Computex is always one of the many highlights of our tech/gaming event lineup, however due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the health of our employees and tech community is our primary concern. With the evolving health concerns surrounding COVID-19, Patriot and Viper Gaming by Patriot will not be attending Computex this year. In the meantime we'll be working cautiously and are advising all employees to refrain from traveling during this time of stay-in-place solidarity.

We'd like to thank

Thursday we brought you a story of an improbable but ingenious cybersecurity attack vector called Air-ViBER , which uses fan vibrations to transmit data to a nearby listening device in an air-gapped environment. Another team of researchers, led by Mikhail Davidov and Baron Oldenburg, developed an equally ingenious but more insidious attack vector - rapid manipulation of clock speeds of an AMD Radeon Pro WX3100 GPU to turn it into a tunable radio transmitter; and ferrying data off as inaudible and invisible RF transmissions. The graphics card

AMD's Bulldozer architecture is a well-known quantity by now, and seemingly straddles a line between loathing and love between tech enthusiasts. Slow and power hungry compared to Intel's options, it harkens back to a time where the roles were reversed, and AMD were looking to compensate for architectural deficiencies (and architectural design decisions that can either be claimed as erroneous or ahead of their time) via increased clockspeeds. However you look at these Bulldozer CPUs, the fact is that they remain some of the best overclockers
