Solid quote capturing where the vitriol is coming from

The Verge has what is probably the most realist take: DLSS 5 is similar to motion smoothing on TVs; [joke about the parallel]

SILICON-GATE

AMD responds to CHUWI Ryzen 5 743OU case (relabeling Ryzen 5 5500U cpus as Ryzen 5 7430U) “We have never authorized confirmed or tacitly approved of this”

https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-issues-a-statement-on-chuwi-ryzen-cpu-mislabeling

March 4th - NotebookCheck broke the story and found CHUWI Corebook X had a Ryzen 5 5500U instead of the advertised 7430U. BIOS, Windows, and CPU-Z ALL SPOOFED TO SHOW THE WRONG CHIP

https://www.notebookcheck.net/CPU-scam-Chuwi-CoreBook-X-uses-AMD-Ryzen-5-5500U-instead-of-7430U.1242048.0.html

Mar 12th - They then bought a CoreBook Plus and found the SAME THING, two different models, same issue. CHUWI threatened NotebookCheck with LEGAL action to take articles down.

Mar 18- Tom’s Hardware Coverage, good breakdown of the two CPUs, confirms the 7-10% performance gap, up to 20% in some workloads. Also covers the Ninkear A15 Pro potentially being affected (same PCB/ODM possibly Emdoor Digital)

Mar 17th - Case widens, HK distributor Hornington offering full refunds on 3 affected products (CoreBook X, CoreBook Plus, UBOX). CPU-Z 2.19 updated to now correctly identify these faked chips.

Intel drops some nice updates: new Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus and Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus - mobile versions of Arrow Lake refresh https://newsroom.intel.com/client-computing/intel-launches-core-ultra-200hx-plus-series-mobile-processors

Also, precompiled shaders update massively reduces load time on both integrated and discrete Arc GPUs

Can reduce load times by more than 3x, and by THIRTY-SEVEN TIMES in God of War Ragnarok, because I guess that game was particularly fucked

OPT-IN Intelligence

Gemini Personal Intelligence feature now available to everyone in the US (opt-in)

https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/896107/google-expands-personal-intelligence

It’s good that this one is at least opt in

Highlights the opt-in mechanics, Google says it doesn’t train on your emails/photos directly but your prompts can include data pulled from those apps, which is a meaningful distinction

https://shorturl.at/KXQTV

Good breakdown of what it actually connects to (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Photos, Maps, YouTube, Search), how to enable it, confirms it works across Gemini App, Chrome, and AI mode in search.
