• Storage: 32GB
• Chips: S8 with 64-bit dual-core processor, W3, U1

KEY FINDINGS
• This is the first Apple Watch to be accessible using screws, albeit the fiddly pentalobe variety. Maybe Apple appreciates this watch is more likely to need fixing? But the party is short-lived, as removing the back shreds the clear gasket Apple has used to aid waterproofing. Replacing this won’t be fun at all.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
The new Zen 5 CPUs are here—time to benchmark!
