What A Dump Edition
What A Dump Edition
Tech News
- Fujitsu showed off a 48-core Arm processor aimed at supercomputing applications. (AnandTech)
Each of the 48 cores has a 512-bit vector floating point unit, and the chip is coupled to 32GB of HBM2 memory.
- AMD might finally be making a push into the small-format / NUC space. (AnandTech)
So far though all the systems use Ryzen embedded rather than laptop parts (as found in Intel's NUCs). Exactly why that is I don't know.
- Dual 10GbE, dual Thunderbolt 3, and a second-rate CPU. (Tom's Hardware)
The Gigabyte X299X Designare 10G. It's not cheap, but you probably don't want one anyway.
- I'm sure it's just an innocent mistake: WeChat censoring American users discussing Hong Kong. (TechDirt)
- I'm sure it's just... Yeah, no: Singapore is forcing Facebook to add "fake news" warnings to posts they don't like. (TechDirt)
Points to Facebook for their wording, though:Facebook is legally required to tell you that the Singapore government says this post has false information.
- What if a journalist got banned from Twitter and nobody cared? (TechDirt)
What goes around...
- Zen 4 is coming in 2021 on TSMC's 5nm process unless it isn't. (WCCFTech)
Big news in the article is that 5nm yield has already matched 7nm - and that 7nm yield is only 50%. That would explain why Nvidia aren't using it: Their chips are large and yield would be terrible. AMD's much smaller chiplets meanwhile are a perfect match.
It could also explain why there is no high-end Navi yet, just the short-lived Vega 7.
- Notepad won't be released on the Windows App Store after all. (ZDNet)
I bet it's an Epic exclusive.
