NVIDIA’s Drive PX Platform Gains Support From Volvo & Autoliv
NVIDIA has been talking about autonomous driving for a number of years, ensuring automakers that its solution is the best one. Considering the fact that NVIDIA has also been hugely focused on deep-learning and artificial intelligence, and those things back up the smarts in Drive PX, it has a good case on…..
SPEC Releases CPU2017 Benchmarking Suite, Introduces 4 New Test Suites And OpenMP Support
In 2011, I wrote that we were adding SPEC’s CPU2006 to our processor testing suite, and I admit that at that time, I had assumed that the next major iteration of the benchmark would be right around the corner. Welp, I couldn’t have been more wrong, as its successor has just shown…..
AMD Announces Three Radeon Instinct Compute Cards Coming Q3 – Includes MI25, MI8 & MI6
While late last year was all the hype surrounding Zen and Polaris for AMD, this year, it’s EPYC, Threadripper, Vega, and now Instinct.

AMD Aims To Take Back Datacenter Marketshare With EPYC Platform & 7000 Series Processors
AMD’s 2017 so far has been action-packed, and we haven’t even entered the second-half of the year yet. Back in March, the company released its most ambitious desktop processor series in about a decade, called Ryzen. With it, AMD delivered incredible performance gains over its predecessor and suddenly became competitive with Intel…..

With Intel’s launch of Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X having just happened, we must ask: what’s next? As Jamie alluded to earlier, the beefiest Core X chips Intel has to offer will be coming out over the next couple of months, finishing off with the mammoth 18-core i9-7980XE at some point this fall…..
Intel Opens Pre-Orders On Core X-Series CPUs & X299 Motherboards
Back at Computex 2017, Intel unveiled its new Core X-Series processors, effectively the re-branded Extreme Edition processors that make up Intel’s high-performance platform of CPUs.

Dell To Be Exclusive OEM Provider Of AMD’s Threadripper For 2017
When news hit the web last week that Alienware’s Area-51 gaming PC would be packing AMD’s Threadripper processors, a rather important fact slipped under my radar: Dell is the exclusive OEM builder to have that privilege for the rest of 2017. That’s both good and bad. On one hand, AMD could use…..
After Four Years In The Making, AMD’s EPYC Server Processors Are Just Days Away From Launch
Note: We have preliminary coverage of the AMD press event, with some specific details about the EPYC CPUs and the platform in general. When AMD launched Ryzen earlier this year, the company pulled off what at times seemed impossible: it delivered on its promises. We knew from the get-go that Ryzen’s IPC…..
TG Tip: Put All Of Your Spotify Saved Albums In The Same Playlist To Ease Downloading To New Devices
It might sound like an antiquated idea, but in lieu of listening to a random assortment of tracks in a listening session, I prefer to toss on full albums, listening to them straight through. On the desktop, I use foobar2000 to listen to the FLAC rips I have, and then add the…..

Intel’s First Core X-series Processors Available For Preorder On June 19, Release Pegged For June 26
It’s interesting to see how E3 has changed over the years. It once used to revolve so heavily around consoles, that many PC gamers didn’t even bother tuning in. But today, hardware vendors have begun making announcements at the show. That includes NVIDIA, which announced that it’s bundling a copy of Destiny…..
The 4K Delusion: Xbox Chief Says PS4 Pro Best Compared To OG Xbox One
Hot on the heels of me explaining the reasons Microsoft’s new-fangled Xbox One X isn’t a “true 4K” system, Xbox chief Phil Spencer fires shots at Sony’s PlayStation 4 Pro, claiming the same thing. In my post, I surmised that it requires about 12 TFLOPS of GPU horsepower to earn the designation…..

It finally happened! A company figured out that a mouse mat can be used as a wireless power source for mice! OK, A little sensationalist since this has been in development for a while, but Logitech managed to crack this rather difficult nut with the Powerplay mouse pad. Untangling the mess that…..
Like Fast & The Furious? It Looks Like Need for Speed Payback Was Made For You
This November, the twenty-third title in the Need for Speed series will launch in the form of Payback. A handful of NFS titles in recent years have looked like, and in some cases, felt like, a Fast & the Furious game, and Payback pushes that to the limit. The entirety of the…..
Forza Horizon 3 Is A Perfect Example Of What A Cross Platform Game Should Be
I’ve been a fan of the Forza series since the second iteration was released almost exactly ten years ago (May 29, 2007, for the Xbox 360), and because I’m a big fan of open-world racing games (eg: Test Drive Unlimited 2, The Crew), I’ve found myself hugely drawn to the Forza Horizon sub-series…..

NVIDIA Kicks-off E3 2017 Contest And Wants To Give Away A Thousand GeForce GTX Flash Drives
This past April’s Fools’, NVIDIA touted its “GeForce GTX G-Assist” flash drive, and despite its ridiculous claims, fans salivated at the thought of owning one. The current design of top-end GTX graphics cards are cool enough, but shrunk down to the size of a flash drive? It’s downright adorable. NVIDIA’s heard your…..
Some Thoughts On Intel’s ‘Core X-Series’ Processor Branding
If it’s not obvious enough (somehow), we’re in the midst of an incredible time for processor tech. Remember when the first 1GHz chips hit the market? That was exciting. It was also exciting when we saw the world’s first dual-core chips. Fast-forward to right now, and it’s exciting because after a decade…..
Toppc Breaks DRAM Overclocking World Record After Pushing G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Module To DDR4-5500
Something that wasn’t hard to find at last week’s Computex event was super-fast RAM. It was all over the place, and what was there was downright impressive. I wrote last week about a cool showing at the Corsair suite, where I saw 8x16GB Vengeance modules running at a ridiculous DDR4-3800. For smaller kits…..
AMD Releases Radeon Pro 500 Series For Apple’s New All-in-one iMac
Apple’s latest iMacs are interesting in their own right, but what had me most intrigued about them is the fact that AMD once again managed to be the exclusive provider (aside from Intel IGP in the bottom models) of graphics cards. Standard iMacs, which begin at $1,099 USD for a 21.5″ configuration,…..

AMD’s Upcoming Threadripper CPUs & X399 Platform Use LGA Designs In Lieu Of PGA
Here’s something that went completely under my radar. At Computex last week, many vendors showed off their wares built around AMD’s upcoming Threadripper processors, based on the X399 platform. Unfortunately, a series of timing issues prevented me from getting a close hands-on look at an X399 motherboard, and that’s something I regret, because I’ve now learned that X399…..
