https://www.lexhaminsurance.co.uk/blog/top-10-new-motorcycles/ Famed for its CP3 890cc triple motor, the MT-09 has been hitting the streets in various forms since 2013, and in 2024 the Dark Side of Japan hyper-naked series gets an update. On the face of it, Yamaha hasn’t changed much past the headlight – the controversial cyclops look is out, a sleeker dual LED faceplate is in. But there is a bit more under the surface for 2024. Dive deeper and your inner hooligan will be ecstatic. For 2024 the MT-09 keeps its 6-axis IMU with rider aids, adds a Back Slip Regulator and third-gen Quickshifter, has uprated and adjustable suspension, even better Brembo brakes, acoustic amplifier grills on top of the tank, and you can tweak your ride via the TFT dash and Yamaha Ride Control – though the 5 inch TFT does stick out a bit… Though, it seems the price has taken quite a hike to match the new form, now priced at £10,100 in 2024 (the 2023 MT-09 launch price was £8999, the 2023 SP was £10,199, and in 2013 it launched at just under £7k!). It’s getting a bit pricier, but without a doubt it’ll continue selling very well. Honorary mention also goes to the XSR 900 GP, which is the sports bike variant using the same CP3 motor – it wasn’t the R9 that many were hoping to be unveiled for 2024, but it’ll do.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/christmas_2024_food_trends The countdown to Christmas is officially on. Christmas lights are shining bright; the most anticipated Christmas adverts are on TV and festive songs are making their way back onto our playlists. Christmas supermarket delivery slots are also booked up, and now is the time to start thinking about what to put in those shopping baskets. Will you be sticking to the classics this year, or is it time to branch out? We’ve rounded up the festive food trends of 2024 for inspiration. Christmas party ideas According to Tesco, ‘the cheeseboard is the UK’s most po[CENSORED]r festive party food with nearly a fifth placing it as top choice (17%)’, but what else will fill the buffet table? Grazing boards “Across social media we spotted a rising trend in premium grazing boards, so we know customers are looking for DIY options to ‘build-your-own’ board and make it showstopping and bespoke,” says Rich Harding, Asda’s senior innovation chef. On Instagram alone there are 6.3million posts with either the hashtag #charcuterie or #charcuterieboard and, every December this has grown exponentially. Look at any of the supermarket Christmas food guides and they’ll all have charcuterie boards – or plays on them – in them. And the wonderful thing about charcuterie boards? You can personalise them to your tastes. Baked camembert The trend for baked camembert is going up a notch this year. Recipes and retailers are creating versions with various toppings and there are also versions of camembert with ingredients baked around them, creating a sunshine-esq design. Tarte soleil This tarte soleil is a party centrepiece Tarte soleil Among other retailers, this is something Asda is doing, with a pigs in blanket wreath surrounding their camembert. Harding explains they were “inspired by the ever po[CENSORED]r, Instagram-able ‘cheese pull’.” While many cheeses would work, camembert makes an obvious choice because it’s so po[CENSORED]r at Christmas. There’s a 92% increase in searches on the Asda website for ‘camembert’ in the two weeks leading up to Christmas. Miniature mains Whether you’re putting together a ‘picky bits’ dinner for the days between Christmas and New Year or going the whole hog with a party, the trend for miniature mains like mini Yorkshire’s filled with beef and horseradish is growing. Retailers are upping their offerings with topped miniature crumpets, mini fish and chips, burgers, pies and even miniature toasties on sale. Miniature versions of main dishes are growing in po[CENSORED]rity, and these are an easy option “We’ve absolutely seen a growing trend in miniature dishes and they’re po[CENSORED]r as they are the perfect bite-sized portion for a ‘picky bits’ spread – whether at a party or with the family in front of a Christmas film,” says Barbara Ross, Sainsbury’s product development manager. The main event According to Tesco research, 44% of people say Christmas dinner is the one food moment they most look forward to during the holiday season. But what will you serve up this year? Beef on the big day While turkey is the traditional choice, supermarkets are seeing an increase in people opting for beef. In late October, when Ocado’s Christmas slots had been open for a month, their beef sales for Christmas were growing faster than turkey and there was a 33% increase in non-turkey centrepieces compared to 2023. “Beef’s both indulgent and versatile,” says Ocado buyer, Lucy Laister. “It brings a sense of celebration to the table.” Breige Donaghy, product development and innovation director at Tesco adds: “We know people are comfortable cooking roast beef in a variety of ways. It’s also perfect to eat hot on Christmas Day or serve cold as part of a boxing day buffet.” Are you tempted to swap turkey for beef? Sainsbury’s have also spotted an unusual trend for December involving beef. They’ve found 17% of Brits are planning to host a barbeque party during the festive period. “We’ve seen a 74% year-on-year (YoY) increase in customers buying our premium range burgers in December,” adds Graeme Hibbs, Sainsbury’s product development manager. “While 40% of Brits eat the same thing every Christmas, it seems others want to shake up their dining experience and embrace quirky new traditions,” explains Hibbs. ‘Luxury’ fish Scallops, crabs, lobsters and even three fish roasts are on the menu this year, according to experts. “With searches for salmon caviar, tinned fish and our fish pie up over 240%, 200% and 190% on the Waitrose website compared to the same time last year - our customers are looking for more luxury options when it comes to fish,” explains Beth Jacobs, seafood product developer at Waitrose. Talking of fish, one dish is making a big comeback this festive season, behold the prawn cocktail! “Everyone loves a slice of nostalgia and prawn cocktail is a trend that keeps coming back around,” says Jacob. The starter associated with the ’70s and ’80s in the UK seems to be on the rise again. But why now? “Millennials are taking the reins on festive hosting and have a hankering for a bit of nostalgia as 60% are planning to buy food that sparks childhood memories,” explains Claire Hughes, Sainsbury’s director of product and innovation. “As families pass the hosting torch and traditions to younger generations, more people are opting for retro dishes from their childhood,” she adds. Sweet tooth? Previous research by Sainsbury’s found 36% of people don’t like Christmas pudding, but what desserts will be po[CENSORED]r this year? Mince pies with a twist All the major retailers have quirky mince pie options this year, including those infused with alcohol, chocolate, different fruits, spices and toppings. But what’s driving this trend? “We’re seeing that younger customers, in particular, tend to prefer alternatives to the classic spiced mincemeat, which is often heavy on dried fruit and seasonal spices. These shoppers are drawn to lighter, citrus-forward flavours and novel pairings that feel more refreshing,” explains Kevin Sargent, senior product development manager at Co-op. Gluten-free? You don’t have to miss out on the joy of a mince pie Limoncello is growing in po[CENSORED]rity – and you can expect to see it infused into puddings this year. “Italian cuisine is booming on social media and we’ve seen searches for limoncello increase over 250% compared to the same time last year,” says Will Torrent, senior development chef at Waitrose. They – like others – are using it in novel ways. “It complements the festive flavours of panettone and stollen extremely well, bringing a fresh citrusy zing.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly2r4g98gjo Sir Keir Starmer has said he is "not that surprised" that some people who did not vote Labour in the last election want a "re-run" of the poll. A petition on Parliament's website accusing Labour of breaking promises and calling for a new general election has gathered more than two million signatures - the third highest since 2010. The petition has got more than 100,000 signatures, so the subject is likely to be debated in Parliament, but would not trigger a new election. Asked about the petition on ITV's This Morning, Sir Keir said: "There will be plenty of people who didn't want us in the first place... my focus is on the decisions that I have to make every day." The prime minister argued that he had "inherited a lot of problems" from the previous government and that he had decided to "take the hard decisions first". "I’m not surprised, quite frankly, that as we’re doing the tough stuff there are plenty of people who say 'well I’m impacted, I don’t like it'. "But we’ve got to make the big calls on the NHS and on schools that are really important for the here and now and for the future." British citizens and UK residents can set up a petition on the UK government or Parliament website. Petitions that get more than 10,000 signatures will get a response from the government and ones that gather over 100,000 names will be considered for a debate in Parliament. In 2019, a petition calling for Brexit to be cancelled received 6.1 million signatures. Four years later a call for a second Brexit referendum garnered 4.2 million names. This petition urging the government to hold a new general election was set up last week and has been promoted by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and tech billionaire Elon Musk. In order to sign a petition, you are asked to tick a box confirming you are a British citizen or UK resident and provide a postcode. The petition reads: "I would like there to be another general election. I believe the current Labour government have gone back on the promises they laid out in the lead up to the last election." It comes five months after Labour won a landslide victory in the July general election, securing 9.7 million votes and 402 seats in the House of Commons. However, it only received 35% share of the vote - the lowest won by a single party government since the end of the war. Speaking to ITV, Sir Keir said: "Look, I remind myself that very many people didn't vote Labour at the last election. "I'm not surprised that many of them want a rerun. That isn't how our system works." He also said he had expected governing to be "difficult" but added: "I wouldn't swap a single day in opposition for a day in power. "It's much better to be in power, to do things."

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdxv0qddqp9o A golden eagle has died after flying into a wind turbine in Dumfries and Galloway, a conservation group has said. Three-year-old male Sparky, which was fledged from a nest by the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project, was found 15 metres (49ft) from a turbine base at the Windy Rig wind farm in August. One of its wings had been detached. Project leaders say tests carried out on the bird showed its fatal injuries were "typical of those associated with a wind turbine strike". They say the death highlights the need to mitigate risks to endangered birds at proposed and existing turbine sites. The group's chairman Chris Rollie said: “We are devastated to learn of Sparky’s death. "Evidence to date has suggested golden eagles tend to avoid windfarms, but without the state-of-the-art satellite tagging that the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project provides, incidents of this nature are hard to detect. "This reinforces the urgent need for decision-makers to work closely with The South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project and our Raptor Study Group as further windfarms are approved." The eagle project has been introducing and fledging birds at its secret site near Moffat since 2018. In 2022, it became the first in the world to successfully translocate seven free-flying young golden eagles - aged between six months and three years - to boost the low po[CENSORED]tion. Earlier this year, the group said that thanks to its work the golden eagle po[CENSORED]tion in southern Scotland had risen to 47 - the highest in centuries.

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cn0d7rzywygo Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah says he is "disappointed" by the club's failure to offer him a new contract - and looks more likely to leave than stay. The 32-year-old, Liverpool's top scorer this season with 12 goals in all competitions, is out of contract at the end of the season. Salah scored twice in the 3-2 win against Southampton on Sunday, including the winner from the penalty spot, to take Liverpool eight points clear at the top of the Premier League. The Egypt forward, who joined the Reds from Roma in 2017, told reporters, external after the win at St Mary's: "We are almost in December and I haven't received any offers yet to stay in the club. "I'm probably more out than in." Asked if he was disappointed that he is yet to receive an offer, Salah said: "Of course, yeah. "I'm not going to retire soon so I'm just playing, focusing on the season and I'm trying to win the Premier League and hopefully the Champions League as well. I'm disappointed but we will see." Liverpool have not publicly commented on Salah's remarks. A club source told BBC Sport that contact between Liverpool and Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, is ongoing and has been positive. Liverpool take eight-point lead as Salah inspires win at Southampton Only Manchester City forward Erling Halaand has scored more Premier League goals than Salah this season, with the Egyptian netting 10 times in the top flight. According to Opta, Salah's goals and assists have been worth 17 points to Liverpool this season - the most of any player in the division. Salah signed a three-year contract extension with the club in 2022, with that deal set to expire in the summer. "You know I have been in the club for many years. There is no club like this," said Salah. "I love the fans. The fans love me. In the end it is not in my hands or the fans' hands. Let's wait and see." Defender Trent Alexander-Arnold and club captain Virgil van Dijk are out of contract at the same time as Salah. Liverpool rejected a £150m offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad in September 2023 and multiple sources have told BBC Sport that the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (PIF) remains interested in bringing Salah to the Saudi Arabia Pro League. Following a 3-0 win against Manchester United in September, Salah said he treated the game as if it was the "last time" he would play at Old Trafford. After scoring the winner in a 2-1 victory against Brighton this month that took Liverpool top of the table, Salah wrote on X: "No matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like." Mohamed Salah had a point he wanted to make outside St Mary's Stadium. Reporters often wait near the team coach and try to talk to players before they head home - at Liverpool, confident characters who are native English speakers like Andy Robertson are most likely to stop. It is exceptionally rare that Salah has spoken to journalists before boarding the coach - he did so this time knowing exactly what he would be asked about. Salah's responses are his way of making sure the public is clear about his frustration with Liverpool's lack of urgency to resolve the situation. The determination with which Salah has started the season, the stellar physical condition he is in, and his urge to force Liverpool’s hand all make clear that he believes he has much longer left at the very top of the game in Europe. The evidence strongly suggests he is right. So why are Liverpool dragging their heels? Maybe the much-lauded data analysis personnel at Liverpool are concerned that Salah's performances may drop off if he signs another three-year extension, which would take him to the age of 36. Or perhaps Liverpool are biding their time because they know that agreeing a deal with Salah would give Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold a yardstick for the type of salary they should demand in their own respective contract negotiations. Whatever the reason, public uncertainty over the future of a player who remains among the world's very best and who ranks very highly in the pantheon of Liverpool legends, could risk compromising a season that has started marvellously under new boss Arne Slot's stewardship.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3e8y1qly52o Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel has told the BBC the gas deals she made with Russia were intended to help German firms and kept the peace with Moscow. She also insisted the war with Ukraine would have started earlier if she hadn’t blocked Kyiv’s entry into Nato in 2008. Angela Merkel led Germany for 16 years. She was in office during the financial crisis, the 2015 migrant crisis and, significantly, Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine. Was she too soft on Moscow? Too slow to help Kyiv? If she hadn't blocked Ukraine’s Nato membership in 2008, would there be a war there now? Speaking to the BBC in Berlin, Mrs Merkel is robust in her defence of her time in office. She says she believes the war in Ukraine would have started sooner and would likely have been worse, if Kyiv had begun the path to Nato membership in 2008. "We would have seen military conflict even earlier. It was completely clear to me that President Putin would not have stood idly by and watched Ukraine join Nato. "And back then, Ukraine as a country would certainly not have been as prepared as it was in February 2022." Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky disagrees. He describes Mrs Merkel’s Nato decision, backed by then-French President Nicolas Sarkozy, as a clear "miscalculation" that emboldened Russia. Mrs Merkel was involved in several diplomatic initiatives that failed to achieve a lasting peace In a rare interview since she stepped down from politics three years ago, Mrs Merkel expresses concern about Vladimir Putin’s renewed threats of using nuclear weapons. The two leaders got to know each other well over the course of two decades. "We must do everything possible to prevent the use of nuclear weapons,” the former German Chancellor says. "Thankfully, China also spoke about this a while back. We shouldn't be paralysed by fear, but we must also acknowledge that Russia is the biggest, or alongside the US, one of the two biggest nuclear powers in the world. "The potential is frightening." Despite enjoying high po[CENSORED]rity ratings during most of her time in office, Mrs Merkel now finds herself on the defensive. She has just published her memoir, Freedom. And the timing is interesting. She says she did everything in her power to ensure peaceful means of co-operation with Russia. In fact, Mr Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine just months after she left office. This prompted a thorough re-examination in Europe of energy policies, diplomacy with Russia and also migration policies that had become the norm under Mrs Merkel. Angela Merkel was seen as one of the few Western leaders who might be able to influence Russia's Vladimir Putin At the helm of Europe’s biggest economy, she was, as former Italian premier Matteo Renzi says, the de-facto leader of Europe - "the boss of the European Union". "Do you remember when [former US Secretary of State] Henry Kissinger used to say 'what is the telephone number of Europe?'," he says. "My answer was: clearly, the mobile number of Angela Merkel." He adds that when judging the Merkel legacy - over Russia and otherwise - it is important to remember the norms of the time. "One cannot attack Angela for the relations with Russia," he says. "In 2005, 2006 [they] were a goal of everyone in Europe, not only a goal of Angela Merkel." Under Mrs Merkel, Germany and its energy-hungry big industries became dependent on Moscow. Germany built two gas pipelines directly linked to Russia. President Zelensky described that cheap gas as a geopolitical tool of the Kremlin. Mrs Merkel tells the BBC she had two motives with the pipelines: German business interests but also maintaining peaceful links with Russia. Fellow EU and Nato members in eastern Europe strongly disagreed with her. The Polish MP, Radoslaw Fogiel, said German gas money filled Russia’s war chest - used to fund the invasion of Ukraine. Mrs Merkel insists she tried to curb Russian attacks on Ukraine using diplomacy and negotiations, which - she admits - ultimately failed. And German industry has been disproportionately hit by sanctions on Russian energy. Forced to look for other suppliers, the country is now buying expensive LNG. Businesses says they are crippled by the costs. A new era in Europe’s relations with Russia "regrettably" began following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, says Mrs Merkel. On Monday, defence ministers from the UK, France, Germany, Poland and Italy are meeting to discuss the deteriorating situation on Ukraine’s frontlines. US President Donald Trump strongly criticised Mrs Merkel for building two gas pipelines with Russia Ms Merkel, 70, now finds herself having to defend her legacy in other areas too. The migration crisis of 2015, when she famously opened Germany’s doors to over a million asylum seekers, was perhaps the defining moment of her time in office. It was hated by some, hailed by others. US President Barack Obama praised her as a courageous and moral leader. But critics blamed her for breathing life into the then almost redundant far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. It is now polling comfortably in second place in German public opinion polls, ahead of a snap general election early next year. The AfD’s main political rallying cry: a strong anti-migrant message. Angela Merkel admits the AfD made big gains, but she makes no apology for her political decisions. As for suggestions that her 2015 policies helped fuel anti-immigration and far-right parties elsewhere too, including the Netherlands, Poland and France, after she tried to impose migrant quotas across EU countries, Mrs Merkel says she can’t be held responsible for all of Europe. The only way to combat the far right is to stop illegal migration, she says. She calls on Europe’s leaders to invest more in African nations to improve standards of living there, so fewer people will be tempted to leave their homes. But with Europe’s economies sluggish, and voters worried about the cost of living, governments say there is little cash to spare. Reuters Angela Merkel taking a selfie with a Syrian refugeeReuters Angela Merkel's Germany welcomed over a million refugees in 2015, at the height of the war in Syria Angela Merkel appeared to put her country and its economic interests first when it came to buying Russian energy or during the eurozone crisis - when southern EU nations blamed her for squeezing them with austerity measures in order to rescue German banks and businesses. But even at home in Germany, she is now accused of simply "managing" successive crises and failing to make far-reaching, perhaps painful reforms to future-proof her country and the EU. Germany is now labelled by some as "the sick man of Europe". Once an export powerhouse on the world stage, its economy hovers just above recession. Voters complain she failed to invest in roads, railways and digitalisation, in favour of maintaining a balanced budget. Under Angela Merkel, Germany not only became reliant on Russia for energy, but on China and the US for trade. Those decisions have not stood the test of time. Donald Trump threatens punishing tariffs on imports when he returns to the White House in January. Mrs Merkel does have some thoughts for Europe’s nervous leaders faced with Trump 2.0. His first term in office was marked by anger at Europe, particularly Germany, over low defence spending and trade deficits. Those gripes with Europe haven't changed. What are the Merkel tips for handling him? Mr Trump accused other Nato countries of not meeting their defence targets and threatened tariffs on EU exports, especially German cars "It’s really important to know what your priorities are, to present them clearly and not to be scared, because Donald Trump can be very outspoken," she says. "He expresses himself very clearly. And if you do that, there is a certain mutual respect. That was my experience anyway." But Europe’s leaders facing the US, China, and Russia, are apprehensive - arguably more so than during Angela Merkel’s time. Economies are sluggish, voters unhappy, traditional politics under pressure from the far-right and the far-left. China and Russia are more bullish, the West weaker on the world stage. Wars burn in the Middle East and in Europe, with Donald Trump appearing less interested in bolstering European security. Perhaps that’s why Angela Merkel says, these days, when world leaders she knows well call her for advice, she happily responds. But when I ask if she misses all that power and politics, her swift answer is: "No, not at all."

https://www.gadgets360.com/cryptocurrency/news/ernst-young-ey-metaverse-ai-coach-eve-hiring-process-7103299 Ernst & Young (EY), one of the ‘Big Four' consultancy firms, has integrated the metaverse element from Web3 into its hiring process. The London based firm, that also has offices in India, has launched a service called eVe, that essentially offers a warm-up pre-interview preparation for candidates applying for a role at the company. The service is aimed at helping job applicants gather information around the dos and don'ts before appearing for in-person interviews. The eVe platform lets job seekers engage with an AI avatar of an EY associate. This avatar can be seen in a metaverse setting of a photorealistic background of what looks like an EY office. The avatar, that currently only supports the English language, prompts visitors to ask their questions around the interview process at EY. “You can ask me a wide range of questions about interview preparation and wellbeing benefits at EY. For interviewing, you can inquire about behavioural interviewing, technical interviewing, or case studies. If you have a specific question in mind, feel free to ask,” the digital assistant says. It goes on to explain how people can navigate through finding and applying for job opportunities at the firm, which has recorded an estimated global revenue of approximately $51 billion (roughly Rs. 4,29,796 crore) in 2024. People can ask eVe about EY's compensation benefits, pension plans, and other related follow-up questions. It's worth noting that the EY's digital avatar does not provide a virtual tour of the EY offices yet. It does, however, saves the chat records for users to revisit notes shared by the AI assistant. The company has shared an email ID directed to its ‘metaverse lab' unit for people to report any grievances they might have with the service of the platform. As per a report by Business Insider, candidates who apply for jobs at EY are sent a link to eVe where they can have their FAQs around the interview process answered in detail. The eVe platform was thoroughly tested for months before being rolled out, the report added. Citing EY's global lead of Metaverse Lab, the report noted that younger job applicants are spending an average of 15 to 20 minutes conversing with eVe. According to a blog post by EY, its Cognitive Human Enterprise team has been creating a virtual world. “With a market estimated to reach $800 billion (roughly Rs. 67,42,664 crore) in two years, the metaverse has the power to transform all industries. Organisations that address the innovation potential now will be well positioned to harness the opportunities that it will unleash,” the blog notes.

https://techxplore.com/news/2024-11-world-warcraft-strong-celebrates-years.html As it celebrates its 20th birthday, online video game "World of Warcraft" has demonstrated a rare longevity thanks to its loyal following and constant evolutions. "It is inspiring to be able to work on this rare game that has touched so many lives, and to also feel the burden of carrying that forward," Ion Hazzikostas, the current director of the game, told AFP at the Gamescom trade show in Germany in August. As an early fan of "WoW" he joined California-based Blizzard, the American developer of the title, in 2008 before climbing the ranks. Although it was not the first massively multiplayer online role-playing game (a genre known as MMORPG) when it was released in 2004, "World of Warcraft" was an instant success, quickly attracting several million players worldwide. It benefited from the po[CENSORED]rity of the Warcraft brand, a saga of real-time strategy games launched ten years earlier by Blizzard, which was bought by Microsoft in 2023. In the game, two factions face off in a fantasy universe po[CENSORED]ted by orcs and elves where thousands of players can connect and cooperate simultaneously, in exchange for a monthly subscription of $15 a month. It was the social aspect of the experience, still in its infancy at the time, that appealed to players. "It was a precursor," said Olivier Servais, a specialist in online communities. "Blizzard focused on guilds and communities on a human scale, bringing together between 30 and 200 players." In these groups, "people flirt, they confide about their daily lives", weddings and funerals are organised, and the game becomes "a pretext to socialise", he said. "WoW" was born the same year as Facebook, and comprised key elements such as online interactions and communities that would help create today's globalised social networks. "It was many people's first real exposure and connection to people in a digital virtual environment. And that was part of the magic, and that's a hard thing to replicate," Hazzikostas said. Since then, other po[CENSORED]r games such as "Fortnite" or "League of Legends" have adopted similar codes. At its peak in the 2010s, "World of Warcraft" claimed more than 10 million active accounts, though the number could be higher because many people often share one account, in Asia, in particular. Blizzard no longer reveals the number of accounts, but "WoW" remains po[CENSORED]r across the world. "We are not resting on our laurels, or coasting gently off into the sunset," Hazzikostas said. Its 10th extension, "The War Within", was released in August with new domains to explore and other changes. "Twenty years later, it remains a monument but in a gaming market that has completely changed," Servais said. Hazzikostas said Blizzard is "trying new ambitious things to shake up what we've done and keep that vibrant". "I don't see an end point to 'World of Warcraft' on the horizon today," he said, drawing parallels with franchises such as Marvel or Star Wars.

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/ram-benchmark-hierarchy Our RAM benchmark hierarchy will help you find the fastest DDR5 and DDR4 memory kit for your system. Consumers often overlook RAM (Random Access Memory). However, memory is one of the most critical pieces of hardware in any system. The right or wrong memory kit significantly impacts your system's overall performance in gaming, productivity, and (if you don't have enough of it) general sluggishness. Of course, you can always reference our Best RAM list to find the best deals on memory. Companies regularly release new memory kits with different speeds, timings, capacities, and ranks, making sifting through seemingly endless models surprisingly time-consuming. Our RAM benchmark hierarchy aims to provide a simple database that ranks the best memory kits based on pure performance. We use a geometric mean of our memory benchmarking results to keep the ranking objective and discard the intangibles, like aesthetics and overclocking headroom. We've got those details in the individual RAM reviews. Furthermore, we suspect many of you would value performance over anything else. However, the geometric means don't always tell the whole story: If you're looking for performance in a specific workload or gaming, we recommend looking at the full review of the memory kit you have in mind. The score results originate from the geometric mean from our RAM benchmark suite, which consists of scripted and real-world tests. They include Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Adobe Lightroom, Cinebench 2024, Corona 12 benchmark, Blender 4.0 benchmark, V-Ray 6 benchmark, 7-Zip compression and decompression, HandBrake x264 and x265 conversion, LuxMark v4, Windows AI inference, and Y-Cruncher. For simplicity, we've separated the memory kits into different categories according to their densities. Then, we ranked the memory kits for each capacity from best to worst for both Intel and AMD systems. The score on our hierarchy may differ slightly from the geometric mean in the individual review. The discrepancy is because we strive to provide results on the most recent and relevant Intel and AMD platforms. Keeping the metrics in the table as up-to-date as possible involves retesting every memory kit. We rest when there's been a substantial change in either of our test systems, such as a new processor, motherboard, or graphics card (or even new firmware revisions), to name a few. Memory pricing is very volatile. We've restrained ourselves from providing a price-to-performance value since it only captures the pricing for one static moment, and memory pricing fluctuates far too much. So, while you can see up-to-date pricing in each table below, the performance measurements don't consider the price tag. If you're undecided between two particular kits, it's easy to evaluate the options by dividing the real-time pricing by the geometric mean. Naturally, you'll want the lowest value possible, as a lower number represents more bang for your buck. Update 25/11: We're updating the memory kits with the latest Intel and AMD platforms (Z890 and X870). The current rankings are still valid if you compare memory kits within the same capacity.
