$399 AMD Ryzen 7 3800X Faster than $484 Intel Core i9-9900K in Geekbenchedit
We’ve already seen the Geekbench scores of the 16-core Ryzen 9 3950X and the hex-core Ryzen 5 3600 and I can say with a good deal of certainty that you’ll probably want to check them out if you skipped the last few upgrade cycles. The former is the fastest consumer CPU ever, with 32-threads and an astounding 72 MB of cache, while the latter beats just about every CPU in the sub-$300 range while costing just $199.

10nm Intel Core i7-1065G7 “Ice Lake” has 44% Higher SC Perf v/s AMD Ryzen 5 3500Uedit
On one side, we’ve got the 7nm AMD Matisse chips pummeling Intel’s 9th Gen lineup and on the other, we are continuously seeing (promising) leaked scores of the upcoming 10nm Sunny Cove based Ice Lake chips. Slated for launch in the coming quarter (at least the mobile U and Y chips), yes, they’ll probably be limited in quantity (and quality), so you probably won’t be able to get your hands on a 10nm Intel part anytime this year, but 2020 should be more positive for Intel.

AI needs ‘edge computing’ to make everyday devices smarteredit
Since Japan launched its first deep space probe in 1985, the photographs have been taken in a relatively low-tech way, by pointing cameras at objects in the cosmos and letting them run.
