GlobalFoundries has now announced, somewhat surprisingly, that it intends to put the 7 nm process on hold indefinitely. The chip maker is again concentrating on the processes in 14/12 nm and promises to further perfect them. The company also stated that the majority of chip designers ultimately did not invest in the (expensive and therefore more [...]
Update from 30.08.2018 – 17:00 o'clock Since no one could foresee the momentum of the criticism and discussions (really not?), the criticized "Just Buy It!" -Article by the US colleague in the media, I have to speak again at this point. This is also because even this opinion has now gone extremely viral, which was not intended [...]
We still have to live with what Nvidia told us during Editors Day, because unfortunately I don't have my own benchmarks yet. But at least Nvidia presented a certainly interesting slide, which has to be interpreted precisely and without emotion. Nvidia tests all applications with 3840 x 2160 pixels, i.e. in Ultra HD and with an unspecified [...]
What Nvidia has released so far, I have put for you directly here on the server for scrolling through and afterpage. In addition to the well-known features, other RTF-specific functions are added. But always beautiful in turn… For example, Nvidia announced the introduction of Ansel RTX in its GeForce Experience software at Gamescom 2018 [...]
Will the wait for Nvidia's new generation of graphics cards come to an end soon? NVIDIA launches on Monday, 20 May. The GeForce Gaming Celebration will be announced at 6p on August 8, which almost certainly suggests a live presentation of the new gaming cards. So we can be curious. After the new Quadro cards of the RTX series and their [...]
Normally, Nvidia has always provided the in-house reference models for several generations now. the Founders Edition at the centre of the respective launches, while the on-board partner cards (usually as mockup or pre-series products) were only allowed to follow at least visually weeks later. This time, this is supposed to be completely different [...]
After the performance, of course, I also had time to visit the famous Q&A rounds, in which you sometimes also learn details that are missing in the actual events, for whatever reason. From left to right, Bob Pette (Vice President Professional Vizualisation), Tony Tamasi (Senior Vice President of Content and Technology), and Bob Sherbin (Vice [...]
So far, there is no trace of messegewusel. With the exception of a few floor cleaning and door-knocking agents, so far only monitors with announcements, locked corridors and security guards are a sign of a little launch feeling. The whole thing is hard to beat in secrecy and I can't remember ever making such a show around a Quadro graphics [...]
With the ZBOX CI660 nano, ZOTAC Technology introduces a new passively cooled mini-PC, which will be available in six versions in various power levels from the CI620 to the CI660. Intel's 8th-place Core i7 processors Generation with integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 should provide the necessary propulsion and still remain passively coolable [...]
Nvidia's CEO Jen-Hsun "Jensen" Huang is not an official speaker at Siggraph 2018 in Vancouver (12.08. 16.08.2018), but obviously always good for a surprise. For example, an event is scheduled for 13.08.2018 at 4 p.m. local time, which he himself will moderate. The live stream is already registered on Youtube and anyone who has some [...]
Apple was the first private company to exceed its market value of usd 1 trillion yesterday. The share value was USD 207.05 per share. This is due to the quarterly figures presented for this purpose. These have exceeded analysts' forecasts and investor expectations. Although critics were heard at the last launch of the iPhone when the price of [...]
The MSI RX 580 Gaming X with 8 GB is hard to get and if so, then at exorbitantly high prices beyond the 380 euros as a kind of residual item. The significantly slimmed-down Armor X is cheaper as a variant with 8 GB of memory expansion over 100 euros, but also easier to knit in terms of cooling and design. Of course, the Gaming X could have been [...]
So gaming gets a whole new boost!
Since the 25th. The new General Data Protection Regulation will be implemented in Europe in May 2018 – with fewer warnings than previously feared. Nevertheless, German companies in particular are not yet able to breathe. Temporarily shut down websites, blocked media offers and thousands of consultations with lawyers and data protection authorities [...]
Let's say Nvidia would launch a new (preliminary) top-of-the-line model in the foreseeable future (which is probably as certain as the Amen in the church) – what would this card be worth to you? Or rather, to what extent would you be willing to go along without the threat of violence? Of course, we don't know the exact specs of this [...]
After all the quarrels of the last months and the sporty-short-term migration to our own server, the time has finally come! Our forum is available and can be used again from now on. Unfortunately, you have to register again (I'll write about the reasons in a moment), but that shouldn't be a hurdle. The most important thing is that both the [...]
Thanks to a fundamental overhaul, the new SCHENKER SLIM 14 (M18) is considerably slimmer and lighter than its predecessor: the use of a 14 inch thin-bezel display allows its integration into a particularly compact, predominantly aluminium manufactured housing. The Ultrabook uses Eighth Core Intel quadcore processors and offers a good variety of [...]
The patent dispute between Apple and Samsung, which has been ongoing since April 2011, has now been settled (for now?). After so long, they were finally able to reach an out-of-court agreement. Details of the agreement were, of course, not disclosed, as is customary in such cases. However, the 539 million dollars awarded to Aplle by a jury in May [...]
Fujitsu Limited and RIKEN want to build the world's most powerful supercomputer. The strongest currently standing in the U,000, called Summit, has an output of 200,000 Terra FLOPS. For this purpose, the previous K computer, is to be replaced. This was the strongest in 2012 but was trumped in 2013. The new one is currently called post-K [...]
At first glance, we don't have it easy as a (ab)writing guild. The World Cup drags itself away and becomes a nonchalant lyrise event, the beloved, media summer hole is now as big as Lake Constance, the nerves lie bare everywhere and so many people are after the holiday. The consequences of this info-nothing(it) are clearly defined: one falls [...]
