Anandtech: AMD Gives Details on EPYC Zen4: Genoa and Bergamo, up to 96 and 128 Cores
Since AMD’s relaunch into high-performance x86 processor design, one of the fundamental targets for the company was to be a competitive force in the data center. By having a competitive product that customers could trust, the goal has always been to target what the customer wants, and subsequently grow market share and revenue. Since the launch of 3rd Generation EPYC, AMD is growing its enterprise revenue at a good pace, however questions always turn around to what the roadmap might hold. In the past, AMD has disclosed that its 4th Generation EPYC, known as Genoa, would be coming in 2022 with Zen 4 cores built on TSMC 5nm. Today, AMD is expanding the Zen 4 family with another segment of cloud-optimized processors called Bergamo.

Windows Central: Razer Kiyo X review: Defeat bad lighting with the Kiyo X
The Razer Kiyo X is the first webcam from the firm that I've used, and like many other Razer products, I find myself converted. This fairly affordable 1080p shooter is a great option for content creation and home office use.

TechPowerUp: Ajazz AC064 Mechanical Keyboard Review - 64-keys, 65% Form Factor
Ajazz brings something new to the table with a 65% keyboard that takes up as much room as smaller 60% units. Available as a DIY kit or pre-assembled keyboard, the AC064 does so by shortening some keys in favor of dedicated arrow keys. Add a thick aluminium case and there's enough here to merit a read!
