If you want to (or have to) separate, then there are two ways to announce this: one emotionless and one where you once again seek the big stage. EVGA chose, what a coincidence, the time shortly before NVIDIA’s in-house exhibition GTC (after that, the whole thing would have gone down a bit) to drop the bombshell that wasn’t really a [...]
While the protagonists of the sensational leaks are currently fighting among themselves and wrestling for the ultimate interpretative sovereignty of NVIDIA and AMD products, I grabbed a bag of virtual popcorn and first read along with amusement. The silly thing about the whole Twitter controversy is that many things may even be true at the time of [...]
So far, AMD’s boxed cooler has always been mounted incorrectly. Now that assembly instructions for AM4 are finally included, many things have become much easier. With this I welcome you once again to the Sunday devotion before the altar of the 20 cruelties.
How does Intel actually want to sell the new Raptor Lake CPUs? Today’s sales foils, which I show you as a picture gallery, suggest that the blue foil king sees enough strong arguments to give the sales team the right ammunition. But will all this be enough to still have a progandistic advantage after the launch of the new Ryzen CPUs, or will [...]
It's Sunday again and we have the usual finds of a different kind. Let's just start with a clever innovation: the Ethernet blind plug. Exactly this part increases the secretary security immensely when connecting the USB cable.
For all those who deal intensively with RAM, the information about the installed memory components aka DRAM ICs of a module is of great importance, as is well known. Now that the second generation of DDR5 ICs will soon reach the market, a simple distinction according to the DRAM manufacturer – Micron, Samsung or Hynix – will no longer [...]
It is well known that the specifications for ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 are closely intertwined and many things have also found their way into each other’s standardization. Also the many articles I already wrote about the 12VHPWR connector, i.e. the 12+4 pin, already gave a lot of insights there. It can also be assumed that the new, powerful [...]
With our MoreClockTool (MCT) we want to logically round up the MorePowerTool (MPT) and the Red BIOS Editor (RBE) and replace the Wattman from AMD’s driver packages for simpler overclocking. Which also makes it clear that the MCT can only be used for newer AMD graphics cards. Even if our software seems rather manageable at first glance: all [...]
SLI is discontinued, Crossfire is dead – so it is naturally easy for Intel to jump into this empty niche and look for a way forward. You see, my friend Rob Squires from TweakTown learned something very interesting yesterday at SIGGRAPH 2022. According to him, Intel is currently finalizing its oneAPi software for multi-GPU support as well. A [...]
I will not presume to call the Alchemist project a failure, because time and the market alone will decide whether it succeeds or fails. It’s definitely not my place, and there’s no need to belittle the developers’ invested work based on just one tested product. However, more and more pieces of the puzzle are coming together to [...]
Intel’s new Xeons, i.e. the scalable server processors of the 4th generation, are delayed again. Once again, one might say, and the reasons are very diverse. The problems and errors are collected under NDA in internal documents (“so called NDA sights”) and currently amount to almost 500 (!) entries, with the trend continuing to [...]
Are they coming, or aren’t they? And if so, when? Various media had again written or spoken about a delay, but Intel is said to have now internally decided on a narrower time frame. If they’re going to stick to the current timeframe, the range that’s being colocated to me now is between Aug. 05, 2022 and Sept. 29, 2022. This [...]

For once, we’ll start the week with a news article as a description of the current state and a preview of what you can expect from tomorrow onwards, which has already robbed me of the whole weekend. The fact that there isn’t a full test article today is simply due to the amount of tests running in parallel and indirectly also due to [...]
Fitting for the graphics card season in the coming fall, the burning question already arises: How do you actually cool the hot shit? In the picture, we see an engineering sample where the cooler has just vaporized…
Today is Friday and thus for many also the last working day this week. Well, exceptions prove the rule, but since I’m working on a longer test, today I’ll just share a story from my three months older colleague Ronaldo Buassali, operator of TecLab and full-time Head of Latin America at Galaxy Microsystems Ltd (as well as passionate LN2 [...]
Intel’s Meteor Lake processors of the 14th generation are scheduled for launch in the second half of 2023, starting with the mobile product line. They will compete against AMD’s Ryzen 7000 family, namely Phoenix and Dragon Range in the notebook and Raphael in the desktop segment. Meteor Lake is already quite far, because there are [...]
Nothing against leaks, because they satisfy everyone’s curiosity to a certain extent, on the contrary. As you know, I know that quite well myself. Much of this more current information also came from kopite7kimi and it was also the case that they seemed to contradict each other in sometimes rapid chronological succession. Now, you can of [...]
If you like salty, ecologically valuable dairy drink, you can and must simply second the salty Mozzi water. Capri Sun is now reporting over a 50% drop in sales, mainly because the Mozzi is still available with real plastic tubes instead of toilet paper straws.
I built the first board for performance measurements long before Nvidia’s PCAT was released. Nvidia had also purchased a Powenetics system to study about a year before PCAT was released. And they kind of lost track of me there, so I guess things didn’t go as expected for them or they thought maybe they could do it differently or better [...]
