AMD announces RDNA 3 GPUs: all the details on the RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT

Image
 The new RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT, two Navi 31 generation GPUs based on RDNA 3 architecture, have finally been made public by AMD, allowing its newest generation high-end proposals to enter the dance. Therefore, AMD throws down the gauntlet to Nvidia, which recently unveiled the RTX 40 series GPUs, even though it appears that the announcements of the last few hours are only directly competing with the RTX 4080 and that the ultra-premium market covered by the RTX 4090 - which we tested in our tests - is still a ways off. RX 7900 XTX    But let's stop talking and find out what the first RDNA 3-based GPUs bring to the market since there are so many new developments under the hood, both in terms of power and architecture, that they could herald the start of a very specific generation.   ARRIVES RDNA 3 AND THE FIRST CHIPLET GPUs   So let's start from the RDNA 3 architecture, the heart not only of the new RX 7900 XTX and XT, but also of all the next GPUs of th...

New Nvidia cards are getting closer. We know the next details

Image
 Nvidia will likely release new GeForce RTX 40XX graphics cards later this year, starting with the RTX 4090. The most powerful GeForce RTX 4090 was supposed to be released in August, but Nvidia may delay it. Because Nvidia's partners have so many RTX 30XX systems. Nvidia The renegotiation of Nvidia's deal for new 5 nm cores from TSMC was a debacle. Only Nvidia's delivery delays will continue. Until recently, most was known about the flagship RTX-e 4090. Now, a Twitter user with the username Kopite7nymi discloses more facts, including the flagship core clock and the weaker RTX 4080 and 4070. The flagship will include 126 stream multiprocessors (SM) and 16,128 CUDA cores, based on the AD102 core. 384-bit bus will connect 24 GB of 21,000 MHz GDDR6X memory to the core. The base core clock will be 2235 MHz and can be increased to 2750 MHz, according to the latest leaks. This is a big improvement, given the current RTX 3090 turbo mode is set to 1695 MHz (not including proprietary...

NZXT N7 Z690 : Alder Lake motherboard on DDR4 to keep costs down

Image
 NZXT, a well-known manufacturer of heat-dissipation systems and cases, has been expanding its component lineup, particularly motherboards, for several years. The company manufactures mid- to high-end motherboards for Intel and AMD platforms. The new motherboard pairs the Intel Alder Lake-S platform with the Z690 chipset, as the abbreviation suggests. The new NXZT motherboard supports CPU and memory overclocking by incorporating all of the Intel Z690 chipset's additional features. It offers ample I / O capacity and features a fairly sober and linear design. One of the NZXT N7 Z690's unique features is that it supports DDR4 memory. It enables us to lower the overall cost of our build. This motherboard is based on a solution developed by ASRock, a company that has demonstrated for years that it can produce high-quality products. The NZXT N7 Z690 uses a white color for the dissipation system, as was predicted at the outset.We find a black PCB which makes the board quite pleasant. ...

Phishing scammers target Paypal customers

Image
 E-mails indicating a pressing need for action should be carefully examined and acted upon, because they are often phishing. Scammers are increasingly targeting Paypal users. Is my PayPal account being used to pay for gambling? But if I use this link to log into my PayPal account right now, I can still stop the payment! If the e-mail wasn't forged, one might think it was pure luck. The consumer protection portal "Watchlist Internet" warns anyone who is currently receiving one or similar e-mails not to believe the message and to never click on any links in it.  Criminals were behind the message, attempting to steal users' PayPal account login information as well as credit card information. To accomplish this, victims are redirected to a spoof Paypal page, which is reasonably convincing but can be identified by a strange web address if you pay attention. If you have any doubts about messages that suggest account blocking or suspicious transactions, simply log into the a...

Nvidia prevails to refresh the lowest segment. It will be GTX or GT 1630

Image
 The GeForce GTX 1650 is currently the most affordable Nvidia graphics card, although as some may recall, only the GTX 1050 Ti and GT 1030 were previously available (GT 730). It's worth mentioning that the GTX 1650 is now three years old, and the following two are even older, as they were released in 2016 and 2014, respectively. As a result, these systems are nearly obsolete, and it appears that Nvidia will replace them with a Turing-based system. Unfortunately, the Videocardz portal did not get any precise information on the system's specifications. However, it's safe to assume that the "new designs" will feature a more deeply chopped TU117 core, but keep in mind that the 1650 GTX was also made using TU116 or TU106 cores. Graphics card marked as GTX or possibly GT (GT was historically reserved for chips marked as XX40 or lower). Regardless of the prefix, the GTX or GT 1630 will be an even more cut core from the GTX 1650, probably paired with a maximum of 4 GB of...

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ would have been delayed until 2022's second half.

Image
Everything pointed to Qualcomm announcing its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ flagship processor in May, but a fresh rumour casts doubt on that prediction, claiming that the company's new chipset will only be available in the second half of the year due to issues with the location where it is made. The delay, according to leaker Digital Chat Station, is due to the COVID-19 lockdown in Zhengzhou, where Qualcomm's new chip is manufactured at TSMC's plant - and, by the way, where the massive Foxconn factory that makes the majority of the world's iPhones is located. This situation would have pushed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+ release date into the second half of this year, postponing the arrival of the anticipated flagships. According to the same source, Motorola, who has a solid relationship with Lenovo, might be the first manufacturer to release a smartphone featuring Qualcomm's new technology. The Motorola Edge 30 Ultra would be the first smartphone to include the Qualcomm Snapd...

Everything you need to know about DDR5

Image
 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two chann...

Do you want to delete your data from Google search?

 Google has expanded the scope of data that can be requested to be removed from a search engine to protect your privacy. Until now, it was mainly the removal of public login information for banks or payment card numbers, now the list of options is longer.

Google emphasizes that it is aware of the development of online activities, and therefore expands the list of data for which deletion can be requested (although, as a rule, this is contrary to the idea of ​​the search engine, which should give access to all information on the Internet). Google states that currently you can additionally ask, among others o  removing a publicly available telephone number, home address or e-mail address.
