There's no doubt that the Pixel 3a (pictured above) and the Pixel 3a XL were big hits for Google in 2019 – combining decent specs, an excellent camera, and an affordable price – and now we have our first real look at what the Pixel 4a might offer.

Unofficial renderings put together by seasoned tipster @OnLeaks show Google's next budget phone from all angles, and it looks as though this could be another mid-range phone worthy of some serious consideration.

As usual with @OnLeaks renders, these aren't snaps of the actual handset – these are computer-generated graphics based on information leaked from the mobile phone supply chain, so the final design may vary.

We can see a punch-hole camera up in the top left corner of the display, plus a fingerprint sensor around the back (a feature ditched in the Pixel 4 phones), and a traditional 3.5mm audio jack for your wired headphones.

According to @OnLeaks and 91mobiles, the Pixel 4a will be sporting a 5.7-inch or 5.8-inch display, a slight increase over the Pixel 3a. The bezels on the new phone will be slightly smaller than its predecessor too.

What's not clear is what camera technology the Pixel 4a is going to be packing – remember the Pixel 3a had the same rear camera as the Pixel 3 – and we're also waiting to hear if the handset will keep the Motion Sense gesture detection of the Pixel 4.

If Google follows the same schedule as last year, then you can expect the Pixel 4a to get its official unveiling at the Google IO 2020 expo in May. We should get some news about what's coming with Android 11 at the same time.

Until then we've only got unofficial leaks and rumors to go on – but given the track record of @OnLeaks, there's a good chance that the Pixel 4a (and the Pixel 4a XL) are going to end up looking something like this.

AMD’s EPYC processors have, by and large, been very well received by server vendors and users and if you head over to eBay, you will see a number of server processors being sold for dirt-cheap prices, a very enticing way to build a powerful workstation on a budget.

At the time of writing, the cheapest 32-core processor worth buying (outside of older Intel Xeon CPUs) is an EPYC 7551 ES on sale for $329, a price that includes global expedited international shipping. 

ES means engineering samples and this one was launched back in June 2017 with an eye-watering price tag of $3,400; that’s a near 90% discount! Even if you missed that one, there’s plenty of other slightly more expensive 7551 parts on offer.

An Epyc deal

The processor is based on the ZEN microarchitecture and uses the Naples processor core. It has 32 cores and 64 threads, with a clock speed of 1.6GHz. It uses a 14nm manufacturing process and has a TDP of 180W.

It supports up to 2TB memory (up to DDR4-2666) and has a L2/L3 cache of 16MB and 64MB respectively. Note that you will need a compatible heatsink fan and motherboards, probably flashed with the latest firmware, in order to get that processor working.

Compatible motherboards and systems include the Dell EMC PowerEdge R6415 and R7415 rack servers as well as the Supermicro H11SSL-i and H11DSi-B and the Gigabyte MZ31-AR0.

Given that the cheapest mainstream 32-core CPU, the Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX, retails for a stonking $1799 at Newegg, this is definitely a whopper of a bargain.
