Today’s unveiling of the Alphacool Apex Stealth Metal Fan (Pro) completes the circle of long development, various pre-announcements and influencer pirouettes, as the part has finally arrived in mass production and is also now available for pre-order. Of course, we live in a time where even a trivial new screw cries out for attention by [...]
Intel’s upcoming Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs are said to be particularly efficient with power limits of 125W for the PL1, 177W for the PL2 and 333W for the short-term PL4 as the absolute upper limit for unlocked SKUs. This is evident from a leaked diagram that shows a special Arrow Lake-S desktop CPU with 8 P-cores based on Lion Cove and 16 E [...]
If you order an Intel Core i9-13900K from Wish and Temu even delivers on Saturday, then your weekend is saved. Stinginess is horny, Temu is even hornier.
In the rapidly evolving field of graphics cards, AMD could take a big step forward by introducing a new Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card with a more generous 16 GB of memory. This capacity would be double that of the current RX 7600 model. But the memory size alone is such a story in itself, because the memory interface does not grow with it. The [...]
The NAS article actually planned for today has to wait until next week, the delivery delays for certain components has unfortunately (once again) put a spoke in my wheel. But at least a nice workaround fell in front of my feet, with which you can also beat Amazon a bargain with your own stock. Sure, the whole thing is no big deal, but with a [...]
Is there anything left to do? Intel continues its commitment to improving the gaming experience on its Arc GPUs rather unwaveringly with the release of the latest Game-On drivers. This latest update not only adds support for hotly anticipated titles like Forza Motorsport and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, but also brings significant other [...]
ASUS has begun rolling out the brand new AMD AGESA 1.0.8.0 BIOS for AM5 motherboards, which includes support for the upcoming Ryzen “Phoenix” APUs. Potential AMD Phoenix desktop launch as ASUS releases AGESA 1.0.8.0 BIOS with Ryzen 7000 “Phoenix” APU support Months went by without any updates on the desktop APU side, but it [...]
Call of Duty is celebrating its 20th anniversary and Activision’s president is very positive about the future under Microsoft. After all, the Call of Duty franchise is already celebrating its twentieth anniversary this month. The first part was released on October 29, 2003. GamesBeat colleagues recently had the opportunity to interview [...]
The Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM has been around for what feels like an eternity, and of course such a product may be technically improved over time, or the tooling is changed on a regular basis, or at least various details are changed. There was already media attention in 2016 about the (ultimately non-existent) differences between the Chinese and [...]
Support for Intel’s next generation Arrow Lake NPU has already been integrated into Linux. This is an important milestone for AI integration in CPUs, as it also allows Linux users to take advantage of the AI capabilities of the new CPUs without additional hardware. Arrow Lake’s NPU is a dedicated AI engine optimized for tasks such as [...]
I had actually hoped for a “Redemption Arc” today, but unfortunately it won’t really be anything. It’s been a good 1.5 years and back then the brand was still known as SPCGear, so they had enough time to do their homework. But first things first, let’s take a closer look at the keyboard in the following review [...]
It’s off again and the days are getting shorter and colder. The bathing caps disappear in the closet and the key caps gain in importance again. But before we surrender to the coming digital blanket, I have a few more reasons to try real, native fresh air instead of lukewarm to hot PC exhaust. Otherwise, the new gaming notebook will soon look [...]
Intel has clarified that Meteor Lake P-Cores and E-Cores are architecturally very similar to Raptor Lake. The Redwood Cove P-Cores and Crestmont E-Cores are very similar to the Raptor Cove P-Cores and Gracemont E-Cores. The biggest change is the move to the Intel 4 process node. Intel 4 is a 4nm process that offers higher efficiency and [...]
The NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2024 will take place on March 18, kicking off with CEO Jensen Huang’s opening keynote address. The event promises to unveil groundbreaking developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC), particularly in relation to Blackwell AI/HPC graphics processing units (GPUs) [...]
The MXL AC-404 USB microphone tested by me today is a high-quality condenser boundary microphone, which is equipped with three capsules and offers a recording range of 180 °. I bought the good piece for 77 euros in a well-stocked specialty store, because with certain things I trust, for example, Thomann and the reviews left there by professionals [...]
Nvidia’s RTX 5000 Ada, a professional graphics card for visualization applications, is now available. The card is equipped with Nvidia’s flagship GPU AD102, but in a much reduced configuration to lower the power consumption to 250 W. However, retailers are selling the card at inflated prices, if you can get it at all. These inflated [...]
AMD has published new details about the next Ryzen 8000 and 9000 processor generations. The Ryzen 8000 processors will be based on the new Zen 5 architecture and will be launched in the first half of 2024. They will feature up to 32 cores and 15% IPC increase over the Ryzen 7000 processors. The Ryzen 9000 processors will then be launched in the [...]
What hasn't been the noise in the leaf and video forest in recent weeks. There was even talk of a VRM disaster or a TIM gate (heat paste instead of lot), but if you look at everything carefully and carefully, the G... Thermal p aste instead of solder One of the reasons for the whole cooling problem is Intel's use of inappropriate (but arguably [...]
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 [...]
AMD has released its long-awaited Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) technology in the Adrenaline Preview driver. AFMF is an upscaling technology that allows gamers to double or even triple their frame rates without sacrificing quality. The technology works by combining two frames from gameplay and then upscaling them using a proprietary algorithm. AFMF [...]
