Since PCIe's inception in the early 2000s, the high-speed connectivity standard has been limited to 75 watts of peak power from the physical slot. This is enough to power some entry-level graphics cards from the physical slot alone, but most graphics cards require auxiliary power to get enough juice. However, Asus wants to change that — IT Home reports that the GPU maker has teased a new concept design allowing the PCIe slot to deliver a whopping 2
Nvidia CEO Huang says upcoming DGX Spark systems are powered by N1 silicon — confirms GB10 Superchip and N1/N1X SoCs are identical
Yesterday, Nvidia and Intel lifted the curtain on a historic collaboration that will see the two chipmakers jointly develop a myriad of CPU and GPU products. While future solutions like the "Intel x86 RTX SoC" were the focus of the announcement, some clarification was also shed on existing projects. Chief among these was Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang saying that the upcoming, long-rumored N1 SoC is essentially the same as the GB10 Superchip that's been out for a while
GeForce RTX 50-series GPUs are finally selling at and below MSRP — RTX 5070 dips below $549
The GeForce RTX 50 series (codenamed Blackwell) offers some of the best graphics cards you can find on the market today. It's great news that the prices for some of these Blackwell -based graphics cards have finally leveled out, making it easier for everyone to purchase them at or even below Nvidia's MSRP.
The GeForce RTX 5070 launched several months ago at an MSRP of $549; however, it has proven challenging for consumers to acquire
AMD silently launches RX 7700 non-XT with 16 GB VRAM — New RDNA 3 GPU uses nerfed Navi 32 die, offers reduced performance and increased power draw
If you thought RDNA 3 was done, think again, because AMD has just refreshed the lineup with a brand new SKU — the RX 7700 non-XT . Listed silently on its website without any announcement, the RX 7700 comes with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory saturated across a 256-bit bus, compared to the 7700 XT's relatively meager 12 GB (across 192-bit). AMD has
Intel says it remains committed to its Arc graphics project — 'Intel will continue to have GPU product offerings'
All talk in town right now is all about the Intel-Nvidia partnership , and a question on many minds is whether that means Intel might be scrapping its plans for upcoming Arc graphics cards or iGPUs. The company is attempting to assuage those fears, as one of its spokespeople told PCWorld , “We’re not discussing specific roadmaps at this time, but the collaboration is complementary to Intel’s roadmap and Intel will continue to have GPU product offerings."
Intel also reiterated that its
Researchers 3D print lightweight ceramic fuel cell — suggests alternative power source for the aerospace industry
The world of fuel cells just got a jolt thanks to researchers from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The team has been hard at work developing a new technology that could completely change the way we approach fuel cell manufacturing. The new process involves 3D printing and results in what the team refers to as the "Monolithic Gyroidal Solid Oxide Cell" (or just "The Monolith" for short). This work was reported by Interesting Engineering, along with a
I've been using Linux for a quarter of a century, so why do I keep coming back to Ubuntu?
It scares me to say this, but I have been using Linux for a quarter of a century! Long before the Raspberry Pi was my main hobby, installing Linux on a myriad of devices was my jam. From the early days, when an AMD K6-2 333 and 128MB RAM powered my initial exploration of the world of Unix and Linux, to today, which sees Linux running on my Ryzen 5600X system,
Nvidia wants 10Gbps HBM4 to blunt AMD’s MI450, report claims — company said to be pushing suppliers for more bandwidth
Nvidia is pressing its memory vendors to push beyond JEDEC’s official HBM4 baseline. According to TrendForce , the company has requested 10Gb/s-per-pin stacks for its 2026 Vera Rubin platform, a move designed to raise per-GPU bandwidth ahead of AMD’s next-generation MI450 Helios systems.
At 8Gb/s per pin — the rate JEDEC specifies for HBM4 — a single stack delivers just under 2 TB/

I have the most luxurious standing desk imaginable, but I can't quite bring myself to game while standing
For more than two-and-a-half years, I've been blessed to call the inimitable Secretlab Magnus Pro my main workspace. A colossal sit-stand desk, the hulking slab of metal comes with a nifty integrated sit-stand controller, two gargantuan legs, extensive cable management, and an eye-wateringly expensive magnetic ecosystem — the entire surface is magnetic, and can be used with a range of metal cable management devices, headphone stands, and cable sleeves. It
