- Google has confirmed that leaked technical details of its search engine are genuine. (The Verge)
Experts believe this is likely to make Google Search worse, though they were unable to explain how this is possible.
Tech News
- Arm has announced its latest mobile CPU cores. (AnandTech)
Of note, the X925 is claimed to be 36% faster than Arm's fastest cores from last year, when built on the latest 3nm process (where last year's cores would have been 5nm).
That's a pretty decent gain, but my phone is five generations behind in CPU cores and works just fine.
- Leaked tests of the upcoming Ryzen 9000 show it faster than a 13900K but slower than a 14900K on single-threaded tests - 18.5% faster than Ryzen 7000. (Tom's Hardware)
While Intel holds the absolute speed record (for now), it did that by pushing 400W of power into eight fast cores. The new Ryzen cores may be very slightly slower, but a Ryzen CPU with sixteen fast cores uses half the power of an Intel CPU with just eight.
- Oh my God, you can't just say that: Construction of Intel's new 1nm fab in Germany has been delayed by "too much black soil". (Tom's Hardware)
That is, the site selected turns out to be first-rate farmland, and Germany has soil conservation laws that require all that soil to be... Something expensive and inconvenient. I don't know what exactly.
- Afnic has announced IBDNS, a DNS server that doesn't work. (Afnic)
Flaky DNS servers are a curse (there's a major Australian website that tries to force people onto its IPv6 address even if they're not connected to IPv6) so they've created one that is deliberately and controllably insane.
- Cheap at half the price: The Khadas Mind. (Serve the Home)
It's decent hardware, but you can get the same specs for half the price if you sacrifice 5% of the build quality.
