takyon writes:AMD announced its first Zen 3 (Ryzen 5000 series) desktop CPUs on October 8.Compared to Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000 series) CPUs, the Zen 3 microarchitecture has higher boost clocks and around 19% higher instructions per clock. A unified core complex die (CCD) allows 8 cores to access up to 32 MB of L3 cache, instead of two groups of 4 cores accessing 16 MB each, leading to lower latency and more cache available for any particular core. TDPs are the same as the previous generation, leading to a 24% increase in performance per Watt.AMD estimates a 26% average increase in gaming performance at 1080p resolution, with the Zen 3 CPUs beating or tying Intel's best CPUs in most games.Ryzen 9 5950X, 16 cores, 32 threads, boosts up to 4.9 GHz, 105W TDP, $800.

looorg writes:Is Microsoft dropping the subscription model? Next year they'll once again offer Office as a stand-alone product without the need for a monthly subscription payment. You probably won't actually save any money since it will probably cost as much as many months of subs but still it could be nice or an interesting step away, or as a supplement to, the subscription based model. Perhaps it's not all that it's cracked up to be.Is this a way for MS to try and recapture all the users that decided to switch to one of the non-subscription based Office alternatives (e.g. OpenOffice) Because they wouldn't offer this if all was fine in subscription land.New version of Microsoft Office won't require you to pay for a subscription.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
