> A weeks ago, my friends and I were talking about the inner workings of Zen 5. We were talking about how the CPUID instruction works, and how AMD MSRs are technically editable if you ask the processor nicely.

As do we all.

By 'talk' I suspect he means discord and by friends he means display names. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I catch myself saying 'talk' when I'm talking about something a friend told me over chat.

How does that distinction matter here?
kinematikk•9m ago
It’s a different situation if you are researching something and chatting about that vs talking about something while in a bar for example

I don't know about your friends, but as we're on HN, I'm sure others here have friends like mine, who absolutely have conversations about how the low level shit that facilitates our world works.

Idk all my friends are alcoholics and we only talk about stupid stuff

Where do you think this stuff [1] is cooked up? To be fair, we mostly use Signal though.

This is exactly the kind of conversation I can have with some coworkers and in some Discord channels. Aren't people awesome?

> I feel badly for all of the people who may have held off on a 9800X3D purchase because of this Passmark that we thought wouldn't work.

I'm considering a new build soon, but RAM prices are out of control, like they've more than doubled since June! (Damn AI bubble...) I guess I'll have to get by with my Ryzen 1800X a bit longer.

You can likely put a 5800X3D or 5700X3D in the same motherboard and get a massive performance upgrade
mikepurvis•55m ago
I’m rocking an AM4 build still and very happy with the bump I got from going to a 5800X and maxing out the RAM (primarily for productivity use rather than gaming).

5700X3D is great for gaming, but for programming 5900XT will be nicer. You can run make -j32 :)

Journalism is thrash and journalists are happy to lie about anything if they have the smallest amount of plausible deniability.

>Journalism is a crucial part for a free world.

Good, free journalism that tries to tell the truth. Otherwise, even North Korea needs journalism.

BSDobelix•28m ago
Tech/Game/Movie journalism is mostly trash because they are like a external Spokesperson for the paying business, often they even get the text that they should publish.

However calling all journalists "trash" i wildly unfair for people like Scott Horton, Patrik Baab or David Talbot....and manymany more.

PaulKeeble•34m ago
Passmark is clearly going to have to do a security pass on its CPU information now to make this at least a little bit harder!

I was hoping for a slightly budgetier X3D chip but I went and got a plain 9700 a few months ago. I realized I probably don't need the performance and the extra power budget/efficiency of using a 65W chip was nice.

Clearly there's a market for a 9700X3D though!
