR6 starts out at the same clock speeds as current LPDDR5X, but is effectively 50% faster by virtue of being 50% wider - the channels are now 24 bits wide rather than 16.
Probably Not Tech News
Made In Rockford
Well, it's technically called Ruri Rocks, but given our heroine is lusting in her heart for an Estwing geological hammer, I think my name is better. Hardly anybody dies in this one. Might lose interest after a while but the art is very pretty.
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra
Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra
Our deceased hero is trapped inside a 4X strategy game rather than the usual RPG, but still meh.
Cultural Exchange with a Game Center Girl
Also meh.
Detectives These Days Are Crazy
Also also meh.
Dekin no Mogura
This has a lower rating on Crunchyroll than the above three, but in my opinion it's actually better. It's the story of a guy - Mogura - tossed out of the afterlife; he can't die (since I guess he's already dead) but he can still age and get sick or injured. He's an un-person making his way in modern-day Japan for at least the past hundred years.
I'll give this one another episode.

With You and the Rain
A young woman walking home in the rain finds an abandoned, uh, dog, and takes it home. 11/10.

I expect a lot of false positives from the Centerville program. Also a leak within six months revealing personal information on everyone they've been scolding.
As long as they don't end up ordering residents to use six different bins to fully-separate their recyclables, I'm sure most people in Centerville will put up with it and not start burning trucks.

Wild, I was thinking of exactly that video on the ride in this morning.

I'd like to change my order, please; I'll have a photo opportunity with my refrigerated tungsten cube. Thank you...
