Before we bring another launch article today around 8 am (so please check back), I’ll quickly close the gap of my Computex coverage. I had already put some videos online, but unfortunately the very first video from the MSI booth is missing, as the infrastructure had set me a nasty trap. Since I had scheduled everything floor and row by row [...]

Today I would like to give you some more information about what has been delayed for a while, the reasons are well known. At NVIDIA’s headquarters in Taipei, I had the opportunity to check out a few delicacies outside the current mainstream. It’s always interesting to see something like that, so I’m willing to take a longer cab [...]
During the last “Meet The Expert Webcast”, AMD published an updated AMD AM5 desktop socket roadmap. This interesting news was discovered by renowned hardware leak detective @harukaz5719 and already caused quite a stir in the technology community. The company officially confirmed its long-term 4-year plan to keep the AM5 socket until at [...]
Catch me if you can? Congratulations to Computex 2023! Based on the unfortunately positive feedback from many colleagues, it almost seems as if the global tech event has not only presented the latest innovations in the industry, but also established itself as a superior competitor in the field of “superspreader events”. A heartfelt [...]
Innodisk has proposed an innovative solution to implement PCIe Gen 5 NVMe SSDs. Instead of keeping the M.2 form factor, they propose to design them as PCIe add-in cards. This would eliminate the need for oversized cooling with noisy 20mm fans, and SSD designers could instead use cooling solutions similar to those used on graphics cards. Gen 5 NVMe [...]
AMD’s latest processor revision guide for the EPYC 7002 “Rome” server chips reveals an interesting errata that could lead to a potential core freeze. After about 1,044 days (~2.93 years) of operation, a core could get stuck on the chip, requiring a server reboot to get the chip working properly again. AMD has stated that they [...]
NVIDIA’s RTX 3070 GPU has been introduced in several variants, but the official memory configuration is limited to 8 GB GDDR6. Interestingly, it is possible to modify the card to support double the amount of memory expansion relatively easily. However, this requires custom modifications, as we have seen several times before. Recently, it was [...]
Computex 2023 is definitely an event not to be missed, so let’s take a look at some moments from this legendary tech show. First of all, yes, there was the return of physical presence, with some of the exhibitors seemingly forgetting how to do such a thing in the first place. You’d have thought they were organizing a home-office zoom [...]
After four years of forced isolation, Computex is bursting at the seams this time. We haven’t seen each other for so long, and everyone wants to talk about the past years as extensively as possible. This can be quite exhausting, because I had 15 appointments yesterday, which I could work off all on time despite various incidents. Sometimes [...]
At Computex 2023 in Taipei, Taiwan, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, announced that the company’s Grace hopper superchips are now in full production. The Grace platform has already successfully won six supercomputer competitions. As part of this exciting development, Huang unveiled the new DGX GH200 AI supercomputing platform at Computex 2023 [...]
The latest version 2.06 of the CPU-Z monitor and information software has recently been updated to support the latest hardware products from Intel, AMD and NVIDIA. In the case of Intel, this includes support for several new Alder Lake-N SKUs as well as the Xeon Sapphire Rapids series for data center CPUs. The software also adds support for the [...]
So, I’m already sweating a few days ahead, but still want to quickly report again in person before it really starts here. Because even during my absence, reading material is provided and I’ll see how I can contribute a few more videos. So after 4 years of Corona forced break from Computex, it’s back again! My schedule is packed [...]
As is already known, AMD’s reference design (MBA – Made by AMD) has some problems regarding the connection of the power supply cables. It turned out that due to the design of the cooler cover, certain 6+2-pin cables cannot be fully inserted into the board. This problem only affects certain cables that have a small protrusion designed [...]
A mobile chip from Intel has once again been discovered that is part of the Meteor Lake series and has the suffix “Ultra” in its name. This confirms earlier leaks and rumors that Intel is deviating from its traditional Core naming format. The processor, originally known as the Core i7, has been replaced with the Intel Core Ultra 7 [...]
Windows 11 will soon introduce an integrated RGB lighting control called “Dynamic Lighting,” designed specifically for gaming PCs. Microsoft aims to provide a one-stop shop for all RGB needs, eliminating the need to install different software for each component. Microsoft aims to simplify the management of RGB in PCs with the new [...]
As autonomous driving becomes more prevalent, edge sensors such as LiDAR, radar and 3D surround view camera systems are becoming more common in the automotive market. This is leading to an increasing need for fast signal processing, low-cost devices and more compact form factors as more sensors are required for autonomous driving. In addition [...]
Of course, you can argue about the sense or nonsense of the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti as such, but the board manufacturers just have to go through with it now. MSI’s GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Gaming X Trio is a cooling hulk with a cooler that apparently weighs more than all memory modules of this series in one pile. So it’s not up to MSI, and [...]
The Palit GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Dual OC 8GB is the exact opposite of the heavyweight competitor from MSI. Palit has trimmed all superfluous pounds and offers full OC capabilities already at the MSRP. Whether and how one can live with that will have to be seen in a later individual test. The card is not faster or slower than the Founders Edition [...]
If there’s one thing every true tech enthusiast loves, it’s the joy that comes with the launch of a new graphics card. But wait, why should we be content with just a single card when we can have a whole cascade of overlapping releases? I mean, what’s better than constantly finding ourselves in a state of technological overload [...]
At ITF World, a conference held by leading chip research company imec in Antwerp, Belgium, 3D-printed processor coolers in particular stood out. These prototype water blocks have the potential to improve the cooling capacity of high-density processors such as CPUs and GPUs by 3.5 times compared to the best CPU coolers available today. This allows [...]
