Leadtek has launched a GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card with a blower-style cooling shroud. It is the first Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 we have spotted with a blower cooler unearthed by Twitter user Zed Wang. This cooler style is sometimes frowned upon by PC gamers and enthusiasts, but they can have attractive qualities for small…
Out of necessity, the highest-performing workstation-grade laptops turned to Intel’s socketed CPUs to offer unbeatable performance for years. Apparently Intel will address that need head-on by rolling out new Alder Lake-HX processors with 16 cores and desktop PC-class performance. These CPUs will allegedly use Intel’s Alder Lase-S silicon in BGA packaging and have a TDP…
Nvidia has been promoting the advantages of its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) software for graphics improvement since the RTX 20-series launched back in 2018. The GPUs are some of the best graphics cards and the latest Ampere models rank at the top of our GPU benchmarks hierarchy. DLSS uses the embedded Tensor Cores available…
PNY has announced that its next-generation XLR8 Gaming DDR5-4800 memory kit will be ready for Intel’s 12th Generation Alder Lake processors. While we’ve already seen Alder Lake chips with DDR5-4800 benchmarks, this is the first time that a company has confirmed that Alder Lake will arrive with DDR5 support. The manufacturer stated in its press…
AMD appears to be working on an accelerated processing unit (APU) with a built-in graphics processor codenamed “Cyan Skillfish” and based on the first-generation RDNA architecture (Navi 1x). The APU will likely target various consumer, as well as embedded applications that can take advantage of a relatively modern GPU architecture. AMD engineers have submitted driver code that…
Noctua’s recently unveiled roadmap indicates that the company is working on coolers for Intel’s processors that use LGA4189 packaging. Given Noctua’s business, at least some of these coolers will probably be aimed at workstations powered by Intel’s Ice Lake-SP CPUs. The company also appears to be working on a desktop fan to cool down humans. The roadmap…
