    EK Launches Stand-Alone VTX Pumps As A DDC Alternative

    I'm assuming that head pressure of 5.3 mm in the fourth line is an extra "m" and should be 5.3 meters of head pressure. Looks to be corrected in that bullet list. This appears to be a happy medium between DDC and D5 pumps. DDC has good pressure but crap head pressure while D5 is good on the...

    SK hynix Platinum P51 14 GB/s PCIe Gen 5 SSD Revealed

    I think 500 GB is fine for the starting tier, especially if this is the primary OS drive. Almost all motherboards have more than 1 m.2 slot and many ITX boards have another slot on the back. Just build a NAS if you need more than 2 or 4 TB of NVME space; much more cost effective when dealing...

    Report: Apple to Use Google's Gemini AI for iPhones

    Because Linux/Unix sucks for everyday use where you need something to just work? The recent Nginx update fiasco (some dependency is conflicted in one of the sub-config libraries that has broken the entire update process) is another example of why Linux will never be on the same consumer level as...

    Tiny Corp. Pauses Development of AMD Radeon GPU-based Tinybox AI Cluster

    I'm annoyed that Mr. Hotz is blaming AMD for a use case scenario that is not supported by consumer level hardware when they (Tiny Corporation) clearly need to be using enterprise cards like the Instinct series. What a baby.

    Report: Apple to Use Google's Gemini AI for iPhones

    Nope, not updating to a newer iPhone until Gemini is not part of the experience. I've ripped everything out of our house's network that has anything to do with Google, and I'm not about to add their data-pinching grubby fingers back into my life. Edit: that and the PiHole will probably block...

    Pentagon Reportedly Refuses to Invest $2.5 Billion into Secret Intel Defense Grant

    Intel's lastest track record on computers systems for the Department of Energy has been pretty poor. I don't blame the Pentagon for deciding they probably need more bidders in the proposal phase.

    Logitech Introduces MX Brio, Its Most Advanced Webcam Designed for the Evolving Ways of Working and Streaming

    Whelp looks like I'll get the Dell webcam that has Windows Hello functionality. The sole reason I got the Brio 4K was for that feature. I don't understand why Logitech would think to ditch that feature when they're billing this as meant for business.

    AMD Hires Thomas Zacharia to Expand Strategic AI Relationships

    Holy crap. Didn't see that one coming from our former lab director.

    NVIDIA Accused of Acting as "GPU Cartel" and Controlling Supply

    Ya'll clearly didn't follow the moderator's instructions to stay on topic which is discussing whether Nvidia is acting like a cartel or not. The cartel actions are mostly in the enterprise environment and that's where the lion's share of the chips are going. I think AMD has a good shot at...

    AMD Tightly Regulating Prices of Successful Radeon RX 6750 GRE in China

    The legality of this news depends on what the sales contract is between AMD and the retail suppliers. They, AMD, may have a stipulation that a supplier agrees to sell at MSRP or a percentage above instead of discounting below that limit.

    NVIDIA Unveils "Eos" to Public - a Top Ten Supercomputer

    The actual procurement, install, and initial optimization prior to the Top500 run of Frontier took around 5 to 6 years. The project started in FY2016 and the install occurred in December 2021. The Top500 run was in May of 2022. The first design talks for an exascale supercomputer started at the...

    ASRock Dives Into Why it Lacks NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Cards; Doesn't Rule Out Making Them in the Future

    They easily could but that would mean sacrificing their much more lucrative enterprise business where margins are much better at 10 to 20% compared to the paltry couple of percentage points that is the consumer world. Considering that the H100 card is being sold anywhere from 30k USD to 40k USD...

    Financial Analyst Outs AMD Instinct MI300X "Projected" Pricing

    Nvidia is an equal opportunity gouger: both the government, the corporate world, and regular consumers get screwed over. Nvidia either didn't bid or lost out on the 3 exascale supercomputers (Frontier [ORNL], Aurora [ANL], and El Capitan [LLNL]) in the USA.

    Seasonic Unveils Cherry Blossom-Themed "Vertex Sakura" 1000 W Power Supply

    That's a sweet looking power supply. I actually really want this, but have a Prime Titanium series currently so this would be a downgrade for me.
