Benchmarks of an alleged eight-core Intel Core i7-12700 ‘Alder Lake’ processor have been added to Primate Labs’ Geekbench 5 database. The new chip could join the list of the best CPUs when it becomes available later this year, but if these results are any indication, it already demonstrates some promising results. If Geekbench 5’s readings are accurate,…
Western Digital is progressing with its talks to merge with Kioxia, its long-time production partner, a new media report claims. The deal could be valued at more than $20 billion and, if cleared by antitrust regulators, would create the world’s largest maker of 3D NAND with formidable manufacturing capacities and product design capabilities. The talks…
IonQ, a Maryland-based company with ties to the University of Duke and its Duke Quantum Center, has recently announced the development of a new, glass-based trapped-ion computing chip which replaces their previous works with silicon-based designs. This glass trap technology is based on etching micrometer-level-precision in fused silica glass, which will then contain the company’s…
If you’ve got long logs to read, you’ll need plenty of space to see everything without scrolling. That’s where this ridiculously long Raspberry Pi project comes in—affectionately dubbed the Long Log by its developer Bobricius. This isn’t the first project by Bobricius we’ve come across. We shared his Pico-powered doomsday communicator just earlier this year.…
AMD released the EPYC 7003-series (Milan) processors for data centers a little over a year ago. However, the chipmaker is reportedly preparing a Milan overhaul that features 3D die stacking. Hardware leakers ExecutableFix and Patrick Schur gave rise to the rumor that AMD will implement its X3D chip packaging technology with Milan-X. In terms of…
Update 8/25/2021 1:50 p.m. ET: A SteelSeries spokesperson told Tom’s Hardware that SteelSeries is “aware of the issue identified” and “proactively disabled the launch of the SteelSeries installer that is triggered when a new SteelSeries device is plugged in.” “This immediately removes the opportunity for an exploit, and we are working on a software update…
Even though Loongson claims that its latest 3A5000 and 3C5000 processors are based on its in-house developed proprietary architecture and no longer rely on the MIPS architecture, the code the company uses to enable the new CPUs in Linux is actually the same code it used for its MIPS-based chips. Furthermore, the CPU developer fails to demonstrate advantages of…
Famous overclocker Vince Lucido, known as Kingpin, shared another photograph of AMD’s upcoming X570 Dark motherboard on his Facebook page, stating the new board is a “Monster AMD OC” and left us hanging for more details. Of course, being a Dark board, it’s no surprise that this new AMD EVGA board will have some serious…
A software developer has created a webpage that allows to try out the Windows 11 interface without installing the new OS or waiting untill the first PCs with pre-installed Windows 11 hit the market later this year. Migrating to a new operating system always requires some effort. This is not a problem if you have…
