Today, I’m doing a self-experiment: Browsing and shopping at Temu, of course with a set budget and a detailed review of all products in mind, if they all arrive. You guys triggered me recently, and so the time finally came. Ordered on 10/15/2023 and delivered on 10/24/2023, so a delivery time of 9 days. That’s acceptable for now, even [...]
Today’s article refers to the two articles already published and linked again in the footer about the unsuccessful purchase of an item declared to be in stock and the subsequent hurdles for the customer, which should actually not be any, because here the process is very clearly regulated by law. But since most customers do not know the [...]
With the growing global demand for gaming, Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are both actively seeking to establish themselves in the market for “Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR)” products. These products represent a specialized type of high-performance DRAM designed specifically to meet the needs of graphics processing. A recent report [...]
Actually, everything looked so good when I recently started the big roundup of workstation graphics cards and also published the first part with all four new Radeon Pro graphics cards.

Several memory OC records have already been set with DDR5-9000 [...]
Fan search and overview (ranking) Direct 1:1 comparison of two fans Test methods and equipment Our fan measurement chamber and claim Since there is currently no source that offers realistic and usable data even in direct comparison, we invested a lot of time and money and simply developed our own fan measurement station with the advice of a large [...]
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 [...]
Innodisk has proposed an innovative solution to implement PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs. Instead of keeping the M.2 form factor, they propose to design them as PCIe add-in cards. This would eliminate the need for oversized cooling with noisy 20mm fans, and SSD designers could instead use cooling solutions similar to those used on graphics cards. Gen 5 NVMe [...]
It’s that time again: Latency Time for eSports enthusiasts and of course those who want to become one. Besides high FPS and low – constant – frame times, latency can make the difference between victory and defeat. Everyone has to reflect on their own skill in the respective game – self-critically – because [...]
It seems that there was a brief mention on a LinkedIn profile that Zen 6 server processors might already be available. However, the existence of the entry was very short-lived, but screenshots prove that this could even be a possible leak. It is important to be extremely cautious in such cases and not jump to conclusions, as unconfirmed [...]
