If you want to vote in a poll on Twitter, you’re going to need to pony up money for Elon Musk. On Monday night, Musk took to the social media platform to announce that, starting on April 15th, users will need to be paying Twitter Blue subscribers in order to have the privilege of voting…
Nvidia recently scored a big win with its RTX 4070 Ti graphics card, which has me pretty optimistic about the future of Nvidia’s midrange offerings to come, but a new spec leak from a fairly reliable Twitter leaker has me seriously questioning what the company is thinking. For starters, it’s important to qualify spec leaks…
Intel has announced a price cut on its first-party edition of the Arc A750 graphics card, bringing the cost down to $249 from its $289 launch price – just four months after the card was released. It’s a bold move from Intel, which has yet to see significant traction gained in the GPU market by…
A prototype AMD graphics card has been spotted – purportedly a Navi 31 model, presumably the RX 7900 (we’ll come back to that point) – and it shows that the GPU will run with a pair of 8-pin power connectors. The image was aired on Twitter by hardware leaker HXL, who’s a regular contributor to…
After months of leaks and speculation, Intel has officially announced its 13th generation Intel Core desktop processors, and given us (and its rival AMD) a glimpse of what to expect. Formerly known as ‘Raptor Lake’, Intel’s 13th generation of processors will once again make use of Intel’s hybrid design, with a mix of Performance-cores and…
The Lovelace GPU series is finally here! Nvidia has finally shown us the goods, revealing the RTX 4090 and two versions of the RTX 4080 at this year’s GTC event, and now we’re getting a taste of all the variants offered by third-party GPU makers such as MSI, Asus, Zotac, and many more. So, to get…
Nvidia’s RTX 4080 graphics card may be a little more power-hungry than previously indicated, at least according to the latest nugget from the ever-spinning GPU rumor mill. VideoCardz (opens in new tab) spotted that Kopite7kimi, a prolific leaker on the Nvidia front, aired new specs on Twitter for the RTX 4080 from the next-gen Lovelace…
AMD has floated a broad prediction that graphics cards could reach power usage levels of 700W as we head towards 2025. Specifically, this comes from a recent interview with an AMD exec conducted by VentureBeat (opens in new tab), on the broad topic of AMD’s big push for energy efficiency, and its fresh goal of…
AMD has set a new record for its overall CPU market share (when it comes to x86 processors), despite a drop in the total sales of these chips. The CPU numbers for Q1 2022 were crunched by Mercury Research, which found that AMD reached an all-time high of a 27.7% market share in processors (with…
Nvidia’s RTX 3090 Ti, the supercharged Ampere flagship which recently went on sale, has been the subject of an interesting experiment to tame its power consumption – with the result that even when it’s seriously cut back by a third in terms of the wattage supplied, Team Green’s GPU still outdoes AMD’s current flagship. This…
