The world of single board computers (SBC) is dominated by the Raspberry Pi, but there are alternatives. The Orange Pi Zero2 is a $16 64-bit quad core Arm powered single board computer (SBC) and despite its diminutive size it has plenty of features. With enough power for multimedia, home servers and robotics projects using Ubuntu, Debian operating systems along with support for Android 10.
The best graphics cards need to compete not just on performance and price, but also on features. Now that the RX 6900 XT, RX 6800 XT, and RX 6800 are joining Nvidia in supporting ray tracing via hardware, we really want to know how they compare in performance. Who will take top honors in our GPU benchmarks hierarchy , and how will things change if we test with ray tracing enabled?
Apple has announced an event that's expected to be the culmination of the company's announcements this fall. Officially, Apple did not disclose what it plans to reveal, but considering the fact that the company has already unveiled its new smartphones, tablets, watches, and even a new smart speaker, it is highly likely that the company will reveal its first Macintosh computers based on its own system-on-chips.
The event will take place on Tuesday, November 10 at
Watch Dogs Legion came out this week, and we've been running some early benchmarks on some of the best graphics cards . It's still early, and performance may improve with patches and driver updates — with a PC patch supposedly landing today to at least somewhat improve things. In the meantime, even cards from the very top of our GPU benchmarks hierarchy can struggle. Thank goodness the game supports DLSS 2.1 for Nvidia's RTX cards, and you can try temporal
Because of its fast speeds, great value and strong power efficiency, Adata’s XPG SX8200 Pro remained at the top of our list of best SSDs for more than a year and was only recently dethroned by newer models. But the drive remains very popular and often goes on sale. However, the company recently changed the controller and NAND flash on at least some units, leading to potentially slower performance than we, and many consumers, experienced previously.
In a recent tweet , Raspberry Pi expert and enthusiast Jeff Geerling announced that after much work, he managed to get an Intel I340-T4 4x Gigabit NIC working with the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 using a Compute Module 4 I/O board.
After everything was said and done, Geerling was able to record a maximum performance throughput of 3.06 Gbps.
Connecting the hardware was easy enough but still came with a bit of a challenge The Compute
It seems that AMD can't hold its excitement for Big Navi . The chipmaker has just updated the Big Navi product page with new benchmarks for the Radeon RX 6900 XT, RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 for both 4K and 1440p resolutions.
AMD's gaming test suite has a good bit of variety with 10 different titles, including Battlefield V , Borderlands 3 , Call of
Intel's Xe-based discrete graphics cards are promised to come next year, and one of the included features will be ray tracing support. According to a Phoronix report this week , Intel is currently working on ray tracing driver development for the Xe HPG discrete gaming graphics cards.
Jason Ekstrand, as the lead developer of the new Linux and Vulkan-based ray tracing driver, has already posted the initial code to get ray tracing functioning in Intel's Xe GPUs. At the moment
