I haven't gotten around to trying it but it's on my TODO list if having the time before needing to send the review unit back (likely next week or so I'd expect)

Right, unfortunately, was limited by the laptops I have on-hand for (re)testing... With routinely re-testing all laptops fresh, in this case on Ubuntu 25.04, not able to compare to prior dGPU-enabled laptops that since had to be returned to

I'll have more integrated graphics tests to come... Unfortunately I am a one-man show and only so much time to juggle everything. Initially focusing on CPU tests since they tend to be most trouble-free and reliable.

I haven't yet tested ECC with any Zen 5 desktop CPU. But yes in general with Zen 4 that ASRock Rack and Supermicro boards have worked out well. With time will try out ECC on Ryzen 9000 series.

It should be on the system table on the 2nd page. Its a bit small but SVG can zoom in. It was an ASUS ROG STRIX X670E with latest BIOS. Edit: but yeah I need to find a way to scale that table better to make it easier to read.

As I wrote in the article, it was privately developed the past 2+ years while being contracted by AMD during that time... In a private GitHub repo. Now that he's able to make it public / open-source, he squashed all the changes in

How is the title 'clickbait'? Calling It "LibreOffice Changing To Year.Month Based Versioning Scheme" or similar just makes it longer and less immediately clear... Really I honestly fail to see how it could be considered

Yep sadly most laptop vendors don't care much about Linux... Or the Linux laptop vendors and others that do offer review samples, want them back in 30 days. So really doesn't work for long-term comparisons like this... But as men

Tigerlake is the most recent Intel laptop CPUs to officially support AVX-512... Thus can't do an Intel AVX-512 on/off comparison with any newer Intel laptop. If you just want to see how the new AMD 7840U compares to a recent Intel
