AMD announced the Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition processor
21 Apr 2026 at 4:09 pm UTC

Quoting: scaineI wish AMD would focus on GPUs. Now, more than ever, they could establish themselves competitively in the GPU market. With Nvidia prices being absolutely exorbitant, a half-way decently priced upgrade to the 9700XT would be well received by people like myself still rocking the 6800XT or even the 7900XTX.
I am actually using a 16 Gb RX9700XT on a 9950X3D system (Mint 22.3) and I have 140 fps on "The Callisto Protocol" that I assume it's the most demanding gave I own.

I don't have Cyperpunk or ARC Raiders to benchmark but I think even at 60 fps they would be absolutely playable and good looking.

CoolerControl 4.2 adds auto detection of new devices, stress-testing and more

It would be very nice if we can really report unknown/unrecognized sensor chips to the project.
I have a Gigabyte X870E Aorus Pro X3D ICE (with a Ryzen9 9950X3D) and coolercontrol found two unknown ITE sensor chips: 0x8696 at 0x2E and 0x8883 at 0x4E.
I managed to have the 8696 working adding "options it87 ignore_resource_conflict=1 force_id=0x8696" to "/etc/modprobe.d/it87.conf" but "coolercontrold detect --load" still says "Unrecognized Super-I/O chip at 0x4E id:0x8883 - please report for database inclusion" and I can't find a way to report it.

Quoting: daH00LAre you using AdGuard? Looks like `umami.is` is blocked in: https://adguardteam.github.io/HostlistsRegistry/assets/filter_1.txt [External Link].
Damn, I am using Pi-Hole and totally forgot that!
I will try disabling it for a while.

THANK YOU!

Why bother producing new CPUs when it's barely impossible to find DDR5 RAM?

Well, it seems I cannot reach cloud.umami.is from Italy.
Tried with Chromium (I usually use Librewolf), no way.
Any hint?

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI'll switch when Mint does; I'm vaguely hoping that will be soon, but I haven't had any problems with X11.
The only thing I really miss on Mint is actually Plasma 6. :grin:

As of January 6, the current NVIDIA (and OpenZFS, VirtualBox, VMware Workstation/Player and some other) dkms modules still not support the latest 6.12 kernels (Xanmod/Liquorix). I am sticking with xanmod-6.11.11
