The AMD Ryzen 8040 “Hawk Point” SKUs will be launched as an update to the current Ryzen 7040 “Phoenix” family. The Phoenix APUs are still very popular and AMD plans to update them first before launching the larger upgrades in the form of the Strix Ryzen 8050 series in mid-2024. The Hawk Point APUs will continue to utilize [...]
When everything is too much for you, you just enjoy the suffering of others. Or you try not to make an elephant out of every molehill.
In the latest notes from the LLVM project, the two AMD RDNA 4 “Navi 4X” GPUs were mentioned. A developer has pointed out that target names and ELF numbers need to be defined for new GFX12 targets, which include the GFX1200 and GFX1201. It is mentioned that both GPUs behave identically to the GFX11 of the “RDNA 3” family for [...]
AMD today announced that it will deliver on its promise to bring support for ROCm and other machine learning and development features to its customer-facing products within the RDNA 3 GPU family. Last month, the company introduced support for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon PRO W7900 GPUs, and is now expanding the offering to include the Radeon [...]
The future of chip development seems to lie in the hands of generative AI. NVIDIA has now introduced a new LLM called “ChipNeMo”, which is intended to help engineers design semiconductors and offers a range of new benefits. Thanks to the immense capabilities of generative AI, chip development can now progress much faster. Identifying [...]
New information from Kopite7kimi suggests that NVIDIA is preparing its Blackwell GPUs, which will later be used in the GeForce RTX 50 gaming series. The next generation of GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell” GPUs from NVIDIA is expected to use the latest 3nm manufacturing process from TSMC and adopt the DisplayPort 2.1 standard. TSMC’s [...]
Once again, we’re experiencing a Groundhog Day feeling with graphics cards and their power supply. One might think, “Here we go again,” but this time everything is much more relaxed. Yes, once again there’s the smell of spectacularly fried plastic in the air, as KrisFix has once again supplied me with olfactory delights. If [...]
Chinese companies, such as Tencent, have announced that they have stockpiled large quantities of NVIDIA graphics processors (GPUs) in order to be prepared for several generations. However, they are also planning to increasingly switch to domestic solutions in the future. According to Reuters, Tencent has said that it has recognized the potential [...]
According to a report from the Chinese Board Channel Forum, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti GPUs are currently being discontinued and will no longer be produced. This is because the release of the “SUPER” series is imminent and the focus is on this new product line. Forum users who have close relationships with board [...]
NVIDIA’s next-generation gaming GPU, the GeForce RTX 50 “Blackwell”, is expected to offer support for GDDR7 memory, claims leaker Kopite7kimi. His latest revelations thus indicate that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 flagship gaming GPU will offer GDDR7 memory support. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series is expected to utilize the [...]
Prototypes of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti have once again surfaced and they clearly trump the Titan RTX graphics card that is next to it. The rejection of the 4090 Ti prototypes may have been due to their massive GPU cooling and uniquely engineered design. The prototype of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Ti has already been seen several times. Or [...]
The AMD Radeon™ PRO W7700 graphics card is a professional graphics accelerator that aims to set a standard with a price of around 950 EURO. According to AMD, it offers an impressive double-digit performance increase in key professional applications compared to the competition and a perfect combination of reliability, stability and exceptional [...]
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 400 SUPER GPU family is expected to be unveiled at CES 2024 in January, most reporters agree. During this event, the company will present the cards and it is also said that the launch date for the product line is already planned for January 2024 as well (although it could still be postponed due to NVIDIA’s internal [...]
According to the latest findings from TrendForce, the global SSD market returned to normal in 2022 due to a solution to the shortage of master control ICs that had impacted the market in 2021. Despite the normalization of supply, global SSD shipments saw a decline, with only 114 million units shipped in 2022 – a 10.7% decrease from the [...]
The CMP 50HX GPU from NVIDIA, which was originally developed for crypto mining, has now been converted into a gaming card. However, its performance is not particularly impressive. Due to limited PCIe lanes and a lack of driver support, NVIDIA’s CMP “crypto” GPUs are woefully unsuitable for gaming. The CMP range was introduced in [...]
I admit it, this is more of a relaxation interlude today, because I’m still really exhausted from the analysis article, the most authentic translation possible and the two videos from the weekend. And no, we’re not getting any younger, just wiser. I hope so. And so I thought I’d simply give ChatGPT, the chief engineer, the task [...]
ASRock has quietly released a new BIOS firmware update with AMD AGESA 1.1.0.0 for its X670E motherboards. This suggests that formal availability is likely to follow soon. The ASRock Taichi X670E motherboards will be the first to receive support for the new firmware. The AMD AGESA 1.1.0.0 UEFI firmware is an extension of the existing AGESA 1.0.7.0 [...]
A research study from China has revealed that its in-house AI processing chip “ACCEL” is said to offer performance that is 3000 times faster than NVIDIA’s A100 & A800 GPUs. In the face of global sanctions, China is working to improve its own solutions to maintain the current pace of industrial growth. Tsinghua University in [...]
The first tests on the performance of the AMD Radeon RX 7900M “Navi 31” GPU are now available and it beats the GeForce RTX 4080 laptop GPU, at least in 3DMark Time Spy. However, the AMD Radeon RX 7900M, the flagship of the RDNA 3 laptop GPUs, is only slightly faster than the RTX 4080 in the first 3DMark tests. The AMD Radeon RX 7900M [...]
I have prepared a very elaborate article for next Monday (06.11.2023) that reflects in detail on my work over the last 6 months on this seemingly never-ending topic. And I can already spoil the fact that the pieces of the puzzle that are still missing from my point of view and have probably finally been found now provide a much more complete [...]
