📰 AMD PerfOpt Boosting Prior-Gen Ryzen APU Performance For AI
Last week I ran benchmarks of the new AMD PerfOpt feature being introduced in Linux 7.4. In those PerfOpt benchmarks on current-gen AMD Ryzen AI APUs/SoCs the AI performance improved as much as 18~23%. Several Phoronix readers expressed interest in seeing how prior-gen AMD Ryzen hardware benefited or not from PerfOpt, so here are some additional benchmarks.

📰 My headless Raspberry Pi can finally be a real Spotify Connect player without a workaround
My headless Raspberry Pi 4 is parked near my old jBL Flip 5 speaker, and its job was to play Spotify for the longest time. I’d pair my phone to it over Bluetooth, stream from there, and hope nothing got in the way. But something always did, like a phone call, a notification, or walking too far from the Pi. That caused the music to stutter or cut out entirely. It mostly worked, but rarely felt like a proper music player.
