Someone has brought us a Core i9-14900HX. Despite being in 17th place in the overall ranking, it is the third fastest mobile micro we have. Its 24 Raptor Lake cores and a TDP of 55W help it comfortably surpass the one million point barrier.

Unresolved fault in D-Link NAS

A serious security flaw has been found in D-Link NAS devices that no longer have support for updates. The company has said that it will not update the 60,000 affected devices. The recommendation from the network device manufacturer is to discard old equipment and buy new models.

Core i3-N305

Namiga has brought us a Core i3-N305 in all modes. It is an 8-core Alder Lake with a TDP of only 15W. Despite the tight consumption, the processor is able to get a lot out of the 8 cores and almost reaches a quarter of a million points with which it fails to enter the top 100.
