• Nvidia's share price is down by 15% - from a recent peak of $117 squintillion - as it succumbs to the memory price hikes it caused for everybody else.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  Good work, Jensen.
  
  
  
• Meanwhile new ULL - ultra-low latency - memory for AMD systems offers up to a 4% speed boost.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  For only double the price.
  
  
  
• Turns out you can upgrade the RAM in your PlayStation - and it's not even expensive.  (Notebook Check)
  
  That only gets from from 2MB to 16MB.
  
  Yes, of course we're talking about the PlayStation One.

• AMD has confirmed it will be launching its new Zen 6 processor family this month, at an event on July 22 and 23.  (WCCFTech)
  
  Launching, not selling.  And the event will be exclusively for server chips, with a likely six month delay before we see them for the desktop.  But performance of the server versions will give us a very good idea of what to expect in consumer models, because the core designs - and even the chiplets - are identical.  The server versions just wire up more chiplets.
  
  
  
• While we wait for Zen 6, AMD has raised the shuddering zombie of Zen 2 to keep us entertained.  (Tom's Hardware)
  
  The 4700LE is a 4700G without the G - the integrated graphics.
  
  I don't know why; it just is.
  
  
  
• OpenAI's Atlas browser on the other hand is not.  (Tech Crunch)
  
  Launched in October, the candle that burned half as bright was promptly cancelled.
  
  
  
• AMD has also announced eleven new Zen 4 laptop parts.  (WCCFTech)
  
  New as in that precise marketable configuration; there is nothing new about the technology.  But I'm writing this on a Zen 3 chip and Zen 4 is markedly better.
