    ASRock Innovates First AMD Radeon RX 7000 Graphics Card with 12V-2x6 Power Connector

    Fun part, you missed the part where the RTX 4090 has a 450W TDP, the XTX has 355W IIRC.. Hell even the RTX 4080 has 320W and it has much lower chances of having these issues, it's like 95%+ of the problems come from RTX 4090 because it uses so much power, and the connector looked like a...

    AMD to Discontinue Windows 10 Support for its Ryzen 9000 "Strix Point" Mobile Processors

    I personally think it's a push from Microsoft for the CPU & GPU manufactures, Both Intel and NV will follow it as well. Microsoft is done with people delaying the Windows upgrade and try to use it's power to force the Hardware makers to not support older softwares to force users to always use...

    Fractal Design North XL

    So, how long we will have to wait to get more than USB-C port in the front IO? It doesn't need to be USB 3.2 gen bla bla bla (10 or 20gb), just replace the Type-A with type-C, or at least make the thing modular so the user can choose what they want !!

    Top AMD RDNA4 Part Could Offer RX 7900 XTX Performance at Half its Price and Lower Power

    According to rumors, there were two reasons 1. RDNA5 is shaping to be promising enough that they have to prioritize more resources to finalize it ASAP. 2. RDNA4 Multi Chiplet design is still inefficient compared to RDNA5, going RDNA4 high-end means a lot of work for diminishing results. So they...

    SK Hynix Throws a Jab: CAMM is Coming to Desktop PCs

    Wow, so ATX motherboards will finally have a single PCIe slot now!! Seriously, They have to do something, people are using MATX instead of ITX or ATX because they might need extra PCIe Slot, but still need a compact system, the additional M.2 slots wasted so much space that there's a MATX or...

    Samsung Notes: HBM4 Memory is Coming in 2025 with New Assembly and Bonding Technology

    There's a rumored Strix Halo, while it will not have HBM or vCache as far as we know, it will have 256bit memory bus and a beefed up iGPU. I'm still waiting for the low-cost HBM alternative they announced many years ago, but I guess it was scrapped duo to low demand. It was designed to use a...

    Logitech Introduces Ergonomic Wave Keys and Wave Keys for Business

    I'm waiting for a new Craft keyboard (or MX Keys/Mechanical with a knob) with a Windows Hello fingerprint reader on the right side (the opposite side of the knob). Microsoft already has a wireless keyboard with a fingerprint reader, but it seems it has entered end of life as its out of stock in...

    Elon Musk Announces that Twitter Will Change Name to X

    Twitter was used to be recognized by the letter t alone, and because there are three T's in Twitter and they changed it to X now, I suggest they change it to XXX instead.

    AMD Starts Software Enablement of Zen 5 Processors

    It's possible but it's not feasible unless they intentionally made the 3 channels only on high-end motherboards (like the new B650E and X670E, they can have more PCIe lanes and an extra channel). And not in AM5 also, the main reason is the extra channel requiring extra pins, and require extra...

    Realtek's 5 Gbps Ethernet Solutions Will Reduce Cost and Power Draw Significantly

    Dude, read again.. It's a proof of concept for the motherboard makers, as they require that this solution is able to work with elevated ethernet ports just like this one, where there are 2 USB ports between the motherboard and the actual ethernet jack, if it can't handle this, most motherboard...

    AMD Automotive Introduces XA AU10P and XA AU15P Cost-optimized Processors

    I would love to have these in my laptop, so the RGB can dance when a hot chick pass by without me noticing her. Jk, I don't care about that, but the geeky side of me would love to know the CPU/VPU/FPGA maker in my future car.

    Intel Exploring x86S Architecture, Envisions an Unadulterated 64-bit Future

    I like it, 32bit has become rare to the point that only limited hardware is being used for such systems (embedded CPUs and OSs). But, they'll have to work with at least AMD, IBM, Microsoft & the Linux community for this to work probably, this is not a simple x86 extension anymore like SSE, AVX...

    Samsung Develops Industry's First CXL DRAM Supporting CXL 2.0

    AMD said to expect CXL to get into consumer products as well which is interesting, specially for APUs and laptops. Currently, to get the most of AMD APUs, they need to go the LPDDR5 route, which is good and bad, good because of how fast the memory are yet power efficient, bad because of lack of...

    AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX Beats Core i9-13950HX In Gaming Performance, Dragon Range Equipped Laptops Available Now

    This is true actually, In the past two generations, I've been waiting for an AMD laptop to be released, but it only went on sale in October/November, and reached my region 3-4 months later (1year after announcement), the actual announcement was in CES with expected release in March/April. But...
