The DigiTimes report, which cites Wei Shaojun, a professor at Tsinghua University and vice president of the China Semiconductor Industry Association, says the goals of China’s “Made in China 2025” program are unlikely to be met. It points out that Chinese chipmakers will struggle to meet 70 percent of domestic demand for ICs by [...]
AMD is poking fun at the almost homeopathic memory expansion of the NVIDIA Ada mid-range, and NVIDIA feels secure enough with smart memory management, and in the end, the customer no longer knows what to buy. Although I do not question the issue of the too tightly measured memory expansion, because it is what it is and cannot be glossed over [...]
According to the current rumors, Intel could be planning to launch its Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs as early as October. These processors are expected to be positioned as part of the 14th generation of Intel processors. It is also expected that the Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs will be an evolution of the existing Raptor Lake CPUs, offering improved [...]
According to DigiTimes, it is reported that Nvidia is interested in evaluating SK Hynix’s HBM3E samples, as indicated by “industry insiders.” If this information is accurate, the next generation of Nvidia GPUs for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications could potentially use HBM3E memory instead of [...]
The problems around this connection do not stop, but exact numbers about real cases of damage are always rare. Even lists in social networks, forums, or collective threads on Reddit do not accurately reflect the real damage that has occurred. The number of people who do not speak out publicly could be much higher. Unfortunately, retailers and [...]
We call ourselves Hardware Busters because one of our many missions is to debunk hardware-related myths. Today’s article and video are an excellent example of that! I got suspicious when I noticed an article on Tom’s Hardware titled: “User Reports 12VHPWR Connector Melting From the PSU Side (Updated)“. However, that looks [...]
The PC community is known for its ability to push hardware performance to ever new peaks. The days there was an impressive benchmark from a user called CENS on HWbot. CENS managed to overclock an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 GPU to an amazing 3,930 MHz. This graphics card, which is one of the absolute top models, already has a boost clock of 2,520 MHz [...]
We recently wrote about the LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B in a detailed article, and I recommend it to those who already want to buy an OLED monitor. The OLED monitors are currently still quite expensive, but compared to some IPS or VA alternatives – especially the LG 27GR95QE – offers decisive advantages. Contrast and HDR gaming – [...]
It looks like AMD is going to launch a new AM4 CPU. Interesting move for this older socket, but a good news for upgraders. According to reports, AMD is planning to release the Ryzen 5 5600X3D. This information came to light through leaks published by chi11eddog. With the launch of the new AMD Ryzen 7000 series, this would be an exciting [...]
The Crux with the Minor version of .NET
The. NET-Framework now runs like a thread through help forums and grief boxes, although to Microsoft's relief we also want to note that many problems that arise are more likely to ...
What goes around comes around, and I was already a bit torn during the test 5 months ago, so I decided not to judge the Creative Sound Blaster X5 on my first impressions, but to run it in parallel with my HIFIMAN EF 400 for a longer time with various headphones alternately. In principle, not much has changed in the acoustically oriented judgment [...]
So far, NVIDIA’s H100 GPU has been the most energy-intensive chip for data centers since its launch, as it had a maximum rated power of 700 W. However, this situation will change with the introduction of the Instinct MI300X, which will have even higher power consumption s0ll. The AMD Instinct MI300X GPU is listed in the presentation [...]
Intel has indeed announced a major brand update for its Intel Core, Intel Evo and Intel vPro products. This update marks the beginning of a new era for these brands and is the biggest update in 15 years. The Intel Core brand has long been synonymous with high-performance processors for PCs and laptops. With the new brand update, Intel aims to [...]
AMD officially presented its new EPYC Bergamo CPUs, which are equipped with the Zen 4C CPU cores. Thanks to this potent core architecture, AMD can achieve an impressive doubling of core density compared to the conventional Genoa chips. This allows the Bergamo CPUs to support up to 128 cores and 256 threads, a 33.3% increase over the standard Zen 4 [...]
Whenever you think IPS panels have reached the end of their raison d’être, ASUS ROG comes along. They’re sending another monitor into the race to win the favor of eSports gamers. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQMR is a 1440p monitor with a Fast IPS panel and offers up to 300Hz refresh rate. What makes this IPS panel special is the use of IGZO [...]
I admit, it was tempting to test the current Radeon Pro W7800 as a gaming card, because AMD’s offerings between the already launched RX 7900 XT(X) and the RX 7600 are conspicuous by their noble absence on the market. At least the Radeon RX 7800XT has been ready for a long time, only that the chip is marketed as Radeon Pro W7800. Reason [...]
Since I like to measure everything that has just any plug (or socket) and also want to support my friend Aris in his work, I brought the latest PMD (Power Measurements Device) right from Taipei (along with something else that was then unfortunately less beautiful, but free). The first brand new Powenetics kits were already delivered to their happy [...]
CD PROJEKT RED today released a new trailer for Phantom Liberty, the upcoming spy thriller expansion for the game Cyberpunk 2077. In the video, Phantom Liberty’s Narrative Director Igor Sarzyński and Senior Communication Manager Paweł Burza give a detailed look at the story and setting of the new adventure. The trailer was first presented [...]
The Apple M2 Ultra SoC represents the company’s top model. With an impressive number of 134 billion transistors, it offers outstanding performance. The CPU consists of a total of 24 cores, which operate in a configuration of 16 (for maximum performance) and 8 (for optimal efficiency). In addition, the SoC has up to 76 GPU cores and a unified [...]
Today’s dish of the day: Last-Gen grapes with lots of seeds and a multi-layered PCB sandwich to go with it. Would you like some rebranded dessert to go with it? Find out in the following test report whether you’ll spoil your stomach with it or if you can still satisfy your hunger for performance. Oh, by the way, we already had a system [...]
