After arriving two weeks late, AMD's Ryzen 9000-series desktop processors disappointed some buyers and reviewers due to lackluster performance. Now, the company has addressed those issues with several new updates.The biggest speed brake for Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs was the lack of Windows 11 branch prediction optimizations. For relief, you needed to either wait for Windows 11 24H2 (currently in the release preview channel), or add the optional KB5041587 update.

Embedded systems and desktop systems, though both integral parts of our modern technological landscape, serve vastly different purposes and operate under distinct principles. This blog post delves into the differences in non-volatile memory usage, overall system design, and the unique advantages of various embedded system architectures. Non-Volatile Memory Differences Non-volatile memory in embedded systems, such as Flash memory, is used to store firmware and application code that must be retained even when the system is powered off. This type of memory is essential for embedded systems due to their specific, constrained environments that require reliability and longevity. In contrast, desktop…
