    GIGABYTE Launches the AORUS ELITE Series Power Supplies

    "the single PCIe Gen 5 16-pin cable supports up to 600W of power delivery." One way or the other it will blow. Everyday a 4090 melts many 16-pin cables around the world. I wonder if they will fix that in the 5090.

    Apple COO Meets with TSMC CEO to Reserve First Batch of 2 nm Allocation

    Idiots must first stop buying 1k usd iphones to browser the web and use whatsapp and yeah a 50 usd phone will do that. It is not about use anymore, is about showing off that stupidity has no limits.

    Intel "Battlemage" Graphics Architecture to Update Display Engine with UHBR13.5

    So basically this is saving $3, I do understand if they do this to low end gpus but high end, dp 2.1 80g is a must, 54g is not enough for 4k 240hz lossless.

    NVIDIA to Implement GDDR7 Memory on Top-3 "Blackwell" GPUs

    What is the difference between TSMC N4P and N5? "In October 2021, TSMC introduced a new member of its "5 nm" process family: N4P. Compared to N5, the node offered 11% higher performance (6% higher vs N4), 22% higher power efficiency, 6% higher transistor density and lower mask count. TSMC...

    NVIDIA "Blackwell" GeForce RTX to Feature Same 5nm-based TSMC 4N Foundry Node as GB100 AI GPU

    If AMD secured a 3nm node then I see nvidia not viable for this gen. I really hope AMD will use the moment to shine, I'm sure price node is a concern I guess for nvidia, they want to pay less and less and make more profits. Maybe they planned this all along. They could have done it on 3nm or...

    NVIDIA "Blackwell" GeForce RTX to Feature Same 5nm-based TSMC 4N Foundry Node as GB100 AI GPU

    If a miracle happens and nvidia come and say a 5090 will be 1000 dollars then that will be a success in my book. If they can not deliver a generational progress then at least cut the price in half, AMD usually does that, will nvidia do the same? I don't think so.

    NVIDIA "Blackwell" GeForce RTX to Feature Same 5nm-based TSMC 4N Foundry Node as GB100 AI GPU

    Generational progress was 4 in 4 years, nvidia want to make 6 years now. They are doing the same thing Intel has done, intel was doing good up to the first 14nm product then things got messed up and then we got from Intel 14+++++++++++++++++, AMD surpassed Intel, will AMD use that to surpass...

    NVIDIA "Blackwell" GeForce RTX to Feature Same 5nm-based TSMC 4N Foundry Node as GB100 AI GPU

    Maxwell to me was not a failed product, 28nm 2012 - 2016, 3 product releases 680, 780 and 980, that was 4 years then we got a new 16 nm 1080 in 2016 and then in 2018 we got a 12nm then in 2020 we got a 8nm 3080, in 2022 we got a 4090 4nm and in 2024 still a 4nm? If this is true then this is the...

    NVIDIA "Blackwell" GeForce RTX to Feature Same 5nm-based TSMC 4N Foundry Node as GB100 AI GPU

    Disappointing. I was excited to buy a RTX 5090, I'm not anymore. Seriously? come on, if there is not advancement and yet charging an arm and a leg for it, is a failed product. If AMD play the cards well then nvidia is done for this gen. But as we know AMD has been following nvidia in price and...

    Unwrapping the NVIDIA B200 and GB200 AI GPU Announcements

    Is not blackwell supposed to be 3nm? Hopper is 4nm too, nvidia ceo said they only made it bigger, so I guess that will be the same for gpus too? still 4nm? last rumors said nvidia would make blackwell gaming gpus 3nm, I wonder if that still on the table. That is my thought as well, strange, I...

    Qubic Cryptocurrency Mining Craze Causes AMD Ryzen 9 7950X Stocks to Evaporate

    At this time, price/hardwaredevaluation/reward/volatility is not worth the effort, people doing this are morons because 3 usd gross is net 2$ per day right now per 1200 usd, that is 600 days to roi as soon as more people get in, that 2$ will become cents, in the end you will pay to mine and once...
