The 9950X3D gives the gaming king a real run for its money

AMD's 9800X3D and 9950X3D CPUs are contenders for the best gaming CPU in 2025, with the 9950X3D being the more premium option.
The 9950X3D provides double the cores, thread support, more cache, higher clock speed, and TDP compared to the 9800X3D.
Despite its specifications, the 9950X3D does not offer a significant advantage in gaming over the 9800X3D, with both CPUs performing similarly in gaming tests.
In productivity tasks like video encoding and rendering, the 9950X3D's additional cores outperform the 9800X3D and even compete with Intel's 285K CPU.
The 9800X3D is recommended for pure gaming due to its comparable performance to the 9950X3D at a lower price point and greater availability.
For content creation and productivity workloads, the 9950X3D excels, but the slight advantages may not justify the higher cost for most users.
If seeking a CPU for both gaming and productivity, the 9950X3D is an excellent all-purpose choice but comes at a premium price.
Overall, the decision between the 9800X3D and 9950X3D depends on specific workload requirements and budget considerations.

Apple turns 49 today, but Apple Intelligence is spoiling the party

Apple celebrates its 49th anniversary since its founding in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne.
Despite being highly profitable, Apple's AI product, Apple Intelligence, faces challenges with delayed features and underwhelming performance.
Apple Intelligence lacks a clear identity and struggles to compete effectively with other AI tools in the market.
The situation with Apple Intelligence draws comparisons to Apple's identity crisis in the 1990s when the company faced near bankruptcy.
Steve Jobs' return to Apple in the late 90s helped redefine the company's focus and led to its resurgence.
Analysts suggest that Apple may need a similar refocusing effort for Apple Intelligence to overcome its current challenges.
While Apple's AI struggles pose a significant challenge, the company remains profitable and excels in other areas.
Redefining Apple Intelligence's identity could be crucial for its success in competing with rival AI products.
Analysts remain optimistic that Apple will address the issues with Apple Intelligence and improve its AI offerings in the future.
Lessons from Apple's past identity crisis in the 1990s may provide insights into resolving the current challenges faced by Apple Intelligence.

Day 01(AWS Series)- IP’s Explained: Unlocking the Secrets of Internet Addressing

An IP Address (Internet Protocol Address) is like a unique “home address” for devices connected to the internet or a network.
IPv4 addresses range from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 and are divided into five classes: A, B, C, D, and E.
Private IP addresses are reserved for internal use and help reduce the demand for public addresses and enhance security.
To view your IPv4 private address, you can open CMD and type ipconfig, and your public IP address can be found through a search on Google.

From Code to Cloud: A Deep Dive into Mendix Deployments - Part 3: Private Cloud

Private Cloud deployments involve using cloud-native technologies like Docker and Kubernetes on infrastructure controlled by the user.
For Mendix, Private Cloud typically involves using a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster from supported providers.
Advantages of Private Cloud include control over hosting location, access methods, deployments, and security measures.
Drawbacks include the need for hardware, configuration expertise, and implementation of security measures.
Private Cloud has two versions: Connected mode allows management through Mendix Portal, while Standalone mode interacts with the cluster directly.
Deployment steps involve registering a cluster, adding a namespace, installing the Mendix operator, and deploying the app.
The Mendix operator monitors app changes and applies necessary updates, configurable via mxpc-cli script.
Deployment requires creating environments in the Mendix Portal and deploying the app to the cluster.
Private Cloud deployment is complex but offers control and customization; official Mendix documentation can provide more detailed instructions.
Future articles will delve into connected vs. standalone environments, environment segregation, CI/CD integration, and more.
For more information or assistance in setting up Private Cloud deployments, readers are encouraged to seek further guidance.

Copilot+ PCs with AMD or Intel CPUs are finally getting some key AI features in Windows 11 – although I’m starting to doubt Recall will ever happen

Microsoft has introduced new AI features to Copilot+ PCs, including live captions and image generation capabilities for AMD and Intel-powered laptops.
The system-wide live captions feature, supporting over 40 languages, now includes AMD Ryzen AI 300 CPUs and Intel Core Ultra 200V processors.
Owners of Copilot+ PCs with AMD and Intel CPUs have gained an AI assistant called Cocreator in Paint for generating images based on instructions.
The Photos app on Copilot+ PCs is also receiving the Image Creator and Restyle Image features for creating and editing images.
Voice Access improvements will enable natural language voice commands on Copilot+ PCs with AMD and Intel CPUs later this year.
While features are gradually rolling out, users may need to update their Windows 11 preview to access the new capabilities.
Windows users can opt to receive the latest updates by enabling the 'Get the latest updates as soon as they're available' option in Windows Updates.
AI features for Paint and Photos apps require the latest versions from the Microsoft Store for full functionality.
However, the highly anticipated Recall feature, a supercharged Windows search, may face delays in release and its future remains uncertain.
Microsoft's Recall feature, which relies on taking regular screenshots, has faced setbacks and has been in testing after receiving criticism for privacy concerns.

Memory prices are about to rise. Here’s why you should care

Memory and storage company Micron has announced that it will be raising prices across its product portfolio, including DRAM and NAND flash memory.
The price hikes are driven by the increasing demand for memory and NAND flash in AI settings, particularly in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) in data centers.
This could result in higher prices for RAM kits, SSDs, graphics cards, smartphones, and game consoles in the consumer market.
While the price hikes in the consumer market are expected to be smaller than those in the enterprise market, it is advisable to make purchases sooner before the increases take effect.
