Again, our benchmarks below show it sitting in the middle of the pack when running in the stock configuration. But with PBO turned on, only the 9700X and X3D chips can beat it.

Eh, the chart for this doesn't include the 9600x, it's a dated table of Zen 3 and 10th Gen Intel CPUs. Or am I missing something!?

newegg gives 16gb ddr5 with the 9600x

Yeah, either there was an error in linking it, or maybe Jowi isn't as skilled in using the site's limited search functionality as some of us have had to become?

The (updated) review covering the 9600X is here, for anyone interested:

Yeah,. I kinda thought it was just a simple mistake. God knows, I've done much worse with copy and pasting and turning a presentation into a temporary laughing stock in a previous life! 🤪

When sending out emails to multiple recipients, I developed a habit of re-reading them a number of times that's roughly a logarithmic with respect to the number of recipients. I think base-3 log sounds about right, for that.

For a mass publication, you'd want to use a different base, but I suppose a similar heuristic should still apply.

Thanks for the sharp eyes, guys. Fixed!

Yes, being thorough really helps.

In my last organisation, we adopted the 'three eyes review'. Reviewing the content for brand association, or spelling and punctuation mistakes, and any other issues that are important. It's simple and effective.

We use peer reviews for all code changes. For production code, you need a sign-off by two reviewers. For non-product stuff, like infrastructure and some tests, I think only one is required.

Lately, AI is also contributing code reviews, which is pretty good at catching simpler sorts of errors (one tier better than compiler warnings or "lint"-type tools). It doesn't raise issues on more fundamental design or architecture flaws, however.

brilliant! i shall adopt this heuristic as well.

I got the 14600k for about the same price, well slightly cheaper in the UK.
