Tech News
- Intel has released Skylake-X refresh, their quote ninth unquote generation high end desktop parts. (AnandTech)
Highlights of the new processor family are solder. Oh, and there's no crappy low-end part with only 28 PCIe lanes.
Intel 12 core part: $1189. AMD 12 core part: $649. In fact, you can get last year's 12 core Threadripper 1920X on Amazon for $415, though it's out of stock and not expected back in until next week.
- Internet traffic destined for Google from some parts of the world got rerouted to China via Nigeria whereupon it ran smack into the Great Firewall and expired. (ZDNet)
This is not good, but it got detected immediately and the only real result was that some people couldn't access Google for 90 minutes. In this instance.
- Apple's T2 chip, the chip that prevents you from installing Linux (Phoronix), the chip that causes random kernel panics (Hot Hardware), the chip that locks your laptop irreversibly if it you reinstall MacOS the wrong way (Apple), the chip that makes all your data unrecoverable if any part of the logic board fails (Digital Trends)...
Where was I? Oh yes. Will brick your expensive new computer if you have it repaired by an unauthorised technician. (Ars Technica)
World's. First. Trillion. Dollar. Company. (Not adjusted for inflation.)

I've decided if I had the ability to travel back in time, I would skip killing Hitler in favor of beating up the person who first came up with the phrase "dunking on".
In other news, I was doing some measurements on my work PC, a Dell i7-8700, with a 65W TDP, and yes, that TDP is enforced vigorously.
The 8700's single-core max turbo is 4.6, with an all-core 4.3, and a base of 3.2. A Prime95 blend torture test will hit ~64.9W and the cores will immediately settle in at around 3.7-3.8. I didn't bother letting it run for very long. The Small FFT test really is a torture test--it'll force the chip to downclock to the base (3.2) speed.
