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 [...]
Synology’s DS923 has already been on the market for a year, whereas they already took their time with the DS920. By the way, long product cycles are more of an advantage than a disadvantage in my opinion, because the product and software mature without blind haste. With an AMD Ryzen R1600 as the main processor, four drive bays, two M.2 slots [...]
Much helps much, my grandma used to say. And before you throw something away, it’s better to make something new out of it. So say my grandma and Intel. After Raptor Lake is before Arrow Lake, and so the Raptor refresh comes almost exactly one year later. Says Intel and my grandma is silent. And so, in addition to a bit more clock, at least [...]
Today’s news deals with the first day of Intel’s Innovation 2023 and uses Intel’s official press material for this (due to a lack of personal presence). Of course, the following content is written from Intel’s point of view and should be classified accordingly. Nevertheless, it is of course interesting to read how and where [...]
AMD is now officially finalizing the 4th generation of the EPYC family with the AMD EPYC 8004 processors designed specifically for cloud services. The new processors deliver exceptional power efficiency and strong performance in an optimized, single-socket package, supported by Dell Technologies, Ericsson, Lenovo, Supermicro and others, and [...]
You can invest a lot of things for and in something. Time, energy and, of course, a lot of money. But if you take the latter in hand, on the one hand to save time and energy, and on the other hand to test or uncover things that your normal (media) competitors can’t, then something like this is well worth it. After all, I have two mainstays [...]
Actually, everything looked so good when I recently started the big roundup of workstation graphics cards and also published the first part with all four new Radeon Pro graphics cards. The cards didn’t perform badly, on the contrary. But I already noted things during benchmarking back then that I definitely wanted to re-test. Especially [...]
Courage for the gap! Why nothing is sometimes more than normal and everything somehow needs its time
Actually, after almost 2 weeks of endless benchmarks and the first roundup of the new workstation graphics cards, I wanted to quickly cover the new Radeon Pro W7000 series as a separate article and draw a preliminary line before the next cards. So, the four new cards with beautiful, unique product images (which I’ve already done) and all the [...]
The French company nPerf, based in Lyon, has a worldwide server network that is also optimized to measure your connection speed precisely. We have included the GUI ourselves on our homepage and have been using this service for our readers for years. Today’s study is based on tests conducted by users of the nPerf mobile app, which is [...]
AMD today announced two new professional graphics cards, the Radeon Pro W7600 and Radeon Pro W7500. Both cards are based on the new RDNA 3 architecture and offer a range of features that make them suitable for a variety of professional applications. AMD thus rounds off the product family at the bottom. A Radeon W7700 has not yet been colped [...]
It is reported that OpenAI is working with NVIDIA to assemble a significant number of AI GPUs for ChatGPT’s latest GPT-4 model. It is also reported that the companies are working together to secure 10 million AI GPUs from NVIDIA for the Advanced AI model. ChatGPT is currently using a large number of NVIDIA’s latest AI-focused GPUs and [...]
You would think that Windows 11 automatically includes at least the most important standard drivers. The WLAN is active and there might even be an Ethernet cable in the LAN port. You feel well prepared and then you get to a point where you really wonder if they smoked some special weed in Redmond. I have rarely seen so much stupid ignorance and [...]
If you own one of the newer ASUS router models, ASUS strongly recommends updating the firmware to the latest version. A number of critical vulnerabilities have been identified, including the two most serious ones labeled CVE-2022-26376 and CVE-2018-1160. These vulnerabilities are rated 9.8 on a scale of 1 to 10. However, if you are using third [...]
Since I like to measure everything that has just any plug (or socket) and also want to support my friend Aris in his work, I brought the latest PMD (Power Measurements Device) right from Taipei (along with something else that was then unfortunately less beautiful, but free). The first brand new Powenetics kits were already delivered to their happy [...]
Today I would like to give you some more information about what has been delayed for a while, the reasons are well known. At NVIDIA’s headquarters in Taipei, I had the opportunity to check out a few delicacies outside the current mainstream. It’s always interesting to see something like that, so I’m willing to take a longer cab [...]
Increasing demand for computing power and growing energy efficiency requirements have greatly influenced the development of data center technologies in recent years. AMD and 451 Research, a leading technology analysis and market research firm, have played a critical role in shaping and analyzing these developments. Of interest here are advances [...]
Take a Ryzen 7 7700X, piggyback some 3D V-cache and halve the power consumption of the Intel Core i9-13900K. The half Ryzen 9 7950X is ready, which now comes to the customer as Ryzen 7 7800X3D without the second die and can still usually act just as fast in gaming. It’s not squaring the circle, but it’s close. As long as you use [...]
Recent filings show that the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, is having difficulty obtaining certain documents from Microsoft and Activision. The FTC is a U.S. federal agency responsible for enforcing consumer protection and antitrust laws.The FTC’s difficulties in connection with the Microsoft-Activision merger are particularly evident in [...]
To accelerate enterprise adoption of generative AI, NVIDIA today unveiled a suite of cloud services that enable enterprises to develop, refine and deploy custom big language and generative AI models based on their own proprietary data and designed for their specific industry-specific tasks. Companies that will create and use AI models [...]
Sure, the title sounds lurid at first, but it actually contains everything that really characterized this review of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D, because this is where a highly efficient and in many areas really extremely fast CPU meets smaller, self-imposed hurdles. This may sound more dramatic at first than it really is in the end, and it [...]
I’m sure I don’t need to describe a router any further, because everyone knows that the Internet doesn’t just come out of the wall socket, but also needs to be distributed throughout the home in a manner that is as latency-free and high-bandwidth as possible. Since Wi-Fi 6E now enables real tri-band routers that can generate a [...]
