The latest budget Celeron G6900 looks catastrophically bad compared to older models and not only
There are already a huge number of tests of top and mid-range Intel Alder Lake processors on the Web. But for many users, the most affordable solutions are important. And today we can evaluate what the Celeron G6900 is capable of – the youngest representative of the new line, the official cost of which is only 42-52 dollars.
First, let’s recall that the Celeron G6900 has only two large cores and does not support Hyper-Threading. The operating frequency is 3.4 GHz.
As you can see, Celeron G6900 loses to all test participants, and sometimes very much. However, unfortunately, the authors of the review, for some reason, did not take for comparison either Celeron or Pentium of past generations, or any Athlon. And the loss even of the Core i3-10100F is more than expected.
But what is unexpected is the power consumption, which in the Celeron G6900 is even slightly higher than in the Core i3-10100F!
In terms of games, this is also a very bad option. At least when using a productive video card. Still, two cores without Hyper-Threading are already too few today. Sometimes the gap between the new product and the Core i3-10100F is so great that it can be called a disaster for Celeron. It is also worth adding that some games may not run at all with such a CPU.
The authors conclude that such a CPU, at its current price, and asking $70-90 for it, is completely meaningless, since the same Core i3-10100F costs about the same or slightly more. And the Core i3-12100F is about the same price.
But with a recommended price of $40-50, the situation will be completely different. Yes, the new product will not become more productive, but the price difference will be quite large for this price segment.

A “completely silent” 1300W power supply. Cooler Master showed two new products, but only the youngest received a passive CO
Cooler Master brought power supplies to Computex that they claim are absolutely silent.
The younger model with a power of 750 W is really silent, because it simply does not have a fan. By the way, this is the company’s most powerful power supply with passive cooling.
There is also a 1300W PSU. It has a fan, but Cooler Master also calls it completely silent.
The secret to successfully cooling such powerful PSUs without too much noise lies in the use of an evaporation chamber. There are no other details yet, as well as no pricing data.
NASA’s SLS super-heavy booster is already over budget by $6 billion and six years behind schedule, according to a recent report.
A recent report generated by the NASA Inspector General’s review indicates that NASA’s spending on the Artemis program will reach $93 billion by 2025, including the $23.8 billion already spent on SLS through 2022.
Despite a successful first run earlier this year, the Inspector notes that the project involves additional costs and a further shift in the schedule. Moreover, if the existing problems are not resolved in time, this may jeopardize the entire mission of Artemis.
As for delays, out of the six years mentioned, five years of delay, and at the same time an additional almost $ 2 billion, fell on Northrop Grumman accelerators. The bottom line is that the SLS project initially involved the partial use of old equipment from the days of the Space Shuttle program. Of course, with the necessary upgrades. Northrop Grumman boosters were one such element.
The inspector blames the situation on the cost-plus pricing method and recommends switching to fixed prices. In general, NASA agreed with all eight of the inspector’s recommendations.

Exynos platforms will appear in a new type of device. Samsung to create SoC for mixed reality headsets
Samsung is going after Apple to release its mixed reality headset. The device will be released either at the end of this year or early next. There are no details about it yet, but it is reported that Samsung is also going to release its own Exynos single-chip systems for headsets.
Considering that these are only plans for now, the upcoming Samsung headset will apparently either rely on some foreign platforms or on existing Exynos SoCs.
However, new platforms for mixed reality headsets may not be entirely new. It is reported that Samsung has not yet decided whether it will develop these SoCs from scratch or simply adapt existing solutions.
