AMD Navi 10, Navi 21 (RDNA 2) and Xbox Series X GPU “Arden” Source Code Stolen and Leakededit
The source code for AMD’s Navi 10, Navi 21 and the Arden GPU have been stolen and leaked on GitHub. Although AMD was quick to react and issue DCMA takedowns of these packets, it’s highly likely that there are still copies out in the wild. To make matters worse, the hacker who posted the source code of these RDNA GPUs has claimed that if no one buys the code from her, she will leak everything. The three GPUs whose source code was posted on GitHub include Navi 10, Navi 21 and Arden.

AMD’s Ryzen 7 4800H Beats the Intel Core i9-9900KF in CPU-Z Benchmark while Drawing just 45Wedit
AMD’s Ryzen 4000 APUs will feature the world’s first low-power octa-core processors, bringing desktop levels of performance to the notebook PC space. We’ve already seen many Renoir benchmarks and in nearly every test, they eat Intel’s Comet Lake CPUs for breakfast. Ice Lake manages to stay afloat in the single-threaded tests due to a superior IPC, but the low core count means it’s not effective in multi-threaded workloads. Today, we have a leaked CPU-Z benchmark of the Ryzen 7 4800H. Normally we wouldn’t share it, not being a real-world test and all that, but considering how well it performs, we just had to:

The Red team’s new mobile APUs will be very powerful and we all have seen the demos but how exactly they will perform against the desktop CPUs? The benchmarks of the custom AMD Ryzen 9 4900HS APU made for Asus has popped up on UserBenchmark. The Ryzen 9 4900HS is an absolute monster with a bit lower TDP (35W) and features the same 8-core and 16-threaded configuration like the Ryzen 7 APUs but with higher clock speeds.

Microsoft pausing all optional non security windows releasesedit
In a bid to focus on security updates, Microsoft is pausing all optional non security releases for supported versions of Windows and its server products. The tech giant is particularly suspending C and D updates, which are usually released during the 3rd and 4th week of each month, respectively. These include non-security improvements and fixes. But the changes don’t go into effect until May, so we can still expect a few last optional non security releases next month.
