- Asus announces a Xeon E workstation motherboard, the WS C246 Pro.
A notable point is the presence of four PCIe x16 slots and two M.2 SSD slots. That's a theoretical 72 PCIe lanes, where the Xeon E provides a total of 16 (plus four dedicated to the chipset).
Ryzen is only slightly better (16 + 4 chipset + 4 M.2), but AMD's EPYC offers 128 lanes. Go EPYC or go home. (AnandTech)
- RPG Maker MV is coming to the Xbox, PS4, and Switch. It already supports Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and web. (I've tinkered with it a little, and the web player seems to work pretty well.) Release date November in Japan, 2019 for the rest of the world. (Nintendo Life)
Here's a launch video that shows you absolutely nothing about the application or the games it can produce.
The original trailer gives you a slightly more realistic view.
It's 73% off at Humble Bundle right now.
- Google accidentally removed the (extremely popular) Metamask Ethereum wallet app from their Play Store - while leaving a fake app in place. (Bleeping Computer)
- Xeon Phi is officially dead now, rather than just dying, as it has been since launch. This is not Intel's Xeon server CPUs, which are raking in cash hand-over-chip, but a separate line of failed GPGPUCPUs that no-one ever wanted. (The Next Platform)
- Twitter's stock tumbles 21% as investors begin to notice that the company is run by idiots. (MarketWatch)
