Daily Tech News 10 July 2026

Top Story

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.

Tech News

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.

24 Psalm 93:

93 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

4 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.

25 Evening and morning, late toilers and early risers. 'Tis Friday at last, the consummation devoutly to be wished!

Fen, congrats on the new kitten, Millard! Depending on his age, he might well miss his siblings and mother. Stirling's mother had died a while before I adopted him, I was told, and he must have been human-raised, as he has always been attached to people. During his first summer with me he insisted on springing into bed with me every morning and milk-treading my arm (tiny claws -- ouch!). He still does that every day or so at age four. So Millard may be very attached to you and your son.

29 Anyway! Temps are down a fraction here, but I'm not going out in it now. Miss Linda and I will go to the nearby mall at ten to walk vigorously before the stores open.

Before that I have another video tour, of a house I looked at in May but am reconsidering now. I've never gone "That's perfect!" the way I did with the one I put the offer on, and so I'm not very sanguine, but who knows.

I'd love to be there and walk through these places myself, but I really can't yet. I tried that in Kansas and ended up spending money and putting wear and tear on me and my car. Yes, moving to an apartment in my prospective area is an option, though a poor one. The dough I'd spend on deposits, pet deposits, pet rent, rent, and moving or storing my furniture would be better put on the house itself. But I may have to.

I walked through Bedford-Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane"
