I've read that a new version of Etherium (or whatever it's called) might rool out in November, which could cause at this craze to bomb, or at least slow down for a little while.

I am going to be watching ebay like a hawk. Haha

Start watching now!

Steep decline in cryptocurrency market has miners dumping their GPUs on Ebay

Ethereum, one of the most popular cryptocurrencies, is becoming more difficult to mine. At the same time, volatility is rearing its welcome head, and the value of Ethereum is now less than half of what it was around a month ago. As a result, profitability is way down, and some miners are putting their GPUs up for sale on second-hand sites such as Ebay, CoinDesk reports.

Ok, here are one good rumor from Intel, and one bad piece of news from MSoft/Intel:

Intel preparing multiple 6-core Coffee Lake CPUs

Can we call that a rumor though? It was on Intels Roadmaps from over a year or two ago.

The new tidbit is that it's going to be more than one chip... And notebooks will also have 6-core chips as well, which is going to be brilliant.

Interested to see if AMD manages to bring Ryzen to notebooks eventually and how many cores it throws at it.

Yes, that was the rumor part I mentioned.

And I think AMD will focus first on APUs, and then notebooks/laptops. An APU based on a quad core Zen APU plus an 560 could be a very popular solution for gaming HTPCs.
