Top Story

AMD's Zen 7 CPU is on its way with up to 16 cores per chiplet and 224MB of cache (including 3D V-cache), on TSMC's 1.4nm process. (WCCFTech)

In 2028.

Unless it isn't, in which case it's not.

Like Zen 6, which will arrive in servers this year, the desktop version is expected to remain on the existing AM5 platform, making for easy upgrades.

Does anyone actually like JavaScript library React? (JSX.LOL)

No.
That new Chinese GPU I made fun of recently for delivering a fraction of the performance of Nvidia's RTX 4060 (or as other tests have shown, of the even older RTX 3060) has booked 30,000 pre-orders worth around $15 million in two days. (Tom's Hardware)

I guess there's an untapped market for pain.
If you are running Ghost CMS the best time to upgrade was February 19. (Bleeping Computer)

The second best time is now. If your site still exists.

4 There was news. Nobody read it, went straight to making comments about it, and ended up calling each other names.

Carry on.

5 And now a message from the Cardboardtollah:

"...In different parts of Iran and the world, and after these blessed days, death to America and death to Israel will be the common slogan of the Islamic nation and the oppressed of the world, especially the youth. The future belongs to the Islamic nation and the new Islamic civilization..."

10 I tried to look up songs about firefighting, but either foreigners or AI (or foreigners using AI) have compiled lists where they seriously fail to comprehend even the most obvious metaphors for salacious womanizing, domestic strife, or international conflict.

It's terribly hot in India. To prevent the transformers from overheating, they're spraying them with water hoses. They also put in a fan.

According to them, it works, lol.

16 NEWS!!!

Researchers have built a quantum battery prototype that if scaled up to a functional size would only have to be charged every few years in under a minute by lasers that are not in contact with the battery. The EV communists immediately declared fossil fuel engines are so dead and started keying Teslas. It should be noted that the battery prototype is only able to hold a charge for a few billionths of a second which did nothing to tamp proclamations that this is a game changer.
