AMD had recently released the first open source Linux graphics driver code for a new GPU called Beige Goby. Listed in it, Beige Goby is the latest Linux-specific codename used for new hardware enablements in their graphics drivers. We remember: After the Dimgrey Cavefish, the Sienna Cichlid, the Navy Flounder and others, the Beige Goby is now the [...]
AMD systems are also at risk from Rowhammer attacks
News from Intel’s mobile Lunar Lake CPU – rumors confirmed (picture and schematic)
Now it’s getting serious! Google, Qualcomm and Intel join forces against NVIDIA
Sapphire releases the new snow-white Radeon RX 7900GRE PURE (and it’s already in the lab)

Of course, when AMD launches the RX 6600XT and RX 6600 soon, we’ll already know most of it. With Navi23 AMD relies, as already with the RX 5500XT and Navi13, on a chip that can be used both as an external graphics card and in the notebook as a dedicated chip. This has advantages and disadvantages, as we will see in a moment. However, in [...]
Intel had already announced the Xe (a.k.a. Gen12) graphics architecture in 2020, and step by step it was also concretized. The portfolio here ranges from integrated ultrabook chips and dedicated cards to genuine workstation and server cards. The one I want to show you today is factually currently at the top end of Intel’s graphics food chain [...]
There is some movement in the leaker scene again and so it is not surprising that also various information about AMD’s next GPU leaks out. So now we could also enjoy new details about AMD’s next APU lineup, the Ryzen 6000 “Rembrandt”, published by ExecutableFix, a reputable leaker. In fact, according to his latest tweet, it [...]
It’s been a while since AMD set itself a spring 2021 timeframe target for its DLSS competitor, FidelityFX Super Resolution. Now TechTuber Coreteks speculates that you could probably be just a month away from launch. This is to be seen first with the usual caution, but it was to be noticed in return also that in this connection also from the [...]
You probably remember Intel’s DG1 and the somewhat unsuccessful attempts to get the dedicated DG1 to work at all on the original evaluation system. To those who accused us of negligence and outdated drivers at the time, let me wink and confirm: even with the latest sofware snippets, nothing still moves. Because whether this system was ever [...]

Starting this week, NVIDIA is already shipping the first samples of the new SKUs to the respective board partners (AIC). The GeForce RTX 3060, whose launch was so difficult at the time due to a kind of driver accident, makes the start. This is now to change step by step and SKU by SKU. But how can the buyer tell if it’s an uncropped older [...]
Nothing against the protection against cheaters, that this is necessary and right, you do not have to discuss. It’s just that in places the arrogance and disregard for legitimate objections and requests is almost unbearable. Games worth over 100 euros are worthless within a fraction of a second, just because someone has hung colorful fans [...]
Entering and establishing yourself as a new player in an existing industry is no easy feat, even more so in the hardware industry and even more so in today’s times of chronic silicon shortage. But Acer is taking this bold step with the Predator brand and now includes memory and storage products in their extensive portfolio. In the review [...]
The whole cryptocurrency bubble keeps inflating and the value of many of these “currencies” has skyrocketed extremely, even if there is always a dip in between. This month alone, NVIDIA has sold $30 million worth of CMP-series cards to Hut 8 Mining Corp. for example. By then, the seizure of 300 stolen NVIDIA CMP 30HX cryptocurrency [...]
With the rise of gaming in Europe, games are not only keeping gamers busy in the comfort of their own homes, but developers are also busy creating these worlds from the comfort of their own homes. However, productivity is at stake when the pandemic forces developers and engineers to work remotely rather than centrally and collaboratively within [...]
No, today is not about real hardware that you can’t buy anyway! Today it’s about software for all AMD graphics card owners or those who want to become one, if they could, if there is something to buy again. The team around AMD’s Radeon driver development has always managed to get more performance out of AMD graphics cards over [...]
After the first versions with the new Navi21 XTXH chip appeared on the market, i.e. specially binned chips, there is also a new device ID in circulation, which we have now included in version 1.3.4 of the MorePowerTool. You need more power? Enjoy! Have fun with my overclocking and tweaking, the MPT team wishes you! RED BIOS EDITOR and [...]
As I could learn from meanwhile three contacts at the manufacturers and suppliers unanimously, the so-called Qualified Samples (QS) differ again from the now delivered chips for mass production (MP). So, as correctly reported yesterday, the GA102 will become the GA102-202 or GA102-302. The beta driver 470.05, which is so interesting for the miners [...]
Driven by your own beta driver? NVIDIA had, after all, started adding ETH mining constraints to its Ampere ecosystem of hardware, firmware, and drivers with the GeForce RTX 3060. It should be insurmountable like the Berlin Wall. Well, yes, but their end is also well known. NVIDIA had torn down their own wall right away, because they accidentally [...]
At the moment the last series of measurements for this very complex article are still in progress, which I will be able to present to you tomorrow (and which I have completely underestimated in terms of scope). Because that Intel’s 11. We already know since my launch article “Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, Core i5-11600K and [...]
My colleague Usman Pirzada from WCCFTECH noticed something interesting while writing an article about the GTC 2021 announcement, because the wording of the blog post seemed a bit too ominous to him. That’s because when he took a closer look at the flashing lights in the tweet, he realized there was a Morse code message embedded in it. So it [...]
Intel running out of wafers – shortage and extreme price jumps expected for Rocket Lake S in Q2 2021
The lack of things never ceases. Products that come from TSMC, such as GPUs and CPUs from AMD, have been in plenty of short supply for some time now (with a few exceptions). Intel CPUs manufactured in their own foundries were quite available from launch (at least some models) and CPU prices were actually also pleasingly affordable. My colleague [...]
At MyDrivers, it has been reported that customs authorities in Hong Kong have seized a total of 300 custom-built NVIDIA mining graphics cards. The graphics cards are marked as contraband units and were allegedly destined for Chinese mining farms. To that end, however, it’s also important to note that China still has a ban against [...]
