French website supposedly breaks Ryzen NDA, posts benchmarks
My take is that AMD is probably focusing the HPC market, which is very lucrative and profitable and the associated workloads are well threaded and benefit greatly from high core counts. The long and short of it is, if true, that Ryzen is slightly slower than a 6900k and faster than a 6800k but what is likely to disappoint many is that in gaming benchmarks it performs on par with an i5 6600, though power consumption is great for an AMD cpu.

‘Hidden Figures’ review: Formulaic feel-good movie fun for all
It makes sense that the dramatic Hidden Figures is a math movie, because it follows the classic feel-good formula to a tee. That’s not to say it doesn’t have its merits; in fact, if you’re not rushing out of the theatre after the movie’s over to look up Katherine Johnson , Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan , then we didn’t see the same movie.

Learning to trust the machines: AI and company culture
We all like to believe we are rational human beings, and can understand the power of machine learning, just as we understand the simple logic of an A/B test.
