DFI is a Taiwanese maker of embedded systems, and it looks like they're coming out with the smallest AMD Ryzen computer to date. The tiny PC is called the DFI GHF51 (product page here ), and measures just 84 mm by 55 mm, height not accounted for -- which is roughly the size of a Raspberry Pi . Considering this board's components, it could be quite the powerhouse in spite of its diminutive stature.

Leading Linux publication Phoronix has investigated the performance impact of mitigating the latest Load Value Injection (LVI) vulnerability on Intel processors.

Load Value Injection, which carries the CVE-2020-0551 identifier, allows the attacker to steal sensitive information from the victim by penetrating Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX). SGX essentially acts as a vault for storing important data. Both Intel and the researchers who exposed LVI have tagged the vulnerability as a theoretical threat,

Marvell's 7nm Thunder X3 server CPU will launch in 2020 with a whopping 96 cores and 384 threads. Marvell promises more than a 25% improvement in IPC and 3x the performance per socket compared to the previous-gen TX2. The chip one-ups Amazon’s Graviton2 that has 64 cores and Ampere’s Altra that comes with 80 cores.

AVX2 instruction set optimizations for Intel and AMD processors for the Linux 5.7's Netfilter framework promise to bring large performance improvements of over 5x.

According to Phoronix , the AVX2 support “works out well for optimizing the packet lookup routines of the Netfilter Pile Packet Policies”. In a benchmark test, packets were injected onto the in-going device path. The AMD EPYC 7402 (Rome) server was significantly faster, with improvements ranging

The best graphics card can mean a lot of things, but most gamers can't afford the fastest and most expensive option. That's why mid-range graphics cards like the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 exist, and why previous generation GPUs like the GTX 1060 and GTX 960 still occupy high positions on the Steam Hardware survey . The latest 'mid-range' cards may cost more than previous

The Xbox Series X announced its hardware specs earlier today, which included an upgrade from the Xbox One’s internal HDD to a new internal SSD, along with the option to add external SSDs on top of that for extra storage, portability, and even performance. However, to do that, you'll need to buy a special proprietary 1TB SSD. Otherwise, the only other external storage available will be USB hard drives for games from previous generations, and even then, you

AMD's third-generation Ryzen 3000 chips have been a smash hit. Now, the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X is seeing one of the best tech deals with its lowest ever price on Amazon. The CPU is currently selling for $80 off for a grand total of $418.89 .

This may the best chip for you in the Ryzen 3000 line-up. As noted in our Ryzen 9 39

Microsoft’s next-gen console, the bafflingly named Xbox Series X, is set to release later this year (if COVID-19 doesn’t get in the way ). This puts it in direct competition with the Sony PlayStation 5, which will also (supposedly) hit markets in time for the holiday. But with the PS4 and Xbox One already reaching a high standard of fidelity compared to previous consoles, gamers might be left wondering what could possibly be next.

Intel's alimony payments might be getting expensive. Storage news and analysis site Blocks & Files today reported that Intel will have to pay more for Optane memory chips because a new supply deal with Micron, its former business partner, went into effect on March 7.

Intel and Micron worked together on 3D XPoint via the IM Flash Technologies joint venture. The partnership started to falter in late 2018, however, and Micron said in 2019
