AMD Launches New B450 Chipset Motherboards With Wide CPU Support

AMD has bounced back in tremendous fashion in the hardware business, reporting a huge 53% rise in its revenue. The major credit for this goes to their Ryzen series of CPUs and APUs, along with the heavyweight Threadripper processors. While the company already has a total of 3 model motherboards to its name, namely the A320, B350, and the X370, the company has now launched the all-new B450 motherboards.

The new AMD B450 chipset will support almost the entire range of AMD’s processors, including the Athlon Processor, the 7th-gen AMD A-Series APU, and both the 1st-gen and 2nd-gen AMD CPUs and APUs. As for the features, the new B450 chipset will support 24 PCIe Gen 3 Lanes along with full DRAM OC. Also, since all the Ryzen processors are unlocked out-of-the-box, the B450 will also feature Unlocked CPU Overclocking. What’s more is that the new chipset will come with support for the AMD StoreMI Technology as well, promising SSD-equivalent speeds from the SATA HDDs.

The best part about AMD’s chipsets has been the extended support. While its main competitor, Intel, requires you to upgrade your motherboard with a new chipset with every generation of its processors, AMD promises you a long tenure of support with your motherboard. The AM4 socket that the B450 uses is the same that is found on the already existing chipset motherboards from the company. As such, the company has promised full support and compatibility from 2017 and all the way to 2020.

The new AMD B450 chipset motherboards will come from a variety of OEMs, including the likes of ASUS, MSI, BIOSTAR, GIGABYTE, and more. The starting price for AMD’s B450 chipset motherboard is said to be around $70 (Rs. 4,800).

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried. The police officials in charge have no idea regarding where these drones are from. “They’ve been doing a grid search, a grid pattern. They fly one square and then they fly another square,” Colorado’s Phillips County Sheriff Thomas Elliot told the Denver Post. The drones have an approximate six-foot wingspan and stay 200 to 300 feet away from buildings. At least 17 drones have been spotted till now. They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities. “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.
