    $30,000 Music Streaming Server is the Next Audiophile Dream Device

    Pff, old crap for plebs. Their 67000€ Olympus server with a 24 core Treadripper is for true audiophiles. /s

    Social Media Imagines AMD "Navi 48" RDNA 4 to be a Dual-Chiplet GPU

    Well, Navi31 has 5.3 TB/s bandwith between GCD and MCDs on a regular fiberglass substrate. And 2.5 TB/s of bandwith are enough for Apple to glue two dies together so the Ultra SKU functions basically as a monolithic chip. If the latency is low enough this rumor isnt even that unrealistic.

    The B650E Aorus Stealth Ice is Gigabyte's First Motherboard for AMD CPUs with its Connectors on the Back

    Yes, from a quick look, a bunch support it. For example the Adata case from yesterday, InWin D5, Corsair 3500X or Asus GT302 all have the appropiate cutouts.

    The B650E Aorus Stealth Ice is Gigabyte's First Motherboard for AMD CPUs with its Connectors on the Back

    Always thought this was most common nomenclature. And this really should have been a mATX design with that much wasted PCB space.

    Local game streaming from Radeon 7900xtx to Android is proving to be a miserable experience

    AMD Link always was crappy and will EOL in 1Q24. Sunshine and Moonlight is what you're looking for.

    Intel Claims Meteor Lake Beating Ryzen 7040 Phoenix in both Graphics and CPU Performance

    A GPU with 33% more shaders but only 11% higher performance on average is kinda meh.

    Elmor Labs Unveils its own Overclock Panel Accessory

    Those pics are from Videocardz. They love AI upscaling and turning everything into garbled mush.

    MINISFORUM Launches BD770i ITX Board With AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX

    $500 will get you an equivalent R7 7700 + A620i or a 12700 + B760i and a cooler but only PCIe4. So, nice tech but only really worth it for the initial $400 and if you want those PCIe5 lanes...

    Intel Confirms Meteor Lake Desktop CPUs Coming in 2024

    Bet it's just the standard mobile chip on a different substrate, like Broadwell 2.0.

    GC-HCPE Power Connector Can Supply more Than 600 Watts to GPU

    Just put some cables on the connector and use it like a regular cable from the PSU. mITX would be ideal for this as you could use any mainboard with this proprietary GPU. But what's really needed is an update to the ancient 20 year old PCIe connector, ie like the PECFF spec which supports...

    ASUS has a GeForce RTX 4060 Ti Card with an M.2 SSD Slot

    AFAIK MSI removed bifurcation support on most boards when they added ReBAR support. At least on my B450I and the tomahawk.

    AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D Selling Nearly Twice as Fast as 5800X3D in Some Regions

    IIRC the only "real" instance was the original one which set everything in motion. The other few dead CPUs were killed deliberately by Youtubers to recreate the problem.

    Intel LGA 7529 Socket Photographed Again, Comparisons Show Gargantuan Physical Footprint

    A 10 phase VRM with 90A or 105A powerstages would be more than enough for its 500W TDP.
