Daily Tech News 29 July 2024

Top Story

AMD's Zen 5 laptop chips are here. In particular, the (deep breath) Ryzen AI 9 HX 370.

Anandtech reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16.

Tom's Hardware reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16.

Notebook Check reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16.

And Phoronix reviews the Asus Zenbook S 16 - but this time under Linux.

You might be thinking that there are limited options available to the consumer at this precise moment, and you might be right.

This is a pretty good laptop and the benchmark scores are solid, but it lacks the Four Essential Keys so it is dead to me.

Tech News

AMD's desktop CPU delay might not be due to an issue with the chips, but an issue with the labels on the chips. (Tom's Hardware)

Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X samples have been spotted marked as Ryzen 9. If that's all it is, then it's still a thousand times better than anything Intel has done.
Like the latest report from Intel that the fatal CPU degradation problem affects mid-range 65W chips and not just the high-end parts previously listed. (Tom's Hardware)

So everything from the past two years could be toast, except the entry-level 13100 and 14100.
What's troubling is that Intel has not and will not issue a recall for the affected CPUs. It also hasn't halted processor sales pending the updated microcode rolling out.
Way to go, Intel.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard took this long because Bioware wanted to get it right. (WCCFTech)

The game looks terrible.
The New Internet. (Tailscale)

Okay, it's basically a sales pitch. But it's a sales pitch written by an engineer who's been in the industry for 25 or 30 years and who has seen some shit, man, and kids these days, let me tell you...

And I'm here for that.

17 In the AMD Ryzen article at Toms Hardware, the "undoubtedly" in this claim seems to go too far--

"... it's possible that the erroneous markings may not be the only issue. However, it is undoubtedly a contributing factor."

--at least until AMD reports back ("We have contacted AMD for comment about the reports of mismarked chips, but a representative has said the company cannot comment beyond its previous announcement yet.")

Looks like good sleuthing, though.

37 My latest weird dream (thanks, melatonin): I woke in a bedroom that was huge, about the size of a boardroom, with windows on two sides covered in thin blinds. I'd heard a *thump* from the bedroom before I went to sleep, so I went to see. Turned out the toilet tank had slipped way down, much lower than usual. It still flushed; but I had to hold the tank up until it filled. Yeah, makes no sense.

Neither did this: Half my clothes were missing from my closet. Dressed in T-shirt and jeans, I went looking. Apparently I lived among a group of cabins, and I had the idea that the rest of my clothes were in one of them. But they were all occupied. And I was late for work.

When Arizona the red tabby was young, he caught a roach. I'd always heard they gave cats worms, so I tried to take it away from him. He growled at me. I said, "Okay, Cat, get sick."

61 It's been 3 years since I had cataract surgery on both eyes and it still astonishes me at the improvement in my vision--and I thought my vision prior to the surgery was excellent.

During recovery, there were times that I experienced sensory overload looking down range, from so much detail being available. I found it necessary to blink and refocus. This has diminished over time and no longer bothers though it was unsettling for while. A side benefit, my scores on the range improved noticeably.

I used to have "you didn't fulfill the three quarters of English classes requirement as an undergraduate so we are going to boot you out of our Ph.D. program" dreams. Those were not fun as awakening prompts.

Full disclosure: I took only one quarter of English because ny high school had required and offered sufficiently rigorous courses so that I entered upon my college career fully capable of writing, reading, and communicating all by myself. The true downside was that I had to read the execrable "Catcher in the Rye" during that single quarter class.

85 How do you know if you have one of the affected Intel chips?

-

From what I can tell it's a 13 or 14 series.

""Based on extensive analysis of Intel Core 13th/14th Gen desktop processors returned to us due to instability issues, we have determined that elevated operating voltage is causing instability issues in some 13th/14th Gen desktop processors. Our analysis of returned processors confirms that the elevated operating voltage is stemming from a microcode algorithm resulting in incorrect voltage requests to the processor.""

Which is funny because part of the marketing of these is to be able to overclock them.

Apparently they're releasing a patch, but if your processor is already misbehaving it won't do anything to fix it. I suspect it will be to cripple everyone elses processors they paid a premium for.

It's 13th and 14th generation Intel chips that Intel currently claims are affected.

Start = Home, right?

Speaking of which, my Home and End keys don't work on AoSHQ as consistently as I'd like.
