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 [...]
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 [...]
