AnandTech, a tech publication that practically everyone in the computing industry is aware of, announced that it is shutting down. Named after its founder, Anand Lal Shimpi, AnandTech was founded in 1997 by the then 15-year-old Anand, and went on to become one of the top sources of PC hardware and gaming news and reviews, particularly in the golden age of PC (the 1990s and the 2000s). It is one of the key sites that inspired the founding of TechPowerUp. Anand and his crew have remained our friends and peers throughout this time.

Some of the biggest tectonic shifts in the tech world were parsed through Anand's keyboard. At age 32, Anand left the publication he founded to pursue a job with Apple, handing it to his friend and editor, Ryan Smith, and publisher Purch, which was later acquired by Future PLC. The site would continue to maintain the highest standards of reporting and evaluation for the following decade. AnandTech says that Future PLC will keep the site up and running, so all of its invaluable content remains accessible. We will dearly miss you, AnandTech.https://tpucdn.com/img/D3vRxxhcqB1A11x6_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/D3vRxxhcqB1A11x6.jpg)

According to a recent report from Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-30/intel-is-said-to-explore-options-to-cope-with-historic-slump), Intel is in talks with investment banks about a possible spin-out of its foundry business, as well as scraping some existing expansion plans to cut losses. As the report highlights, sources close to Intel noted that the company is exploring various ways to deal with the recent Q2 2024 earnings report (https://www.techpowerup.com/325151/intel-reports-q2-2024-financial-results-announces-usd-10-billion-cost-reduction-plan-shares-fall-20). While Intel's revenues are in decline, they are still high. However, the profitability of running its business has declined so much that the company is now operating on a net loss, with an astonishing $1.61 billion in the red. CEO Pat Gelsinger is now exploring various ways to control these losses and make the 56-year-old giant profitable again. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are reportedly advising Intel about its future moves regarding the foundry business and overall operations.

The Intel Foundry unit represents the biggest consumer of the company's funds, as the expansion plans across the US and Europe are costing Intel billions of US Dollars. Even though the company receives various state subsidies to build semiconductor manufacturing facilities, it still has to put much of its capital to work. Given that the company is running tight on funds, some of these expansion plans that are not business-critical may get scraped. Additionally, running the foundry business is also turning out to be rather costly, with Q2 2024 recording a negative 65.5% operating margin. Separating Intel Product and Intel Foundry may be an option, or even selling the foundry business as a whole is on the table. Whatever happens next is yet to be cleared up. During the Deutsche Bank Technology Conference on Thursday, Pat Gelsinger also noted that "It's been a difficult few weeks" for Intel, with many employees getting laid off to try to establish new cost-saving measures (https://www.techpowerup.com/325783/intel-targets-35-cost-reduction-in-sales-and-marketing-group-bracing-for-tough-times-ahead).https://tpucdn.com/img/ZM4j8c8JiYgv1DUQ_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ZM4j8c8JiYgv1DUQ.jpg)

Gabriel Ferraz, maintainer of the TechPowerUp SSD database and content creator, recently published an article (https://theoverclockingpage.com/2024/08/23/the-impact-of-slc-cache-in-performance-of-an-nvme-ssd-benchmarks-and-results/?lang=en) that shows the relationship between SLC (Single-Level Cell) cache technology and its performance impact on SSDs. Using a Pichau Aldrin Pro 2 TB SSD featuring an Innogrit IG5236 controller and YMTC 128-layer TLC NAND, Gabriel has uncovered both the advantages and potential drawbacks of this feature. The article reveals that with SLC cache enabled, which acts as a high-speed buffer, the SSD achieved remarkable write speeds of up to 6.5 GB/s, but only until 691 GB had been written. Beyond that, speeds dropped to 2.2 GB/s and then to 860 MB/s as the drive filled up.

Disabling the SLC cache delivers more consistent performance results that are 2.1 GB/s across the whole capacity of the SSD, but with lower peak performance. Testing also examined the impact on power consumption and efficiency. With the SLC cache active, the SSD consumed approximately 5 W of power while achieving over 3000 MB/s bandwidth. Disabling the cache reduced power consumption but at the cost of halving the bandwidth to around 1900 MB/s, resulting in lower overall efficiency. Maximum power consumption with cache enabled peaked at 7.3 W, compared to a lower figure when operating in constant TLC mode. Below, you can see some performance benchmarks published on The Overclock Page.https://tpucdn.com/img/du0oATtEOKZTeW7t_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/du0oATtEOKZTeW7t.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/LdO6zgGpo9HTfr4J_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/LdO6zgGpo9HTfr4J.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/AkKvPb2BATSturhG_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/AkKvPb2BATSturhG.jpg)

However, the company announced that it has implemented design changes to improve the production yields of its B100 and B200 processors. Despite these setbacks, NVIDIA remains optimistic about its production timeline. The tech giant plans to commence the production ramp of Blackwell GPUs in Q4 2024, with expected shipments worth several billion dollars by the end of the year. In an official statement, NVIDIA explained, "We executed a change to the Blackwell GPU mask to improve production yield." The company also reaffirmed that it had successfully sampled Blackwell GPUs with customers in the second quarter.

However, NVIDIA acknowledged that meeting demand required producing "low-yielding Blackwell material," which impacted its gross margins. During an earnings call, NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang assured investors that the supply of B100 and B200 GPUs will be there. He expressed confidence in the company's ability to mass-produce these chips starting in the fourth quarter. The Blackwell B100 and B200 GPUs use TSMC's CoWoS-L packaging technology and a complex design, which prompted rumors about the company facing yield issues with its designs. Reports suggest that initial challenges arose from mismatched thermal expansion coefficients among various components, leading to warping and system failures. However, now the company claims that the fix that solved these problems was a new GPU photomask, which bumped yields back to normal levels.https://tpucdn.com/img/wwG6mq4vnsZQ7umD_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/wwG6mq4vnsZQ7umD.jpg)

For over a decade, Noble has been leading the way in universal and custom in-ear monitor design and development. From their first K-10 universal IEM, to their award-winning true wireless range and prestige custom in-ear monitors - Noble only uses the finest materials, hand-crafted with passion and precision. The FoKus Apollo is Noble's first ever headphone model, and the world's first headphones to use a dynamic driver and planar magnetic driver hybrid speaker arrangement. This unique blend of technologies results in audio like no other wireless headphone that has come before, utilizing the accuracy and top-end clarity of planar with the power and body achieved by dynamic drivers. Available to buy on the 3rd September from NobleAudio.com and selected retailers worldwide for $649/£599/€699.

The FoKus Apollo is Noble's first foray into the world of over-ear headphones. With the world's first patented 40 mm dynamic driver and 14.5 mm planar magnetic hybrid driver speaker arrangement, Noble has created a headphone that is completely unique in sound and design. Planar magnetic speakers are known for their delicacy and accuracy, without the blurring effects of excessive inertia. Dynamic drivers provide excellent bass by moving significant amounts of air, however, due to their mass, dynamic drivers cannot provide the crystal clear mid and high frequencies that planar magnetic speakers are capable of. By utilizing both a dynamic speaker and a planar magnetic speaker the Noble FoKus Apollo provides the clarity of a planar magnetic driver, while retaining the bass of a dynamic driver. Two worlds collide for a stunningly blissful audio experience like no other.https://tpucdn.com/img/IHiyP2VT8xJGo7Yy_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/IHiyP2VT8xJGo7Yy.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/9CZhMVUKtUsyllt2_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9CZhMVUKtUsyllt2.jpg) https://tpucdn.com/img/5QSgP7hm74IjO3Nz_thm.jpg (https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5QSgP7hm74IjO3Nz.jpg)
