AMD Ryzen 5 2600 gets a huge 24% price cut on the six-core processor

Amazon's got a brilliant deal on the AMD Ryzen 5 2600, which knocks 24% off the asking price, making it great if you're looking to give your PC a decent performance upgrade without spending a huge amount of money. 

This deal (which you can see below) gets you this impressive processor with six cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.4GHz and a boost clock of 3.9GHz for £132.98, which is the cheapest price yet for AMD's second generation Ryzen processor.

This new low price for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 makes it an ideal choice for building a gaming PC on a budget. The six cores and 12 threads also mean you can multitask with ease – for example streaming to Twitch while you play.

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a great mid-range processor, like the slightly faster AMD Ryzen 5 2600X, which is our pick for the best mid-range CPU in the world right now.

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is almost identical to the 2600X, but it has slightly lower clock speeds out of the box, and doesn't come with quite as good a cooler. If you're not too fussed on overclocking your CPU to eke out more performance, then we'd recommend going for the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 – especially at this price.

We're not sure how long this deal will last, but if you're looking for a real bargain on a great CPU, we wouldn't hang about.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS.

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
