Where is the AMD Ryzen 2800X? AMD RX Vega nano, and new Windows update: TWTN

The Current State of CPUs: A Market Shift?

CPUs was once the 1800 X and now the highest-end CPU is the 2700 X, which seems to not make sense at all. AMD has commented on a lack of the 2800 X in their current lineup, stating that they feel the current lineup of CPUs covers them well enough and places them exactly where they want to be in the market at the moment. This led to speculation about the reason behind the non-release of the 2800 X.

The Speculation Continues

AMD's response suggests that they are waiting for a response from Intel to release an appropriate CPU, which would then allow them to release a 2800 X to combat it. However, this is not where the speculation stops. There is always a slightly more crazy story out there, and this one seems to have originated from Tweak Town, a source that has been known to come up with exciting news in the past.

According to Tweak Town, AMD might be releasing a 10 core, 20 thread 2800 X, which would be an amazing CPU. This actual CPU would be able to overclock past four gigahertz, making it a productivity monster and potentially competing against an eight-core mainstream Intel CPU. However, not even AMD knows what's going to happen, as it all depends on Intel's move.

Mini Graphics Cards in the Works?

Another rumor circulating around is that AMD might release a mini version of their RX Vega graphics cards. According to Tweak Town, this would be possible due to the HBM technology being integrated into the GPU die, which means they can make less PCB space for actual memory modules. This could lead to the creation of smaller graphics cards like the Fury series, which had a mini model in the previous generation.

Microsoft Spring Creators Update: A New Era?

Finally, there's some exciting news about Microsoft's spring creators update edition. This release is set to happen sometime this week and will feature several new features, including a timeline feature that helps seamlessly cross over from one PC to another on the same desktop. However, what's really getting attention is the fact that it will take significantly less time to update – only 30 minutes compared to the previous 80-120 minutes.

Name Change: From Spring Creators Update Edition to April Update?

One of the most notable changes in this new release is the name itself. The main thing Microsoft is talking about is how much faster this update will be, but they're also changing the name from "Spring Creators Update Edition" to a more straightforward title – just "April Update". However, it's not entirely clear what this change signifies, and one can't help but wonder if there's some kind of deal that was made by someone who came up with this name.
