Further details on Intel’s next generation of mobile CPUs, Lunar Lake, have been released to the public. With 8 cores, a Battlemage “Xe2” iGPU and clock speeds of up to 3.1 GHz, Lunar Lake promises a significant leap in performance compared to the current Meteor Lake generation (as we have already reported). The Lunar Lake CPUs [...]
For months, users have been reporting problems with some Z790 mainboards from MSI in public forums. The affected motherboards had cracks in the Platform Controller Hub (PCH), which led to system failures. YouTuber Joshi Repair recently brought the issue back into the spotlight after examining an MSI Z790 Tomahawk Wi-Fi motherboard with such a [...]
Anyone who remembers my article on the MiniXTec M1 from January may now be experiencing a bit of deja vu. Because a lot of things here seem suspiciously familiar to me too. But it’s no secret that many “manufacturers” across the hardware market commission the same OEM to print their name on a product. But it’s actually [...]
With a groundbreaking update, Llamafile catapults the performance of AMD Ryzen CPUs with AVX-512 to a new level. The result: up to ten times faster execution of complex LLM models on local systems. By utilizing the AVX-512 instruction set, specifically designed for AI and machine learning applications, Llamafile 0.7 enables developers and data [...]

In recent days, shipping manifests have become an important source of leaks in the hardware sector, reports TechPowerUP. For example, prototypes of the AMD mobile processors “Strix Point” and “Fire Range” were recently discovered. Now further leaks have emerged that point to the upcoming desktop processors of the Ryzen 9000 [...]
I think it will become clear on the next page at the latest what the title alludes to here. But so that the search engine crawlers don’t get the wrong impression of the content of the article and the manufacturer’s designers aren’t offended, you’ll have to come up with the answer yourself. Of course, that doesn’t stop [...]
At the beginning of the year, we already tested a “Max” case from Cooler Master here, but at that time for compact systems with an ITX mainboard. Today, another case follows with the same partially-prepared approach, but for ATX. This is not really my form factor, but our case specialist Alexander needs some time off and my test of the [...]
Most people know that technology is never 100% secure. One well-known method of obtaining sensitive data is the Rowhammer method, which has been around since 2014. Researchers at ETH Zurich recently published a report on the threat posed by AMD’s Zen 2 & 3 CPUs. But first, what is Rowhammer? A rowhammer attack is a method in which the [...]
The rumor mill has been active for months, but I recently received a few slides that confirm much of this. The Lunar Lake processors are said to have up to 8 cores, combining a maximum of 4 powerful Lion Cove P cores with 4 efficiency-oriented Skymont E cores. This configuration once again confirms Intel’s continued focus on the balance [...]
With the new edition of the tower series in the old classic vertical case design, Thermaltake has come up with a beautifully designed octagonal prism shape and gives the case a new shine and various color variations.

The big question that many people are asking themselves: Is it still worth buying an ATX v3.0 power supply now? Recently, everyone has been asking me why they should still buy an ATX v3.0 power supply when the ATX v3.1 specification has long been on the market. However, this is also because very few people even understand that the main difference [...]
It’s clear to everyone that, for the most part, a laptop doesn’t come close to a desktop PC. This is particularly noticeable when you want to play games or use more powerful applications. Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]
Micron or SK hynix? Each claims to be the first, as SK hynix has announced that it has gone into series production of its own HBM3E memory and will soon be launching it on the market.
