Almost 12 years ago, EuP and ErP were on everyone’s doorstep, also in terms of power consumption in stand-by mode. That is why, as “Hilmar Brenninger”, I had more or less investigatively thrown myself into the turmoil and checked whether the current directives had actually arrived in the trade. And by the way: the Motherborads [...]
During the announcement of its financial results for the third quarter of 2023, Micron shared information about the latest developments in various DRAM and memory products, including the future GDDR7 memory for graphics applications. The company said that it is working hard on the next generation of GDDR7 memory and that it is expected to be [...]
With Cooler Master, we have another player in the monitor market. And with the GP27U, Cooler Master is damn serious and goes “all in”. The UHD panel with 3840 x 2160p resolution comes with a refresh rate of 160 Hz. The panel itself comes from AU-Optronics – Fast IPS and Quantum Dot enhanced with 576 dimming zones and a mini-LED [...]
Yesterday we had the review of the MSRP cards, and today we mere mortals finally get to test the somewhat better cards. The fact that there was still a lot of room for improvement, without the test object having to drink itself to a cripple, shows once again that the “entry-level” models, which are sewn to the edge, should once again [...]
Coffee fund was yesterday, today we have the pun fund. And to be honest, I’m exhausted. Not destroyed, but mentally and physically drained. When you compare the effort of the past seven days to what has been achieved and, above all, who has been reached and how, you just want to turn over and go back to sleep. Whether the card tested [...]
According to a recently released roadmap, announced during the ML Commons training results presentation and published by HardwareLuxx, NVIDIA has revealed the expected launch schedule for its next-generation GPUs and CPUs. The roadmap shows that NVIDIA has already confirmed that the Hopper Next GPUs, also known as Blackwell, will launch in 2024 [...]
We are familiar with assisted living, which definitely has a deeper meaning. Assisted benchmarking, on the other hand, makes less sense. And I admit it, I was thoroughly pissed off after a few hand-picked noble influencers held hands with NVIDIA (and certainly against their better judgment) and delivered the ordered praise for a product that [...]
Today, MLCommons released the results of the renowned AI performance benchmark MLPerf Training 3.0. This benchmark used both the Habana Gaudi2 deep learning accelerator and the fourth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor. The latest MLPerf results, published by MLCommons, confirm the cost advantage that Intel Xeon processors and Intel Gaudi [...]
With the Dark Base Pro 901, BeQuiet! replaces the previous flagship Dark Base Pro 900. In order to not completely change the successful and very flexible DNA of the Dark Base series, mainly changes in detail were made besides the more modern look. Read our review to find out whether the noble case is convincing. Clever detail solutions have always [...]
If it comes at all, because the latest from the rumor mill on Twitter is that Intel probably has problems with the processor and might even have abandoned it already. It remains questionable whether Intel will succeed in taking the lead in future Arrow Lake CPUs with a 40-core flagship. There were previously rumors about a 40-core chip that [...]
If an artist creates limited editions, which are supposed to keep the price exclusively high, then it is actually common that after reaching the edition target, for example, the copper plates are made unusable. If not, then reprints must be marked as edition XXX and they then cost significantly less. This is also the case with other products such [...]
If you own one of the newer ASUS router models, ASUS strongly recommends updating the firmware to the latest version. A number of critical vulnerabilities have been identified, including the two most serious ones labeled CVE-2022-26376 and CVE-2018-1160. These vulnerabilities are rated 9.8 on a scale of 1 to 10. However, if you are using third [...]
The detailed test today is almost a little nostalgic for me, because many years ago the hobby of 3D printing began for me with a Creality Ender-3, the first model without any other additions behind the name. And I wasn’t alone in that; to this day, this model is probably one of the best-selling 3D printers in the world. Creality would [...]
AMD’s Zen 4 processors are powerful and can easily compete with the leading CPUs on the market. Nevertheless, AMD has not given up on Zen 3 development. According to VideoCardz, Gigabyte has listed a previously unannounced Zen 3 chip from the Ryzen 5000G (Cezanne) era. The Ryzen 7 5700 is an octa-core processor with 16 threads, a [...]
Over 13 years ago, I was concerned with the elimination of 2D hardware acceleration in Windows Vista and XP and made no friends for life with the driver team at (then) ATI in Toronto. The good thing about the two articles that hit like a bomb back then is that both AMD and NVIDIA started reacting frantically back then and also took remedial action [...]
More than 13 years ago, I published two articles that dealt with the problem of the lack of 2D performance of ATI graphics cards in particular at that time and also shed more light on the background. Because the upheaval at that time was enormous: graphics cards with the Unified Shaders instead of special 2D hardware features, operating systems [...]
On Thursday, Argonne National Laboratory and Intel announced the successful completion of the installation of 10,624 blades for the Aurora supercomputer. This system is expected to be operational later in 2023. The Aurora supercomputer, developed by HPE, consists of 166 racks, each containing 64 blades, for a total of 10,624 blades. Each of these [...]
Raijintek’s products have always been able to shine with a very good price-performance ratio in recent years. No matter if it was cases, cooling solutions or fans, the testers always agreed that you get a lot of product for your money. Whether this is also the case with the Paean C7, you can read in the review. You can tell at first glance [...]
I had already tested the MSI SPATIUM M480 with 2TB capacity, just like the one with the “Play” in the name. Now MSI has relaunched this SSD – with a trendy “Pro” abbreviation in the name, but without a cooler and a 5-year warranty. The SPATIUM M480 and M480 Play are also a real head-turner, because the Phison PS5018 [...]
While the whole world admires Nvidia for its market capitalization of over $1 trillion at the beginning of the year and praises the company for its prominent positioning in the megatrends of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC), there is another company that both benefits significantly from these megatrends and has [...]
