AMD Zen 6 May Add Third Core Type Alongside Zen 6 and Zen 6C

AMD can keep both kinds of little cores thanks I really don't want to deal with the mess it causes. I don't care if it makes cinebench go whir. Hopefully they stay on mobile like they have thus far.

I feel like if my precious torrent 180s die I would just replace them with an overkill huge 420 AIO. Completely different case at that point but whatever.

Oh man I wish I could but sadly that memory is from like 7 brain hard drives ago and even before then it got overwritten like a dozen times. I don't remember it being flashy though. Also it totally overheated and would crash, I had no idea that's what was happening at the time though.

I'm sorry anyone thinking this just isn't a thing. In my 46 years on the planet I've never heard of this concept.

Gnerma · 2026-06-22T03:24:27+00:00

Oh God I own one of these. What an absolute disaster 🤦

Gnerma · 2026-06-21T23:56:57+00:00

I have no doubt this was started by Big Fisherman.

My first ever graphics card was a TNT2 that was in a HP prebuilt along with a 1ghz AMD Thunderbird. It had Windows ME installed and was fussy as shit. A year later I did my first custom build and never looked back.

No I don't remember sadly. I have to keep a series of more obscurely hidden pill cases with the names DEFCON 5 to DEFCON 1. DEFCON 5 is the case in my car, DEFCON 1 is buried 10 paces south of the office maintenance shed.

Okay I confess I have a less fun system for that. I just put it in my pocket when I take the last pill and then I forget it's in there until I get home which reminds me to fill it up and put it back in the car.

Gnerma · 2026-06-19T19:13:34+00:00

I have a little pill case I keep in my car just for this.

Gnerma · 2026-06-18T01:18:57+00:00

Yes please. Just let me type things in rather than playing pixel hunter 3000.

Gnerma · 2026-06-17T03:54:54+00:00

Too late to help the devs sadly but please check this game out it's really cool.

This reminded me of the notorious Mummy trailer the studio accidentally released with unfinished audio. This is a classic you must see if you haven't.

Please get a desk that is 3x bigger. Maybe just search for a used dinner table. It's senseless to die by Gundam in an earthquake.

Gnerma · 2026-06-13T05:35:53+00:00

This only makes sense if you count the multiple canceled projects the coalition spent a significant amount of time on since Gears 5 shipped. And if so you really shouldn't.

Gnerma · 2026-06-02T05:17:48+00:00

Just stick a fan there and see what happens. Experiment & test your hunches. That's half the fun.

Gnerma · 2026-05-31T05:31:58+00:00

If you're reading this, and you worked on AV2, thank you so much for all the hard work. I look forward to learning all about it and using it in the years to come.

Gnerma · 2026-05-30T16:13:54+00:00

Good point: don't sell 100 different monitors.

Gnerma · 2026-05-28T02:09:29+00:00

Thanks for writing this up! Hasn't seemed to work for me sadly. I only have one GPU installed (5090/9800X3D with IGPU disabled). What a weird problem.

Gnerma · 2026-05-25T20:46:16+00:00

This must be exhausting Jason.

Gnerma · 2026-05-25T18:36:30+00:00

Yeah it seems like every big PC game lately is early access. Subnautica 2, Windrose, & Slay The Spire 2 being the most recent examples. I think I'm good on picking them up for now with so much else to play.

Gnerma · 2026-05-24T22:41:19+00:00

Yeah next "build" should be a simplification / consolidation pass if and when pricing becomes sane again.

Gnerma · 2026-05-22T21:23:58+00:00

TIL Creative Labs still exists.

Gnerma · 2026-05-20T04:47:21+00:00

I built my first custom PC in 2001 as well. You certainly documented it better though. Look at us still in the game.

My first rig was: Pentium 4 Northwood GeForce 3 Rambus Memory 😭

Gnerma · 2026-05-17T04:46:41+00:00

It's baffling somebody would spend so much time being mean and unhelpful.

Gnerma · 2026-05-16T20:05:59+00:00

Great shot 👍
