Samsung plans to showcase its next-generation GDDR7 memory at the IEEE International Solid-State Circuit Conference 2024 in San Francisco next month. The company will hold a session titled “A 16Gb 37 Gb/s GDDR7 DRAM with PAM3 Optimized TRX Equalization and ZQ Calibration” to showcase its advanced memory solutions for the next [...]
I briefly considered whether the word “mini” could perhaps be included a few more times in the title, but I didn’t want to spoil the search engine optimization even more. Minimally at most. Today we are testing a completely new brand and an interesting system whose unique selling point may yet turn out to be a gimmick. More on [...]
Please don’t panic again, but the new adapter is so fragile that quality management and controls can’t be tough enough to ensure safe operation. And since there will be no media launch of the GeForce RTX 4080 Super tomorrow and no results can be published until the day after tomorrow, I’m going to focus today on a product that is [...]
According to DigiTimes, which cites information from supply chain sources, the Korean electronics giant could potentially achieve something “enormous” this year. Not only is this a significant development for Samsung, as the company could potentially make strides in the PC market, but the move to on-package memory is a feature that was [...]
The open-source RADV Vulkan driver has been developed to take a strong competitive position in terms of hardware support, continuous optimization and bug fixes. Recently, extensive optimizations have been made to the RADV Vulkan driver, resulting in a significant increase in ray tracing performance of up to 200%. These improvements make the RADV [...]
Today I was supposed to launch an OC card at 3 pm, but unfortunately FedEx prevented that (once again). The card only arrived after traveling the world for over a week. This is exactly why we now have Plan G like Gainward and thus the RTX 4070 Ti Super Panther OC 16 GB MSRP as a replacement. Whereby the replacement is actually almost unfair [...]
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger announced during the Q4 2024 earnings call that the Core Ultra platform will be expanded later this year to include new families such as Lunar Lake & Arrow Lake. This will potentially increase AI performance by 3x. In 2025, the Core Ultra series will see a further 2x performance boost with the introduction of Panther [...]
WITH the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z, MSI has once again made a real catch. This is because there is a significant increase compared to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio, which has already been tested. Our detailed test...
Normally laptops are not my area here at IgorsLab, but the leap from a mini PC is not far. Acemagic probably thought so too, because instead of sending one of the small systems for a test as usual, they sent a notebook. You can find out in the following test report whether the jump ends successfully or is more likely to be a crash. Packaging and [...]
AMD Fluid Motion Frames technology was presented for the first time in September. This technology uses frame generation to increase FPS in games with just one click. Unlike FSR 3, which requires collaboration with game developers, AFMF technology can easily integrate image generation technology by injecting it through the driver side. Although FSR [...]
A test is always particularly exciting when you come across unexpected problems for which the test subject is not actually responsible. This was also the case here. A RAM test, even if it’s a rather high-priced kit, now runs according to the same pattern for me and isn’t witchcraft. But this time I found myself trapped in an almost [...]
MSI hat nach weiteren Untersuchungen nicht nur ein BIOS für die betroffene RTX 4070 Ti Super Ventus 3X zur Verfügung gestellt, sondern in einem Aufwasch für alle bisher durch MSI gelaunchten Karten mit diesem Chip. Egal, ob man direkt betroffen ist oder nicht – MSI empfiehlt vorsichtshalber das BIOS-Update für alle nachfolgend aufgeführten [...]
Intel has been a major contributor to the Linux space, be it in relation to the company’s ‘Arc’ graphics range or their mainstream consumer CPUs. Although server processors initially lagged somewhat behind, Intel has caught up by announcing early support for their Clearwater Forest processors, which are expected to launch in 2025 [...]
Today sees the second round of the green Super League and NVIDIA officially launches the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super in the form of the so-called MSRP cards with the help of its board partners (AIC). However, with a starting price of 889 euros (799 USD) as the MSRP, it is miles above the street price of the RTX 4070 Ti Non-Super, which starts at [...]
Intel is working on its next major upgrade for laptops, which is aimed at energy-saving platforms and will be released in the form of Lunar Lake CPUs. The first models are expected to be available on the market by the end of 2024. In addition, Intel plans to launch its Arrow Lake product line, which will serve a variety of platforms, including [...]
Even if it has now taken a little longer and some impatient contemporaries have repeatedly demanded a prompt publication: It was by no means a case of us sitting it out, but rather a lot of precise work to work through almost a year of fan tests and conduct a fair investigation into the causes of the totally botched fan test of the Alphacool 120 [...]
YuuKi_AnS has released the latest internal documents on the upcoming Arrow Lake-S desktop CPU platform, resulting in a new platform leak. Although a lot of information about the Intel Arrow Lake CPUs is already known, we now get a more detailed insight into the upcoming features of the platform. The upcoming Intel Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs will be [...]
The world of mechanical keyboards not only offers a wide variety of switches, but it also has a vibrant community of enthusiasts who are constantly looking for ways to optimize their keyboards. Today we present four mods that not only improve the typing experience, but can also positively influence the acoustic properties of the keyboard. 1 [...]
Our colleagues at WCCFTECH have also had their thoughts on AI. After all, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in almost every major technology sector seems to be progressing inexorably worldwide. Recently, the term “AI PC” has also taken on a new meaning in terms of its use by technology giants. Based on previous [...]
It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen an air cooler from this manufacturer, and the last attempt was crowned with moderate success. Now they are trying again and want to reach the top. The following test report will tell you whether this will work. Packaging and scope of delivery Of course, we’ll also take a quick look at the [...]
