Bearing in mind the adversities at the first attempt and the possible influence of the human factor, we have (hopefully) solved it better this time with expert support. Of course, there will be a detailed and transparent report on the exact development of the idea, the first prototypes and many empirical values, but today I don’t want to [...]
Everything used to be better, right? At least that’s what most adults say to younger people, that everything used to be better. If you don’t believe that retro is no longer good for anything, AYANEO could prove you wrong. The company has introduced a number of products that are a remake of various retro products. Even without the [...]
Well, we’re not doing anything technical today, but it’s certainly a good opportunity to think about what we’re actually celebrating this weekend. Days off or something more? Pentecost, also known as the Feast of the Holy Spirit, has deep spiritual and historical roots that have had a lasting impact on both the religious and [...]
The Strix Halo APU is based on a chiplet design with up to three This shows Olrak_29 on X, two CCDs (Core Chiplets) and one GCD (Graphics Chiplet). This enables flexible configuration and scalable performance. The CCDs offer up to 16 Zen 5 cores with 32 threads and up to 64 MB L3 cache, while the GCD houses the RDNA 3 graphics architecture with up [...]
I have tested so many of these small computers with Intel’s N-series processors that I should actually be familiar with all the underlying circuit boards. In most cases, only a different housing or imprint is used from brand to brand, the innards remain the same. That’s why I now turn down requests, because there’s no need to [...]
Even though winter is slowly being consigned to the past and summer temperatures are on their way, Sapphire is keeping things frosty for the time being. The company has unveiled its new Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT Frostpunk 2 graphics card. Sapphire announced that together with the studio 11 bit, known for games such as This War of Mine or [...]
An energy-hungry powerhouse for AI and HPC With up to 1500 watts TDP and liquid cooling, Intel is entering the AI accelerator market with full force, reports Computerbase. Higher performance, higher energy consumption. At ISC 24, Intel unveiled details of its next generation of GPUs, Falcon Shores, causing quite a stir. With a TDP of up to 1500 [...]
ASUS presented its new ROG Strix XG27UCS monitor yesterday, which offers a number of highlights for gamers. With 160 Hz and a 4K resolution, it is definitely a possible purchase option for gamers. But very slowly. What do you expect explicitly with this new monitor? The monitor is 27 inches in size and measures 3840 x 2160. As already mentioned [...]
AMD is ending the use of HS, H and U designations for 15-45W mobile processors and instead introducing the scalable “Ryzen AI” branding, reports Weibo. In a significant move to simplify its mobile processor portfolio, AMD has announced it will discontinue the previous HS, H and U designations for 15-45W TDP (Thermal Design Power) chips [...]
Today’s test of the two BOYA dual channel wireless lavalier microphones BY XM6 S6 (USB-C) and BY XM6 S4/K4 (Lightning) has a very personal background and even a longer history. I will now briefly introduce this, as it is also a longer practical test. The only difference between the K4 and the S4 is the additional charging cradle [...]
Just a while ago, we reported on the listing of AMD Ryzen 7 8700F and Ryzen 5 8400F CPUs at Canadian and European retailers. Now the company is officially launching the two CPUs, including a price. What to expect from the new APUs? The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F APU is based on an 8-core and 16-thread configuration with the still current Zen 4 architecture [...]
When a memory manufacturer launches new DDR5 memory chips on the market, a review from us is naturally not far away. After Micron introduced the 24 Gbit Rev B ICs in the middle of last year, there are now more new additions almost a year later, but this time with 16 Gbit and initially only in products of their own brand, Crucial. The [...]
Samsung’s HBM3E memory encounters obstacles: Technical issues or strategic battle? AlphaBiz reports suggest that Samsung is struggling to meet the HBM3E memory tests set by NVIDIA. This could be a setback for the Korean giant, which has seen an upswing in its memory business in recent quarters. Initial reports suggested that Samsung’s [...]
I’m writing today’s editorial because I was annoyed yesterday by an email whose impertinence is hard to top. It’s not about the manufacturer and their products, which are probably okay. It’s about the way this company, through its PR department, insults media and testers. You might think that the modern work world already [...]
The HBM industry is experiencing a huge growth spurt, fueled by groundbreaking innovations such as the recent announcement by SK Hynix, the Korean memory giant, which has revealed plans for HBM4E memory, reported EtNews. SK Hynix aims to set new standards with HBM4E by combining semiconductors and memory into a single package. HBM as a key [...]
After we published Aris’ article about the power consumption of the Core i9-13900K in Cinebench 23 on Monday, I’m following up today with a larger program scope. And yes, I’m deliberately using a Z690 board because I also used it for the launch of Raptor Lake S and the subsequent refresh. That makes the comparison much easier [...]
MSI has unveiled its new version of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER. This time, however, not under its Ventus title, which is already available from MSI, but under its new Shadow 3X series. It also comes with a brand new color and it is the first time that MSI uses such a brown color. What technical specifications can you expect for this product [...]
There’s been a lot of talk lately about Intel’s potential degradation issues with the high-end 13th and 14th generation CPUs, so I thought I’d use Powenetics and test an i9-13900K under three different power settings: Standard, Performance and Extreme. Then there’s the “Insane” profile, where you set the 4096 [...]
Even though Intel is currently being celebrated for the new BIOS profiles for CPUs from Raptor Lake onwards on all the Z790 mainboards – has anyone ever asked themselves what will happen to the Z690 mainboards, which are also compatible? There’s nothing yet, nothing has been announced and you slowly get the impression that those [...]
If you take a closer look at the handheld console market, there really isn’t much choice. At least among the better-known companies. There is the Nintendo Switch or the well-known Steam Deck, which many fans also celebrate. However, Asus is also in the race and has its Asus Rog Ally, for example, but this probably has some problems in terms [...]
