Zen 2 might not offer the IPC increase you expect Opinion: Across all sorts of tech forums, and particularly in TechSpot’s comment section, I’ve noticed a trend. Everyone loves to quote a 10-20% IPC (instructions per clock) boost for Zen 2, and, while I’m not ruling that out, I think it’s much less likely than what many people believe. That range has only come about because of a series of misunderstandings, errors, and easily refutable leaks, so I’m going to try to set the record straight. Rumors kicked off six months ago when an Italian computer company with a 32-core Epyc sample told Bits and Chips that Zen 2 offered a 13% IPC performance boost in scientific tasks. For starters, scientific tasks benchmark wildly differently to games – AMD already beats Intel in scientific and productivity IPC, while falling ~3% behind in games clock for clock. More importantly, using a 32-core server processor as a metric for an 8-core consumer processor is fraught with error. I believe that a 10-20% increase is possible, but only as likely as 5-10%.

The UK and Huawei, Theresa May and the leaking scapegoat This week, the news broke that Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson had been identified as the source of a leak from the National Security Council, and had been fired from the government. The BBC reported on Theresa May’s decision to axe her Defense Secretary of 18 months having found “compelling evidence suggesting [his] responsibility for the unauthorized disclosure.” Subsequent to his sacking, and facing calls for a full inquiry into what happened, the Prime Minister’s de facto deputy, David Lidington, has said “the PM considered the matter closed.” But this matter is far from closed. Mr Williamson denies that he leaked anything, and said in his response letter to the PM, “I strenuously deny that I was in any way involved in this leak and I am confident that a thorough and formal inquiry would have vindicated my position.” He continued, “I have always trusted my civil servants, military advisers and staff. This is a situation that needs some close examination. Gavin Williamson

Intense PC - World's First Ivybridge Core i7 Fanless Mini Computer Back in March we announced the Intense PC, the latest addition to our Fit-PC family and our most powerful fanless computer to date using 2nd Generation i3 and i7 cores. Well now, only a few days after Intel itself announced availability of its 3rd Generation Core i7 IVYBRIDGE processors, we can confirm that Intense PC is the world’s first, low power, miniature, fanless computer to ship with an i7 Ivybridge option! Orders are being taken immediately. Already a powerful performer, the Intense PC has now been treated to a third generation Intel Core i7-3517UE processor running at 1.7 GHz. Several FACE modules have since been designed to extend functionality as and when needed, including one that offers more Gigabit Ethernet ports and another that makes another two mini-PCIe slots available. The new Ivybridge Intense PC model is available immediately, with a barebone third gen Core i7 version (no RAM or HDD) and one with 8GB of system memory and a 500 GB hard drive (running on Linux) .
Pokki 0.245 Beta free download Pokki is a free framework for finding, installing and running apps on the Windows desktop. And as a bonus for Windows 8 users, it can also restore something like the Start Menu to the taskbar. Once installed, Pokki adds a button to the left of your taskbar. The choice of apps is sometimes a little lacking. And "Travel" was another category which should have presented all kinds of opportunities. It's not all bad news, though. What's more, as these apps are installed, so you'll get to see any relevant notifications from them to the right of its menu. And if you're using Windows 8 and missing the Start menu, the program provides another way to bring it back. Right-click the Pokki button, click Settings, check "Show Start Menu sidebar" and click Save. The latest release has now also been optimised for touch. Verdict: Pokki's app store is a little basic, but there are still enough to be useful, and the program's Start Menu recreation could also be helpful on Windows 8 systems

Time Stopper(Update: New version link added, now it comes without ads) is a free tool for Windows that can stop any trial software’s time for you. For example you downloaded a software that comes with 15-days trial, you used for 3 days which means 12 more days are left before it expires.

Below is the complete guide on how to stop a time of a trial software. Note: When this tool will stop the time for a trial software, it will not change or stop your system time.
