In recent days, shipping manifests have become an important source of leaks in the hardware sector, reports TechPowerUP. For example, prototypes of the AMD mobile processors “Strix Point” and “Fire Range” were recently discovered. Now further leaks have emerged that point to the upcoming desktop processors of the Ryzen 9000 [...]
I think it will become clear on the next page at the latest what the title alludes to here. But so that the search engine crawlers don’t get the wrong impression of the content of the article and the manufacturer’s designers aren’t offended, you’ll have to come up with the answer yourself. Of course, that doesn’t stop [...]
At the beginning of the year, we already tested a “Max” case from Cooler Master here, but at that time for compact systems with an ITX mainboard. Today, another case follows with the same partially-prepared approach, but for ATX. This is not really my form factor, but our case specialist Alexander needs some time off and my test of the [...]
Most people know that technology is never 100% secure. One well-known method of obtaining sensitive data is the Rowhammer method, which has been around since 2014. Researchers at ETH Zurich recently published a report on the threat posed by AMD’s Zen 2 & 3 CPUs. But first, what is Rowhammer? A rowhammer attack is a method in which the [...]
The rumor mill has been active for months, but I recently received a few slides that confirm much of this. The Lunar Lake processors are said to have up to 8 cores, combining a maximum of 4 powerful Lion Cove P cores with 4 efficiency-oriented Skymont E cores. This configuration once again confirms Intel’s continued focus on the balance [...]
With the new edition of the tower series in the old classic vertical case design, Thermaltake has come up with a beautifully designed octagonal prism shape and gives the case a new shine and various color variations. Starting at a fair €140 (depending on the color), it also offers plenty of space for hardware and rounds off the concept with a 3 [...]
Our colleagues at Tweaktown reported that AMD presented details of its upcoming next-generation Strix Point APUs at the AI PC Innovation Summit in Beijing.

Micron has unveiled 256GB MCRDIMM memory modules designed for next-generation servers at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference (GTC), reports TomsHardware. These modules offer a significantly higher capacity and performance boost and are ideal for applications such as AI and big data that need to process large amounts of data efficiently. The new [...]
The big question that many people are asking themselves: Is it still worth buying an ATX v3.0 power supply now? Recently, everyone has been asking me why they should still buy an ATX v3.0 power supply when the ATX v3.1 specification has long been on the market. However, this is also because very few people even understand that the main difference [...]
It’s clear to everyone that, for the most part, a laptop doesn’t come close to a desktop PC. This is particularly noticeable when you want to play games or use more powerful applications. Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]
Micron or SK hynix? Each claims to be the first, as SK hynix has announced that it has gone into series production of its own HBM3E memory and will soon be launching it on the market. This is the latest AI memory product with expected ultra-high performance, which will be delivered to customers later this month. The company announced the [...]
Towards the end of last year, we raffled off a very early Christmas present together with Caseking, which found its lucky winner after some delivery problems. He was kind enough to share his own impressions with us, which we will of course not withhold from you. So here’s the corresponding reader test today, enjoy! Jonsbo N2 NAS enclosure in [...]
As Alexandra Alper from Reuters announced, Intel is once again allowed to sell chips to the Chinese company Huawei and thus a complaint by AMD to the American authority fails at the same time. But what happened? Intel had a license from the Trump administration at the time that allowed the company to sell chips to Huawei. The Chinese company has [...]
Deepcool is launching the new Morpheus case onto the market with a completely new concept. Deepcool confidently advertises a fully modular PC case that can be adapted to any situation from the ground up. This case really scored points with me, as it allows you to install either a single-chamber system or a dual-chamber system in the case. Will the [...]
Our colleagues at Tomshardware have reported on a new world record, the latest Core i9-14900KS from Intel, which has quickly become one of the most sought-after CPUs for enthusiasts. With an impressive boost clock speed of 6.2 GHz – the highest of any consumer processor – and an overclocking potential that is second to none, the chip [...]
After we recently had several mini PCs with a similar housing, this appears to be a slightly newer and improved version with a very similar design. The following test report will tell you what else there is to discover. Pre-installed malware was recently found on systems from this manufacturer, read more here: Packaging and scope of delivery The [...]
According to Tomshardware, the developer “terminatorul” has released a UEFI driver that enables ReBAR (Resizable Base Address Register) on systems with Nvidia Turing graphics cards. Owners of GeForce GTX 16 and RTX 20 series GPUs can thus benefit from this function for the first time, which is normally only available for RTX 30 cards [...]
Just over a year after the release of the extremely popular NORTH case with the attractive front cover in wood decor, FRACTAL DESIGN is now sending a much-requested XL version, in which high-end systems and water circuits should not feel so cramped. Read our test to find out how the big brother performs in everyday use. When Fractal Design [...]
We have been testing various mini PCs and barebones for quite some time now, but a model from the manufacturer that practically invented and popularized this segment has been missing until now. We’re making up for that today and can say goodbye in the same breath, because there will be no more “original” Intel NUCs. At least they [...]
