For some very awkward reason, Intel has not posted a version of its Xe-LP graphics driver for its Rocket Lake processors on its website. The drivers are also not available from Intel's motherboard partners, which causes quite some confusion as this essentially renders the new Rocket Lake's Intel UHD Graphics featuring the Xe-LP architecture useless. However, there is a workaround for those who need it.
Intel's main angle with its Rocket Lake processors for desktops is gaming,
Shanghai Tianshu Intellectual Semiconductor Co. (Tianshu Zhixin) announced Wednesday that it's nearing "mass production and commercial delivery" of Big Island, China's first domestically produced 7nm general-purpose GPU (GPGPU).
Tianshu Zhixin said in January that BI was made using an unidentified 7nm process node and 2.5D chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) packaging. On Wednesday, it confirmed our suspicion that BI was made using TSMC'
How badly do people want a standalone graphics card even though modern integrated GPUs offer decent performance and media playback capabilities? Apparently a lot, as discrete GPU vendors are resurrecting their ancient entry-level products and returning them to store shelves.
CFD (via Hermitage Akihabara ), a store in Japan, has restarted selling Gigabyte's Nvidia GeForce GT 1030 (GV-N1030D4-2GL) graphics cards, which were originally launched in 20
Although Louqe’s Raw S1 lacks a few basic amenities, it’s a stunning display of ITX minimalism, design, and craftsmanship.
Intel's next-generation processor for mainstream and performance-mainstream client PCs due in 2021 is codenamed Alder Lake , and its first client CPU with a 7 nm compute tile set to launch in 2023 is called Meteor Lake. What Intel has not officially disclosed so far is the codename and features of its 2022 client platform. Except, it accidentally unveiled the Raptor Lake codename on Friday.
Along with the host of details concerning its DG2
The first benchmark (via Tum_Apisak ) of Intel's Iris Xe DG1 is out. The graphics card's performance is in the same ballpark as AMD's four-year-old Radeon RX 550 - at least in the Basemark GPU benchmark.
The DG1 comes in the shape of the Asus DG1-4G . It features a cut-down variant of the Iris Xe Max GPU, meaning the graphics cards
Shortages of graphics processing units and other components will persist through the end of the year, which is why GPU vendors are preparing to hike the prices of their products once again. For example, Asus reportedly intends to increase its prices for the second time this year.
Demand for graphics boards is increasing both because gamers want to play the latest titles and because of demand from cryptocurrency miners. Meanwhile, neither AMD nor Nvidia can increase the supply as their partners, TSMC and Samsung Foundry, are
Razer has been a loyal supporter of Team Blue, however, the tech giant may have finally bitten the bullet and joined up with Team Red. If the recently discovered 3DMark submissions (via _rogame ) are accurate, Razer will release the company's first ever AMD-powered gaming laptop in the near future.
The mysterious laptop emerged as the Razer PI411. There is speculation that the codename may allude to the Razer Blade 14, which
Customizing a matrix with a Raspberry Pi can be tricky, but Neythen Treloar's project changes that by making it possible to paint an image onto a matrix in real-time from any browser. This isn't the first time we've shared Neythen's work, we previously showcased his matrix-based video game project.
The new project is dubbed Pixel Paint and it's completely open-source for the community to use—the best Raspberry Pi projects usually are
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) published a report today detailing the, well, semiconductor industry's weaknesses as the entire world attempts to figure out how to respond to the ongoing chip shortage .
Many enthusiasts probably know the biggest issue: The semiconductor industry relies on many companies around the globe, but most operate within a very specific niche, giving them significant influence over their domain. This results in a supply chain that is both dangerously small and dazzlingly
