Since Google banned Huawei from using Google apps on its new phones, Huawei has worked hard to develop an alternative app ecosystem. The company has teamed up with other Chinese OEMs such as Xiaomi, Oppo and Vivo to create a Play Store alternative, and has even provided a whopping billion dollars to developers joining its platform. Huawei's [...]
Many players, but especially AMD's customers or suppliers, are now wondering what the future could bring with the global impact on supply chains. AMD's Dr Lisa Su has sent a message to her partners and pledged that they will support them and do everything they can to support their business. According to Dr Lisa Su, the focus is on the [...]
AMD has long seen itself as a strong proponent of next-generation graphics API technologies with low overhead such as Microsoft DirectX 12, which, for example, is take games to a whole new level. Now AMD is also saying that it will partner with Microsoft to offer full support for DirectX 12 Ultimate in the upcoming AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture [...]
Actually, Nvidia has a good laugh, because what Microsoft releases today as DXR 1.1 (DirectX Ray Tracing) makes at least this part the quasi-standard for PCs and consoles to the same extent. None of this is surprisingly new now, given that at the end of October last year you had a post called "Dev Preview of New DirectX 12 Features" on [...]
There is work like a string and if there are no new graphics chips in sight, then you are all the more happy about exotic and unusual graphic solutions away from the usual bling bling mainstream! This is what happened with the KalmX from Palit, where the successor to the GTX 1050 Ti KalmX is hardly more expensive, but much faster. Whether this [...]
The Folding@home project has been using the computing power voluntarily provided by users for years for simulations that help to develop drugs. For current reasons, it has been decided to use computing power for research into the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus in order to search for a cure or a vaccine for the COVID19 disease caused by the virus. If you [...]
After 10 workstation graphics cards tested, I prepared a whopping 64 different chart graphics and invested almost 200 hours of pure benchmark time without assemling and software configuration. Of course, various cards are still missing, especially since AMD unfortunately does not show too much zeal in the sampling. I also have models in the test [...]
Anyone who wondered why things were so quiet here today: force majeure. And I can't hear, read or snort the nasty C-word anymore. As the family father of two young children (5 and 8) one is suddenly promoted to a hoarder and teacher in personal union and mutates in leisure time to a fell-free hamster and daring toilet paper tiger. This in [...]
According to wccftech.com, the first AMD Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' desktop CPUs are obviously already in circulation and one of these copies has now been discovered by the hardware supplier _Rogame. The Ryzen 4000 'Renoir' CPUs (essentially an APU) are based on the 7 nm architecture and are equipped with the new Zen 2 CPU and improved [...]
The rumours were already in full circulation last night and now it is official: The E3 2020 was cancelled due to the escalating health crisis caused by the coronavirus. The E3 organizers, the Entertainment Software Association, have issued a press release promising a refund to anyone who has already purchased tickets for the show, and that a kind [...]
Distributed network attacks are often performed as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which almost always use bot networks, i.e. "zombie PCs" of careless users taken over by malware. This makes a lot of things more difficult, as it is often no longer possible to make a geographical assignment that could have temporarily [...]
2K Games is now the next publisher to remove its entire range of games from GeForce NOW, the cloud streaming service introduced by NVIDIA last month after several years of beta. As usual, NVIDIA provided the news about the GeForce NOW forums. However, the community representative also said talks are underway with 2K Games to get the company back [...]
Sometimes the number of reviews varies noticeably, but this is not because I might want to write something or have my face tanned by the video lamps. No, it is the work "besides" that nobody sees, but which is necessary for the creation of many articles and if it is basic study on the subject. Because you should only write about things [...]
Recently, developers have found a way to perform an iPhone jailbreak with a rooted Android device. Perhaps the most ambitious crossover episode of all time also found out how to run the Android operating system on the iPhone itself. The Sandcastle project is an initiative that makes it possible to flash a slightly more functional, slimmed-down [...]
Samsung has made a monumental leap with the Galaxy S20 Ultra in terms of hardware specifications, features and, above all, sheer size. It's an absolute beast from a phone and to find out exactly how it all works now and especially what you've done inside (and how), iFixit took the flagship apart and decided to show us more by video. The [...]
NVIDIA is on the verge of launching its new GeForce RTX SUPER mobile GPUs, which improve specifications and improve performance compared to existing GeForce RTX mobile GPUs. It looks like PCGamesN has got an internal slide in hand that shows up to 50% better performance of each SUPER variant compared to the older non-SUPER siblings. The Turing [...]
Intel's CFO George Davis showed up at Morgan Stanley's TMT conference, having a refreshingly honest and open discussion with the analysts present about the 10 nm process. The company revealed that it plans to press ahead with the 10+ process this year, but also warned that 10 nm as a node "simply won't be the best node Intel has [...]
Until now, the popular GPU cooler could only be mounted obliquely or not at all on a GeForce RTX 2080 (Ti), RTX 2080 Super or RTX 2070 Super, as the two Bracktes did not contain any really suitable threaded holes. However, as demand piled up and there are enough cards with less powerful coolers on the market, the question of a conversion was [...]
I had already mentioned in the article "Intel Core i9 vs. AMD Ryzen 9: How convex or concave are the current heatspreaders really and what are the consequences?" roughly torn, where I see the problem of the so-called IHS. The feedback from the readers was very positive, with voices also being heard calling for a more accurate [...]
They're spinning, the Japanese… At least that's what you might think when you visit the website of the Japanese startup "Bauhütte". The "Ü" on the homepage and press release, which is deprived of both points, is just a question of the right (or wrong) keyboard, as in the assimilated "Uber" mode. And the [...]
