I suspect this will go into the next generation of consoles too. Both xbox and ps4 (also pro and x version) contain the old jaguar core from amd. But what's up with the single channel ram in the ibm one? Both of the others have dual-channel.

Yeah that AMD managed to land the supply contract for both Sony and Microsoft is a big deal.

To be fair, The Register is good at UK/Oz/storage news, as well as puns - if those don't interest you, it's probably not worth reading. Also not sure what level of "journalistic quality" you're expecting from El Reg? Or any news outlet for that matter.

How about writing and publishing actual facts rather than hit pieces? I've seen El Reg push out several articles about non-UK things that were patently wrong -- and that their userbase ripped them for. No apology, no retraction, no update.

ElReg is The Sun for computers, down to the color scheme and headlines with a word capitalised at random.

AMD finally turned a profit this quarter! Plus, though slow consoles and crypto will hurt a little, that's really only their existing business. Their future is in their new and competitive product lineup from this year. Epyc particularly should be very good for AMD if it can gain momentum: expensive server CPUs that AMD can manufacture cost-efficiently, and which are competitive with or straightforwardly better than…

This week: Sony profits rise 346% thanks to strong performance from PlayStation gaming unit Next week: New Xbox and new Playstation will be released. I don't get how they can claim that consoles will slow down.

I know about the Xbox one x, but where did you hear about a new PlayStation being released or announced?

Pray tell, why then?

It happened just a few weeks ago with Shopify and the Citron Report. The Citron Report's author often finds stocks that have gone up, places shorts, and then promotes the idea that these companies are scams with no fundamental value. He's made a considerable amount of money doing this.

That should land you in jail.

Interesting, I didn't know that. Does this have a name ? a reverse insider fraud ?

No it shouldn't. The entire liquid stock market exists to make it possible for people to identify incorrect prices and make money by correcting them.

The charge (amongst others) that caused her to serve time in jail was 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (making false statements to federal investigators).

The why was most likely insider trading allegations.

I'm commenting on these things right now because I still didn't buy a laptop and need one soon/now. There's no ryzen based laptop atm (regional limits might apply). One Asus gaming laptop that is basically a desktop that you can carry around, with effort, and that has no battery life to speak of. Not available here. Two Lenovo laptops (Thinkpad A series and Ideapad), both seem restricted in terms of CPU (aka not the…

I'm on a similar situation. I'm looking for a smallish, throw-into-any-backback-and-carry-everywhere laptop. The new chips are interesting, but the few launch devices all have one flaw or another.

Fortunately, I can live without such a laptop, for now. I'll just keep an eye out for updates.

Wow, there are quite a number of tricks to monitor. I don't know how they handle it in reality.

This seems a clear case of bashing .. and if so, it means the article is a compliment to AMD.
