Intel has released version 2.0 of the open source OSPRay ray-tracing engine and comes with various improvements, Phoronix found out .
Intel describes OSPRay as an open, scalable, and portable (OSP) ray tracing engine for CPU rendering, geared towards scientific visualization applications. It supports ambient occlusion, shadows, global illumination with physically-based materials and volume rendering, and it can be run on large,
Even though it may feel like just yesterday that the Zen 2-powered chips in the Ryzen 3000-series processors came out, we're already catching plenty of wind that Zen 3 is well on its way, which shouldn't be all too surprising given that AMD does its best to maintain annual updates to its CPU lineup. Today, we caught a whiff of Zen 3 microcode being added to the Linux kernel, as spotted by hardware leaker Komachi .
The spotting
Back at CES a couple of weeks ago there was a Q&A session with AMD , where Gordon Ung from PC World asked: "Do you think that AMD has to have a high-end competitor in the discrete graphics market?" At the time, this was interpreted by many as a confirmation of a Big Navi GPU, but we felt that the phrasing of Lisa Su's answer was still too ambiguous. Now, AMD has published a 'The Bring Up' episode
Lag spikes can ruin competitive matches. Sometimes those performance issues result from technical errors, but according to Ubisoft, sometimes they're caused by distributed-denial of service (DDoS) attacks that intentionally target certain games.
Polygon reported on Friday that the company filed a lawsuit against the operators of a site, SNG.ONE, that conducts these DDoS attacks for its members. There are multiple ways to sign up: a $30 monthly pass and a one-time charge of $
ZDNet today reported that a hacker published the IP addresses, usernames and passwords used to access roughly 515,000 internet-connected devices via the Telnet protocol. That information could be used to remotely control the affected products.
The leaked credentials are said to belong to servers, routers and Internet of Things devices that exposed their Telnet port to the internet. Once the hacker found those devices, they either used the manufacturer's default account credentials or correctly guessed the username/
SK Hynix’s Gold S31 is a top SATA SSD pick. With performance figures of up to 560MBps, it trades blows with some of the best and is competitively priced.
SATA SSDs are a fast and reliable way to add more storage space and
Hardware detective @TUM_APISAK has given us a sneak peek of what the Radeon RX 5600 XT can do with the graphics card's newly acquired specifications.
In case you haven't heard, AMD released a new vBIOS for the Radeon RX 5600 XT four days before its launch that reportedly increases the graphics card's performance. In summary, the updated vBIOS bumps the Radeon RX 5600 XT'
Toshiba announced that a quantum computing-inspired algorithm could outperform other similar (combinatorial optimisation) algorithms running on supercomputers, but while using the resources of a single desktop computer.
Its creator Hayato Goto, a senior research scientist at Toshiba, called it the “Simulated Bifurcation Algorithm” after noticing how the qualities of certain complex systems can suddenly change after new inputs are added, creating a phenomenon called bifurcation. A combinatorial optimisation algorithm attempts to extract an approximate (good) solution out of a high
The Zotac GTX 1660 is a 1080p-capable card able to average 60 fps or more across most titles tested. The card is SFF-friendly and quiet under load but, the price is a bit high.
According to unnamed DigiTimes industry sources, AMD's expected to control a fifth of the laptop processor market by Q1 2020. One of the main reasons for laptop vendors switching to AMD processors is Intel’s perpetual CPU shortage, which laptop maker Compal reportedly expects to persist throughout 2020.
Notebook vendors are expecting Intel’s CPU shortages to reach their peak for the year in Q2 2020 and are stocking up on AMD’s chips
