Intel® Core™ i9-7900X Processor

What the f****!!  These were my exact words when this appeared in my news feed. i9? Could not believe it all these years we have been praising and bowing down to the great i7 little did it know that it could be shelved sooner or later.

Before we even dive into the i9 story line there is still a new baby in town. AMD is back with the mighty Ryzon 7. This baby is no joke she harbors the following specs:
·         8 core processor
·         16 threads
·         Turbo max of 4GHZ
·         L3 cache of 16MB
·         2667MHZ of memory speed.

If you planning to buy a desktop definitely consider this processor. I know AMD have been in the hide out for a while but now we have seen what has been cooking. In this regard Intel on the other hand is not accepting any defeat.

Just recently Intel decide to shake the internet by the release that it’s developing the i9. At first I personally thought it was a joke but by visiting their website all my fears we confirmed.
Have a look at its specs:
  •          10 core
  •          Turbo max of 4.30GHz
  •          L3 cache 13.75MB
  •         20 threads

As per the specs this is a very powerful piece of metal. Compared to the ryzon it’s of better specs. Considering its launch is much later it’s obviously expected.

Question 2 who actually needs these powerful processor? Short answer me.  Anyway these launches come at a better time as the gaming industry is going a notch higher in terms of requiring better processing power, graphics and animation ,VR also requires a lot of power and our friends who mine cryptocurrency need better equipment to carry out their work.

Back to the cooperate world our average CEO will not require a machine of such specs basically an i5 still suits the well. I mean they just send mail and read our PDF reports.

 As for the IT department it’s a 50/50 scenario depending with the environment but it would be safe just to have one at the corner of the office. (Running torrent ha-ha)


In concussion this is a major step in the tech scene and will open doors to major advancement in the field e.g. VR and the gaming industry at large. The unfortunate part is always the pricing apparently it’s estimated to cost around $2000.

Revolutionizing Agriculture: Precision Farming with Drones and Sensors

  Drones in Agricuture In the rapidly evolving world of agriculture, precision farming stands out as a groundbreaking approach that harnesses the power of technology to enhance productivity, sustainability, and efficiency. Among the most transformative tools in this field are drones and sensors, which are redefining traditional farming practices. This article delves into how these technologies are being integrated into modern agriculture, the benefits they offer, and the future they promise. The Rise of Precision Farming Precision farming, also known as precision agriculture, involves the use of technology to manage crops and soil in a more precise and controlled manner. The goal is to optimize field-level management regarding crop farming. Unlike conventional methods that rely on broad-spectrum approaches, precision farming tailors practices to the specific needs of different areas within a field. Drones: Eyes in the Sky Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become an i...

Early Detection of Brain Disorders: Using Wearable Devices Through Eye Movement

 Early Detection of Brain Disorders Using Wearable Devices Through Eye Movement Introduction In recent years, the integration of wearable technologies into healthcare has opened up exciting possibilities for early disease detection. Among these developments, wearable sensors that track eye movement have emerged as a promising tool in diagnosing brain disorders. Eye movement, which is closely linked to brain function, can offer vital clues in detecting neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive impairments. This research addresses a pressing question: Can subtle changes in eye movement patterns be reliably used to detect brain disorders before clinical symptoms become evident? With advancements in precision medicine and AI, the convergence of IT, biomedical engineering, and neuroscience is becoming not only possible but necessary. As a software engineer transitioning into bioinformatics, I see this as a pivotal opportunity to apply data sc...
