It’s done, even if it took a long time: the RBE now also supports older AMD graphics cards with Polaris chip. My personal thanks go to the community in general and to mynm in particular, because this time he did all the work and built everything into the RBE, while hellm did the background [...]
Well, with this description I dare to take a deep grip into the speculation collection, but let’s look at the whole thing in a sporty and exemplary way, because somehow you have to call this thing (for now). We’re talking about AMD’s new 16-core (32 threads), which is [...]
There have been (once again) new rumors about AMD’s RDNA 2 “Navi 2X” GPUs that will be found in the next generation graphics cards of the Radeon RX series. The rumor again points to a late start in the 4th quarter. It will be available in the second quarter of 2020 and will also [...]
In this context, it is interesting to note that a member of XMG Schenker’s staff sent a letter to Reddit, which openly addresses precisely this problem. Thus, on 31. July the ODM made the announcement that AMD was facing a serious CPU shortage in Q3 2020. Major orders whose delivery has been [...]
Basically, if all the information is correct, Nvidia hasn’t chosen a bad approach with the solution of a reference board that is as short as possible, which elegantly allows an air cooler to allow the fans to blow freely over a larger area without the air just landing on the board and then [...]
Sometimes it is good to wait at least a day or two to check the validity of some reports. For example, DigiTimes reported the day before yesterday that Intel had booked 180,000 wafers in the 6 nm process at TSMC and would use them for their flagship HPC GPU Ponte Vecchio. The order and the quantity [...]
Already in June Intel brought its 3. Gen Xeon Scalable CPU family, also known as the “Cooper Lake”, but still based on the 14nm architecture. Now some people in mainland China (where else?) have gotten their hands on the first QA (Qualified Sample) of Cooper Lake chips, which have an [...]
I had already mentioned in my article “Why manufacturers are struggling with AMD notebooks, why AMD likes to trip itself up and why the blue conspiracy is not a conspiracy at all | Search for answers“, why notebook manufacturers are still so reluctant to buy AMD CPUs and APUs for mobile [...]
One finds the Realtek ALC1200 very often on beginner and mid-range motherboards, and if you google once or interpret the swarm intelligence of the relevant forums, there is also a frightening amount of half and ignorance in circulation. Some write from a highly labeled ALC887, others from a [...]
Since I have switched most systems in the lab and private sector to M.2 NVMe SSDs and also operate everything in a nice mixed way across the PCIe versions, one can, however, notice differences in parallel systems with identical software and the same workloads, even if some things are much less [...]
The hype around the EarFun Air was already quite big, probably also because of cleverly launched reviews and press releases. A pair of buds for the narrow thaler with a rich sound and other good qualities? the reality: sold out and waiting for supplies. That makes you curious and a bit sceptical at [...]
I didn’t choose the title entirely by chance, because I actually wanted a treat for both: working in a video studio with precise sound and the appropriate sound system after work as a reward and relaxation for stressful hours. This may sound simple at first, but it is not. Analytical [...]
Death Stranding is in some ways an opinion leader. Either you like it or you hate it. At least you can't accuse this game of being "uniform mash", because it does many things differently than you would expect. Whether it is a successful console port nevertheless or just because of [...]
This article aims to give you a rough overview about the current state of Undervolting, including detailed instructions, potential risks, benefits and some political background. Undervolting is the deliberate reduction of electrical voltage on the CPU and GPU. If applied correctly, it has the [...]
In addition to EK Waterblocks, there is another well-known company in Sweden that can count AiO water cooling systems among its portfolio: Fractal Design. And since 2020 seems to be the year of the AiO new editions in addition to the year of the catastrophes, a revised version of the in-house [...]
The market for all-in-one water cooling solutions for graphics cards is still abundantly manageable compared to CPU coolers, although the potential gain over air cooling is significantly higher. Higher boost steps and lower operating noise are only part of the reward, because all other components [...]
You read it again and again and everywhere, but it’s still interesting to see how more and more top managers at AMD are commenting on the introduction of the next generation. The latest statement comes from AMD’s Executive Vice President of Computing and Graphics, Rick Bergman, who said [...]
For some time now, a separate encoding chip, which Nvidia NvEnc has christened Nvidia NvEnc, has been used in many NVIDIA graphics cards. This is a real hardware solution that can convert videos quite efficiently. Currently the common codecs H.264 and H.265 as well as resolutions up to 8K are [...]
