Quick News

Not sure if anyone caught this trailer, only just seen it myself, but I think it's a really powerful demonstration of what AI can do for game design, in this case taking the incomplete and by gaming standards not particularly detailed data of satellite & photographic imagery and doing the base work for converting it into detailed and convincing 3D worlds, something that is not particularly complex but incredibly tedious for a human to do when you're on the scales of cities. Microsoft has been demo'ing Azure AI tech like this for quite a few years but I've never seen it used in a game so far.

A range of Passmark(https://www.cpubenchmark.net/) results have the 3600 beating the 9900K in both single & multithreaded benchmarks. Results seem legitimate and there are multiple tests done but also probably somewhat unrepresentative of real world performance and possibly with miss-reported clock speeds. If there are no errors here(Which I doubt) then this would make the 3600 the fastest single threaded CPU available, for this benchmark at least.

The fastest of the result's test bench reportedly only varies from the rest with its kit of low latency dual-channel 3200Mhz kit of memory which seems to offer a ~7% gain over the slower single channel setup but I think the "measure clock speed" must be off for this set of tests.

It's for Pokémon. A lot of fans were 50/50 of paying for a normal Switch just for it but I know they would happily pay a lower price model that does the same job. Not only that, but the mainline Pokémon games have always been on handhelds.
I remember when Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby came out, 3DS sales went through the roof.
 
Got this from HUB MSI are releasing new B450 and X470 boards with larger BIOS chips ans out of the box Ryzen 3000 series support and longer life going forward due to the much larger BIOS chips!
