The latest AMD Ryzen 8000 "Strix Point" APU leak has been published which point out to 16 RDNA 3.5 GPU cores & 12 Zen 5 cores in a hybrid config.
Next gen Intel LGA1851 desktop CPU pictured
14.08.2023 - 07:21 / pcgamer.com
A picture of an upcoming LGA1851 desktop CPU has made its way onto the internet. Though a picture of a CPU that's a year or more from release isn't particularly amazing, what is interesting is that it appears to be a Meteor Lake sample. While Meteor Lake-S was seemingly canceled, the existence of CPUs such as these tells us Intel got a long way down the Meteor Lake-S development path.
The pictured CPU comes from @wxnod (via Videocardz). The CPU is definitely an LGA1851 sample as the notches near the edge of the chip align with schematics we've seen previously. What's interesting is the date of manufacture.
HKEPC shared the same picture but with the manufacturing date part of the Intel FPO code unblurred. In this case, it's D234. The 234 denotes the year and month of manufacture, so this CPU was manufactured in week 34 of 2022. That's just under a year ago. The D should refer to the country of manufacture, but I'm not sure what D stands for. Possibly the D1 fabs in Oregon? That's only a guess.
HKEPC says this is a Meteor Lake-S sample with a six P cores and eight E cores. An August 2022 manufacturing date would be too early for Arrow Lake-S, so if this is a Meteor Lake chip, It would fit with the manufacturing timeline.
If Meteor Lake-S has been canceled, why are there engineering samples about? The most obvious answer would be that these were made before the decision to cancel. Low yields, poor clock speeds or missed performance targets are all possible reasons for the cancellation. The Raptor Lake refresh (itself a refresh of 12th Gen Alder Lake) does feel like a stopgap measure.
Perhaps these chips are being used to assist motherboard manufacturers with the design of their LGA1851 motherboards. Or maybe they're being used as test vehicles for the Intel 4 process, the tile architecture, or Foveros packaging.
That's a lot of speculation from just a picture of a CPU. But while it's one thing to scrap a chip that's on the drawing board, it's another to scrap one that has reached the engineering sample stage.

The Difference Between JRPGs and the Rest of the RPG Genre
This discussion has been a long time coming. Since its inception, the term JRPG has been seen as a separate genre from the RPG, often used to identify RPGs that use turn-based combat. Along with this use comes the coming-of-age tropes that were (and still are) popular among Japanese audiences. Fast forward to the modern-day landscape, that term is still relevant and recognizable as a sub-genre of games that even Western developers have dipped their fingers into.

Intel's next-gen Battlemage GPU could take the fight to Nvidia's RTX 4080 after all
Remember that rumour Intel was scaling back on its plans for its next-gen Battlemage graphics architecture we reported last month? At the time we said something about it didn't square up. But now there's new, arguably more substantial, information that implies Intel hasn't reduced its ambitions for Battlemage at all. Intel's next Arc GPU could still be targeting performance up to Nvidia RTX 4080 levels.

People have used Bluetooth trackers to find their lost or stolen items like wallets, bikes, cars, and even potted plants and pets, while the police have used them to catch criminals. Thus, it is safe to say that the positives have outweighed the negatives so far.
