Van Gogh, AMD's Steam Deck APU (2023)

Zen 2’s launch was a defining moment for AMD. For the first time in many, many years, AMD’s single thread performance could go head to head with Intel’s best. Zen 2 also started a trend where AMD brought up to 16 cores to desktop CPUs, giving consumers very strong multithreaded performance without having to buy HEDT platforms. But Zen 2 was also flexible and did a very good job of scaling down to lower power targets. That was especially true when Zen 2 cores were implemented in more power effic

Asana warns MCP AI feature exposed customer data to other orgs

Work management platform Asana is warning users of its new Model Context Protocol (MCP) feature that a flaw in its implementation potentially led to data exposure from their instances to other users and vice versa. The data exposure was due to a logic flaw in the MCP system and not the result of a hack, but the risk that arises from the incident could still be significant in some cases. Asana is a project and task management SaaS platform used by organizations to plan, track, and manage work,

AMD's Pre-Zen Interconnect: Testing Trinity's Northbridge

Today, AMD’s Infinity Fabric interconnect is ubiquitous across the company’s lineup. Infinity Fabric provides well-defined interfaces to a transport layer, and lets different functional blocks treat the interconnect as a black box. The system worked well enough to let AMD create integrated GPU products all the way from the Steam Deck’s tiny van Gogh APU, to giant systems packing four MI300A chips. Across all those offerings, Infinity Fabric enables coherent memory access as CPU and GPU requests

AMD Ryzen 7 9700F could launch under $300 as budget Zen 5 chip without integrated graphics

Something to look forward to: AMD is expected to launch a new Ryzen 9000-series CPU without integrated graphics. The chip, recently mentioned in AGESA version 1.2.0.3e BIOS updates, has now been identified by a tipster as the Ryzen 7 9700F, which is based on Granite Ridge silicon. Replying to tipster @9550pro's X post about the upcoming Ryzen 9000 CPU, leaker @Zed_Wang claimed that it is likely to be the Ryzen 7 9700F. Built for the AM5 platform, it will reportedly pack eight Zen 5 cores and 16

Traces of Toxic Industrial Chemical Found in U.S. Air for the First Time

Americans’ air is teeming with all sorts of known toxin pollutants—now scientists have found a new one to add to the list. Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder detailed their discovery in a study published earlier this month. They sampled agricultural sites in Oklahoma and found clear traces of medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) in the surrounding air. The health effects of MCCPs on people are still being studied, though countries are already planning to debate whether thes
