- Metacritic sees its new role as defending terrible games that no-one likes. (Engadget)
Mere mortals who actually paid for the game will be required to wait 36 hours before submitting their reviews. The useful idiots of the gaming press are under no such restrictions, of course.
- You can't get the Ryzen 4000 desktop APUs just yet, but that hasn't stopped people overclocking them. (Tom's Hardware)
In this case the victim was a 4750G Pro and the target was the memory bus, which got cranked all the way up to 6234 MHz. That's quite a lot.
The 4000 series APUs are designed to work in laptops with soldered LPDDR4X memory at 4266MHz, so evidently the memory controller has been significantly upgraded. Another 3% and it will be at DDR5 speeds.
- Meanwhile ASRock looks set to release an updated embedded computer board based on Ryzen 4000 laptop parts. (Tom's Hardware)
Their existing embedded boards are based on Ryzen Embedded processors, which are first-generation 14nm parts. Not bad, but both significantly slower and more power-hungry than the latest chips.
- 10.16 == 11 if you're Apple. (Eclectic Light)
Apps running the latest version of MacOS will return the OS version as either 10.16 or 11 depending on how they are compiled. That's not going to cause any problems.
- Sabrent has a 4TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSD available for just... US$750? (Tom's Hardware)
I mean, the price isn't terrible, but - wait, QLC? Hell no.
