@Sebasti66855537 @wccftech … where’s all of the history between Netburst/K8 and Zen 2? That wasn’t exactly a boring period
English

Just published an article on @wccftech regarding the evolution of CPU architectures, from the Intel 4004 to the modern SoCs of today. I hope that you learn about CPUs from it as much as I did, if not more! Article link: wccftech.com/the-evolution-…

Happy to report that DHL did deliver my package in the end.

DHL somehow gave me someone else's package... which was a wig instead of the two Sapphire Rapids Xeons I ordered...

@ashley_primo @godsgreatgooner @kerbalsrcool @endermanch I see a SATA power connector - I don’t think they’re using any of the slot connections for this.
English

@brutuscat2 @godsgreatgooner @kerbalsrcool @endermanch It’s just using the power pins, but yes — not actually communicating via the the DIMM slot

@celardor04 @ryanshrout It appears to be socketed - the LPDDR is on daughterboards.

@GPUsAreMagic That's a bit odd - I had zero issues getting my 32:9 4K monitor to work fine over HDMI. DisplayPort was completely broken though...

End of first day of dailying the B580 - yeah right the display engine is still a heap of trash that barely works.
Turn on 4K120 TV - its 4k30, switch to 120Hz it switches to 1080p, switch to 4K it goes back to 30Hz, disable->enable, same thing. Had to replug the HDMI cable.
Nemez@GPUsAreMagic
So far I have nothing broken (other than just overall performance) to report, impressive.

@johnrheritage @DOGE @SocialSecurity I'd argue that 2FA is largely just virtue signaling, but that's a topic for another day ;)
English

This is inaccurate and misleading.
@SocialSecurity is protecting our seniors by ensuring bank accounts aren’t changed with little to no authentication.
Approx. 40% of Social Security direct deposit fraud is associated with fraudsters calling SSA on the phone and changing the direct deposit bank account from the correct one to a fraudulent one.
Starting on March 29, in order to change the direct deposit bank account, one can:
-Change it online using 2FA (Call Center Technicians available to assist beneficiaries with website)
-Change it in person at a SSA Service Center
This is identical to the fraud protections at almost all major banks, where deposit changes are made either online or in person.
All other SSA phone services remain unchanged.

More GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition mysteries revealed: backside of the PCB trib.al/H6y3PpE

English

@aschilling It proves they can make such backward compatibile processors but they don't.

@unikoshardware @wabs_ It's probably one massive 12v plane along with some signaling. I doubt each connector is separated out inside.
English

@wabs_ the first btf3.0 mobo is from colorful.
although that is still an engineering sample.
that btf3.0 psu seems to be from brands other than asus.
i wonder why it is 50pin instead of 48pin
dual cpu 8pin = 16pin
12vo atx = 16pin
12v2x6 = 16pin
English

congrats to diyape!
btf3.0 is finalised, no cables between psu and mobo and gpu.
it needs whole new types of psu and mobo and case that comply with btf3.0.
all connectors on mobos are at the back of the pcb.
12vo mobo confirmed, with a new header that has 50pin to replace the traditional eps cpu dual 8pin and atx24pin (12vo 16pin) as well as 12v2x6.
that 50pin is rated at ~ 1500w max.
if you dont have any sata devices, you just have to connect cables from case front panel and cables of fans/pump/rgb/argb.

the diy-ape guy, 远古时代装机猿, is pushing back connector mobo even further to 3.0 edition 3.0 is like having a special connector for eps cpu + atx10/24pin the sata 4pin seems to be atx12vo thing back connector design z890 matx with four m.2 slots colorful mobo + asus's gc_hpwr
