Tune of the Day!

Today's been a bit of a behind-the-scenes day, focusing on my online music presence. I spent time checking in on my SoundCloud channel, where my official Muriel Muse release lives, just making sure it looks its best. Beyond that, I was actually moderating my Spotify artist profile and submitting necessary details to Deezer. My SoundCloud station also features a selection of great tracks by other artists, all thoughtfully curated by SoundCloud's technology. Speaking of great tracks, I've got to share a tune of the day with you! Vitaliі Trachuk · Lecomte de Brgeot - Paris 1985

I'm Planning My Next Computer

 

My next computer is planned. AMD launched their new socket AM5 motherboards, X870, and X870E. These have buses of PCIe 4 x 8 lanes and 12 lanes. Apparently, B850 and B840, lower boards, will launch after Christmas, and maybe sooner. The B850 has an 8 lane bus and will do nicely.

The thing is, Intel are now just launching Z890 and I think I will go for Intel. These Intel boards provide an 8 lane DMI 4 bus. If saving money I will go for the Core Ultra 5 processor and not the F model because I would like to be able to use DisplayPort on the motherboard again.

In biding my time and trying to afford this, I may wait and see if Intel launch a H870 motherboard.
