Shortage of Breath

The dream of Thomas still clings to the edges of my consciousness, a vivid haunting that left me gasping for air the moment I broke the surface of sleep. While lost in that subconscious encounter, my breathing grew shallow and frantic, mimicking the tiny, staccato inhalations of a mouse as if my lungs had suddenly lost their capacity for depth.  The air became a scarce luxury I couldn't quite reach within the confines of the dream, and the suffocating pressure of those minute, rapid breaths eventually forced my eyes open in a desperate bid for survival. Now, I am left in the quiet dark, my chest heaving to reclaim the oxygen I lost, while the memory of Thomas lingers in the heavy, still air of the room.

I'm Planning My Next Computer

 

My next computer is planned. AMD launched their new socket AM5 motherboards, X870, and X870E. These have buses of PCIe 4 x 8 lanes and 12 lanes. Apparently, B850 and B840, lower boards, will launch after Christmas, and maybe sooner. The B850 has an 8 lane bus and will do nicely.

The thing is, Intel are now just launching Z890 and I think I will go for Intel. These Intel boards provide an 8 lane DMI 4 bus. If saving money I will go for the Core Ultra 5 processor and not the F model because I would like to be able to use DisplayPort on the motherboard again.

In biding my time and trying to afford this, I may wait and see if Intel launch a H870 motherboard.
