YMTC Spent 7 Billion US Dollars to Overcome US Sanctions, Now Plans Another Investment
Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp (YMTC), China's biggest NAND flash memory manufacturer, has successfully raised billions of US Dollars in new capital to adapt to challenging US restrictions. According to the report from Financial Times, YMTC, which was added to a trade blacklist in December and barred from procuring US equipment to manufacture chips, exceeded its funding target. However, the exact amount remains undisclosed. The capital increase became necessary due to YMTC's substantial spending on finding alternative equipment and developing new components and core chipmaking tools. This financing round was oversubscribed by domestic investors, reflecting support for YMTC amid tightening US restrictions.

Last year, YMTC managed to raise 50 billion Chinese Yuan or about 7 billion US Dollars for equipment. Spending it all on the supply chain, the company is now looking to bolster its offerings with additional equipment for its memory facilities. One of the investors in the funding rally for YMTC has made a statement for Finanical Times: "If Chinese companies have equipment that can be used, [YMTC] will use it. If not, it will see if countries other than the US can sell to it. If that doesn't work, YMTC will develop it together with the supplier." This statement indicates that the company is looking into several options, where one is simply developing its custom machinery with the suppliers.https://tpucdn.com/img/11RVhJl6t6AcAxA5_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/11RVhJl6t6AcAxA5.jpg)

Samsung Said to be Increasing NAND Pricing by 20% Per Quarter
If you've been putting off purchasing that shiny new SSD, you might want to consider doing it before the end of the year, especially if you've been eyeing a model from Samsung, as the company will reportedly be increasing the pricing of its NAND flash starting now. NAND flash might have hit rock bottom, with all major manufacturers except possibly YMTC having cut production to try to push up pricing, but so far, nothing appears to have worked. Despite this, reports coming out of Taiwan's UDN News via TrendForce are suggesting that Samsung is getting ready to hike the price of its NAND flash products by 20 percent per quarter until the middle of 2024.

Admittedly this only gives Samsung about two and a half quarters to increase the pricing, but that's potentially three increases of 20 percent per increase. Samsung has reportedly already increased its NAND wafer prices by 10 to 20 percent this quarter, which according to TrendForce has had a knock on effect on enterprise SSD pricing, which has increased by five to 10 percent already. TrendForce is forecasting a consumer SSD price increase of eight to 13 percent before the end of the year, which might not seem like much, but if the pricing increases for another couple of quarters, we could be looking at 30 to 40 percent more expensive SSDs in the not too distant future. As such, it's going to be worth keeping an eye on SSD pricing, as it's likely that Samsung's competitors will follow suit and increase their NAND pricing as well, which will affect the broader market.https://tpucdn.com/img/PnashQRDJdb3pom1_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/PnashQRDJdb3pom1.jpg)

Intel Itanium Reaches End of the Road with Linux Kernel Stopping Updates
Today marks the end of support for Itanium's IA-64 architecture in the Linux kernel's 6.7 update—a significant milestone in the winding-down saga of Intel Itanium. Itanium, initially Intel's ambitious venture into 64-bit computing, faced challenges and struggled throughout its existence. It was jointly developed by Intel and HP but encountered delays and lacked compatibility with x86 software, a significant obstacle to its adoption. When AMD introduced x86-64 (AMD64) for its Opteron CPUs, which could run x86 software natively, Intel was compelled to update Xeon, based on x86-64 technology, leaving Itanium to fade into the background.

Despite ongoing efforts to sustain Itanium, it no longer received annual CPU product updates, and the last update came in 2017. The removal of IA-64 support in the Linux kernel will have a substantial impact since Linux is an essential operating system for Itanium CPUs. Without ongoing updates, the usability of Itanium servers will inevitably decline, pushing the (few) remaining Itanium users to migrate to alternative solutions, which are most likely looking to modernize their product stack.https://tpucdn.com/img/lqhG4i3G4Zc1qeVK_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lqhG4i3G4Zc1qeVK.jpg)

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution Could Come to Samsung and Qualcomm SoCs
AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is an open-source resolution upscaling technology that takes lower-resolution input and uses super-resolution temporal upscaling technology, frame generation using AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) technology, and built-in latency reduction technology to provide greater-resolution output images from lower-resolution settings. While the technology is open-source, it battles in market share with NVIDIA and the company's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). However, in the mobile space, there hasn't been much talk about implementing upscaling technology up until now. According to a popular leaker @Tech_Reve on X/Twitter, we have information that AMD is collaborating with Samsung and Qualcomm to standardize on upscaling technology implementations in mobile SoCs.

Not only does the leak imply that the AMD FSR technology will be used in Samsung's upcoming Exynos SoC, but some AMD ray tracing will be present as well. The leaker has mentioned Qualcomm, which means that future iterations of Snapdragon are up to adopt the FSR algorithmic approach to resolution upscaling. We will see how and when, but with mobile games growing in size and demand, FSR could come in handy to provide mobile gamers with a better experience. Primarily, this targets Android devices, which Qualcomm supplies, where Apple's iPhone recently announced MetalFX Upscaling technology with an A17 Pro chip.https://tpucdn.com/img/c1iWGnTe0bkiWMQc_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/c1iWGnTe0bkiWMQc.jpg)

Alibaba Readies PCIe 5.0 SSD Controller Based on RISC-V ISA
Alibaba's T-Head unit, responsible for the design and development of in-house IC design, has announced the first domestic SSD controller based on the PCIe 5.0 specification standard. Called the Zhenyue 510, the SSD controller is aimed at enterprise SSD offerings. Interestingly, the Zhenyue 510 is powered by T-Head's custom Xuantie C910 cores based on RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA). Supporting the PCIe 5.0 standard for interfacing, the SSD controller uses DDR5 memory as a cache buffer. Regarding the performance, there are no official figures yet, but the company claims to have 30% lower input/output latencies compared to competing offerings. T-Head claims the SSD has an IO processing capability of "3400 Kilo IOs per second, a data bandwidth of 14 Gbytes/s, and an extremely high energy efficiency of 420 Kilo IO per second for every Watt".

This is an essential step towards Chinese self-sufficiency as T-Head has designed various ICs for processing different tasks. Still, now Alibaba's chip design unit has a domestic design for storage as well. Claiming low latency figures, the Zhenyue 510 is suitable for enterprise workloads like big data analysis, as well as AI inference/training systems workloads. The development of Zhenyue 510 started in 1H 2021, and it took the company more than two years to complete the design and validation of the chip to prepare it for deployment. This is the second Chinese-made SSD controller after Yingren Technology (InnoGrit) announced their chip (https://www.techpowerup.com/314203/chinas-first-pcie-5-0-ssd-controller-from-innogrit-enters-mass-production) in September.https://tpucdn.com/img/9aWp21Txl0Lo45jY_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9aWp21Txl0Lo45jY.jpg)

Steam Deck Works with Solidigm's 61.44 TB Enterprise SSD
With a simple mod, Storage Review got a Valve Steam Deck handheld gaming console to work with the world's highest capacity SSD, the mammoth 61.44 TB variant of the Solidigm D5-P5336. At its core, the Steam Deck is a highly compacted x86-64 PC powered by an AMD Ryzen mobile processor that features an industry standard PCIe interface, which it uses for an onboard M.2-2230 NVMe SSD. Storage Review used a simple adapter that converts M.2 to U.2—the interface of the D5-P5336—and the Steam Deck just worked.

Out of the box, the Steam Deck uses Valve's SteamOS, although it's fairly straightforward to install Windows, and get the Steam application to present its user interface (with which you can play just about any Windows PC game that's not yet available on SteamOS). A quick benchmark with KDiskMark (the Linux analog of CDM) sees the D5-P5336 post sequential read speeds of 3.6 GB/s, with 2.8 GB/s sequential writes. There's a catch here, though. It's not practical to lug the D5-P5336 along with your Steam Deck, the Solidigm drive is designed for servers, and besides the U.2 connection, requires a power input that a U.2 enclosure can provide.https://tpucdn.com/img/BAHAK1kttnyezFov_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/BAHAK1kttnyezFov.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/566G0VOJuEFUnN83_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/566G0VOJuEFUnN83.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/pgmHCG7qVOmuMscD_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pgmHCG7qVOmuMscD.jpg)

(PR) Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred Expansion Announced at BlizzCon 2023
On November 3, Diablo general manager Rod Ferguson and production directors Tiffany Wat and Chris Wilson took the stage at BlizzCon's opening ceremony to recap the plethora of quality-of-life updates released for Diablo IV since Season of Blood began on October 17, and to provide a glimpse at the fiendish adventures coming to Diablo IV. For our first Expansion, you'll be taken somewhere more sinister than ever before—a place where hatred's influence continues to strangle Sanctuary into submission…

Vessel of Hatred continues the grim tale that began in Diablo IV, as you learn the fate of the prime evil Mephisto and his demonic plans for Sanctuary. To do that, you'll be visiting a region new to Diablo IV, known by the locals as Nahantu. With this continuation of the campaign's story comes new ways to play, new evils to vanquish, and a brand-new Class never before seen in the Diablo universe. Vessel of Hatred releases late next year, and we can't wait to share more about it with you next summer.https://tpucdn.com/img/AReE2XpIlL7bEHZO_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/AReE2XpIlL7bEHZO.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/Pd92KhXylQNh7psH_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Pd92KhXylQNh7psH.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/PGT2Uhw2EVgKpEhf_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/PGT2Uhw2EVgKpEhf.jpg)

(PR) Blizzard Announces World of Warcraft: The War Within Expansion
Today at BlizzCon 2023, Blizzard Entertainment announced The Worldsoul Saga, featuring three upcoming expansions for the critically acclaimed massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft. Players will begin their adventure deep beneath the surface in the World of Warcraft: The War Within expansion, slated for release in 2024. World of Warcraft: Midnight and World of Warcraft: The Last Titan will round out a three-part saga that calls players home to save Azeroth.

"Beginning with The War Within, The Worldsoul Saga is grown from the seeds of what captured the hearts of players around the world when they first set foot in Azeroth," said World of Warcraft executive producer Holly Longdale. "For veteran players, the last 20 years have led to this, and for those who have never set foot in Azeroth, this is a whole new adventure."https://tpucdn.com/img/MKAEFkjjnlTrj2k9_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/MKAEFkjjnlTrj2k9.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/pRHtVZKaFDmNtUkh_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pRHtVZKaFDmNtUkh.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/kxXcpUB9Z6irVQCO_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/kxXcpUB9Z6irVQCO.jpg)

ASML to Add 600 DUV Machines to China's Semiconductor Manufacturing Capacity by 2025
Thanks to the TMTPost interview with the Global Vice President and China President of ASML, Shen Bo, the Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer has revealed that around 1,400 of its deep ultraviolet (DUV) lithography and metrology machines are currently installed in China. The company is expected to achieve a global output of 600 DUV equipment units by the end of 2025. Shen Bo stated that the company aims to install 500-600 units of DUV machinery in China by late 2025 or early 2026. The growth in ASML's Chinese revenues was notably high, with China contributing 46% of the company's system sales in 3Q 2023, representing an 82% revenue increase from the previous quarter.

China plans to build 25 12-inch wafer fabs in the next five years, covering logic wafers, DRAM, and MEMS production. ASML currently has a substantial presence in China, with 16 offices, 12 warehouses, distribution centers, development centers, training centers, and maintenance centers. The company employs over 1,600 people for its China operations. Despite the export restrictions imposed by the US government, ASML anticipates that the new measures will have little impact on its financial outlook for 2023 as it strives to meet the growing demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment in the global market.https://tpucdn.com/img/DMd2BjqaE56j8wo2_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DMd2BjqaE56j8wo2.jpg)

TechPowerUp Selects PNY as Graphics Card Provider for Review Test Systems
TechPowerUp is proud to announce a partnership with PNY, in which PNY XLR8 GeForce RTX graphics cards will power the hardware review test benches featured throughout the site. With a rich history as a key graphics vendor for professionals, PNY has established a longstanding partnership with NVIDIA, serving as a provider of high-end graphics cards and datacenter GPUs. They are also providing memory solutions for professional photographers and creators. More recently the company specialized into gaming graphics with its XLR8 GeForce graphics card series. Over the past two generations, the company has taken product design and development for these cards completely in-house, ensuring that gamers receive top-quality products.

The latest generation of PNY XLR8 GeForce RTX 40-series graphics cards have been extensively tested by TechPowerUp (https://www.techpowerup.com/review/#pny), showcasing exceptional noise levels, low cooler temperatures, ample overclocking potential, efficient power management, and outstanding overall performance. We were so impressed by our first PNY RTX 40-series graphics cards, especially their fan-tuning and thermals, that we decided to incorporate PNY graphics cards as the baseline for our review test beds across the site. Our partnership with PNY will see various models of PNY XLR8 GeForce RTX graphics cards form the VGA component of the test benches, across our review test setups for CPUs, motherboards, cases, memory, SSDs, CPU coolers, and more. However, it's important to note that for graphics card reviews, the baseline values continue to be obtained from reference design graphics cards.https://tpucdn.com/img/Inrl7V4dEtEJEHer_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Inrl7V4dEtEJEHer.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/joyvCzyP6vrirSCw_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/joyvCzyP6vrirSCw.jpg)

Update 19:31 UTC: Just to clarify, this will not affect our review scoring in any way. We will continue to test AMD-based graphics cards, we will test GPUs from other manufacturers, and we will review every product in the same exact same way like we've done in the past 20 years. We simply needed a bunch of graphics cards for the test systems listed, and PNY was willing to provide them.

Intel Readies Xeon W-2500 Series with 4-channel Memory to Square Off Against Threadripper 7000
The HEDT/workstation segment is heating up, with Intel preparing to launch a new line of low(er) core-count processor models with I/O features competitive to those of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 series for the AMD TRX50 platform. The new W-2500 series is designed for the same Intel W790 chipset Socket LGA4677 motherboards as the W-2400 series, but with increased CPU core-counts across the board. The top W-2500 series processor model comes with a 26-core/52-thread core-configuration, 2 MB of dedicated L2 cache per core, and 48.75 MB of shared L3 cache.

Where the Intel Xeon W-2500 series aces over the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 (TRX50), is the platform I/O. While both processors offer a 4-channel DDR5 interface, the Intel chip offers a 64-lane PCI-Express Gen 5 root complex, in comparison to the 48-lane PCIe Gen 5 root complex from the processor. The TRX50 platform itself adds up to 88 PCIe lanes, but only 48 of these are Gen 5. The W-2500 series includes seven processor models, with the lowest model giving you 8-core/16-thread, and the highest one being 26-core/52-thread. Here the Threadripper 7000 TRX50 has a distinct advantage, as it offers core counts of up to 64-core/128-thread.https://tpucdn.com/img/xebjuMq4QMo1jZZk_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/xebjuMq4QMo1jZZk.jpg)

(PR) Texas Instruments Breaks Ground on New 300-mm Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication Plant in Utah
Texas Instruments (TI) today broke ground on its new 300-mm semiconductor wafer fabrication plant (or "fab") in Lehi, Utah. Joined by Utah Governor Spencer Cox, state and local elected officials, as well as community leaders, TI President and Chief Executive Officer Haviv Ilan celebrated the first steps toward construction of the new fab, LFAB2, which will connect to the company's existing 300-mm wafer fab in Lehi. Once completed, TI's two Utah fabs will manufacture tens of millions of analog and embedded processing chips every day at full production.

"Today we take an important step in our company's journey to expand our manufacturing footprint in Utah. This new fab is part of our long-term, 300-mm manufacturing roadmap to build the capacity our customers will need for decades to come," said Ilan. "At TI, our passion is to create a better world by making electronics more affordable through semiconductors. We are proud to be a growing member of the Utah community, and to manufacture analog and embedded processing semiconductors that are vital for nearly every type of electronic system today."https://tpucdn.com/img/kBlFTKBvJK5brGHX_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/kBlFTKBvJK5brGHX.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/aMtjeQ1OZ94A47FB_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/aMtjeQ1OZ94A47FB.jpg)

(PR) Rebound in Mini LED Product Shipments to 13.79 Million Units in 2024, Continued Growth Expected Until 2027
TrendForce's "2024 New Mini LED BLU Display Trend Analysis" report reveals that due to declining demand in consumer electronics, shipments of Mini LED products are expected to decrease to 13.337 million units in 2023. However, the market is projected to rebound in 2024, with shipments estimated at 13.792 million units, and the growth trend is expected to continue through 2027. This decline is part of a larger trend of decreasing prices for Mini LED products, setting the stage for sustained growth in shipments. The report predicts that by 2027, shipments could reach as high as 31.453 million units, with a CAGR of approximately 23.9% from 2023 to 2027.

In the television sector, despite the robust increase in LCD panel prices and the continued high depreciation costs of OLED products, Mini LED component prices are on a downward trend. Now, apart from the relatively small-scale and still early-stage glass-based Mini LEDs, the costs of various other Mini LED TV panels are lower than those of White OLED and QD OLED. Thus, TrendForce maintains that Mini LEDs remain the most effective and optimal solution for enhancing contrast. Against this backdrop, the forecast for Mini LED TVs is positive, with an expected continuous growth in shipment volumes. Shipments are projected to reach 6.21 million units by 2024, marking a 53.5% YoY increase. Moving forward to 2027, shipment volumes are projected to hit 24.4 million units, capturing roughly 12.1% of the overall TV market. The CAGR for this segment from 2023 to 2027 is projected to be around 56.7%.https://tpucdn.com/img/OrxO2Qhk9pVVZMlu_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/OrxO2Qhk9pVVZMlu.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/vRgAsI0ZFWbervi1_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/vRgAsI0ZFWbervi1.jpg)

The Lian Li Uni Fan SL120 V2 RGB, is now available with reverse blades. Taking the successes of its predecessor, Lian Li have refined the Uni Fan SL120 V2 to offer improved performance and aesthetics. The UNI Fan SL120 V2 Reverse has been redesigned with performance in mind. The 28 mm thick fan frame offers a 10% performance boost, providing airflow of 65.4CFM and air pressure of 2.19mmH2O for great cooling potential. Crafted from polycarbonate, PBT plastic and aluminium, the SL V2 reverse can reach speeds of up to 2000RPM. However, thanks to fully hydraulic bearings, and rubber pads, the high performance of the UNI Fan SL120 V2 is whisper quiet at just 32 dB(A).

The UNI Fan SL120 V2 Reverse continues to utilise cableless connectivity with Lian Li's popular interlocking design of previous UNI Fans. The daisy chain design allows up to six fans to be controlled via a single motherboard header. This can be achieved with two clusters of three fans linked via a single bridging cable and then controlled through Lian Li's L-Connect 3 software.https://tpucdn.com/img/KMkVAPXhVUtawrVu_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KMkVAPXhVUtawrVu.jpg)

(PR) Global SSD Shipments Down 10.7% YoY to 114 Million Units in 2022
TrendForce has issued its latest findings, indicating that the global SSD market has rectified its supply and demand dynamics in 2022, following a resolution in the shortage of master control ICs that had hampered the market in 2021. Despite the normalization of supply, global SSD shipments witnessed a decline, with only 114 million units shipped in 2022—a 10.7% decrease from the prior year.

The top three SSD shipment leaders of 2022 were Kingston, ADATA, and Lexar, with Kingston and ADATA maintaining solid advantages and experiencing growth in market share over 2021. Lexar's growth was attributed to an aggressive push for revenue in anticipation of going public. Kimtigo, in 2022, made significant strides in expanding into industrial control and OEM markets, which in turn boosted its shipment volume and market share. Netac maintained its competitive edge in the SSD market alongside securing several government orders in the enterprise SSD sector, keeping its market share and ranking consistent with the previous year.https://tpucdn.com/img/hFwQwi11Bcc8Wqtk_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/hFwQwi11Bcc8Wqtk.jpg)

(PR) EK Intros Pro Series Preformed Reinforced Tubing For Hard to Reach Components
EK, the leading computer cooling solutions provider, is expanding its soft tubing portfolio with a new tubing option from the EK Pro line. The latest product, EK-Pro Tubing 10/17 mm Reinforced EPDM Preformed 45°/90° - Black, as the name suggests, is a water-cooling tube made of reinforced EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber. While EPDM tubing is generally soft, this solution is reinforced with nylon to form a semi-hard tube with one 45 and one 90-degree angle. It is excellent for locations that aren't easily accessible, where a sharp bend would likely create a kink in regular tubing. It comes with a plastic insert and clamps to secure an inter-tube connection.

EK-Pro Tubing 10/17 mm Reinforced EPDM Preformed 45°/90°
This durable matte black tubing is designed to withstand harsh conditions for very long periods. It offers an exceptional lifespan as it can resist UV, ozone, and heat exposure for many years, while its thick rubber walls prevent the coolant from evaporating. Special nylon reinforces the tube wall, preventing kinks and allowing the preformed angle shape. It can be cut if only a piece of it will be used, depending on user requirements.https://tpucdn.com/img/kP8l5wfbxfTGVGbC_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/kP8l5wfbxfTGVGbC.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/e5BYOJo5kSkgvgtA_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/e5BYOJo5kSkgvgtA.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/9EaxfWtmXUefYluH_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9EaxfWtmXUefYluH.jpg)

Noctua today expanded its chromax.black line with all-black versions of the award-winning NH-D9L and NH-L9x65 CPU coolers: Staying true to the successful formula of the original models, the new chromax.black versions with their black fans and black coated heatsinks combine the same signature quiet cooling performance with a sleek stealth look. "Many users who build Small Form Factor systems value build-aesthetics just as much as performance and quietness of operation", says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "Our NH-D9L and NH-L9x65 are highly popular among Small Form Factor builders, so we're excited to introduce them in all-black chromax versions!"

The new NH-D9L chromax.black and NH-L9x65 chromax.black are identical to the award-winning regular models except for the colour: Featuring black coated heatsinks, black fans with black anti-vibration-pads, black fan clips and black mounting parts, they are literally black from head to toe. Thanks to thoroughgoing optimisations of the coating material and process, the chromax.black models provide the same, renowned quiet cooling performance as their regular, non-coated counterparts.https://tpucdn.com/img/mx1rKlLmwvp6qmmo_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mx1rKlLmwvp6qmmo.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/4BqIPSiaheFiH58P_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/4BqIPSiaheFiH58P.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/7Iu0JTkqXDfJzqUz_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/7Iu0JTkqXDfJzqUz.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/g9doaWtNDkFSolrl_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/g9doaWtNDkFSolrl.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/DeG4CjGIuflbMSvY_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DeG4CjGIuflbMSvY.jpg)

Intel "Emerald Rapids" 8592+ and 8558U Xeon CPUs with 64C and 48C Configurations Spotted
Intel's next-generation Emerald Rapids Xeon lineup is just around the corner, and we are now receiving more leaks as the launch nears. Today, we get to see leaks of two models: a 64-core Xeon 8592+ Platinum and a 48-core Xeon 8558U processor. First is the Xeon 8592+ Platinum, which is possibly Intel's top-end design with 64 cores and 128 threads. Running at the base frequency of 1.9 GHz, the CPU can boost up to 3.9 GHz. This SKU carries 488 MB of total cache, where 120 MB is dedicated to L2 and 320 MB is there for L3. With a TDP of 350 Watts, the CPU can even be adjusted to 420 Watts.

Next up, we have the Xeon 8558U processor, which has been spotted in Geekbench. The Xeon 8558U is a 48-core, 96-threaded CPU with a 2.0 GHz base clock whose boost frequency has yet to be shown or enabled, likely because it is an engineering sample. It carries 96 MB of L2 cache and 260 MB of L3 cache, making for a total of 356 MB of cache (which includes L1D and L1I as well). Both of these SKUs should launch with the remaining models in the Emerald Rapids family, dubbed 5th generation Xeon Scalable, on December 14 this year.https://tpucdn.com/img/X9wD8E0u3AyJVy95_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/X9wD8E0u3AyJVy95.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/fcX8WRJxG7yNtSis_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fcX8WRJxG7yNtSis.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/ZV5CgGafDsZN2DcE_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ZV5CgGafDsZN2DcE.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/v8CZQaK9ZNPWIEAq_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/v8CZQaK9ZNPWIEAq.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/85xkQWzM5EYlnqW4_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/85xkQWzM5EYlnqW4.jpg)

NVIDIA Plans 2024 CES (January) Launch for RTX 40-series SUPER?
NVIDIA is reportedly planning to time the launch of its GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER line of graphics cards with the 2024 International CES, scheduled for January. This is according to kopite7kimi, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks. The company tends to plan special GeForce RTX gaming events along the sidelines of big trade-shows for new product launches.

The mid-life refresh of the RTX 40-series "Ada" will see the introduction of three new enthusiast-segment graphics card models without disturbing RTX 4090 as the series flagship. In the higher end of things, the company is planning to launch the RTX 4080 SUPER, which could push the performance envelope further above that of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX, and possibly prepare for the upcoming RX 7950 XTX. The unusually named RTX 4070 Ti SUPER could be designed to consolidate at the $800 price-point against the RX 7900 XT. The new RTX 4070 SUPER, meanwhile, could be designed to fix the company's standing at the $600 mark by beating the RX 7800 XT.https://tpucdn.com/img/rEIt1HZkHujKWz2t_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/rEIt1HZkHujKWz2t.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/5MZk544fQU8pr7yl_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5MZk544fQU8pr7yl.jpg)
Update 05:29 UTC: MEGAsizeGPU revealed the retail branding inserts for boxes, for the RTX 40-series SUPER family. NVIDIA has changed the SUPER logo, replacing a stylized typeface with the same bland sans-serif typeface it uses for the main GeForce RTX branding. It even confirms the existence of the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (two brand extensions clumped together).

ASRock Begins Rolling Out AGESA 1.1.0.0 Firmware with Phoenix APU Support
ASRock began rolling out UEFI firmware updates for its Socket AM5 motherboards that encapsulate AMD AGESA 1.1.0.0 ComboAM5PI microcode. This would be the second release of AGESA to support AMD's upcoming Ryzen 7000G "Phoenix" and "Phoenix 2" desktop APUs that the company reportedly plans to launch later this year. The AGESA 1.1.0.0 microcode comes with the SMU version 76.72.0 for "Phoenix" and "Phoenix 2," and continues with version 84.79.223 for "Raphael" and "Raphael-X" processors.

Unlike several past generations of Ryzen branded desktop APUs that only had 2-3 processor models in the retail channel, AMD is reportedly planning a slightly bigger lineup of APUs for the Socket AM5 platform, consisting of Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, and possibly Ryzen 7 processor models, and their Ryzen PRO variants. The Ryzen 3 and Ryzen 5 models are expected to be based on the "Phoenix 2" silicon that has a combination of two "Zen 4" and four "Zen 4c" CPU cores and an iGPU with 4 compute units; while it is rumored that at least one Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 processor model will be built on "Phoenix," which has up to eight "Zen 4" cores, and a large iGPU with up to 12 compute units. So far we haven't seen reports of AMD bringing Ryzen AI to the desktop platform.https://tpucdn.com/img/cs3IR07hVvgGzqa1_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cs3IR07hVvgGzqa1.jpg)

AMD Releases Preview Driver for FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames
AMD late Thursday released the latest version of the Special Preview Driver that lets you experience FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames (version: 23.30.01.03), the AMD technology designed to rival NVIDIA's DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The driver is off-branch, and works with Radeon RX 6000 series, and RX 7000 series; but Fluid Motion Frames (FMF) technology is designed to be as cross-platform as FSR 2. For now, FMF is designed to work with DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 applications, on Radeon RX 7000 RDNA3 and RX 6000 RDNA2 GPUs. The November 9th update improves stability with task-switching between an application that has FMF enabled, and one that doesn't; and a number of intermittent driver crashes and bugs with the display of metrics.

Valve Updates the Steam Deck with OLED Display, Overhauled Internals
Valve has announced an updated version of the Steam Deck and the headline feature is the new 7.4-inch OLED display. That's a mere 0.4-inches bigger than the original Steam Deck LCD display and it retains the same 1280 x 800 resolution. However, everything else related to the display has been improved and the refresh rate is now 90 Hz rather than 60 Hz. The display is also a lot brighter, with an SDR rating of 600 nits and an HDR rating of 1000 nits. Valve also claims a 110 percent P3 colour gamut, a one million to one contrast ratio and a sub 0.1 ms response time. On top of that, Valve has added what the company calls "high performance touch" which is said to improve the responsiveness of the display.

It's not just the display that has been improved, as Valve has moved to a 6 nm AMD Zen 2 based SoC which seems to allow the GPU to run at 1.6 GHz at all times, as Valve no longer lists a frequency range for the GPU. The power envelope remains the same though, with a range of 4-15 Watts. Paired with the new SoC is faster LPDDR5 memory at 6400 MT/s, up from 5500 MT/s, which should provide a small boost in gaming performance. An improved cooling solution is also part of the package, which is also likely a reason for the more constant GPU clocks. Gone are the entry level storage SKUs and the OLED version of the Steam Deck only comes with 512 GB or 1 TB of internal storage. The WiFi and Bluetooth module has also been overhauled and now supports WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. The battery has also been boosted from a 40 Whr pack to a 50 Whr pack and Valve now claims three to 12 hours of battery life during gaming, as well as faster charging times. Finally the weight has dropped by 29 grams, which might not be much, but still impressive considering the larger battery pack. The downside you ask? That would be the price, as Valve is asking for US$549/€569 for the 512 GB version, with the 1 TB coming at US$649/€679 when it becomes available on the 16th of November.https://tpucdn.com/img/M9QSz5ahKG80GHKS_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/M9QSz5ahKG80GHKS.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/4HiOML21q3hH0snr_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/4HiOML21q3hH0snr.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/lFZcyvSRHKmYlwqc_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lFZcyvSRHKmYlwqc.jpg)

Leaked Flyer Hints at Possible AMD Ryzen 9000 Series Powered by Zen 5
A curious piece of marketing material on the Chiphell forum has sent ripples through the tech community, featuring what appears to be an Alienware desktop equipped with an unannounced AMD Ryzen 9000-series processor. The authenticity of this flyer is up for debate, with possibilities ranging from a simple typo by Alienware to a fabricated image, or it could even suggest that AMD is on the cusp of unveiling its next-generation Ryzen CPUs for desktop PCs. While intrigue is high, it's important to approach such revelations cautiously, with a big grain of salt. AMD's existing roadmap points toward a 2024 release for its Zen 5-based Ryzen desktop processors and EPYC server CPUs, which casts further doubt on the Ryzen 9000 series appearing ahead of schedule.

We have to wait for AMD's major upcoming events, including the "Advancing AI" event on December 6 (https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/events/advancing-ai.html), where the company will showcase how its partners and AMD use AI for applications. Next, we hope to hear from AMD about upcoming events such as CES in January and Computex in May, but we don't have any official information on product launches in the near term. If the company is preparing anything, the Alienware flyer pictured below should indicate it, if the source is confirmed. However, the doubt remains, and we should be skeptical of its truthfulness.https://tpucdn.com/img/oIZoJCCm78V7INrG_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/oIZoJCCm78V7INrG.jpg)

Rockstar Games to Drop Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer in December
As the end of the year is getting closer, Rockstar Games has taken to social media to express heartfelt gratitude to its global community of players. The legendary game developer and publisher is poised to celebrate a quarter-century of industry-defining work since its inception in 1998. In a move that has electrified the gaming community, Rockstar Games has announced plans to unveil the first trailer for the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise in early December, on the company's 25th anniversary. The next-generation title is rumored to be called Grand Theft Auto VI (6), following the release of GTA V. In early December, we should see the first official trailer for GTA VI, which doesn't mean that the game is coming anytime soon.

On the contrary, the trailer could serve just to start the hype cycle. Sam Houser, the co-founder and president of Rockstar Games, has posted: "We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you." Therefore, an official launch date has yet to be set, so the community of GTA players around the globe needs to hold their patience a bit longer.https://tpucdn.com/img/7O6ebMmyxYSLX2cZ_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/7O6ebMmyxYSLX2cZ.jpg)

ZALMAN Intros CNPS13X Black CPU Cooler
ZALMAN today introduced the CNPS13X Black tower-type CPU cooler. The company has a long line of side-flow tower type coolers, but this among the first with an illuminated and stylized top-plate as is contemporary. The cooler features a typical aluminium fin-stack tower type heatsink that's offset a little to its left side, to reduce intrusion of the fan into the motherboard's memory area. A nickel-plated copper base makes contact with the processor, from which five 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes pass through, conveying heat to the aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 120 mm ZALMAN AF120 fan.

The base features a reverse direct-touch heat pipe arrangement that reduces the space between the heat-source and the heatpipes, improving conductivity. The included fan features a hydraulic bearing that's rated for 40,000 hours, and features a webbed impeller that guides all of its airflow axially. It takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds ranging between 600 to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 69.12 CFM of airflow, with 2.01 mm H₂O static pressure, and a maximum noise output of 29.7 dBA. The top plate takes in 3-pin addressable RGB input. The ZALMAN CNPS13X Black is designed for a thermal load of 240 W. The cooler measures 135 mm x 79 mm x 159 mm (WxDxH), weighing 810 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.https://tpucdn.com/img/756Zl26vsGoxvsHI_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/756Zl26vsGoxvsHI.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/1ZyglAACGd6F91d7_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1ZyglAACGd6F91d7.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/vfznRnBaL7Y0zaKE_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/vfznRnBaL7Y0zaKE.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/jf47jbMlLEL3XBh0_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/jf47jbMlLEL3XBh0.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/mzfmJ2DvonQ4jXKF_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mzfmJ2DvonQ4jXKF.jpg)

AMD Releases Preview Driver for FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames
AMD late Thursday released the latest version of the Special Preview Driver that lets you experience FSR 3 Fluid Motion Frames (version: 23.30.01.03), the AMD technology designed to rival NVIDIA's DLSS 3 Frame Generation. The driver is off-branch, and works with Radeon RX 6000 series, and RX 7000 series; but Fluid Motion Frames (FMF) technology is designed to be as cross-platform as FSR 2. For now, FMF is designed to work with DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 applications, on Radeon RX 7000 RDNA3 and RX 6000 RDNA2 GPUs. The November 9th update improves stability with task-switching between an application that has FMF enabled, and one that doesn't; and a number of intermittent driver crashes and bugs with the display of metrics.

Valve has announced an updated version of the Steam Deck and the headline feature is the new 7.4-inch OLED display. That's a mere 0.4-inches bigger than the original Steam Deck LCD display and it retains the same 1280 x 800 resolution. However, everything else related to the display has been improved and the refresh rate is now 90 Hz rather than 60 Hz. The display is also a lot brighter, with an SDR rating of 600 nits and an HDR rating of 1000 nits. Valve also claims a 110 percent P3 colour gamut, a one million to one contrast ratio and a sub 0.1 ms response time. On top of that, Valve has added what the company calls "high performance touch" which is said to improve the responsiveness of the display.

It's not just the display that has been improved, as Valve has moved to a 6 nm AMD Zen 2 based SoC which seems to allow the GPU to run at 1.6 GHz at all times, as Valve no longer lists a frequency range for the GPU. The power envelope remains the same though, with a range of 4-15 Watts. Paired with the new SoC is faster LPDDR5 memory at 6400 MT/s, up from 5500 MT/s, which should provide a small boost in gaming performance. An improved cooling solution is also part of the package, which is also likely a reason for the more constant GPU clocks. Gone are the entry level storage SKUs and the OLED version of the Steam Deck only comes with 512 GB or 1 TB of internal storage. The WiFi and Bluetooth module has also been overhauled and now supports WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. The battery has also been boosted from a 40 Whr pack to a 50 Whr pack and Valve now claims three to 12 hours of battery life during gaming, as well as faster charging times. Finally the weight has dropped by 29 grams, which might not be much, but still impressive considering the larger battery pack. The downside you ask? That would be the price, as Valve is asking for US$549/€569 for the 512 GB version, with the 1 TB coming at US$649/€679 when it becomes available on the 16th of November.https://tpucdn.com/img/M9QSz5ahKG80GHKS_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/M9QSz5ahKG80GHKS.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/4HiOML21q3hH0snr_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/4HiOML21q3hH0snr.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/lFZcyvSRHKmYlwqc_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lFZcyvSRHKmYlwqc.jpg)

Leaked Flyer Hints at Possible AMD Ryzen 9000 Series Powered by Zen 5
A curious piece of marketing material on the Chiphell forum has sent ripples through the tech community, featuring what appears to be an Alienware desktop equipped with an unannounced AMD Ryzen 9000-series processor. The authenticity of this flyer is up for debate, with possibilities ranging from a simple typo by Alienware to a fabricated image, or it could even suggest that AMD is on the cusp of unveiling its next-generation Ryzen CPUs for desktop PCs. While intrigue is high, it's important to approach such revelations cautiously, with a big grain of salt. AMD's existing roadmap points toward a 2024 release for its Zen 5-based Ryzen desktop processors and EPYC server CPUs, which casts further doubt on the Ryzen 9000 series appearing ahead of schedule.

We have to wait for AMD's major upcoming events, including the "Advancing AI" event on December 6 (https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/events/advancing-ai.html), where the company will showcase how its partners and AMD use AI for applications. Next, we hope to hear from AMD about upcoming events such as CES in January and Computex in May, but we don't have any official information on product launches in the near term. If the company is preparing anything, the Alienware flyer pictured below should indicate it, if the source is confirmed. However, the doubt remains, and we should be skeptical of its truthfulness.https://tpucdn.com/img/oIZoJCCm78V7INrG_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/oIZoJCCm78V7INrG.jpg)

Rockstar Games to Drop Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer in December
As the end of the year is getting closer, Rockstar Games has taken to social media to express heartfelt gratitude to its global community of players. The legendary game developer and publisher is poised to celebrate a quarter-century of industry-defining work since its inception in 1998. In a move that has electrified the gaming community, Rockstar Games has announced plans to unveil the first trailer for the next installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise in early December, on the company's 25th anniversary. The next-generation title is rumored to be called Grand Theft Auto VI (6), following the release of GTA V. In early December, we should see the first official trailer for GTA VI, which doesn't mean that the game is coming anytime soon.

On the contrary, the trailer could serve just to start the hype cycle. Sam Houser, the co-founder and president of Rockstar Games, has posted: "We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you." Therefore, an official launch date has yet to be set, so the community of GTA players around the globe needs to hold their patience a bit longer.https://tpucdn.com/img/7O6ebMmyxYSLX2cZ_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/7O6ebMmyxYSLX2cZ.jpg)

AMD Readies Even More Derivatives of the 4 nm "Phoenix" Processor Silicon
AMD's "Phoenix" monolithic processor silicon drives the company's Ryzen 7040 series mobile processor lineup, and possible some of its upcoming Ryzen 7000G desktop processor models. It is the first chip from the AMD camp to feature an AI accelerator, besides up to 8 "Zen 4" CPU cores, and a large iGPU based on the latest RDNA3 graphics architecture, with up to 12 compute units, the latest display I/O and media acceleration capabilities. Over the course of its lifecycle, AMD realized that it can't use the nearly 200 mm² silicon built on the expensive 4 nm node to power lower-end processor SKUs, and so developed the smaller 137 mm² "Phoenix 2" silicon that lacks the AI accelerator, has a smaller iGPU with just 4 compute units, and a unique hybrid CPU with 2 "Zen 4" and 4 "Zen 4c" cores. We're now hearing that the company is designing even more derivatives.

The PCI ID Repository discovered two new IDs believed to reference the iGPU models of "Phoenix 3" and "Phoenix 4" chips. At this point we have no clue what the two chips could be, and what the mixture of their CPU, iGPU, and AI accelerator components could be, especially given that AMD is able to carve out Ryzen 3 SKUs from "Phoenix 2." We speculate that "Phoenix 3" and "Phoenix 4" could reference rebranding such as "Escher," although it could even be entirely new chips with different combinations of "Zen 4" and "Zen 4c" cores.https://tpucdn.com/img/5WKZk1PmL5XuvfmV_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5WKZk1PmL5XuvfmV.jpg)

Microsoft Introduces 128-Core Arm CPU for Cloud and Custom AI Accelerator
During its Ignite conference, Microsoft introduced a duo of custom-designed silicon made to accelerate AI and excel in cloud workloads. First of the two is Microsoft's Azure Cobalt 100 CPU, a 128-core design that features a 64-bit Armv9 instruction set, implemented in a cloud-native design that is set to become a part of Microsoft's offerings. While there aren't many details regarding the configuration, the company claims that the performance target is up to 40% when compared to the current generation of Arm servers running on Azure cloud. The SoC has used Arm's Neoverse CSS platform customized for Microsoft, with presumably Arm Neoverse N2 cores.

The next and hottest topic in the server space is AI acceleration, which is needed for running today's large language models. Microsoft hosts OpenAI's ChatGPT, Microsoft's Copilot, and many other AI services. To help make them run as fast as possible, Microsoft's project Athena now has the name of Maia 100 AI accelerator, which is manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 105 billion transistors and supports various MX data formats, even those smaller than 8-bit bit, for maximum performance. Currently tested on GPT 3.5 Turbo, we have yet to see performance figures and comparisons with competing hardware from NVIDIA, like H100/H200 and AMD, with MI300X. The Maia 100 has an aggregate bandwidth of 4.8 Terabits per accelerator, which uses a custom Ethernet-based networking protocol for scaling. These chips are expected to appear in Microsoft data centers early next year, and we hope to get some performance numbers soon.https://tpucdn.com/img/EJksZuOHoJ5XssMv_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/EJksZuOHoJ5XssMv.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/62hzTZlFFOlHnmlt_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/62hzTZlFFOlHnmlt.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/HbI3pvKK9nxGuP3E_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HbI3pvKK9nxGuP3E.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/VTdgTtY0TWYlaJWy_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/VTdgTtY0TWYlaJWy.jpg)

Titled CVE-2023-20592, the exploit targets first-generation EPYC Naples, second-generation EPYC Rome, and third-generation EPYC Milan. CacheWarp operates by exploiting a vulnerability in AMD's Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) technology, specifically targeting the SEV-ES (Encrypted State) and SEV-SNP (Secure Nested Paging) versions. The attack is a software-based fault injection technique that manipulates the cache memory of a virtual machine (VM) running under SEV. It cleverly forces modified cache lines of the guest VM to revert to their previous state. This action circumvents the integrity checks that SEV-SNP is designed to enforce, allowing the attacker to inject faults without being detected.

Unlike attacks that rely on specific guest VM vulnerabilities, CacheWarp is more versatile and dangerous because it does not depend on the characteristics of the targeted VM. It exploits the underlying architectural weaknesses of AMD SEV, making it a broad threat to systems relying on this technology for security. The CacheWarp attack can bypass robust security measures like encrypted virtualization, posing a significant risk to data confidentiality and integrity in secure computing environments. AMD has issued an update for EPYC Milan with a hot-loadable microcode patch and updated the firmware image without any expected performance degradation. And for the remaining generations, AMD states that no mitigation is available for the first or second generations of EPYC processor (Naples and Rome) since the SEV and SEV-ES features are not designed to protect guest VM memory integrity, and the SEV-SNP is not available.https://tpucdn.com/img/I1FyeOMo1buwY9dD_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/I1FyeOMo1buwY9dD.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/QoDOf4BqlGTcQuIf_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QoDOf4BqlGTcQuIf.jpg)

Intel Confirms APO Feature Not Coming to 13th Gen and 12th Gen Core Processors
Intel Application Performance Optimization (APO) is a unique feature that sets 14th Gen Core "Raptor Lake Refresh" processors apart from 13th Gen "Raptor Lake," despite the two being practically the same microarchitecture. APO is software-based, application-specific processor optimization that is found to offer an up to 16% performance boost in "Metro Exodus," and an up to 13% boost in "Rainbow Six: Siege." These are the only two games that Intel has released APO optimizations for, and for now, APO is only supported on the Core i9-14900K and i9-14900KF. Hardware Unboxed learned that while the company might bring APO to more 14th Gen Core processor models in the near future; it won't make it to 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" and older 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake."

APO is an extension of Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology framework that provides a greater degree of handholding for the OS scheduler, to give a specific application the best possible allocation of hardware system resources. For Intel to release APO profiles to new games, it needs extensive testing and validation specific to processor models and the applications themselves, which is probably why the company is limiting APO to only its current 14th Gen processors, and only specific processor models within the lineup. You can catch the Hardware Unboxed presentation with their testing of APO on the two supported titles, and Intel's statement, in the source link below.https://tpucdn.com/img/A1swUfpdGLAfp9S2_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/A1swUfpdGLAfp9S2.jpg)

YMTC Develops 128 and 232-Layer Xtacking 4.0 NAND Memory Chips
Chinese memory maker Yangtze Memory Technology Corp (YMTC) is allegedly preparing its next-generation Xtacking 4.0 3D NAND flash architecture for next-generation memory chips. According to the documentation obtained by Tom's Hardware, YMTC has developed two SKUs based on the upgraded Xtacking 4.0: X4-9060, a 128-layer three-bit-per-cell (TLC) 3D NAND, and the X4-9070, a 232-layer TLC 3D NAND. By using string stacking on both of these SKUs, YMTC plans to make the 3D NAND work by incorporating arrays with 64 and 116 active layers stacked on top of each other. This way, the export regulation rules from the US government are met, and the company can use the tools that are not under the sanction list.

While YMTC has yet to fully disclose the specific advantages of the Xtacking 4.0 technology, the industry anticipates significant enhancements in data transfer speeds and storage density. These improvements are expected to stem from increased plane counts for optimized parallel processing, refined bit/word line configurations to minimize latency, and the development of modified chip variants to boost production yields. When YMTC announced Xtacking 3.0, the company offered 128-layer TLC and 232-layer four-bit-per-cell (QLC) variants and was the first company to achieve 200+ layer count in the 3D NAND space. The Xtacking 3.0 architecture incorporates string stacking and hybrid bonding techniques and uses a mature process node for the chip's CMOS underlayer. We have to wait for the final Xtacking 4.0 details when YMTC's officially launches the SKUs.https://tpucdn.com/img/DbOdJXlSl8C9slVt_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DbOdJXlSl8C9slVt.jpg)

(PR) Semiconductor Market to Grow 20.2% in 2024 to $633 Billion, According to IDC
International Data Corporation (IDC) has upgraded its Semiconductor Market Outlook by calling a bottom and return to growth that accelerates next year. IDC raised its September 2023 revenue outlook from $518.8 billion to $526.5 billion in a new forecast. Revenue expectations for 2024 were also raised from $625.9 billion to $632.8 billion as IDC believes the U.S. market will remain resilient from a demand standpoint and China will begin recovering by the second half of 2024 (2H24).

IDC sees better semiconductor growth visibility as the long inventory correction subsides in two of the largest market segments: PCs and smartphones. Automotive and Industrials elevated inventory levels are expected to return to normal levels in 2H24 as electrification continues to drive semiconductor content over the next decade. Technology and large flagship product introductions will drive more semiconductor content and value across market segments in 2024 through 2026, including the introduction of AI PCs and AI Smartphones next year and a much-needed improvement in memory ASPs and DRAM bit volume.https://tpucdn.com/img/VUUVhj4DZ27bFw6u_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/VUUVhj4DZ27bFw6u.jpg)

NVIDIA Halts Production of RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 to Make Room for SUPER
NVIDIA has reportedly halted production of GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 graphics cards, allowing the market to digest existing inventories of the two products, so it could create room in the channel for its upcoming GeForce RTX 40-series SUPER graphics cards. The company is expected to announce these cards around the 2024 International CES (January). The SUPER series is being designed to consolidate NVIDIA in the performance-enthusiast segments, and include three SKUs, namely the RTX 4080 SUPER, the RTX 4070 TI SUPER, and the RTX 4070 SUPER. According to the Board Channels post detailing this development, NVIDIA has stopped mass-production of the desktop RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4080 GPUs, shipped its last orders for Q4-2023, each add-in card (AIC) partner has digested its inventories of these cards, and is awaiting arrival of subsequent new products.https://tpucdn.com/img/8lUlv1KtTKTBxbiw_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/8lUlv1KtTKTBxbiw.jpg)

(PR) Alphacool Unveils Three New Aurora Series VGA Blocks for RTX 40-series Graphics Cards
More performance for RTX 4070Ti and RTX 4090 GPUs! With this new and innovative cooler, Alphacool is expanding its range to include active water cooling for NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti and RTX 4090 graphics cards. Thanks to the particularly delicate fin structure, the cooling surface has been enlarged and a high water flow rate has been realized. The jet plate with revised inflow also distributes the water optimally over the cooling fins. The enormous waste heat from the new generation of graphics cards is thus excellently dissipated by the cooler. The full-surface chrome plating of the copper base not only offers resistant protection against acids, scratches and damage, but also achieves a beautiful homogeneity and a special shine.

The Aurora design is visually calm and simple, as only one O-ring runs around the entire radiator. The design of the cooling fins and the jetplate also ensures a clear look. Thanks to the chrome plating, the illumination using digitally addressable RGB LEDs spreads evenly throughout the cooler. The Core GeForce RTX 4090 Master V.2 is now available for pre-order in the Alphacool store. The Eisblock Aurora GeForce RTX 4090 Aorus Master - Gaming V.2 and the Eisblock Aurora GeForce RTX 4070 TI ROG Strix are now available for delivery in the Alphacool online store.https://tpucdn.com/img/su0RUlGubUT220sy_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/su0RUlGubUT220sy.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/jjeox208cWx3p6tx_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/jjeox208cWx3p6tx.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/8Z2qu7IAxJBcyU9j_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/8Z2qu7IAxJBcyU9j.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/rguH5uFpDRIx2sDo_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/rguH5uFpDRIx2sDo.jpg)

On Friday, the AI world was caught by storm as the board of directors of OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT and other AI software, fired its CEO, Sam Altman. According to multiple sources reporting the state of OpenAI, Sam Altman was stunned by the board's decision of his removal, where the company published a public statement with many remarks, primarily informing the public that "Mr. Altman's departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities. The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI."

After Sam Altman's leave, Greg Brockman, president and co-founder of OpenAI, announced that he was also leaving the company. Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, and other investors have stepped in to lead negotiations between the OpenAI board and Sam Altman to return to his position as the CEO of the non-profit company. However, according to The Information, Sam Altman will not be returning as the CEO, and instead, Emmett Shear will be appointed as the interim CEO of OpenAI. It is also reported that the departure of Sam Altman is now being followed by three senior researchers, Jakub Pachocki, Aleksander Madry, and Szymon Sidor, who have left the company to follow Sam Altman's next adventure. They wanted to go back to OpenAI if Mr. Altman would return; however, with Emmett Shear now being appointed as interim CEO, the company is in shambles with its senior staff employment in question.https://tpucdn.com/img/BfIV4yJr0SIEk703_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/BfIV4yJr0SIEk703.jpg)

(PR) New EK-Pro Pump-Reservoir Combo Units Also Work as Manifolds
EK, the premium water-cooling gear manufacturer, is launching a new pump-reservoir combo unit with a plethora of G1/4" ports, allowing it to also act as a manifold. EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X6 D5 - Acetal has enough ports to work with a total of six water-cooling components, for example, two CPUs, two GPUs, and two radiators. It also has a dedicated fill port, a drain port with an optional QDC, and a small window for visually monitoring the coolant level.

EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X6 D5 - Acetal
This is a custom water-cooling reservoir, routing, and pump solution. It can act as a regular pump-reservoir combo, be used like a manifold, or, practically, as a distribution plate, even though its aesthetics vastly differ from most distro plates. The X6 in the name designates the number of components it can directly connect as a manifold, and D5 indicates a single D5 pump pushing the liquid around the loop. It can be mounted to the case in many different ways. EK-Pro Pump Reservoir Manifold X6 D5 has M4 screw threads on the side opposite to ports and on the backside, allowing for plenty of mounting options, multiplied by the bracket with 120 mm fan mounting hole spacing (105 mm). A staggering 14 G1/4" ports are available, of which two act as dedicated fill and drain ports.https://tpucdn.com/img/mtgca3ibzBMfj396_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mtgca3ibzBMfj396.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/LmIxo4G91E9WObUH_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/LmIxo4G91E9WObUH.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/rWZOPafGOQJWJ1eR_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/rWZOPafGOQJWJ1eR.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/R6gnQbP5KyhSyhlH_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/R6gnQbP5KyhSyhlH.jpg)

The Seasonic MagFlow Fan is a novel cooling product in terms of style and functional modularity. Perfectly positioned, built-in magnetic attachment points connect the fan sides easily, pin-to-pin with a snap. Hassle-free installation saves time and enhances the look of the PC by eliminating the need to run cables in between fans. The high-quality feel of the MagFlow fan is achieved by using durable materials and fine aesthetic details. The cables on the back are hidden in an X-style support, while the Seasonic logo on the front harmonizes with the blue color strip on the inner side of the frame. The fan blade features an elegant brushed metallic center medallion with the brand logo.

Keeping Cool with Magnetic Magic
The Seasonic MagFlow Fan uses magnetic, pin-to-pin connectors to seamlessly inter-lock adjacent fans and to connect one power and signal cable to a fan-cluster. This unique method of installing fans simplifies system building, minimizes clutter, and optimizes cooling.https://tpucdn.com/img/M66JKPhQW2KNzC9D_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/M66JKPhQW2KNzC9D.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/NPCXGs3JOXhXwYX3_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/NPCXGs3JOXhXwYX3.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/u8EnOzX06fUk59Fo_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/u8EnOzX06fUk59Fo.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/RGGKD8SASXJqtM8T_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/RGGKD8SASXJqtM8T.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/ny1Cd8f1kzKz8SNE_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ny1Cd8f1kzKz8SNE.jpg)

YMTC Develops 128 and 232-Layer Xtacking 4.0 NAND Memory Chips
Chinese memory maker Yangtze Memory Technology Corp (YMTC) is allegedly preparing its next-generation Xtacking 4.0 3D NAND flash architecture for next-generation memory chips. According to the documentation obtained by Tom's Hardware, YMTC has developed two SKUs based on the upgraded Xtacking 4.0: X4-9060, a 128-layer three-bit-per-cell (TLC) 3D NAND, and the X4-9070, a 232-layer TLC 3D NAND. By using string stacking on both of these SKUs, YMTC plans to make the 3D NAND work by incorporating arrays with 64 and 116 active layers stacked on top of each other. This way, the export regulation rules from the US government are met, and the company can use the tools that are not under the sanction list.

While YMTC has yet to fully disclose the specific advantages of the Xtacking 4.0 technology, the industry anticipates significant enhancements in data transfer speeds and storage density. These improvements are expected to stem from increased plane counts for optimized parallel processing, refined bit/word line configurations to minimize latency, and the development of modified chip variants to boost production yields. When YMTC announced Xtacking 3.0, the company offered 128-layer TLC and 232-layer four-bit-per-cell (QLC) variants and was the first company to achieve 200+ layer count in the 3D NAND space. The Xtacking 3.0 architecture incorporates string stacking and hybrid bonding techniques and uses a mature process node for the chip's CMOS underlayer. We have to wait for the final Xtacking 4.0 details when YMTC's officially launches the SKUs.https://tpucdn.com/img/DbOdJXlSl8C9slVt_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DbOdJXlSl8C9slVt.jpg)

Lenovo (United States) Inc., part of the global technology corporation, Lenovo Group, filed a patent infringement action on November 15th with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) against ASUSTeK Computer Inc. and ASUS Computer International (ASUS) for infringement of a variety of Lenovo's patents related to software, hardware, and connectivity across multiple ASUS products. The action is in response to ASUS's August 2023 filings in the Regional Court of Munich related to cellular technologies, where Lenovo had offered a cross-licensing deal as a solution.

Lenovo is a strong proponent of cross-licensing agreements, open and transparent negotiations, and licensing within the industry on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. This is evidenced by the Group's ongoing litigation with InterDigital, where it advocated for greater transparency and less discrimination in licensing negotiations and was proven by the UK Court to be a willing licensee. The action against ASUSTeK reflects the Group's commitment to protecting its significant contributions to technology innovation and industry "firsts" over the past 39 years, building a portfolio of over 28,000 patents with a further 14,000 applications pending.https://tpucdn.com/img/bBw55xEzo3tnl2B2_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/bBw55xEzo3tnl2B2.jpg)

Sam Altman to Return as OpenAI CEO, Days After Board's Decision for Removal
Over the past few days, the OpenAI drama has continued to give more details about the relationship between OpenAI's board, employees, and even the executive layer of the company. As we have covered previously, the OpenAI board on last Friday, November 17, fired the company's CEO, Sam Altman. Over the weekend, Mr. Altman was approached by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and offered to lead the AI unit within the Redmond giant; however, the employment was not yet finalized. Today, we learned that Sam Altman has reached an agreement with the board to return to OpenAI along with Greg Brockman and many other OpenAI employees.

After starting a wave of posts on the X/Twitter platform saying, "OpenAI is nothing without its people," the employees of OpenAI signed a letter requesting the board to bring back Sam Altman. With the deal now happening, employees are expected to continue working for OpenAI under Sam Altman's leadership. The new initial board of OpenAI is composed of Bret Taylor (Chair), Larry Summers, and Adam D'Angelo. Sam Altman said in a post on X: "i love openai, and everything i've done over the past few days has been in service of keeping this team and its mission together. when i decided to join msft on sun evening, it was clear that was the best path for me and the team. with the new board and w satya's support, i'm looking forward to returning to openai, and building on our strong partnership with msft." While Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella added "We are encouraged by the changes to the OpenAI board. We believe this is a first essential step on a path to more stable, well-informed, and effective governance. Sam, Greg, and I have talked and agreed they have a key role to play along with the OAI leadership team in ensuring OAI continues to thrive and build on its mission. We look forward to building on our strong partnership and delivering the value of this next generation of AI to our customers and partners."https://tpucdn.com/img/h7hl9JVtqWIbb0Ak_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/h7hl9JVtqWIbb0Ak.jpg)

Most of us are fortunate enough not to need a monster power supply in our PCs, but for those that do, SilverStone has launched an updated version of its 2050 Watt HELA 2050 power supply (https://www.techpowerup.com/review/silverstone-hela-2050-w/), simply named the HELA 2050R. It delivers no less than 170 Ampere on its 12 V rail and SilverStone claims a power density of 882 Watts per liter. The updated version comes with a pair of 12VHPWR connectors, with one modular cable with two GPU connectors and one modular cable with a single GPU connector.

The HELA 2050R is rather amazingly only 180 mm deep and in addition to the 12VHPWR connector it also has three standard 6+2 GPU connector with support for up to 14 GPU connectors, as well as support for up to 12 SATA drives, three Molex connectors, one floppy drive type connector and of course, the standard ATX and EPS power connectors. Note that the HELA 2050R is limited to 200-240 Volt input, as a standard 115 Volt outlet would be limited to 1650 Watt. No pricing was announced, but considering that the HELA 2050 is retailing for well over US$500, it's not expected that the 2050R will be any cheaper.https://tpucdn.com/img/XJsjF7zK8vwb5uTs_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/XJsjF7zK8vwb5uTs.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/YzOpqTSO2zdW2sKe_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YzOpqTSO2zdW2sKe.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/P29ivEqcAFZNHWLj_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/P29ivEqcAFZNHWLj.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/CtFDgFSLFMKEe9MA_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/CtFDgFSLFMKEe9MA.jpg)

Thermalright Intros AXP90-X53 Full Copper CPU Cooler
Thermalright today introduced the AXP90-X53 Full copper CPU cooler. A variant of the 53 mm-tall AXP90-X53 top-flow air cooler, this one comes with a nearly 100% copper build, with the CPU contact base, heatpipes, and fin-stack made entirely of the red metal. The only bits on the heatsink that aren't made of copper are the steel retention clips. A copper base plate pulls heat from the processor, conveying it to four 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes, which pass through a copper fin-stack. This is ventilated by a 15 mm-tall 92 mm fan. The base may look like it's plain copper, but has C1100 nickel-plating, and can take even those kinds of TIM that would damage copper over time.

The included Thermalright TL-9015R 92 mm fan features an orange impeller with a contrasting red frame. It features a fluid dynamic bearing, and takes in 4-pin PWM input. It turns at speeds of up to 2,700 RPM, pushing up to 42.58 CFM of airflow, at 1.33 mm H₂O static pressure, and 22.4 dBA noise output. With the fan in place, the Thermalright AXP-90-X53 Full copper measures 94.5 mm x 95 mm x 53 mm, weighing around 600 g (including fan). CPU socket types supported include LGA1700, AM5, LGA1200, and AM4. The company didn't release pricing information.https://tpucdn.com/img/FFDHiHIHdefkP95u_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/FFDHiHIHdefkP95u.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/T8KrBwKOxQHK0Nno_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/T8KrBwKOxQHK0Nno.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/kvs2o4ZDiogxTRF2_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/kvs2o4ZDiogxTRF2.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/KqhblMBl4qkZqPEx_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KqhblMBl4qkZqPEx.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/DoeMVQFcoEIuEsET_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DoeMVQFcoEIuEsET.jpg)

The recent U.S. government restrictions on AI hardware exports to China have significantly impacted several key semiconductor players, including NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel, restricting them from selling high-performance AI chips to Chinese land. This ban has notably affected NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090 gaming GPUs, pushing them out of mainland China due to their high computational capabilities. In anticipation of these restrictions, NVIDIA reportedly moved a substantial inventory of its AD102 GPUs and GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards to China, which we reported earlier (https://www.techpowerup.com/315329/nvidia-is-rushing-geforce-rtx-4090-orders-to-china-before-export-restrictions). This could have contributed to the global RTX 4090 shortage, driving the prices of these cards up to 2000 USD. In an interesting turn of events, insiders from the Chinese Baidu forums have disclosed that specialized factories across China are repurposing these GPUs, which arrived before the ban, into AI solutions.

This transformation involves disassembling the gaming GPUs, removing the cooling systems and extracting the AD102 GPU and GDDR6X memory from the main PCBs. These components are then re-soldered onto a domestically manufactured "reference" PCB, better suited for AI applications, and equipped with dual-slot blower-style coolers designed for server environments. The third-party coolers that these GPUs come with are 3-4 slots in size, whereas the blower-style cooler is only two slots wide, and many of them can be placed in parallel in an AI server. After rigorous testing, these reconfigured RTX 4090 AI solutions are supplied to Chinese companies running AI workloads. This adaptation process has resulted in an influx of RTX 4090 coolers and bare PCBs into the Chinese reseller market at markedly low prices, given that the primary GPU and memory components have been removed.https://tpucdn.com/img/XCUsX809L5ILooxx_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/XCUsX809L5ILooxx.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/U89IIhJXEXmdtfyD_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/U89IIhJXEXmdtfyD.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/1Mz9h9338m9T9bvZ_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1Mz9h9338m9T9bvZ.jpg)

(PR) NVIDIA Experiences Strong Cloud AI Demand but Faces Challenges in China, with High-End AI Server Shipments Expected to Be Below 4% in 2024
NVIDIA's most recent FY3Q24 financial reports reveal record-high revenue coming from its data center segment, driven by escalating demand for AI servers from major North American CSPs. However, TrendForce points out that recent US government sanctions targeting China have impacted NVIDIA's business in the region. Despite strong shipments of NVIDIA's high-end GPUs—and the rapid introduction of compliant products such as the H20, L20, and L2—Chinese cloud operators are still in the testing phase, making substantial revenue contributions to NVIDIA unlikely in Q4. Gradual shipments increases are expected from the first quarter of 2024.

The US ban continues to influence China's foundry market as Chinese CSPs' high-end AI server shipments potentially drop below 4% next year
TrendForce reports that North American CSPs like Microsoft, Google, and AWS will remain key drivers of high-end AI servers (including those with NVIDIA, AMD, or other high-end ASIC chips) from 2023 to 2024. Their estimated shipments are expected to be 24%, 18.6%, and 16.3%, respectively, for 2024. Chinese CSPs such as ByteDance, Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent (BBAT) are projected to have a combined shipment share of approximately 6.3% in 2023. However, this could decrease to less than 4% in 2024, considering the current and potential future impacts of the ban.https://tpucdn.com/img/gRTIvXJdZaIsWxJU_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/gRTIvXJdZaIsWxJU.jpg)

Dell Allegedly Prohibits Sales of High-End Radeon and Instinct MI GPUs in China
AMD's lineup of Radeon and Instinct GPUs, including the flagship RX 7900 XTX/XT, the professional-grade PRO W7900, and the upcoming Instinct MI300, are facing sales prohibitions in China, according to an alleged sales advisory guide from Dell. This restriction mirrors the earlier ban on NVIDIA's RTX 4090, underscoring the increasing export limitations U.S.-based companies face for high-end semiconductor products that could be repurposed for military and strategic applications. Notably, Dell's report lists several AMD Instinct accelerators, which are integral to data center infrastructure, and Radeon GPUs, which are widely used in PCs, indicating the broad impact of the advisory.

The ban includes discrete GPUs like AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT, which, despite their data-center potential, may still be sold under specific "NEC" eligibility. This status allows for continued sales in restricted regions like sales of NVIDIA's RTX 4090. However, the process to secure NEC eligibility is lengthy, potentially leading to supply shortages and increased GPU prices—a trend already observed with the RX 7900 XTX in China, where it's become a high-end alternative in light of the RTX 4090's scarcity and inflated pricing. The Dell sales advisory also lists that sales of the aforementioned products are banned in 22 countries, including Russia, Iran, Iraq, and others listed below.https://tpucdn.com/img/5Olhdnz2WNodWPcv_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5Olhdnz2WNodWPcv.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/QAnhDY84owlfTFYa_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QAnhDY84owlfTFYa.jpg)

AMD Radeon "GFX12" RX 8000 Series GPUs Based on RDNA4 Appear
AMD is working hard on delivering next-generation products, and today, its Linux team has submitted a few interesting patches that made a subtle appearance through recent GitHub patches for GFX12 targets (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/73133), as reported by Phoronix. These patches have introduced two new discrete GPUs into the LLVM compiler for Linux, fueling speculation that these will be the first iterations of the RDNA4 graphics architecture, potentially being a part of the Radeon RX 8000 series of desktop graphics cards. The naming scheme for these new targets, GFX1200 and GFX1201, suggests a continuation of AMD's logical progression through graphics architectures, considering the company's history of associating RDNA1 with GFX10 and following suit with subsequent generations, like RDNA2 was GFX10.2 and RDNA3 was GFX11.

The development of these new GPUs is still in the early stages, indicated by the lack of detailed information about the upcoming graphics ISA or its features within the patches. Currently, the new GFX12 targets are set to be treated akin to GFX11 as the patch notes that "For now they behave identically to GFX11," implying that AMD is keeping the specifics under wraps until closer to release. The patch that defines target names and ELF numbers for new GFX12 targets GFX1200 and GFX1201 is needed in order to enable timely support for AMD ROCm compute stack, the AMDVLK Vulkan driver, and the RadeonSI Gallium3D driver.https://tpucdn.com/img/IzRUr090mtIusPv0_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/IzRUr090mtIusPv0.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/lPeUJigDXKNSS8RD_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lPeUJigDXKNSS8RD.jpg)

Valve Software today announced that the Steam store will switch to the US Dollar as currency for Turkiye and Argentina. The stores for both countries have implemented this change as of November 20. The reason cited for the change is the high degree of volatility of the local currencies in the two markets, which is causing game developers to struggle to find the right pricing for their games. Gamers from other regions have been using VPNs to shop from these countries as the volatile exchange rates would mean low pricing. Those with Steam Wallet balances in the local currencies from these two markets will see their wallet balances convert to US Dollars at the day's exchange rate.https://tpucdn.com/img/2t0Jdv26z3quwyHO_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/2t0Jdv26z3quwyHO.jpg)

(PR) EK-Pro Line Gets New Multiport 360 and 480 mm Radiators
EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is expanding the EK-Pro Line with a radiator portfolio. The EK-Pro Radiator P360 Multiport - Black and EK-Pro Radiator P480 Multiport - Black feature a multiport design for ease of use and convenience in tube routing tubes. They come with a medium, 45 mm thickness, and 18 FPI fin density.

The EK-Pro P Series Radiators
The new EK-Pro Radiator P Series comes in two sizes - 360 mm and 480 mm. With a thickness of 45 mm, the EK-Pro P Series radiators are the absolute all-rounders for low noise and high performance across the entire fan operational range. These radiators are 120 mm wide, ensuring compatibility with the widest portfolio of PC cases. They are equipped with four G1/4" threaded connection ports to ensure easier tube routing in most scenarios. The fourteen 2 mm-wide copper tubes across the entire radiator length assure optimal coolant flow, putting no stress on your cooling loop. High-grade non-louvered copper fins with 18 FPI density provide the best balance between thermal transfer and air resistance, enabling optimal performance even at low-speed fan operation. To maximize cooling performance, the radiators can be used in a Push/Pull setup.https://tpucdn.com/img/TeaeXpVDOnEy2UFy_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/TeaeXpVDOnEy2UFy.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/PTdeea14v1YfSDsT_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/PTdeea14v1YfSDsT.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/34XA1TMWgOX9WfpA_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/34XA1TMWgOX9WfpA.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/EiMXczXVfUfIziku_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/EiMXczXVfUfIziku.jpg)

Intel Core Ultra 7 155H iGPU Outperforms AMD Radeon 780M, Comes Close to Desktop Intel Arc A380
Intel is slowly preparing to launch its next-generation Meteor Lake mobile processor family, dropping the Core i brand name in favor of Core Ultra. Today, we are witnessing some early Geekbench v6 benchmarks (https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/compute/1323160) with the latest leak of the Core Ultra 7 155H processor, boasting an integrated Arc GPU featuring 8 Xe-Cores—the complete configuration expected in the GPU tile. This tile is also projected to be a part of the more potent Core 9 Ultra 185H CPU. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor has been benchmarked in the new ASUS Zenbook 14, which houses a 16-core and 22-thread hybrid CPU configuration capable of boosting up to 4.8 GHz. Paired with 32 GB of memory, the configuration was well equipped to supply CPU and GPU with sufficient memory space.

Perhaps the most interesting information from the submission was the OpenCL score of the GPU. Clocking in at 33948 points in Geekbench v6, the GPU is running over AMD's Radeon 780M GPU found in APU solutions like AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS and Ryzen 9 7940U, which scored 30585 and 27345 points in the same benchmark, respectively. The GPU tile is millimeters away from closing the gap between itself and the desktop Intel Arc A380 discrete GPU, which scored 37105 points for less than a 10% difference. The Xe-LPG GPU version is bringing some interesting performance points for the integrated GPU platform, which means that Intel's Meteor Lake SKUs will bring more performance/watt than ever.https://tpucdn.com/img/UVky4ACqHla6O6y5_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/UVky4ACqHla6O6y5.jpg)
