NextPowerUP NEWS

AMD today announced the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT gaming graphics cards debuting its next-generation RDNA3 graphics architecture. The two new cards come at $999 and $899—basically targeting the $1000 high-end premium price point.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/3EFWSr9rU8EjNvN9.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1778" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/3EFWSr9rU8EjNvN9_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/N7seRAG9KrIlaNCY.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1802" data-height="1029" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/N7seRAG9KrIlaNCY_thm.jpg" width="228" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div>Both cards will be available on December 13th, not only the AMD reference design, which is sold through AMD.com, but also custom-design variants from the many board partners on the same day. AIBs are expected to announce their products in the coming weeks.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/4dZf1DS0cksNlv4H.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1778" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/4dZf1DS0cksNlv4H_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/JHEVl1yVmAYiNMbY.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1778" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/JHEVl1yVmAYiNMbY_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a><br />
</div>The RX 7900 XTX is priced at USD $999, and the RX 7900 XT is $899, which is a surprisingly small difference of only $100, for a performance difference that will certainly be larger, probably in the 20% range. Both Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT are using the PCI-Express 4.0 interface, Gen 5 is not supported with this generation. The RX 7900 XTX has a typical board power of 355 W, or about 95 W less than that of the GeForce RTX 4090. The reference-design RX 7900 XTX uses conventional 8-pin PCIe power connectors, as would custom-design cards, when they come out. AMD's board partners will create units with three 8-pin power connectors, for higher out of the box performance and better OC potential. The decision to not use the 16-pin power connector that NVIDIA uses was made "well over a year ago", mostly because of cost, complexity and the fact that these Radeons don't require that much power anyway.<div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300632/amd-announces-the-usd-999-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-and-usd-899-rx-7900-xt-5nm-rdna3-displayport-2-1-fsr-3-0-fluidmotion">Read full story</a></div>

AMD Navi 31 RDNA3 GPU Pictured
Here's the first picture of the "Navi 31" GPU at the heart of AMD's fastest next-generation graphics cards. Based on the RDNA3 graphics architecture, this will mark an ambitious attempt by AMD to build the first multi-chip module (MCM) client GPU featuring more than one logic die. MCM GPUs aren't new in the enterprise space with Intel's "Ponte Vecchio," but this would be the first such GPU meant for hardcore gaming graphics products. AMD had made MCM GPUs in the past, but those have been packages with just one logic die, surrounded by memory stacks. "Navi 31" is an MCM of as many as eight logic dies, and no memory stacks (no, those aren't HBM stacks in the picture below).<br />
<br />
It's rumored that "Navi 31" features one or two SIMD chiplets dubbed GCDs, featuring the GPU's main number crunching machinery, the RDNA3 compute units. These chiplets are likely built on the most advanced silicon fabrication node, likely TSMC 5 nm EUV, but we'll see. The GDDR6 memory controllers handling the chip's 384-bit wide GDDR6 memory interface, will be located on separate chiplets built on a slightly older node, such as TSMC 6 nm. This is not multi-GPU-a-stick, because both SIMD chiplets have uniform access to the entire 384-bit wide memory bus (which is not 2x 192-bit but 1x 384-bit), besides the other ancillaries. The "Navi 31" MCM are expected to be surrounded by JEDEC-standard 20 Gbps GDDR6 memory chips.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/WEXnAVicShYwpjo7.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="551" data-height="476" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/WEXnAVicShYwpjo7_thm.jpg" width="150" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

AMD Discounts the Ryzen 5000-series on its Official US Web Store, Ryzen 7 5800X3D Goes for US$329
AMD has dropped the price on most of its Ryzen 5000-series CPUs on its official web store and some models have been discounted by as much as US$250 over the MSRP. However, the most interesting discount here might be the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which has been discounted from US$449 to US$329, which makes it a pretty good deal for anyone considering getting what is one of the best CPUs out there for gaming. <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, AMD's discounted deal appears to have been very popular and as such the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is currently sold out. It's unclear if AMD will add more stock at the same price point, but what is clear is that the Ryzen 7 5800X3D is a popular CPU, especially at what now appears to be the right price point. As mentioned, AMD has discounted its entire lineup of Ryzen 5000-series CPUs, so if you've been on the fence whether to upgrade or not, now might be a good time to do so. That said, most online retailers appear to be offering the same CPUs at the same, or at least almost the same price, making the Ryzen 7 5800X3D the only real bargain to be had, if it comes back in stock. Unfortunately, AMD hasn't discounted its CPUs in other regions, so if you're outside of the US, you're not going to see any special deals if you visit the AMD web store.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pElfeQUBgiOi5Wy1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1443" data-height="1473" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pElfeQUBgiOi5Wy1_thm.jpg" width="127" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Diabolical New VR Headset is Designed to Kill its User IRL if Killed In-game
Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey designed a new VR headset that adds the ultimate layer of realism to VR—mortality. Thought to be relegated to dystopian cyberpunk fiction, this new headset comes with the ability to literally kill its user if killed in-game. Its design involves an Oculus Quest Pro, with explosive charges strapped to the forehead, which activate when the headset receives a specific pattern of red color flashes from the game's display-head, to a photo receiver (typically the "Game Over" screen). There's already a game designed for this, "Sword Art Online." a medieval swordplay-based MMORPG, which can be played with the lethal setting enabled. <br />
<br />
Mortality replaces visual fidelity and photorealism (or other forms of sensory realism); as the most powerful stimulus. You play the game like your life depends on it—which it literally does. You're in an MMO playing against another human in an unpausable PvP game, where the consequence of losing the duel is losing your head in real life. But first, the good news—the cursed thing isn't in mass-production, and while the US-FDA has approved for certain kinds of pain-stimulating gaming peripherals, it didn't approve killing the user. The product will have to pass through a long line of political, legislative, legal, and philosophical hurdles before it's released to market as something you can buy. Please don't.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/doWODmyGhuYsrtvz.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="480" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/doWODmyGhuYsrtvz_thm.jpg" width="217" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Today, ARCTIC, a leading manufacturer of low-noise PC coolers and components, introduces the Alpine 17 LP, a new low-profile case cooler. The Alpine 17 LP relies on a slim and flat radial heat sink and a powerful fan. The installation height of the Alpine 17 LP is only 42.9 mm, making it ideal for small cases such as Mini-ITX cases and HTCPs.<br />
<br />
The fan has a wide speed range of 300 to 3000 rpm and remains very quiet, even at higher speeds. The Alpine 17 LP also has the typical ARCTIC 4-pin PWM fan connector and can be easily connected and conveniently regulated via pulse width modulation. The cooler is mounted via push pins and therefore requires no additional tools. Thanks to the pre-applied MX-4 Thermal Paste, the entire assembly is quick and uncomplicated. ARCTIC gives the Alpine 17 LP the 6-year warranty typical for the manufacturer.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YHilIFWQbk1OHlGv.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/YHilIFWQbk1OHlGv_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/669szFtDOoh2XhSm.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/669szFtDOoh2XhSm_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/82Huf8TFEjDOXdVE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/82Huf8TFEjDOXdVE_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/vHwuN2ACfxfwjAsA.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/vHwuN2ACfxfwjAsA_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/yJA1tWbRfcv2YydP.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/yJA1tWbRfcv2YydP_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300838/arctic-announces-alpine-17-lp-low-profile-socket-lga1700-cpu-cooler">Read full story</a></div>

(PR) Noctua Introduces NA-IS1 Inlet Spacers for Suction Applications and NA-SAVG2 Gasket Set
Noctua today introduced its new NA-IS1 intake side spacer frames for suction or "pull" type applications where fans draw air through obstacles such as grills, perforated plates, mesh panels, filters or radiators. By offsetting the fan from the obstacle, the NA-IS1 can significantly reduce influx turbulences and thereby help to improve both acoustics and performance. In addition, Noctua also introduced the NA-SAVG2 anti-vibration gasket set for using 140 mm fans on water cooling radiators or other applications that benefit from a tighter seal with the fan.<br />
<br />
"Intake applications where fans draw air through obstacles such as grills or perforated panels are notoriously challenging both from an aerodynamic and from an acoustic point of view due to the massive turbulences that are caused by these objects", explains Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "These influx turbulences can have a significant impact on fan acoustics and performance, so we have created the NA-IS1 spacer frames that give customers a simple yet highly effective solution to reduce these turbulences and thereby make fans more efficient in suction type applications."<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SONy0ywlHoRsjVyJ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="650" data-height="433" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/SONy0ywlHoRsjVyJ_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/yJq0PSpnglr3ezWE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="650" data-height="813" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/yJq0PSpnglr3ezWE_thm.jpg" width="104" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300830/noctua-introduces-na-is1-inlet-spacers-for-suction-applications-and-na-savg2-gasket-set">Read full story</a></div>

Acer to be an 8.97% Shareholder of Apacer, Hints at Cooperation
Acer is bidding to buy 11 million equity shares of Apacer, a major DRAM and NAND flash products manufacturer. The shares, valued at NTD 363 million, will make the Taiwanese prebuilt PC and notebooks giant an 8.97% shareholder of Apacer's stock. The announcement put out by Apacer also speaks of an enhancement of "strategic collaborations" between the two companies. This could only mean one thing—that Apacer becomes a supplier of DRAM and NAND flash products to Acer.<br />
<br />
Acer sells a small but significant lineup of SSDs and PC memory products in the DIY retail channel. These products are sourced from BIWIN, an OEM of DRAM and NAND flash products. Will Apacer replace BIWIN as a supplier? We'll have to wait and see. Besides an OEM, Apacer sells its own-branded memory cards, USB flash drives, SSDs, and PC memory modules; besides holding the PC enthusiast brand ZADAK, which sells high-end SSDs and overclocking memory modules.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/a1TCx0zzCWg9O7Oa.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="600" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/a1TCx0zzCWg9O7Oa_thm.jpg" width="416" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Creative Technology today launched Creative Sensemore Air, its latest high-performance true wireless earbuds which allow users to hear more of their surroundings than ever before, without compromising on audio quality. The new Sensemore technology helps to address the oft-annoying inconvenience associated with earbuds - because they are in-ear and block out much of the aural environment, users tend to remove their earbuds in various everyday situations, for example when starting a conversation. This changes with the Creative Sensemore Air, as users are given full control on the level of environmental sounds they want to hear. With Sensemore Mode, which is 5 times more sensitive than Ambient Mode, users can hear much more of speech, and other environmental elements, which are amplified with higher clarity. As a bonus, when set to a higher intensity, it could even benefit folks with mild hearing deficiencies.<br />
<br />
The Ambient Mode can be used when users would like to hear their music well while still being aware of the environment, for example while jogging along a busy street. Conversely, to shut the world out so as to fully immerse in the music, users can rely on the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) Mode. The intensity of all 3 modes is fully adjustable through the handy Creative app.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/orG7IzcbyMHVXjcN.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/orG7IzcbyMHVXjcN_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5p2PbTSQFn8Heo0u.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5p2PbTSQFn8Heo0u_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pFg8sog54gcTn9aU.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pFg8sog54gcTn9aU_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/aRAxdV5Zcn9b8B1d.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/aRAxdV5Zcn9b8B1d_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/VTEHbvd2kr8TQewe.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/VTEHbvd2kr8TQewe_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300822/creative-announces-sensemore-air-true-wireless-earbuds">Read full story</a></div>

Microsoft DirectStorage 1.1 with GPU-accelerated Game Asset Decompression Released
Microsoft formally released the DirectStorage 1.1 API to game developers on Monday, allowing them to take advantage of GPU-accelerated game asset decompression, to help minimize game loading times. DirectStorage establishes a path for GPUs to directly access storage devices on a system. With version 1.1, the API introduces a way by which the PC can use the GPU to decompress game assets. Microsoft is also promoting GDeflate, a new file compression format developed by NVIDIA, which is optimized for highly parallelized decompression techniques, making it suitable for GPUs. NVIDIA, Intel, and AMD, have each responded positively to this development, and rolled out early drivers with DirectStorage 1.1 support, which can be used by game developers or students. The three will add official DirectStorage 1.1 support to their regular driver update channels later. <br />

astragon Entertainment, in collaboration with developer studio Aesir Interactive, releases Police Simulator: Patrol Officers both digitally and at retail for PC and consoles today. Players start their career with the Brighton Police Department to enforce law and order in the streets of the fictive US coastal city of Brighton and get an insight into everyday police work. At the same time as the release, the Urban Terrain Vehicle DLC is also available at a price of 2.99 Euro/2.49 GBP/2.99 USD, which includes a fancy patrol car. Players who have already purchased Police Simulator: Patrol Officers in Early Access or pre-ordered the game will receive the DLC for free.<br />
<br />
Before they start their first shift, players can choose between eight different characters to start their police career with. A variety of challenging tasks await them, with the difficulty and complexity increasing as the police officers climb the career ladder. Initially, they distribute parking tickets on foot, but soon the players receive their first patrol car, are allowed to catch speeders, solve accidents and track down suspects. Particularly experienced officers can eventually even solve robberies and arrest drug dealers. As you play, new interactions, vehicles and precincts are continuously unlocked, making no shift feel like the previous one. In addition, a game mechanic has been implemented that tracks and rates the player's behavior, where bad behavior can quickly lead to dismissal. In addition, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers offers players the possibility to go on patrol in pairs in the online co-op mode and thus keep law and order in Brighton.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ON9fyz8ZGZ5Fbgof.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ON9fyz8ZGZ5Fbgof_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/tOkpMeD1wKb27KiG.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/tOkpMeD1wKb27KiG_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fw70u2oBtkLRLgzN.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fw70u2oBtkLRLgzN_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HuqIvFZ76KmmzeG2.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HuqIvFZ76KmmzeG2_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300958/keep-law-and-order-police-simulator-patrol-officers-available-now-on-pc-playstation-and-xbox">Read full story</a></div>

AMD Launches 4th Gen EPYC "Genoa" Zen 4 Server Processors: 100% Performance Uplift for 50% More Cores
AMD at a special media event titled "together we advance_data centers," formally launched its 4th generation EPYC "Genoa" server processors based on the "Zen 4" microarchitecture. These processors debut an all new platform, with modern I/O connectivity that includes PCI-Express Gen 5, CXL, and DDR5 memory. The processors come in CPU core-counts of up to 96-core/192-thread. There are as many as 18 processor SKUs, differentiated not just in CPU core-counts, but also the way the the cores are spread across the up to 12 "Zen 4" chiplets (CCDs). Each chiplet features up to 8 "Zen 4" CPU cores, depending on the model; up to 32 MB of L3 cache, and is built on the 5 nm EUV process at TSMC. The CCDs talk to a centralized server I/O die (sIOD), which is built on the 6 nm process.<br />
<br />
The processors AMD is launching today are the EPYC "Genoa" series, targeting general purpose servers, although they can be deployed in large cloud data-centers, too. To large-scale cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, AMD is readying a different class of processor, codenamed "Bergamo," which is plans to launch later. In 2023, the company will launch the "Genoa-X" line of processor for technical-compute and HPC applications, which benefit from large on-die caches, as they feature the 3D Vertical Cache technology. There will also be "Siena," a class of EPYC processors targeting the telecom and edge-computing markets, which could see an integration of more Xilinx IP.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KbI8z31e66HWkClw.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1778" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KbI8z31e66HWkClw_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/B62uwAinzC5A7SZO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/B62uwAinzC5A7SZO_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/El94yWorgLqPW5Ze.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/El94yWorgLqPW5Ze_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/dVtxL5mYSM1eaVod.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/dVtxL5mYSM1eaVod_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300936/amd-launches-4th-gen-epyc-genoa-zen-4-server-processors-100-performance-uplift-for-50-more-cores">Read full story</a></div>

Samsung is Considering 27-inch QD-OLED Display Production, to Supply Apple
It appears that the competition is heating up, well, at least when it comes to who is going to be first to launch a 27-inch OLED-type panel, as Samsung is now considering doing its own 27-inch OLED-type panels, following rumours about <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/299524/lg-display-said-to-start-producing-27-inch-w-oled-panels-this-month" target="_blank">LG considering its own 27-inch OLED-type panels</a>. The details are from UBI Research via the Elec and based on what's being reported, Samsung was initially going to release an RGB OLED based 27-inch panel, but the company wasn't quite there research wise. However, Samsung allegedly went for QD-OLED instead and the article claims it's more profitable for Samsung.<br />
<br />
That said, it seems like Samsung will try to win over Apple as its first customer for the panels, rather than launching them under its own brand. The panels are said to be manufactured in a brand new plant using Gen 8 OLED substrates, which means that these panels will be produced in a cutting edge facility. 27-inches also appears to be the smallest size QD-OLED panels we can expect, at least for now, as smaller size panels will use what is referred to as two stack tandem RGB OLED panels. These will be used in notebooks and other smaller devices. Samsung is currently producing single stack RGB OLED panels that are used in phones.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fN9AQRhmcA30i5ln.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="744" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fN9AQRhmcA30i5ln_thm.jpg" width="210" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Most Expensive RTX 4080 Custom Just $50 Shy of the RTX 4090 MSRP: MicroCenter Pricing Leak
The most expensive custom-design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 will be priced at $1,550, putting it just $50 short of the $1,600 baseline MSRP of the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300934/nvidia-rtx-4080-20-30-slower-than-rtx-4090-still-smokes-the-rtx-3090-ti-leaked-benchmarks" target="_blank">much faster</a> RTX 4090, according to a pricing leak of custom-design cards on popular PC components retailer MicroCenter. The most interesting takeaway from this leak is that there will actually be RTX 4080 cards at the NVIDIA-set baseline MSRP of $1,200. These include the GIGABYTE Eagle, ZOTAC Trinity, ASUS TUF Gaming, and PNY XLR8 Verto. NVIDIA appears to be telling its partners to sell at least one custom-design RTX 4080 SKU at the baseline price.<br />
<br />
Most factory-overclocked custom-design RTX 4080 SKUs are within $125 of the $1,200 baseline, with the GIGABYTE Eagle OC priced at $1,240, GIGABYTE Gaming OC at $1,280, MSI Ventus 3X OC at $1,280, and the premium MSI Gaming X Trio at $1,325. The top-tier custom-design cards start here, with the GIGABYTE AORUS Master priced at $1,350, the MSI SUPRIM X (air-cooled) at $1,400, the ZOTAC AMP Extreme AIRO at $1,400, ASUS TUF Gaming OC at $1,500; and the ASUS ROG Strix OC at $1,550, which is just $50 short of the cheapest RTX 4090 (baseline-spec). Will anyone pick the ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4080 O16G over the cheapest RTX 4090 (assuming availability of both)? That's a social experiment to watch out for.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ibmIQiKuM9xvqZ1s.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2846" data-height="1364" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ibmIQiKuM9xvqZ1s_thm.jpg" width="271" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

NVIDIA RTX 4080 20-30% Slower than RTX 4090, Still Smokes the RTX 3090 Ti: Leaked Benchmarks
Benchmarks of NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 4080 (formerly known as the RTX 4080 16 GB) are already out as the leaky taps in the Asian tech forumscape know no bounds. Someone with access to an RTX 4080 sample and drivers on ChipHell forums, put it through a battery of synthetic and gaming tests. The $1,200 MSRP graphics card was tested on 3DMark Time Spy, Port Royal, and games that include Forza Horizon 5, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II, Cyberpunk 2077, Borderlands 3, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.<br />
<br />
The big picture: the RTX 4080 is found to be halfway between the RTX 3090 Ti and the RTX 4090. At stock settings, and in 3DMark Time Spy Extreme (4K), it has 71% the performance of an RTX 4090, whereas the RTX 3090 Ti is 55% that of the RTX 4090. With its "power limit" slider maxed out, the RTX 4080 inches 2 percentage-points closer to the RTX 4090 (73% that of the RTX 4090), and with a bit of manual OC, it adds another 4 percentage-points. Things change slightly with 3DMark Port Royal, where the RTX 4080 is 69% the performance of the RTX 4090 in a test where the RTX 3090 Ti does 58% that of the RTX 4090.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/7stWk0JLw3Vyggs0.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1654" data-height="618" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/7stWk0JLw3Vyggs0_thm.jpg" width="348" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Up48RlPZDP5wydyH.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2000" data-height="863" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Up48RlPZDP5wydyH_thm.jpg" width="301" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/hNhRccD1TNBc9mKB.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2000" data-height="863" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/hNhRccD1TNBc9mKB_thm.jpg" width="301" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300934/nvidia-rtx-4080-20-30-slower-than-rtx-4090-still-smokes-the-rtx-3090-ti-leaked-benchmarks">Read full story</a></div>

Intel Data Center Max GPU "Ponte Vecchio" Implements 16-pin 12VHPWR Connector
The swanky new Intel Data center Max GPU "Ponte Vecchio" is the company's first product to implement the 12+4 pin ATX 12VHPWR power connector, which the company helped design as part of the ATX 3.0 spec. The PCI-Express add-in card (AIC) form-factor variant of the GPU comes with a single 12VHPWR connector that can deliver up to 600 W of power with 100% excursions within small fractions of time (as prescribed in the ATX 3.0 spec). The card elegantly positions the connector at the tail end of the PCB, where while it might obstruct the air intake slightly, it would still ensure that the connectors aren't bent at odd angles. More importantly, the positioning of the connector ensures a bunch of these cards can be installed in 4U server enclosures (without adding 3.5 cm to the Z-height). <br />
<br />
The first GPU maker to implement the 12VHPWR is NVIDIA, with its "Ampere" GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, doubling down on it with the RTX 4090 and soon-to-launch RTX 4080. The connector's implementation heaped bad press over the past few weeks, particularly with the adapter that converts four 8-pin PCIe power connectors to an 12VHPWR; which is allegedly flimsy in the face of aggressive bending for cable-management; with RTX 4090 users on social-media reporting burnt adapters and power connectors on card due to improper mechanical contact from the cable bending/strain. The cable-management standards for servers are different from those of DIY gaming PCs, with many server PSUs still wiring unsleeved "mustard-and-ketchup" cables.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/caqAKMID8vq8HzMr.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2000" data-height="995" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/caqAKMID8vq8HzMr_thm.jpg" width="261" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/BNDWXPjbucTsc86A.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/BNDWXPjbucTsc86A_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mBOHctE6xhdA4yaV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/mBOHctE6xhdA4yaV_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Could See a Tight January 5 Launch Schedule
NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti performance-segment graphics card could see a January 5, 2023 launch (the day on which you can buy one), according to a Wccftech report. The card will be unveiled to the masses on January 3, and reviews of the card could go live on January 4, before product-availability the next day. This would mean that reviewers could get the card well in advance, and would probably be testing it over the Christmas break in order to meet the review date, before flying off to the 2023 International CES, which opens to the public on January 5, and to the press a couple of days earlier.<br />
<br />
The GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is reportedly a <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300872/cancelled-nvidia-geforce-rtx-4080-12gb-rebadged-as-rtx-4070-ti-bound-for-january" target="_blank">rebadged RTX 4080 12 GB</a>, which was supposed to launch alongside the RTX 4080 16 GB on November 16; before NVIDIA pulled the plug on the SKU in the face of backlash on social media and the press over its controversial naming that could confuse buyers, given its significantly different hardware specs to those of the RTX 4080 16 GB. With the first batch of RTX 4080 12 GB cards probably already boxed and ready to ship, if not shipped already, NVIDIA is issuing re-branding guidelines to its board partners, so they could do their best at pasting stickers, a template of which is below. It remains to be seen if NVIDIA sticks to the $900 MSRP for the SKU.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/H3pd3wlm7kaJrkFu.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="613" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/H3pd3wlm7kaJrkFu_thm.jpg" width="254" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

The SiSoft SANDRA user database has just been pinged by two new unreleased AMD Ryzen 7000 series "Zen 4" processor models, the Ryzen 7 7700 and Ryzen 5 7600. These chips have the same 8-core/16-thread and 6-core/12-thread core-counts as the 7700X and 7600X, respectively; but with lower clock speeds, and more importantly, a lower TDP of just 65 W. This would put their package power tracking (PPT) limit around 90 W, down from the 105 W and 140 W of the their "X" siblings. <br />
<br />
The 7600 and 7700 come with a base frequency of 3.80 GHz, as detected by SANDRA. Every other specification, such as cache size, is the unchanged from the 7600X or 7700X. There's no word on the availability, but it's likely that AMD would debut these chips in the OEM channel first, especially given that the 7600 has the potential to undercut sales of the embattled 7600X. Things could get interesting as Intel debuts the lower end of its 13th Gen Core i5 series, which are rumored to be based on the "Alder Lake" microarchitecture, and 6P+4E SKUs.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/8rjlmk3oQAU8B5re.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1355" data-height="479" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/8rjlmk3oQAU8B5re_thm.jpg" width="368" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/v4AOXKcMQsNBxeQl.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1348" data-height="480" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/v4AOXKcMQsNBxeQl_thm.jpg" width="365" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) Alphacool Apex Thermal Grease Now in 20g, 50g or 100g Containers
Alphacool expands the portfolio for thermal pastes and offers Apex Thermal Grease also in containers with 20 g, 50 g or 100 g content. The offer is intended for users who have to frequently resort to the use of thermal paste. The container has a large opening, is uncomplicated to handle and protects the thermal paste reliably and in the long term from drying out. The new containers are also very interesting in terms of price. When purchasing the 20 g can, one already achieves a saving of 25% compared to the quantity in the 4 g applicators required for this.<br />
<br />
With a thermal conductivity of 17 W/mK, Apex is one of the best-performing thermal pastes on the market. However, this is not only due to the high thermal conductivity. Aspects such as viscosity and durability play an equally important role. Alphacool was able to optimize the viscosity so that the thermal grease is particularly suitable for high contact pressures and is still easy to apply. The Apex Thermal Grease is electrically non-conductive and non-caustic. The contained nano particles have a very low thermal impedance and manage to close even microscopic gaps between cooler and heatspreader. Disruptive air pockets are a thing of the past, as are excessively high temperatures.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/dnCrYoc8t1gCQOKL.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1592" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/dnCrYoc8t1gCQOKL_thm.jpg" width="207" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300927/alphacool-apex-thermal-grease-now-in-20g-50g-or-100g-containers">Read full story</a></div>

(PR) SK hynix Announces the World's first 1anm 8.5 Gbps LPDDR5x DRAM with HKMG Process
SK hynix has developed LPDDR5X (Low Power Double Data Rate 5X), the world's first-ever mobile DRAM with an integrated HKMG (High-K Metal Gate) process, which was just recently introduced to the market. The LPDDR5X boasts the industry's highest energy-efficiency as SK hynix succeeded in reducing power consumption by 25% compared to the previous generation and operates in the ultra-low voltage range of 1.01 V to 1.12 V set by the JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council).<br />
For the LPDDR, which is also called a mobile DRAM, having a low power consumption is its greatest asset, just as its standard name—LP (Low Power)—suggests. As power is limited in mobile devices, it's necessary to reduce power consumption as much as possible to extend the usage time.<br />
<br />
This is why lowering power consumption is just as important as increasing operating speed. LPDDR5X was the first among mobile DRAMs to integrate the HKMG process and see improved performance and a reduction in power consumption, essentially killing two birds with one stone. As the power consumption of DRAM gets lowered by LPDDR5X, mobile devices can be used for a longer time with a single charge. The reduction in power consumption of such products can subsequently lead to a reduction in the power used by consumers, which is in line with the value of SK hynix's ESG-centered business management.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/BBAryG2wMgvRtwKL.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="670" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/BBAryG2wMgvRtwKL_thm.jpg" width="194" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/RaGv0Bw7gz2C6RAT.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="670" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/RaGv0Bw7gz2C6RAT_thm.jpg" width="194" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300926/sk-hynix-announces-the-worlds-first-1anm-8-5-gbps-lpddr5x-dram-with-hkmg-process">Read full story</a></div>

Solidigm is Working on 192-layer 3D QLC With Improved Endurance, 61.44 TB SSD
Solidigm—the company that Intel sold its SSD business to—held a tech day last week where the company shared some details about its future roadmaps. The company appears to be focusing on 3D QLC NAND and its 192-layer product promises both larger drives, but also enhanced endurance for QLC NAND. For example, Solidigm's 30.72 TB SSD is promising a PBW of around 32 PB (Petabyte) endurance. This is using what the company calls QLC Essential Endurance NAND. <br />
<br />
However, its QLC Value Endurance NAND is what will enable the 61.44 TB drive, which is said to offer around 65 PB write endurance, but it should be noted that this is at 16 KB aligned data or during other types of light data writes. Neither type of NAND is destined for consumer applications as of now, as Solidigm is only targeting E1, E3 and U.2 form factors. Regardless, this appears to be a huge step forward for 3D QLC NAND and Solidigm is hoping that its upcoming drives will be able to replace mechanical drives in the enterprise market space. On top of this, Solidigm also claims to offer better throughput and latency compared to its competitors, but we're still looking at SATA type level SSD performance for the IOPS. The first drives with the new 192-layer 3D QLC NAND are expected to be available sometime early next year.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/c504xD8MYd8oCf8P.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="950" data-height="537" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/c504xD8MYd8oCf8P_thm.jpg" width="230" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/N0rlzldMEqjNrSZ1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="950" data-height="534" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/N0rlzldMEqjNrSZ1_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/UuRh1KdHvkusJXeQ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="950" data-height="537" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/UuRh1KdHvkusJXeQ_thm.jpg" width="230" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

AMD 4th Generation EPYC "Genoa" Processors Benchmarked
Yesterday, AMD announced its latest addition to the data center family of processors called <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300936/amd-launches-4th-gen-epyc-genoa-zen-4-server-processors-100-performance-uplift-for-50-more-cores" target="_blank">EPYC Genoa</a>. Named the 4th generation EPYC processors, they feature a Zen 4 design and bring additional I/O connectivity like PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and CXL support. To disrupt the cloud, enterprise, and HPC offerings, AMD decided to manufacture SKUs with up to 96 cores and 192 threads, an increase from the previous generation's 64C/128T designs. Today, we are learning more about the performance and power aspects of the 4th generation AMD EPYC Genoa 9654, 9554, and 9374F SKUs from 3rd party sources, and not the official AMD presentation. Tom's Hardware published a heap of benchmarks consisting of rendering, compilation, encoding, parallel computing, molecular dynamics, and much more.<br />
<br />
In the comparison tests, we have AMD EPYC Milan 7763, 75F3, and Intel Xeon Platinum 8380, a current top-end Intel offering until Sapphire Rapids arrives. Comparing 3rd-gen EPYC 64C/128T SKUs with 4th-gen 64C/128T EPYC SKUs, the new generation brings about a 30% increase in compression and parallel compute benchmarks performance. When scaling to the 96C/192T SKU, the gap is widened, and AMD has a clear performance leader in the server marketplace. For more details about the benchmark results, go <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-4th-gen-epyc-genoa-9654-9554-and-9374f-review-96-cores-zen-4-and-5nm-disrupt-the-data-center/5" target="_blank">here to explore</a>. As far as comparison to Intel offerings, AMD leads the pack as it has a more performant single and multi-threaded design. Of course, beating the Sapphire Rapids to market is a significant win for team red, so we are still waiting to see how the 4th generation Xeon stacks up against Genoa.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/qIru9EaTPZ4OKXsK.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/qIru9EaTPZ4OKXsK_thm.jpg" width="173" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

AMD Launches 4th Gen EPYC "Genoa" Zen 4 Server Processors: 100% Performance Uplift for 50% More Cores
AMD at a special media event titled "together we advance_data centers," formally launched its 4th generation EPYC "Genoa" server processors based on the "Zen 4" microarchitecture. These processors debut an all new platform, with modern I/O connectivity that includes PCI-Express Gen 5, CXL, and DDR5 memory. The processors come in CPU core-counts of up to 96-core/192-thread. There are as many as 18 processor SKUs, differentiated not just in CPU core-counts, but also the way the the cores are spread across the up to 12 "Zen 4" chiplets (CCDs). Each chiplet features up to 8 "Zen 4" CPU cores, depending on the model; up to 32 MB of L3 cache, and is built on the 5 nm EUV process at TSMC. The CCDs talk to a centralized server I/O die (sIOD), which is built on the 6 nm process.<br />
<br />
The processors AMD is launching today are the EPYC "Genoa" series, targeting general purpose servers, although they can be deployed in large cloud data-centers, too. To large-scale cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, AMD is readying a different class of processor, codenamed "Bergamo," which is plans to launch later. In 2023, the company will launch the "Genoa-X" line of processor for technical-compute and HPC applications, which benefit from large on-die caches, as they feature the 3D Vertical Cache technology. There will also be "Siena," a class of EPYC processors targeting the telecom and edge-computing markets, which could see an integration of more Xilinx IP.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KbI8z31e66HWkClw.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1778" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KbI8z31e66HWkClw_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/B62uwAinzC5A7SZO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/B62uwAinzC5A7SZO_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/El94yWorgLqPW5Ze.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/El94yWorgLqPW5Ze_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/dVtxL5mYSM1eaVod.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/dVtxL5mYSM1eaVod_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/300936/amd-launches-4th-gen-epyc-genoa-zen-4-server-processors-100-performance-uplift-for-50-more-cores">Read full story</a></div>

It appears that the competition is heating up, well, at least when it comes to who is going to be first to launch a 27-inch OLED-type panel, as Samsung is now considering doing its own 27-inch OLED-type panels, following rumours about <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/299524/lg-display-said-to-start-producing-27-inch-w-oled-panels-this-month" target="_blank">LG considering its own 27-inch OLED-type panels</a>. The details are from UBI Research via the Elec and based on what's being reported, Samsung was initially going to release an RGB OLED based 27-inch panel, but the company wasn't quite there research wise. However, Samsung allegedly went for QD-OLED instead and the article claims it's more profitable for Samsung.<br />
<br />
That said, it seems like Samsung will try to win over Apple as its first customer for the panels, rather than launching them under its own brand. The panels are said to be manufactured in a brand new plant using Gen 8 OLED substrates, which means that these panels will be produced in a cutting edge facility. 27-inches also appears to be the smallest size QD-OLED panels we can expect, at least for now, as smaller size panels will use what is referred to as two stack tandem RGB OLED panels. These will be used in notebooks and other smaller devices. Samsung is currently producing single stack RGB OLED panels that are used in phones.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fN9AQRhmcA30i5ln.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="744" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fN9AQRhmcA30i5ln_thm.jpg" width="210" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) ASUS Unveils TUF Gaming and Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X Memory
ASUS today announced new versions of the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and the Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards that now feature GDDR6X memory for greater performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has been an excellent sweet spot between price and performance for the past generation of graphics cards, and it has now been improved. The GDDR6X memory further boosts the capabilities of the 3060 Ti and expands the options available to the discerning PC DIY builder. ASUS is also updating the GeForce RTX 3060 with a new model featuring 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM to add even more possibilities for upgrading and assembling.<br />
<br />
The ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GDDR6X features the same triple Axial Tech fan design, solid aluminium backplate, and 2.7-slot form factor as its predecessor, as well as support for NVIDIA G-SYNC and GPU Tweak III. Supplementing that rock-solid foundation is the introduction of GDDR6X ultra-high-speed and error-correcting VRAM, setting up the GPU to deliver more frames per second than the previous iteration.

AMD "Zen 4" Based Ryzen Threadripper "Storm Peak" Surfaces with 96-core/192-thread Config
AMD will build "Zen 4" based Ryzen Threadripper processors in an attempt to meet competition from Intel, which is rumored to launch HEDT processors of its own based on "Sapphire Rapids." While Intel's chip tops out at 60-core/120-thread and has a constellation of <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/299390/intel-outs-first-xeon-scalable-sapphire-rapids-benchmarks-on-package-accelerators-help-catch-up-with-amd-epyc" target="_blank">task-specific hardware-accelerators</a>, AMD will arm its processors with raw CPU core-count, going as high up as 96-core/192-thread. The company has assigned the codename "Storm Peak" for these chips.<br />
<br />
The Ryzen Threadripper 7000-series "Storm Peak" processor engineering samples surfaced on the Einstein@Home user database. As many as three OPNs have surfaced, "AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000884-21_N" and "AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000884-20_Y," which are 96-core/192-thread; and the "AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000454-20_Y," which is 64-core/128-thread. "Storm Peak" is likely just a variation of EPYC "Genoa," geared for higher frequencies.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/evTLhksuLoWFtcFH.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1417" data-height="885" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/evTLhksuLoWFtcFH_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/301220/amd-zen-4-based-ryzen-threadripper-storm-peak-surfaces-with-96-core-192-thread-config">Read full story</a></div>

Intel XeSS Plugin Released for Unreal Engine
Intel released the XeSS Unreal Engine plugin, letting game developers integrate the performance enhancement technology with their Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5 powered games, simulators, and 3D visualization applications. The plugin lets Unreal Engine take advantage of XeSS not just on Intel Arc "Alchemist" GPUs, where they benefit from the accelerated XMX code-path; but also AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, where the technology takes advantage of the slower yet functional DP4a code-path. XeSS is technically a second-generation super-resolution technology that Intel claims is on-par with AMD FSR 2.x and NVIDIA DLSS 2. Integrating it is as straightforward as adding AMD FSR support. Those interested can grab the plugin from the GitHub source link, below.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DB7nXpgRrKFP2e9x.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="783" data-height="553" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DB7nXpgRrKFP2e9x_thm.jpg" width="184" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

The number of devices, such as WiFi 6 access points and NAS, with multi-gig capabilities and speed is increasing. Also, the use of modern applications, increasing prevalence of BYOD and usage of more and more video requires companies to have more bandwidth to ensure smooth network traffic that just can't be handled by Gigabit connectivity anymore. Even the smallest firms are doing big business when it comes to the sheer volume of data that their networks are expected to handle, and this load will continue to grow as applications become more advanced.<br />
<br />
To help businesses cost-effectively expand their networks with multi-gigabit speeds, we've introduced a couple of new 5-port Multi-Gigabit Unmanaged Switches, MS105 and MS305. The MS105 and MS305 Multi-Gigabit Ethernet switches come with five 2.5G ports in a metal case that can be placed on a desk or mounted on a wall. These switches are energy efficient, built to last, and rigorously tested to provide the reliability businesses need.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/kfaOpu8nGuXnTixH.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/kfaOpu8nGuXnTixH_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Zb8C25zrGOHNJwCV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="410" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Zb8C25zrGOHNJwCV_thm.jpg" width="406" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/bkOxNbAVVMlZZJ6r.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="408" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/bkOxNbAVVMlZZJ6r_thm.jpg" width="408" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/301191/netgear-launches-two-unmanaged-multi-gigabit-ethernet-switches">Read full story</a></div>

This card features a factory-fitted all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooling solution. Unlike some other similar cards, such as the MSI SUPRIM Liquid X, the Neptune OC-V relies on a 100% liquid-cooled configuration, wherein a the cold-plate is the only source of cooling for the GPU, memory, and VRM; there are no additional fans on the card. The cooling solution involves a waterblock that pulls heat from all key components on the PCB, which is connected to a 360 mm x 120 mm radiator that comes with three 120 mm RGB fans. <br />
<br />
The card is 25.3 cm in length, strictly 2 slots thick, and 17 cm in height. Silvery aluminium makes up the cooler shroud and backplate. The coolant tubing comes with white Nylon sleeving. The aluminium radiator has a white frame, as do the three fans. The fan impellers are frosted to act like RGB diffusers. The Neptune OC-V comes with factory-overclocked speeds of 2640 MHz GPU Boost (compared to 2505 MHz reference). The most interesting aspect is the power limit, which is now set at 470 W (compared to 320 W reference).<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9v4egI71q6tUoGeu.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/9v4egI71q6tUoGeu_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cI5kvTQHE0DlNaxd.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/cI5kvTQHE0DlNaxd_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/eN6g5TyWk6a1KwDg.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/eN6g5TyWk6a1KwDg_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5nkqCswMsCOO92m3.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5nkqCswMsCOO92m3_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

NVIDIA Plans GeForce RTX 4060 Launch for Summer 2023, Performance Rivaling RTX 3070
NVIDIA is reportedly planning to ramp its GeForce "Ada" generation into the high-volume performance segment by Summer 2023, with the introduction of the GeForce RTX 4060. The card is expected to launch somewhere around June, 2023. The card will be based on the 4 nm "AD106" silicon, the 4th chip based on the "Ada Lovelace" graphics architecture. Wolstame. a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks as Lenovo's Legion gaming desktop product manager, predicts that the RTX 4060 performance could end up matching that of the current RTX 3070 at a lower price-point. <br />
<br />
This should make it a reasonably fast graphics card for 1440p AAA gaming with high-ultra settings, and ray tracing thrown in. What's interesting is if NVIDIA is expected to extend the DLSS 3 frame-generation feature to even this segment of graphics cards, which means a near-100% frame rate uplift can be had. Other predictions include a board power expected to be in the range of 150-180 W, and a 10% generational price-increase, which would mean that the RTX 4060 would have a launch-price similar to that of the RTX 3060 Ti (USD $399).<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fn8z2B6XeNuETbHZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1112" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fn8z2B6XeNuETbHZ_thm.jpg" width="175" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

For those of you familiar with CaseLabs, the demise of the company in 2018 was most likely a sad time when it comes to the history of PC component manufacturers. However, it appears that the company is back in business, under new management and in a new location. CaseLabs was originally from California in the US, but the new owners have moved the company to Sweden. In fact, the key person is said to be a CaseLabs enthusiast by the name of Emil Rytterstedt who bought the rights to the CaseLabs brand in 2021, as well as what appears to be the rights for all of the products that the original company made. For now, the CaseLabs website is back up and running, but the company isn't selling any products, yet.<br />
<br />
Based on the information available on the CaseLabs website, the company will initially offer spare parts for existing CaseLabs products, as well as offer support and customer service through it. This will be followed by at least some of the cases that CaseLabs used to offer, which will see some updates, especially when it comes to the I/O options and some other additions such as vertical GPU brackets. However, the longer term plan is to offer new products under the CaseLabs brand, which will apparently start with a smaller form factor case. All the new products will apparently be made in Sweden, so expect CaseLabs products to remain in the premium price segment. For those in the US, the company has already mentioned that the prices will be more expensive than in the past, due to shipping costs. Expect things to kick off sometime in early 2023 when it comes to actual product availability.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/MoKA2VETEgCAv68E.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/MoKA2VETEgCAv68E_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

PowerColor Shows Off the Radeon RX 7900 Red Devil on Social Media
Although we're only some three weeks away from the launch of AMD's Radeon RX 7000-series cards, it has been pretty quiet from its partners. That said, PowerColor has finally revealed more than just a tiny detail of its upcoming Radeon RX 7900 Red Devil via a post on Facebook. The company didn't reveal any specs and it's unclear if this will be an RX 7900 XT or an RX 7900 XTX based card.<br />
<br />
What we can see from the picture is that it's a triple-slot card with air being vented out the rear, something AMD's reference cards don't do. It's obviously a triple-fan card and PowerColor has equipped it with some LED lights as one would expect. Not much else is revealed by the single picture of the card, due to the angle the card sits at, so we don't know what kind of ports to expect, or what kind of power connectors the card will have. Hopefully PowerColor will reveal more details before the official launch on the 13th of December.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/6N5MJKVmHufKYyb6.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="1200" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/6N5MJKVmHufKYyb6_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/OqPw3n2NpiS5sX0p.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="860" data-height="1170" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/OqPw3n2NpiS5sX0p_thm.jpg" width="96" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) ASUS Unveils TUF Gaming and Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X Memory
ASUS today announced new versions of the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and the Dual GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards that now feature GDDR6X memory for greater performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has been an excellent sweet spot between price and performance for the past generation of graphics cards, and it has now been improved. The GDDR6X memory further boosts the capabilities of the 3060 Ti and expands the options available to the discerning PC DIY builder. ASUS is also updating the GeForce RTX 3060 with a new model featuring 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM to add even more possibilities for upgrading and assembling.<br />

AMD "Zen 4" Based Ryzen Threadripper "Storm Peak" Surfaces with 96-core/192-thread Config
AMD will build "Zen 4" based Ryzen Threadripper processors in an attempt to meet competition from Intel, which is rumored to launch HEDT processors of its own based on "Sapphire Rapids." While Intel's chip tops out at 60-core/120-thread and has a constellation of <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/299390/intel-outs-first-xeon-scalable-sapphire-rapids-benchmarks-on-package-accelerators-help-catch-up-with-amd-epyc" target="_blank">task-specific hardware-accelerators</a>, AMD will arm its processors with raw CPU core-count, going as high up as 96-core/192-thread. The company has assigned the codename "Storm Peak" for these chips.<br />
<br />
The Ryzen Threadripper 7000-series "Storm Peak" processor engineering samples surfaced on the Einstein@Home user database. As many as three OPNs have surfaced, "AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000884-21_N" and "AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000884-20_Y," which are 96-core/192-thread; and the "AMD Eng Sample: 100-000000454-20_Y," which is 64-core/128-thread. "Storm Peak" is likely just a variation of EPYC "Genoa," geared for higher frequencies.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/evTLhksuLoWFtcFH.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1417" data-height="885" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/evTLhksuLoWFtcFH_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/301220/amd-zen-4-based-ryzen-threadripper-storm-peak-surfaces-with-96-core-192-thread-config">Read full story</a></div>

Intel XeSS Plugin Released for Unreal Engine
Intel released the XeSS Unreal Engine plugin, letting game developers integrate the performance enhancement technology with their Unreal Engine 4 and Unreal Engine 5 powered games, simulators, and 3D visualization applications. The plugin lets Unreal Engine take advantage of XeSS not just on Intel Arc "Alchemist" GPUs, where they benefit from the accelerated XMX code-path; but also AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, where the technology takes advantage of the slower yet functional DP4a code-path. XeSS is technically a second-generation super-resolution technology that Intel claims is on-par with AMD FSR 2.x and NVIDIA DLSS 2. Integrating it is as straightforward as adding AMD FSR support. Those interested can grab the plugin from the GitHub source link, below.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DB7nXpgRrKFP2e9x.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="783" data-height="553" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DB7nXpgRrKFP2e9x_thm.jpg" width="184" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Colorful Releases iGame GeForce RTX 4080 Neptune OC-V Graphics Card with 470W Power Limit and AIO Cooling
Colorful formally released its flagship custom-design graphics card based on the GeForce RTX 4080 "Ada" launched earlier this week, the iGame RTX 4080 Neptune OC-V. This card features a factory-fitted all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooling solution. Unlike some other similar cards, such as the MSI SUPRIM Liquid X, the Neptune OC-V relies on a 100% liquid-cooled configuration, wherein a the cold-plate is the only source of cooling for the GPU, memory, and VRM; there are no additional fans on the card. The cooling solution involves a waterblock that pulls heat from all key components on the PCB, which is connected to a 360 mm x 120 mm radiator that comes with three 120 mm RGB fans. <br />
<br />
The card is 25.3 cm in length, strictly 2 slots thick, and 17 cm in height. Silvery aluminium makes up the cooler shroud and backplate. The coolant tubing comes with white Nylon sleeving. The aluminium radiator has a white frame, as do the three fans. The fan impellers are frosted to act like RGB diffusers. The Neptune OC-V comes with factory-overclocked speeds of 2640 MHz GPU Boost (compared to 2505 MHz reference). The most interesting aspect is the power limit, which is now set at 470 W (compared to 320 W reference).<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9v4egI71q6tUoGeu.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/9v4egI71q6tUoGeu_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cI5kvTQHE0DlNaxd.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/cI5kvTQHE0DlNaxd_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/eN6g5TyWk6a1KwDg.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/eN6g5TyWk6a1KwDg_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5nkqCswMsCOO92m3.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5nkqCswMsCOO92m3_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

NVIDIA Plans GeForce RTX 4060 Launch for Summer 2023, Performance Rivaling RTX 3070
NVIDIA is reportedly planning to ramp its GeForce "Ada" generation into the high-volume performance segment by Summer 2023, with the introduction of the GeForce RTX 4060. The card is expected to launch somewhere around June, 2023. The card will be based on the 4 nm "AD106" silicon, the 4th chip based on the "Ada Lovelace" graphics architecture. Wolstame. a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks as Lenovo's Legion gaming desktop product manager, predicts that the RTX 4060 performance could end up matching that of the current RTX 3070 at a lower price-point. <br />
<br />
This should make it a reasonably fast graphics card for 1440p AAA gaming with high-ultra settings, and ray tracing thrown in. What's interesting is if NVIDIA is expected to extend the DLSS 3 frame-generation feature to even this segment of graphics cards, which means a near-100% frame rate uplift can be had. Other predictions include a board power expected to be in the range of 150-180 W, and a 10% generational price-increase, which would mean that the RTX 4060 would have a launch-price similar to that of the RTX 3060 Ti (USD $399).<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fn8z2B6XeNuETbHZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1112" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fn8z2B6XeNuETbHZ_thm.jpg" width="175" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) Projected YoY Growth Rate of Server Shipments for 2023 Has Been Revised Down to 2.8% as Inventory Adjustments Continue
Based on the latest data and research, TrendForce has further corrected down the projected YoY growth rate of whole server shipments for 2023 to 2.8%. Three factors are behind this revision. First, lead time has started to return to its usual length for most orders related to server components from 3Q23 onward. Seeing this, server OEMs and cloud service providers (CSPs) have also begun to correct the component mismatch issue by lowering demand for items that are in excess while maintaining a constant inventory level for items that are still in tight supply. This development, in turn, has reduced the flow of server orders going to ODMs. Second, the wave of demand that was generated earlier from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is dissipating. Hence, expansion activities have cooled off noticeably for services such as video streaming, e-commerce, etc. Among CSPs, Meta, Google, and ByteDance (TikTok) have lowered their server procurement quantities for next year. Lastly, the global economic outlook has remained fairly negative, so companies across most industry sectors have formulated a more conservative expenditure plan and scaled back IT-related spending for next year.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/eQYWkimJ6Gm0fGg1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="640" data-height="360" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/eQYWkimJ6Gm0fGg1_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/301347/projected-yoy-growth-rate-of-server-shipments-for-2023-has-been-revised-down-to-2-8-as-inventory-adjustments-continue">Read full story</a></div>

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6X to Replace Standard Model with GDDR6
NVIDIA recently updated its product stack with an 8 GB 128-bit GDDR6 variant of the GeForce RTX 3060 (originally 12 GB 192-bit GDDR6), and the RTX 3060 Ti with faster 19 Gbps 256-bit GDDR6X memory (originally 14 Gbps 256-bit GDDR6). We're getting to learn that the new RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X variant is designed to replace the older GDDR6 variant. NVIDIA's add-in card (AIC) partners are reportedly winding down orders of the original RTX 3060 Ti in favor of the newer GDDR6X variant. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the GDDR6X variant isn't that its memory bandwidth is 35% higher than that of the original RTX 3060 Ti; but that it sells at the same price.<br />
<br />
The new GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6X is based on the 8 nm "GA104" silicon, and has the same core-configuration as the original RTX 3060 Ti, with 4,864 CUDA cores, 152 Tensor cores, 38 RT cores, 152 TMUs, and 80 ROPs; the same GPU boost frequency of 1665 MHz, and interestingly, the same typical board power of 200 W. What's changed is the switch to 19 Gbps GDDR6X memory compared to the original's 14 Gbps GDDR6, which results in a memory bandwidth of 608 GB/s, compared to the original's 448 GB/s.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/IWLpauuHu1fek57J.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1024" data-height="707" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/IWLpauuHu1fek57J_thm.jpg" width="188" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Although Morris Chang is no longer in charge of the day to day business at TSMC, the founder of the company is still getting his hands dirty. Chang attended the APEC Economic Leaders Meeting last week, as part of Taiwan's delegation and was questioned by the media about TSMC's future plans. The specific question was about TSMC's Arizona fab, which will initially produce chips using a 5 nm node. The US$12 billion plant is scheduled to kick off production at some point in 2024, by which time the 5 nm node should be a commonly used node rather than close to cutting edge. <br />
<br />
When questioned about the future of the Arizona fab, Morris Chang answered that it will be moving to a 3 nm node, which is currently TSMC's most cutting edge node, that has gone into volume production earlier this year with th N3 node, which is set to be followed by the N3E node. According to Chang, there's interest by several countries to have TSMC set up fabs there, but apparently this is not something TSMC is considering at the moment. One potential reason for this would be a suitable labour force, something that has already proven to be tough for the Arizona fab.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ZuicaLsEKczwxCM4.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1024" data-height="711" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ZuicaLsEKczwxCM4_thm.jpg" width="187" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

LG Launches the UltraGear OLED With 240 Hz Refresh Rate
The first flat OLED gaming monitor is here and it's unsurprisingly from LG and part of its UltraGear range of gaming products. Although it's being touted as a 27-inch display, the screen size is only 26.5-inches, which is a bit unusual. The resolution is 2560 x 1440, with a pixel pitch of 110.8 PPI and the refresh rate goes up to 240 Hz. The OLED panel is capable of delivering 1.07 billion colours and delivers a colour gamut of 98.5 percent of the DCI-P3 standard. LG claims the display has a GtG response time of 0.03 ms which is so far unheard of on a consumer display. LG doesn't supply a brightness rating, nor does the UltraGear OLED appear to have any kind of HDR certification, but supports HDR10, although considering it's an OLED panel, this shouldn't be much of a concern. <br />
<br />
There's support for FreeSync Premium and VRR, with the display being G-Sync compatible as well. Other gaming related features include the typical things you'd find on most gaming displays today, such as an FPS counter, a built in crosshair and of course some RGB lighting features. Connectivity wise the UltraGear OLED comes with two unspecified HDMI ports and one unspecified DisplayPort input, as well as one upstreams USB 3.0 port (Type-B) and two downstreams USB 3.0 ports (Type-A). The monitor also has an S/PDIF out and a headset jack, which suggests that it does audio over USB. Finally there's a barrel plug for the 19 V power brick. The display also has support for DTS HP:X where HP stands for headphones, but there are no built in speakers. The stand supports tilt, height, swivel and pivot adjustments and can be adjusted up to 11 cm in height. LG is asking US$999.99 for the UltraGear OLED, which might be a bit more than what most people would be willing to pay for it, but it's at least a first step towards a range of new OLED gaming monitors.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/0CcsorwUCWkVEbcp.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="816" data-height="764" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/0CcsorwUCWkVEbcp_thm.jpg" width="139" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/si7hf2H9rsBiE25I.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="758" data-height="750" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/si7hf2H9rsBiE25I_thm.jpg" width="131" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/nmrY3SlLmgWu5KsV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="390" data-height="762" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/nmrY3SlLmgWu5KsV_thm.jpg" width="67" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/JV2761hL851eIvRv.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1446" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/JV2761hL851eIvRv_thm.jpg" width="196" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

AMD Ryzen 7000 Series Processors Get their First Round of Price Cuts, 7950X at $574
AMD Ryzen 7000-series "Zen 4" desktop processors got their first round of price-cuts on leading retailer Newegg, as the company has a hard time justifying their launch-prices in the wake of Intel's 13th Gen Core "Raptor Lake" and declining demand in the PC components market. The new pricing sees the top Ryzen 9 7950X 16-core/32-thread chip priced at USD $574, down from $700 (an 18% price-cut). The 12-core/24-thread Ryzen 9 7900X sees its price go down from $550 to $474 (down 14%). <br />
<br />
The 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 7 7700X gets a $50 price-cut sending its price down from $400 to roughly $350. The 6-core/12-thread Ryzen 5 7600X gets a similar $50 cut, which means the chip can now be had for roughly $250, down from its $300 launch price. All four SKUs face stiff competition from the aggressively priced 13th Gen Core SKUs, which include the i9-13900K, the i7-13700K, and the i5-13600K. Prices of Socket AM5 motherboards are another big put-off as they're a major contributor to platform costs, which is restricted to DDR5 memory. The Intel platform currently includes entry-level chipset options, as well as motherboards with DDR4 support.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/21XIsSq8Jy7Yqspo.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2139" data-height="895" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/21XIsSq8Jy7Yqspo_thm.jpg" width="311" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) EK Releases Water Blocks for Zotac RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 AMP AIRO and Trinity
EK, the premium liquid cooling gear manufacturer, is now introducing the ultimate water cooling solution for Zotac AMP Extreme AIRO and Trinity GeForce RTX 4080 and 4090 graphics cards. Zotac's RTX 4090 cards get a water block with a passive backplate or a cooling solution with an active backplate that's sandwiching the card between two water blocks for the best possible cooling results. Zotac's RTX 4080 AMP Extreme and Trinity graphics cards get only a standard water block solution with a passive backplate and no active backplate.<br />
<br />
The EK-Quantum Vector² AMP/Trinity RTX 4090 and EK-Quantum Vector² AMP/Trinity RTX 4080 are single-package liquid cooling solutions consisting of a Vector² series water block and a black-anodized aluminium backplate. As with the previous 30-series Vector² water blocks, its aesthetics are dominated by minimalistic straight lines and the backplate coming around the side of the GPU to cover the PCB completely.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/IjjVDl6l7HmIFBFY.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="1067" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/IjjVDl6l7HmIFBFY_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SmGLwIOlCcnp7ZW8.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="1067" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/SmGLwIOlCcnp7ZW8_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mqIRkvDzmZs2LdpI.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="675" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/mqIRkvDzmZs2LdpI_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/301301/ek-releases-water-blocks-for-zotac-rtx-4090-and-rtx-4080-amp-airo-and-trinity">Read full story</a></div>
