- MSI's 5120x2160 34" ultrawide monitor is now shipping. (Tom's Hardware)
Announced back in May, it can now be yours for just $1199.
- AMD's leaked BIOS update has leaked. (Tom's Hardware)
That is, its existence leaked first, and now the BIOS itself, or at least a beta version. On the 3700X it immediately fixed the boost clock issue; on a 3900X results were mixed. But it does look like the problem with Ryzen 3000 not hitting its clock targets will get resolved.
- Michael Bloomberg is spending $160 million to get kids back to smoking cigarettes just like the good old days. (Axios)
- The 9th Circuit says not only are you allowed to scrape public websites, but they are not allowed to try to prevent you. (Hacker News)
The first part seems logical, the second part smacks of judicial overreach. I'll be looking for analysis of this because it's a pretty significant decision.
- If you need a 64-core server with 24 NVMe drive bays in a 2U form factor then today is your lucky day unless you also wanted to run 100GbE using a PCIe 3.0-only NIC. (Serve the Home)
Because it only has a PCIe 4.0 x8 slot free after everything else is accounted for.

So--Asus released an updated BIOS for my motherboard. I just applied it and ran Cinebench R20 single- and multi-CPU, and the results are pretty good. Multicore is the same as before: a sustained speed of 40.75-41x, with the cores individually bipping up and down one bin frequently, as measured by HWInfo64. Single-core is much better. Before I would essentially never see anything beyond 42.5x, although if I left HWInfo running long enough eventually I'd see one core's fastest speed hit 43, but it did it for such a short time I'd never see it in the "current" column.
Now, though, I've seen 3 cores hit 44x (the rated boost speed), one hit 43.75, and the last two hit 43.0. Not as good as I would have liked but close enough.
