Hardware experts reckon that AMD will introduce a new interconnect fabric with the MI400 series - "XSwitch" is speculated to be the company's main technological answer to NVIDIA's NVLINK.ĪMD and its board partners have finally debuted Radeon RX 7600 graphics cards this week, and hardware enthusiasts were somewhat pleased about Team Red's last minute adjustment to the lineup's MSRP - rumors had to pointed to an expected $299 base price, but the monolithic RDNA 3 Navi 33 XL GPU (6 nm) card hit the market with a starting SEP of $269/€299.99.

Kepler's recent tweet posits that Weisshorn is AMD's in-house moniker for Zen 6 "Morpheus" architecture-based Venice CPUs - these are alleged to form part of an upcoming EPYC lineup (slated for 2025 or 2026). The leaked email email contained information about three upcoming products: Weisshorn, MI450 and XSwitch. Instinct MI400 accelerators are touted to drive next generation data center and cloud platforms. Wccftech was quick enough to note down the details, and their report suggests that AMD is already making plans for an APU range that is set to succeed the unreleased Instinct MI300 lineup (expected later in 2023). This information was shared by a hardware tipster ( on Twitter, but their post has been deleted as some point today. The aforementioned (18 KB sized) "xp_activate32" executable is derived from Microsoft's phone app code.ĪMD is reported to be forming plans for its Instinct MI400 Accelerator series, according to a leaked internal email.

According to The Register it was still possible - as recently as 2020 - to activate copies of Windows XP via a smartphone-based utility. Official online authentication no longer exists - Microsoft shutdown all necessary servers in 2014. It is a bit difficult to fathom that there is continued demand for new XP activations - given the lack of robust/modern security features within a very old operating system (debuted in 2001). The tinyapps organization describes itself as "an aging catalog of tiny, well-made software primarily for Windows." Vintage operating system enthusiasts will be pleased to discover that the community-developed "xp_activate32.exe" tool is capable of "safely" activating Windows XP installs - with no need for nefarious software cracks or convoluted workarounds. Technology news outlets have today jumped on the emergence of a curious Windows XP-related activation tool - although the blog section of low-key published details of this development back in late April.
