A Canadian overclocker named saltycroissant broke the world record for DDR5 memory speed. He pushed his system to 12,806 MT/s on an ASRock Z890 Taichi OCF motherboard. The previous record lasted less than a day after bl4ckdot hit 12,774 MT/s.
Saltycroissant used Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory with liquid nitrogen cooling and an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor. His achievement marks the first time anyone has crossed the 12,800 MT/s barrier with DDR5 memory. The setup kept the same cache latency as the previous record, CL68-127-127-127-2.
The Z890 platform leads the way for extreme DDR5 memory performance. Experts believe we might soon see speeds reach 13,000 MT/s with current memory modules. Top memory manufacturers like V-Color...
The new game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has sold over a million copies already. Steam players buy it much faster than other role-playing games from big companies. Its cheaper price tag makes people more likely to purchase right away rather than waiting for sales.
PlayStation numbers look different with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth selling better there. Many players wanted this exact type of game for years. It fills a gap for realistic graphics with old-school turn-based battles that many thought impossible.
Final Fantasy producer Yoshida once said that realistic graphics and turn-based combat feel strange together. Clair Obscur proves him wrong. The game adds real-time dodges to keep battles fresh. Critics love almost everything about...
Apple faces tough questions about its super-slim iPhone 17 Air. The company might sell a separate battery case because tests show poor battery life. According to inside reports from The Information, only 60-70 percent of users can make it through a full day without recharging.
Apple hasn't shared the exact battery size, but compared with other iPhones, the Air falls short. Standard iPhone models keep 80-90 percent of users powered all day. The company didn't explain what activities drain the battery fastest or how users might stretch battery life. Real-world usage will differ from test conditions, with battery health declining over time.
The iPhone 17 Air will measure just 5.5mm thick, making an extra battery case less bulky than on...
Kenyans need not worry about rising unga prices, says Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe. He spoke at UN offices in Nairobi during a food summit, rejecting claims that prices will climb higher. A 2kg packet of grade one unga sells for about Sh160 today, up from Sh100 in January, with maize bags jumping from Sh3,500 to Sh4,200.
Kagwe knows some people hold maize stocks hoping for price hikes, but claims their plan will fail. The government plans to release strategic reserves from the National Cereals Board to stabilize market rates. Kenya has also talked with Tanzania about importing their maize through the East African Community trade agreements.
The ministry will soon allow duty-free yellow maize imports for animal feed...
President Ruto says some people feel mad at him for putting ODM leaders in his Cabinet. Critics point to Mbadi running Treasury and Wandayi heading Energy despite not backing him in 2022. Ruto stands firm that Kenya's government serves everyone who pays taxes, regardless of how they voted.
The president works with several ODM figures led by his former rival, Raila Odinga, in what he calls a broad-based arrangement. Five Cabinet spots went to ODM members, with Joho, Oparanya, and Askul among them.
Ruto also warned future opponents against tribal politics before the 2027 election. He told people in Rongo, Homa Bay, that Kenyans will choose leaders based on real plans, not anger or hatred. The president thinks voters care about who...
Putin says Russia held off military action in Ukraine because it believed in peace talks. He claims Russia wanted to settle the Donbass fighting without war, not preparing for battle early on. Russia needed time to strengthen security and fix economic issues before taking major steps.
The Russian leader points out that American officials openly admit the West fights what they call an existential war against Russia. He feels Russia stands alone against many Western countries combined. Until 2022, Russia somewhat trusted deals with Western partners and hoped all sides would follow the Minsk agreements.
Putin says Western countries tricked Russia. He believes they used peaceful talk as a cover to arm Ukraine and plan a war against...
Isaac Mwaura spoke out against someone who threw a shoe at President Ruto during his Migori County visit on Sunday. Videos spread online showing Ruto dodging the flying footwear as he talked to people in Kehancha, Kuria West. Three people sit in jail cells after police arrested them for the attack.
The government wants anyone involved caught fast. Mwaura asked what lessons such acts teach children across Kenya. Interior Minister Murkomen confirmed that police have already made arrests. Politicians from both sides called the shoe throw wrong.
MP Anthony Kibagendi raised an alarm about how bad things could have gone. He worried about what might happen if someone had a gun instead of a shoe. Foreign Affairs Committee head Nelson Koech...
Mike Sonko led a sad airport gathering Monday morning as Benjamin Kioko Ndunda came home. His body arrived first among three Kenyans who died in a Sharjah fire. After brief prayers at JKIA, the remains went to Montezuma Monalisa Funeral Home.
Ian Mungai, Kennedy Wangari, and Kioko died when flames tore through their UAE apartment building days ago. The second body reaches Kenya on Tuesday, and the last one on Wednesday. Kioko will rest on Friday, May 9, Sonko said as he comforted the grieving family.
Sonko thanked everyone who helped bring the men home - Aviation PS Terry Mbaika, KQ boss Allan Kilavuka, Kenyan officials in the UAE, and the Sharjah funeral team. All three victims had moved abroad seeking better jobs, like many Kenyans...
