Intel sheepishly admitted it's completely giving up on optane when
asked about it by tom's hardware ceo pat gelsinger beat around the bush saying we
continue to rationalize our portfolio in support of our idm 2.0 strategy this
includes evaluating divesting businesses that are either not sufficiently
profitable or are not core to our strategic objectives truly a great
eulogy if i've ever heard one optane memory had been used to create storage
and memory products since 2015 but they discontinued consumer ssds in january
2021 to focus on enterprise products like persistent RAM for data centers
and i guess the team didn't even know because just last week they showed off
initial tests of their new ddr5 obtained modules which carried the foreboding
code name crowspass
they're passed now as gelsinger pointed out in the call this marks the sixth
non-core Intel business that he's either sold or shuttered since taking on the
role of ceo in february 2021 including selling Intel's drone business to elon

for the new am5 socketed ryzen 7000
processors according to video cards the ryzen 9 7950x and 7900x
ryzen 7 700x and ryzen 5 7600x were all
tagged in the marketing resource file for ryzen pro CPU
mysteriously absent were the ryzen 7 70 800 x and any mention of a ryzen 3 CPU
but only starting with four processors really keeps with the ninja turtles
theme of the 7000 series with am5 no longer on the horizon but instead
hanging just out of reach like some sort of cruel CPU pinata is it time we ask
ourselves if we actually need that much computer
at computex back in may AMD shared benchmarks of some rafael cpus and let
the world know to expect processors that use 170 watt tdps and it appears these
ryzen 9s are the processors they were referring to since NVIDIA's upcoming
4000 series of gpus are already expected to be guzzling back double the amount of
juicy delicious electrons as their 3000 series counterparts this could be
setting a dangerous precedent for gaming pcs where power efficiency takes a back
seat to well everything else your next
