Getting design thinking right in human resources (Proactive)edit
Design thinking is an approach taken to gather an in-depth understanding of a system’s stakeholders, defining their problems clearly and designing solutions which may not have been so obvious previously. Initially, design thinking was associated with product-focused companies. However, over the past years, organisations have started applying design thinking across various functions, including human resources.

AMD Ryzen 3000: Which Motherboard to Buy: X470, X570 or B450edit
AMD wasn’t able to fully deliver on its promise of supporting the Zen chipsets across all three generations, at least not fully. The Ryzen chipsets, namely the B350 and X370 will only support the Zen 2 chips in certain cases (depending on the OEM), while the A320 won’t be supporting it at any point of time. The 2nd Gen chipsets, X470 and B450 will be able to run all three generations, while the X570 platform will only work with Zen+ and Zen 2.

AMD Confirms Ryzen 3000 “Matisse” Features Soldered IHSedit
AMD senior technical marketing manager Robert Hallock, responding to a specific question on Twitter, confirmed that the 3rd generation Ryzen processors do feature soldered integrated heatspreaders (IHS). Soldering as an interface material is preferred as it offers better heat transfer between the processor die and the IHS, as opposed to using a fluid TIM such as pastes. “Matisse” will be one of the rare few examples of a multi-chip module with a soldered IHS. The package has two kinds of dies, one or two 7 nm “Zen 2” 8-core CPU chiplets, and one 14 nm I/O Controller die.
