    Intel Abandons "x86S" Plans to Focus on The Regular x86-64 ISA Advisory Group

    I wonder why they didn't put the x86S plans on the x86-64 ISA Advisory Group table to discuss it as a proposal. Unless they didn't do anything yet, so nothing to put on the table in the first place.

    U.S. Unveils Massive Export Restrictions on China's Chip Industry Targeting 140 Firms

    They never learn, it will do two things:- China will get what they want, later and more expensive, but they will get it. China will also accelerate their efforts to develop their own advanced chip manufacturer technologies, which will give them independency and then the US won't be able to do...

    Intel Arc B580 Card Pricing Leak Suggests Competitive Pricing

    How $250 price is considered a competitive price when the same class of it's older generation -the Arc A580- was $179? so that's a $70 jump; a 40% jump. So "Nvidiaing" pricing is the new normal now when you launch the same supposedly classed GPUs at higher prices then blame inflation? even...

    Sadly, like all new cases, it only has a single USB-C port. And tt doesn't seem compatible with the optional "Additional I/O Kit".

    AMD X870E and X870 Motherboards Have Been Released, Prices Start at $199 Up To $699

    Sadly, this is intended by MS to push W11 and force people to move from W10. They're doing it from a long time, they're also not accepting new hardware drivers for W10 because they'll end its support soon.

    ASUS Intros XG-C100C V3 10GbE PCIe NIC

    I mainly blame motherboard manufacturers for not adopting open-ended PCIe x1 slots forcing you to use only x1 cards. Answering your question; AIC makers try to please both PCIe 3.0 & PCIe 4.0 users by making the card bigger. If they made it x1 length it won't work at full speed on PCIe 3.0...

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

    I hope all manufacturers stop this immediately and go back to the drawing board to make an actual standard for this. I mean you buy one now and in two years, you can't upgrade or replace your case or motherboard because everything changed !!

    TSMC to Raise Wafer Prices by 10% in 2025, Customers Seemingly Agree

    Sadly, Samsung is far from competing with TSMC, their high-end nodes have issues like low yields, lower clocks, and higher power consumption compared to comparable TSMC nodes.

    Schneider Electric Announces European Availability of New APC Back-UPS Pro Gaming UPS

    It's the same case as a portable battery. It doesn't matter how big the battery is, the important thing is how smart the controller is while considering the spec. of the battery cells and their abilities, plus measuring the important information (voltages, temperature, current, impedance...

    TSMC Begins Experimenting with Rectangular Panel-Like Chip Packaging

    True, but the original silicon ingot that wafers are sliced from is cylindrical, this is how it was manufactured in the first place, doing it in a rectangular shape not only means different manufacturing but different processing in the whole chip-making process, including different machines and...

    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 !!
