If you're in the market for a brand new CPU to power your gaming rig, or a spicy AM5 upgrade, then there are two great savings to be had right now on two of AMD's top gaming chips.
Right now at Amazon, you can score the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D for just $341, down from $449, a 24% saving . That's not quite the $
The European Union is the world's second-largest economy in terms of GDP, but when it comes to its place on the AI market, its position is by far not as strong. To catch up with the U.S. and China, the bloc is launching a $30 billion initiative to build a network of high-capacity data centers that can host millions of AI GPUs, reports CNBC . If successful, the EU will have gigawatt-class datacenters with performance
Admirers of the Minisforum N5 NAS setup don't have to go broke to get a taste of this hardware's sleek charm. Maker and developer Jack Harvest has created a 3D printable and budget-friendly mini version called the N5 Mini . In the spirit of the maker community, Harvest opted to make the project open source so anyone can create their own at home for free.
One of the coolest aspects of this N5 Mini design is its flexibility. There
A Redditor has demonstrated the ability of the recently launched ChatGPT agent to casually swat away a CAPTCHA , so that it can complete its assigned task(s). A couple of illustrative screenshots show the ChatGPT Agent handle, and commentate upon, dismissing Cloudflare’s ‘I am not a robot’ button (h/t Germany’s WinFuture ).
Hacking groups are continuing to launch cyberattacks on Russia as a show of solidarity with Ukraine—whose military intelligence agency reportedly conducted an operation of its own against Russia-occupied Crimea—as the conflict between the countries continues.
RBC-Ukraine reported that Ukraine "carried out a large-scale special operation targeting the occupation authorities in Crimea" that culminated in "a powerful DDoS attack [that] effectively paralyzed the information systems and network infrastructure in Crimea."
Although there are exceptions, like when
Nvidia’s China strategy is shifting once again. According to Reuters , the company has placed a fresh order for 300,000 H20 AI GPUs with TSMC, spurred by unexpectedly strong demand from Chinese tech giants. This move comes just weeks after the Trump administration reversed an April ban on the H20 , a China-specific chip designed to comply with U.S. export controls but still powerful enough to dominate AI inference workloads.
The
Australian researchers have developed a new quantum machine learning technique to generate new semiconductor designs in a move that could help improve the chip design process, according to LiveScience . The paper, published in Advanced Science , shows how encoding data in quantum states to search for patterns before using machine learning to analyze the results can generate new models that could improve chip design efficiency.
As the paper suggests, the modern design process for complicated processors and the semiconductors inside them is complex and requires
Edge computing specialist Aaeon has rolled out the tiny new PICO-MTU4-SEMI, which it claims to be the “world’s smallest Intel Core Ultra-powered Mini PC.” This Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor 125U-packing PC measures just 108 x 95 x 43mm (about 0.44 liters, 14.9 fl oz). Searching our archives for smaller Core Ultra PCs seems to support the compactness claims, with
