As Alexandra Alper from Reuters announced, Intel is once again allowed to sell chips to the Chinese company Huawei and thus a complaint by AMD to the American authority fails at the same time. But what happened? Intel had a license from the Trump administration at the time that allowed the company to sell chips to Huawei. The Chinese company has [...]
Deepcool is launching the new Morpheus case onto the market with a completely new concept. Deepcool confidently advertises a fully modular PC case that can be adapted to any situation from the ground up. This case really scored points with me, as it allows you to install either a single-chamber system or a dual-chamber system in the case. Will the [...]
Our colleagues at Tomshardware have reported on a new world record, the latest Core i9-14900KS from Intel, which has quickly become one of the most sought-after CPUs for enthusiasts. With an impressive boost clock speed of 6.2 GHz – the highest of any consumer processor – and an overclocking potential that is second to none, the chip [...]
After we recently had several mini PCs with a similar housing, this appears to be a slightly newer and improved version with a very similar design. The following test report will tell you what else there is to discover. Pre-installed malware was recently found on systems from this manufacturer, read more here: Packaging and scope of delivery The [...]
According to Tomshardware, the developer “terminatorul” has released a UEFI driver that enables ReBAR (Resizable Base Address Register) on systems with Nvidia Turing graphics cards. Owners of GeForce GTX 16 and RTX 20 series GPUs can thus benefit from this function for the first time, which is normally only available for RTX 30 cards [...]
Just over a year after the release of the extremely popular NORTH case with the attractive front cover in wood decor, FRACTAL DESIGN is now sending a much-requested XL version, in which high-end systems and water circuits should not feel so cramped. Read our test to find out how the big brother performs in everyday use. When Fractal Design [...]
We have been testing various mini PCs and barebones for quite some time now, but a model from the manufacturer that practically invented and popularized this segment has been missing until now. We’re making up for that today and can say goodbye in the same breath, because there will be no more “original” Intel NUCs. At least they [...]
While the white edition of its predecessor saw the light of day as a limited edition, the Dark Base Pro 901 (and 701) will now be available to everyone in white. Reason enough to take another look at the machine. Normally, it makes little sense to test an already tested case again in a different color if hardly anything else about the product has [...]
We recently reported that malware was found in certain revisions of systems from the manufacturer Acemagic. As we had also tested these mini PCs and they were connected to my network, the matter was of course even more explosive. If you want to read the whole thing again, you can find the original article here: And even though I couldn’t [...]
Micron Technology recently announced that it has started mass production of its High Bandwidth Memory 3E (HBM3E). Micron’s 24 GB 8H HBM3E will become a component of the NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs. The NVIDIA H200 series with Micron’s HBM3E is scheduled to ship in the second quarter. According to Micron, this HBM3e memory will consume [...]
Modders have once again set about modifying the older generation GeForce RTX 2080 graphics card from NVIDIA. This graphics card was originally released with 8GB of VRAM, but the modders have successfully upgraded it to 16GB. I have also linked a video at the end. The GeForce RTX 2080 was originally introduced by NVIDIA in 2018 based on the Turing [...]
The NZXT uses a CWT platform that offers high efficiency, quiet operation and ATX v3.0 and PCIe 5.0 compatibility. Only the large version is being tested today, as in addition to the 1200 watt model, there is also a 1000 watt version and one with 850 watts. However, although these two smaller power supplies look like a series, the 2022 model is [...]
The Clearwater Forest CPUs are expected to be launched on the market in mid-2024 as the successor to the Sierra Forest Xeon chips. Both chips have one thing in common: the use of E-cores instead of P-cores. The E-cores used in the Sierra Forest chips are codenamed Sierra Glen and are modified versions of the Crestmont core architecture. The [...]
The Zen 5 CPU architecture will be a big step for AMD in 2024 as it will include several lines of CPU families including Granite Ridge “Ryzen Desktop”, Strix Point “Ryzen Mobile” and Torino “EPYC Server”. All of these CPU families will play an important role and it looks like these chips will enter TSMC [...]
I’m letting my friend Aris have his say again today and would be delighted if you would also support his plans. What he’s testing is sound, but it’s really hard to make a name for yourself in this age of colorful YouTube videos and dangerous TikTok half-truths. And so today we’re sharing our reach again and I’m [...]
Recently, there have been reports that the Intel Core i9-14900KS processor is expected to be available in stores from March 2024. And yes, it looks like various retailers have already started preparing for the upcoming launch by listing and pricing the CPU in their official stores. One of the retail price lists for the Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU [...]
As we have tested various small systems from the AceMagic brand, among others, and have also included them in our “Mini-PC” category, there is unfortunately no way around today’s rather unpleasant report. Recently, several sites reported that viruses or malware were found on various mini PCs from AceMagic. And not [...]
The popular Ryzen Master Tool from AMD, which is often used by overclockers, has received a new update to version 2.13.0.2908. This version brings support for the recently released “Hawk Point” Ryzen 8000G APUs. This enhancement is particularly noteworthy in that it shows that APUs are in no way inferior to Ryzen 7000(X) CPUs in terms [...]
We already tested this processor a while ago, and today we have another comparable system from a different manufacturer. So let’s take a look to see if not only the availability and price could be improved compared to the EQ12. If you want to catch up on the article, you can do so here: Packaging and scope of delivery This mini PC is also [...]
Intel’s upcoming flagship processor, the Core i9-14900KS Limited Edition CPU, has leaked inside OCCT and impresses as a true beast in every way, including of course its drinking behavior. There are now quite a few reports about the Intel Core i9-14900KS CPU sighting, as the chip has already been listed online at various retailers and alleged [...]
