Mysteriously absent were the ryzen 7 70 800 x and any mention of a ryzen 3 cpu, but only starting with four processors really keeps with the ninja turtles theme of the 7000 series, with am5 no longer on the horizon, but instead hanging just out of reach. Like some sort of cruel, cpu pinata is it time we ask ourselves if we actually need that much computer at computex back in may amd shared benchmarks of some rafael cpus and let the world know to expect processors that use 170 watt tdps, and it appears these Ryzen 9s are the processors they were referring to since nvidia’s.
Upcoming 4000 series of gpus are already expected to be guzzling back double the amount of juicy delicious electrons as their 3000 series counterparts. This could be setting a dangerous precedent for gaming, pcs, where power efficiency takes a back seat to well everything else.

What earlier this week, russia announced they were done with the international space station as soon as their cooperation agreement was up in 2024, but now they’re saying i guess it’s good enough.
Until we get our own russia space agency, ross cosmos has indicated that they wish to remain in the cooperative agreement until their own orbital outpost named ross is completed.

A mechanical engineer from virginia tech found that by coupling a retractive adhesive with a pneumatically controlled membrane, they were able to create a glove that mimics an octopuses gripping abilities.
