All Quiet On The Weastern Front Edition
Top Story
- Mostly quiet on the tech news front right now.
Microsoft gave Bing the Rosemary Kennedy treatment so there's no more fun there. D&D is still slowly circling the drain, but nobody wants to flush it down. Daily crypto disasters but measured in single-digit millions rather than double-digit billions.
Probably a good thing on the whole.
Tech News
- The world is suddenly swimming in cobalt, which is a bad idea because it's a toxic heavy metal. (The Economist)
Mostly thanks to the global don't-call-it-a-recession, not due to any new discoveries or technical advances.
- Micron's new 24Gb RAM chips have been picked up by Corsair to produce 24GB and 48GB modules. (Tom's Hardware)
Not official yet, but prices have leaked and the cost per gigabyte is exactly in line with existing 32GB modules. I was actually expecting a hefty premium for these.
- Need a couple of terabits per second of IO bandwidth in your desktop PC? ASRock has you covered. (Tom's Hardware)
Except they don't. That number comes from ASRock's own website but it's off by a factor of four. Half a terabit, sure. One terabit if you count both directions, I guess. Two terabits, two cards.
Apparently this quad M.2 PCIe 5.0 adaptor card will come bundled with their motherboard for the new Intel workstation CPUs, so I'll be looking for more details on that as well.
