Sales problems? Nope, it’s on! With this we start the next sunday wave of weirdness from the net. Findings to celebrate…
Once again, enthusiast overclockers have taken DDR5 memory to a new level of performance. Using LN2 on Intel’s Z790 platform, DDR5 memory achieved impressive overclocking speeds of 11202 Mbps. The current record was set by American overclocker SEBY9123, who used a single Trident Z5 RGB DIMM from G.Skill to beat the previous record set by [...]
Ann Kelleher, general manager of technology development at Intel, presented an overview of the company’s latest developments in several key areas at ITF World 2023 in Antwerp, Belgium. One particularly exciting revelation was Intel’s future use of stacked CFET transistors. This presentation marked the first time Intel publicly [...]
Recently, we have repeatedly seen how much performance can be packed into the smallest space with the new Ryzen CPUs. Today, it goes in the opposite direction, because Intel presents a power-saving alternative for office use with the new N-series processors. With a TDP of only 6 watts, it is almost on Raspberry Pi level. You can find out if the [...]
NVIDIA officially unveiled its mid-range RTX 40 graphics card lineup today, which consists of three different models, although it’s not a real launch with benchmarks and unboxing yet. Of particular note here, however, is the RTX 4060 Ti, which will launch in two variants with 8 GB for an MSRP of €439 and with 16 GB of video memory (VRAM) for [...]
