It wasn’t easy to find the right attributes for AMD’s new Ryzen 9 9950X and the right headline for the test article. But while I was able to pull myself out of the noose elegantly with a relatively large amount of text, AMD will probably still have to sit, sweat and make a lot of improvements. There were certainly other reasons for the [...]

It has now been almost 3 months since we took a look at the NAS products of an unexpected new competitor on the market. So it’s a good time to take another look at UGOS and hopefully present the improvements that have appeared in the meantime. And since the 6-bay version is now also available, we’ll start with this one. If you are more [...]
Testing the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X as a harbinger of AMD’s new Ryzen 9000 series would only really be a cracker if AMD had raised the bar to completely new heights in terms of either performance or price or both. That’s not exactly the case, but the test is still very interesting because you have to look at all the charts in their entirety [...]
NVIDIA is facing new challenges as the production of its anticipated Blackwell GPUs may be stalled. These delays could have a significant impact on the artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing market, especially considering NVIDIA’s role in these areas. The Blackwell GPUs were originally scheduled for release in 2024. This [...]
Now that the foundation for the home network had been laid, it was time to install a small home server that would also provide some network services as a comprehensive NAS replacement. The biggest challenge here was undoubtedly the network cabinet, which was actually far too small. It was foreseeable and already teased in the first part of the [...]
As my blog-style articles often generate a lot of interest and there are a lot of network nerds in our forum, I decided to take you on my little journey from 8-port switch to 19″ network cabinet. While Igor reported live from Taiwan on the occasion of the Computex trade fair and has to gather his thoughts after the fair, I’ll show you [...]
Today we’re doing something completely different, because for once it’s not about gaming, which is getting boring by now, but about the new golden calf, namely AI. NVIDIA’s record result of 26.04 billion dollars in sales announced yesterday represents an increase of 262 percent, so it was simply time for a test. I am testing a [...]
After we tested the DXP4800 Plus from Ugreen in detail a few days ago, the smaller 2-bay version should of course not be missing. For most users it doesn’t have to be a maximum of 96TB in RAID5, a simple and above all cheaper backup solution is sufficient. And this is exactly what Ugreen wants to offer with the DXP2800, so let’s take a [...]
I don’t think I was the only one who was a little surprised when Ugreen announced that it would now be offering network storage in addition to power banks, chargers and other small electronics – these markets don’t have much in common, but the advertised specifications are exciting. Ideliberately took my time with a review and [...]
In addition to its new P16v i Gen 2, P16s i Gen 3 and P14s i Gen 5 models, Lenovo has also introduced the ThinkPad P1 Gen 7, which is also the first to feature LPCAMM2 memory. But very slowly. First of all, what’s inside this new model from Lenovo? You can expect a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, narrow bezels for a screen-to-body [...]
In a significant step towards improving the performance and security of next-gen server platforms, Intel and JEDEC have unveiled the capabilities of DDR5-8800 memory. This breakthrough technology promises to significantly increase data processing speed and efficiency, especially for AI and machine learning (ML) workloads. JEDEC, the standards [...]
The two new GPUs, based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, offer real-time ray tracing and support for generative AI tools on any workstation. The integration of AI into design and productivity applications is not only en vogue right now, but is continuously becoming the new standard and increasing the demand for more and more specialized [...]
Packaging and scope of delivery In case you forget who made the NAS between buying it and receiving it, the name is printed again on each side of the box. Very helpful! The contents are protected by foam blocks cut to size, and there is also a box with the accessories on the side. In it we find a 90 watt EA10952F-120 power supply unit, screws for [...]
Of course, we remember my last measurements on the radiators and the respective material analyses, some of which showed different things than the customer (or manufacturer) actually expected. Apart from the fact that alloys are often not 100% homogeneous, major deviations should of course not occur. Yes, trace elements below one wt% are more of a [...]
NVIDIA’s next generation Blackwell architecture, named after renowned American mathematician and statistician David Harold Blackwell, is set to pave the way for groundbreaking advances in GPU technology. The new Blackwell series, specifically the B100 GPU, will be launched later this year and promises to deliver a significant performance [...]
In an informal discussion, the CEOs of NVIDIA and HP have now predicted that 2024 will be the year when generative AI becomes personal. They unveiled new laptops capable of creating, testing and executing large-scale language models. At HP Amplify, a gathering in Las Vegas of some 1,500 resellers and distributors, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen [...]
We have been hosting the nPerf Speed Test on our website for some time now. The French company, which is based in Lyon, offers comprehensive network test solutions and analyses. As a result, it is also interesting to see which network provider stood out best in this country with the mobile Internet. Data from the period from January 2023 to [...]
Laptops need more and more power to perform more intensive tasks. Especially when you’re on the go to get your work done, it can sometimes get very heavy and tiring. Thanks to generative AI and hybrid work environments, such tasks can be handled better and better and with NVIDIA’s new 500 and 1000 RTX laptop GPUs, it should get even [...]
Against excessive spam in the forum – blocking of mail providers, IP number ranges and country codes
You will no doubt have noticed that there have been an increasing number of attacks on the integrity of our forum and website in recent days. But what you can see publicly is unfortunately only the tiny tip of a big fat iceberg that is not only being pushed by the usual spammers but also by the cold warriors of redirected links. The forum in [...]
AMD has introduced some significant changes to the SP6 socket compared to its predecessors. The SP6 socket (LGA 4844), which was introduced on September 18, 2023, is specially designed for the Epyc 8004 processors of the Siena series, which are based on the Zen 4c architecture. It is aimed at server systems that are geared towards infrastructure [...]
Where do current workstation graphics cards from both manufacturers stand when it comes to design, construction, simulation, 3D visualization and creation? Has AMD been able to catch up or even overtake with the new lineup of Radeon Pro graphics cards or are Ada and Ampere still the measure of all things? I’ll try to find objective answers [...]
NVIDIA introduces its new superchips, which offer a combination of Grace CPU and Hopper GPU chips. These chips enable the entire AI and data center ecosystem to reap the benefits. The team at NVIDIA aims to provide customers with a comprehensive package that allows them to focus on different types of workloads in the industry. This is achieved by [...]
The Xinfrared T2S Plus is considered one of the pioneers among thermal imaging cameras for smartphones with a usable 8mm macro lens. This special design allows users to capture detailed thermal images of objects even at close range, which is especially useful for identifying heat loss, the condition of insulation, electrical problems and details [...]
With the Radeon Pro W7700, AMD is now closing the huge gap between the previously tested Radeon Pro W7800 and W7600, thereby completing its own portfolio of RDNA3 graphics cards for productive use. Even though this chip and the corresponding design as a gaming graphics card would place it very elegantly between a Radeon RX 7600 and the RX 7700XT [...]
Short connection? Then you only need to own a Fritz!Box from AVM and operate it in Deutsche Telekom’s fiber optic network (FTTH). If you then call a mobile phone number and want to talk a little longer, you will lose relatively quickly. Or rather, after just two minutes and one second. Because that’s when the connection is lost and you [...]
