A community member of Hardwarelxx developed a mod for the black ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 to flash it with the Matrix VBIOS. Great work and nice to these kind of enthusiasm.

Review drop: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
Coming from the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, this is obviously not a sensible upgrade path, but even if it were, the higher power consumption is disproportionate to the additional performance.

No die shot today, but I did brick build an ASDS with a landed Falcon 9 booster today.
Would make a nice background addition to your filming set @djsnm.bsky.social.

For its announcement at CES, AMD provided a rendering of a Ryzen 9000X3D with two CCDs, each with 3D V-Cache, as marketing material. The same rendering had already been used for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D. Nevertheless, some interpreted this as a hint at the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2.

But I also want to question the installation and supply of gigantic data centers in this form.

DNP achieves 10 nm line-pattern resolution on nanoimprint lithography (NIL) template.
According to DNP NIL can replace a portion of the EUV process. The newest template uses Self-Aligned Double Patterning (SADP), which doubles pattern density.

The solvents in some thermal pads seem to dissolve the printing on the GDDR7 memory chips. For a moment, I thought the chips themselves were sticking to them.
