📰 AMD finally nailed the dual-CCD X3D CPU, but the 9950X3D2 proves nobody needed it
Ever since AMD launched the 7950X3D, enthusiasts have been asking for a flagship CPU with 3D V-Cache on both CCDs. From a technical standpoint, this meant not letting Windows and AMD's scheduler decide which CCD should handle your games. Even though the 7950X3D and the 9950X3D had no trouble splitting workloads, core parking played a vital role in how they behaved compared to single-CCD X3D chips like the 7800X3D and 9800X3D.

📰 Canonical share Ubuntu 26.04 concept build for CIX P1 devices
Canonical has shared a new Ubuntu Concept image for the CIX P1, an Armv9 SoC powering single-board computers like the Radxa Orion O6 and Orange Pi 6 Plus. The image is based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and ships with a Linux 7.0 kernel from CIX’s open-source GitHub tree using only open-source drivers. A set of patches sits on top of the mainline kernel, but the goal is for them to be upstreamed too.

📰 Linux developers are getting bombarded with AI-generated bug reports, and Linus isn't happy
During the release candidate cycle for Linux 7.0, Linus began noticing something weird. The number of bug reports for Linux 7.0 was more than usual, but at the same time, the bugs being found were pretty minor and not worth delaying the release. At the time, Linus suspected that the rise in reports was due to people using AI tools to scan for and identify bugs, and it turns out, he was right.
