The launch of AMD’s Zen 5 processors is close, as motherboard manufacturers begin rolling out BIOSes supporting the next-gen chips-
The launch of AMD’s Zen 5 based Granite Ridge family of processors is clearly drawing near. Asus has begun the process of rolling out support for the next-gen chips to its latest enthusiast tier X670E motherboards. The public release of supporting BIOSes indicates the chips could be released at basically any time.
The eagle-eyed hardware leaker HXL spotted the release of the BIOS series over at the Asus ROG forums. There have been seven BIOSes released so far—all for Asus ROG boards. All of them include the latest AGESA update, which is named FireRangePi.
With this news, just how close are we to Zen 5’s release? Publicly, AMD has only said it’s aiming for a launch in the second half of 2024. AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su’s Computex keynote on June 3 would be a logical forum to r…
WoW’s telegraphs are so cluttered that even the best guild in the world is using darkening potions during raids so they can fight more effectively-
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight has its fans and detractors, but on one point a huge number of players agree: the game’s telegraphs, the visual and audio cues that show what a given character is about to do, have become harder than ever to see. Some abilities have similar colours to the environment, while with others the hitbox behind the visual pizazz isn’t clear at all. Conveniently enough, however, Dragonflight arrived with a new kind of consumable that the world’s best players are using to see through the fog.
The following clip is from Team Liquid’s recent attempt at a world first Raid clear, during which one of the team pops an Inky Black Potion as they fight a boss: an item that “darkens the world around you” for two hours. Team Liquid is using this to make it easier …

SEBI’s AIF detailed data share full of valuable insights to aid niche policy interventions
By Gopal Srinivasan
As someone deeply entrenched in the private equity and venture capital industry for the past two decades, I find the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)’s quarterly publication on Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) as of March 2024, released on June 20, 2024, particularly noteworthy.
Fund managers, who previously harboured concerns over the submission of extensive data, must now commend SEBI for its painstaking efforts to transform this data into valuable insights.

Venture debt deals largely loan-driven
With venture debt funds shying away from subscribing to equity warrants at high valuations, most start-ups are closing out pure-debt deals at high coupon rates. “Start-ups are taking on debt at higher than the usual 14-15.5%. Interest rates on these can go as high as 18-20%,”said an investor.
The number of deals, with an equity upside, has fallen sharply. Compared with 38 deals in 2022 and 49, the year before, Tracxn data shows that startups have closed out only 17 venture debt deals this year so far.

Rupee closes at record low
The rupee fell 6 paise against the dollar to close at a record low of Rs 83.57 on Tuesday, weighed down by a strong dollar. The weakness in the local currency was in sync with that of other Asian currencies and comes ahead of the US Federal Reserve’s rate decision this week.
The local currency plunged to as low as 83.5725, near to its previous record low of 83.5750 touched in April, but likely intervention from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) prevented any further fall in the rupee.
