(PR) Airvine Announces New "WaveTunnel" Product Line to Meet Rapidly Growing Indoor Broadband Requirements
Airvine, the first company to develop a multi-Gigabit-speed wireless backhaul system for indoor connectivity, today announced the general availability of its WaveTunnel product line. The shoebox-sized module mounts on ceilings and other interior high points to provide high speed connectivity for the ever-expanding menu of enterprise applications, whether IT (Information Tech) or OT (Operational Tech). WaveTunnel systems, which can be installed in hours, fill the broadband gap that exists within many large interior spaces by extending LAN reach or upgrading the performance of older 1 Gb/s Ethernet CAT 5 cables. <br />
<br />
WaveTunnel operates in the interference-free 60 GHz band, where there is also plenty of spectrum to provide on first release a multi-Gb/s backbone connectivity capability. Typically, 60 GHz systems operate on a line-of-sight (LOS) basis. WaveTunnel, however, can penetrate most indoor walls as well as "beam steer" around corners, making it a true non-LOS 60 GHz system. This breakthrough capability greatly simplifies and expedites network set-up and operational readiness.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fkmoUGEKqgPC0KzV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="869" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fkmoUGEKqgPC0KzV_thm.jpg" width="191" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304774/airvine-announces-new-wavetunnel-product-line-to-meet-rapidly-growing-indoor-broadband-requirements">Read full story</a></div>

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Possibly Maxes Out AD107, NVIDIA's Smallest Ada Silicon
NVIDIA's mid-range, high-volume graphics card based on the GeForce "Ada" graphics architecture, the GeForce RTX 4060, a 60-class product, could feature specs that make it possible for NVIDIA to carve it out either with a maxed out 5 nm AD107 silicon, or a heavily cut-down AD106. Kopite7kimi, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks, says that the RTX 4060 has specs which align with the full-spec AD107, with 3,072 CUDA cores across 24 streaming multiprocessors (SM), 96 Tensor cores, 96 TMUs, an unknown ROP count, and 8 GB of 18 Gbps GDDR6 memory. The memory bus width is hard to predict with this generation. The GPU's on-die L2 cache is 24 MB in size. The card has a typical graphics power (TGP) of 115 W, making it possible to build cards with just one 6-pin PCIe power connector.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/NfTQGbiBlY52iH20.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="588" data-height="311" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/NfTQGbiBlY52iH20_thm.jpg" width="246" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Silicon Motion's SM2504XT PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD Controller Specs Leak
One of the major issues with M.2 based NVMe SSDs today is the excessive heat they output, part of the reason most of them run so hot is because of the older fabrication node they're made on. Most current PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD controllers are built on a 12 nm node of some kind, but based on data out of IT Home in the PRC, we now have details of Silicon Motion's SM2504XT PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD controller, which appears to be one of the first, if not the first, to be made on a 7 nm node.<br />
<br />
Although it's not mentioned specifically who Silicon Motion's manufacturing partner is, it's most likely going to be TSMC, as Silicon Motion is a Taiwanese company. The SM2504XT will be a mainstream 4-channel controller, but it'll support NAND flash rated at up to 3600 MT/s, which is a step up from any other currently announced NVMe SSD controller. It also supports the NVMe 2.0 protocol and will have a PCIe 5.0 x4 host system interface. The new controller is expected to launch some time in September this year.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pYhL6k3nwj9ZDZ5b.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1356" data-height="664" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pYhL6k3nwj9ZDZ5b_thm.jpg" width="265" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) Bigscreen Introduces Beyond—the World's Smallest VR Headset
Bigscreen today unveiled Bigscreen Beyond, the world's smallest VR headset. Weighing just 127 grams and measuring less than 1-inch at its thinnest point, Beyond has an unprecedented form factor that is 6X lighter than competing VR devices.

<br />
"As passionate VR enthusiasts, we built the VR headset we wanted for ourselves," said Darshan Shankar, Bigscreen's Founder & CEO. "Today's leading VR headsets have doubled in weight compared to headsets from 2016. We built Beyond because we felt VR was too heavy, bulky, and uncomfortable. We invented new technologies to increase comfort, and developed ultra-high-end components like OLED microdisplays and pancake optics to increase immersion. To deliver the best software experience for watching movies in Bigscreen, we also had to build the best hardware with Bigscreen Beyond."<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/jPZ5PqFpACSN27qk.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/jPZ5PqFpACSN27qk_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/OoPP8QZB615pK9d1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/OoPP8QZB615pK9d1_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ULWoQcTcbyltRpnv.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ULWoQcTcbyltRpnv_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pgYPhOd63Ylno7L5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pgYPhOd63Ylno7L5_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304754/bigscreen-introduces-beyond-the-worlds-smallest-vr-headset">Read full story</a></div>

ASUS ROG Strix X670E-I Chipset Sits on a M.2 PCB
AMD's high-end X670E motherboard chipset combines two Promontory 21 chips working together to deliver a single solution. With regularly-sized ATX motherboards, having two chips to form a chipset is fine, as there is much room on the PCB. However, with Mini-ITX motherboards, packing two Promontory 21 chips is difficult as the PCB area is limited. To combat this, ASUS introduced an interesting solution to solve the problem and allowed the company to ship the high-end X670E chipset inside a Mini-ITX form factor. Thanks to UNIKO's Hardware's findings, we look at the exciting solution ASUS used to solve this problem.<br />
<br />
Instead of two Promontory 21 chips side by side, one is placed on the motherboard directly, while the other stands vertically attached by M.2 PCIe slot. Below, the chipset's pictures and the highlight show how it looks disassembled.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QxkMvFWTbawOxLNe.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/QxkMvFWTbawOxLNe_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SU3e3nH6GPheItXn.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="996" data-height="732" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/SU3e3nH6GPheItXn_thm.jpg" width="177" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/8EILdIb6w4mjzXRQ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/8EILdIb6w4mjzXRQ_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

The PC industry has been hit hard by the current market conditions and economic downturns, as the entire industry has seen sales of new PCs drop to new lows. Equally so, the PC motherboard makers have experienced a crash in sales, where collectively, they delivered ten million units less in 2022 compared to 2021. Thanks to the information by DigiTimes, we have information that major motherboard makers, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock, have seen their sales plummet to new lows and reflect how much of a drop the market experienced in the middle of economic uncertainty that the year 2022 brought.<br />
<br />
In 2021, ASUS delivered more than 18 million motherboard units; in 2022, it is down to 13.6 million, representing a 25% difference. GIGABYTE shipped 11 million units in 2021, whereas in 2022, the company delivered around 9.5 million motherboards. GIGABYTE has experienced the smallest drop with "only" 14% lower sales. MSI used to deliver 9.5 million motherboards in 2021, and in 2022 its sales plummeted by 42% to 5.5 million units. The worst drop in sales is the one by ASRock, where the company saw its sales go from around 6 million units in 2021 to just 2.7 million units in 2022. This is the report's most significant recorded drop, equaling 55% lower sales in 2022.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/83xplHWz3NrTmu5d.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="667" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/83xplHWz3NrTmu5d_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

NVIDIA GeForce 528.49 Driver Doesn't Support RTX Virtual Super Resolution in Chrome 110 Yet
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge 110 introduced RTX virtual super resolution (VSR) support. This would come as a boost to browser-based games, as well as next-generation webpages that use raster graphics objects that can be rendered at a lower resolution than the user's display resolution, and upscaled at minimal hardware-resource cost. When our Chrome browsers and GeForce drivers updated last week, we couldn't get VSR to work. The latest GeForce 528.49 WHQL drivers released on February 8 do not support RTX VSR, yet. Driver support is now expected to be added from GeForce R530-series drivers.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/OtqigiDqReVLvlYF.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/OtqigiDqReVLvlYF_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Microsoft to Standardize RGB Control within Windows 11 Settings
Soon, you'll no longer have to juggle between several bloated apps to control the RGB lighting of your various peripherals from different brands. Microsoft is set to standardize RGB and aesthetic lighting control within Windows 11. Released as a near-future update to the operating system, the new "Lighting" control seamlessly blends within the Personalization settings, within the Settings app of Windows 11. The Lighting section lists out all your hardware with controllable lighting, be it single-color or RGB; and lets you adjust their brightness, colors, and lighting presets. You can also coordinate their color and lighting patterns to match Windows and its other apps (for example, as ambient lighting). The standardized RGB control should significantly reduce the memory usage compared to having various brand apps running in the background; as well as CPU utilization. Currently, the new Lighting settings can be found in the Windows Insider build 25295.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HlCBTdbERicjv6nZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1643" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HlCBTdbERicjv6nZ_thm.jpg" width="214" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/aQQAWOaG4gmipaPe.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1643" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/aQQAWOaG4gmipaPe_thm.jpg" width="214" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Micron Getting Ready to Reduce Headcount at Idaho Fab
Back in December, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra announced that the company would be laying off around 10 percent of its staff and according to the Idaho Statesman, Micron will start at its Boise, Idaho fab. This is despite the company investing US$15 billion in a new leading-edge fab there. That said, it doesn't look like Boise will see any huge cuts in staff, as Micron hasn't issued a WARN notice, which is required when a company is planning on laying off more than 500 people within a 30-day period.<br />
<br />
Micron issued a statement earlier this week, saying that its layoffs are a combination of "voluntary attrition, workforce reductions and reduced external hiring," which tends to mean that third party contractors will bear the brunt of the layoffs. Micron is also said to be cutting executive salaries, while also suspending bonuses for employees across the board. Further cost reductions include a halted share buyback program and a reduced production output, the latter due to lower demand. Micron has some 49,000 employees globally, with some 6,000 located in Idaho. The company expects to have completed its job cuts by the end of this month.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/57FFxrwpW2I59m1L.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="563" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/57FFxrwpW2I59m1L_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) Alphacool Introduces Eiswolf 2 AiO for RTX 4080/4090 and RX 7900XT/XTX GPUs
Eiswolf 2 AiO - now also for custom designs of RTX 4080/4090 and RX 7900XT/XTX GPUs! Alphacool presents additional innovative solutions for cooling Nvidia's Geforce RTX 4080 and 4090 and AMD's RX 7900XT/XTX graphics cards.<br />
<br />
The enormous waste heat of the new graphics card generation is excellently dissipated with these coolers. The very good water flow and the large cooling surface are due to the particularly filigree fin structure. The jet plate with revised inflow engine also distributes the water perfectly on the cooling fins. The complete chrome plating of the cooler not only provides resistant protection against acids, scratches and damage, but also achieves a beautiful homogeneity and remarkable shine. The Aurora design of the cooler is kept visually calm and simple. This is evident not only in the cooler's design, but also in the wonderfully even lighting achieved via digitally addressable RGB LEDs.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/d7qgvOI4IPVCfcPj.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/d7qgvOI4IPVCfcPj_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/45QAwGKBKYxVuwX0.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/45QAwGKBKYxVuwX0_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DWsj6w04HkQhurJQ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DWsj6w04HkQhurJQ_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/60yzlSzfrU17Ng9r.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/60yzlSzfrU17Ng9r_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304857/alphacool-introduces-eiswolf-2-aio-for-rtx-4080-4090-and-rx-7900xt-xtx-gpus">Read full story</a></div>

ASUS Launches the Pro WS W790 Series of Workstation Motherboards
Yes, you read that correctly, ASUS didn't launch just one, but two W790 based LGA-4677 motherboards today, namely the Pro WS W790-Sage SE and the Pro WS W790-Ace. The main difference here is that the Sage supports up to seven PCIe 5.0 x16 slots—one is a x8 slot electrically—and is designed for the Xeon W-3400 series, whereas the Ace supports five PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and is in turn designed for the Xeon W-2400 series. One downside of these boards is that they might not fit in a standard ATX case, as the Sage follows the SSI-EEB form factor and the Ace the SSI-CEB form factor, both of which are a fair bit wider than an ATX motherboard and with different mounting holes. <br />
<br />
The Pro WS W790-ACE also sports eight DDR5 DIMM slots that operate in quad-channel and supports up to 2 TB of RAM if ECC R-DIMMs are used. Furthermore, ASUS has kitted out the Ace with a pair of PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, one 2280 and one 22110 slot, four SATA ports, three slim SAS ports, a Marvell 10 Gbps and an Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet interface, a single USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps USB Type-C port around the back and an internal header for a second, case mounted port. Finally the board has four USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps Type-A ports around the back and a header for a further two., as well as eight USB 2.0 ports around the back and audio courtesy of a Realtek S1220A based solution with optical S/PDIF out.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5KisqF3jQv2irisu.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5KisqF3jQv2irisu_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ta0VnQGGlLFBwR3v.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ta0VnQGGlLFBwR3v_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/uoKO6YLGKPwVNm8H.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="696" data-height="464" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/uoKO6YLGKPwVNm8H_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/xSbprJ5OMGQwQ5pi.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="696" data-height="464" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/xSbprJ5OMGQwQ5pi_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ns0O3Ahlu66Yo5kg.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="696" data-height="451" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ns0O3Ahlu66Yo5kg_thm.jpg" width="201" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DVncoAuxIZeVeIy0.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="696" data-height="464" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DVncoAuxIZeVeIy0_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304831/asus-launches-the-pro-ws-w790-series-of-workstation-motherboards">Read full story</a></div>

Intel Xeon W "Sapphire Rapids" Workstation Processor Lineup Leaked
Ahead of its launch, the SKU table of Intel's Xeon W "Sapphire Rapids" HEDT/Workstation-class processor lineup was leaked to the web. The lineup is horizontally split between the Xeon W-3400 series, and the Xeon W-2400 series. The W-2400 series come in rather modest CPU core-counts ranging between 6-core/12-thread and 24-core/48-thread. These chips are characterized by a 4-channel DDR5 memory interface (8 sub-channels); and a 64-lane PCIe Gen 5 I/O. The W-3400 series, on the other hand, ranges between 12-core/24-thread and 56-core/112-thread, nearly maxing out the core-count of the "Sapphire Rapids" MCM. These chips feature a massive 8-channel (16 sub-channel) DDR5 memory interface, and a 112-lane PCIe Gen 5 I/O. Prices for the lineup start at a surprisingly low $360 for the base W-2400 series SKU; while the top W-2400 series SKU is priced at $2,189. The W-3400 series ranges between $1,189 for the base 12-core/24-thread part, and goes all the way up to $5,889 for the top 56-core part. All models feature ECC memory support.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/B4V6ecZbqzyS6rGY.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1542" data-height="865" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/B4V6ecZbqzyS6rGY_thm.jpg" width="232" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

PSA: Corrosion Happening on ASUS ROG Z690 Formula VRM Block, Company Remains Silent
I've been using the ASUS ROG Z690 Formula motherboard in all my <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/?category=Watercooling" target="_blank">recent CPU water block reviews</a>, and also <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/quick-look-ek-quantum-momentum-vrm-bridge-rog-maximus-z690-formula" target="_blank">detailed it here</a> for a specific EK VRM bridge block article. While the board has reached end-of-life status at ASUS internally, the company's customers are only just starting to face problems. The board's unique selling point is that it comes with an optional CrossChill EK III hybrid VRM thermal solution, which is effectively a waterblock for your VRMs to keep them cool at all times. Based on ASUS's official advertisement of "nickel-plated" and EK's involvement, everybody assumed that the material used is nickel-plated copper, but it turns out it's something different, most probably nickel-plated aluminium.<br />
<br />
This is not the first time that ASUS has failed the material mix in their watercooling products. The first generation ROG Formula motherboard VRM blocks used plated-aluminium that introduced corrosion when added to a watercooling loop that has copper/brass/steel components elsewhere. Mixing metals in a watercooling loop is a bad idea and will result in galvanic corrosion from the different electrochemical potential of the metals. This can result in the block etching off and flakes/chunks getting in the loop to create an increasingly worse reaction with the coolant used. This can lead to blocked channels and even pump failure due to the corroded materials jamming the impeller.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KqPjj7JGSUePELd2.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="792" data-height="485" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KqPjj7JGSUePELd2_thm.jpg" width="212" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ITZMWQrp3slMC8uR.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ITZMWQrp3slMC8uR_thm.jpg" width="98" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/31gtOSvEsuK1IDDJ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/31gtOSvEsuK1IDDJ_thm.jpg" width="98" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/sJvSFzld9HFQGmah.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="722" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/sJvSFzld9HFQGmah_thm.jpg" width="98" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/OWDk373xBqAJauVa.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="935" data-height="2000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/OWDk373xBqAJauVa_thm.jpg" width="61" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304785/psa-corrosion-happening-on-asus-rog-z690-formula-vrm-block-company-remains-silent">Read full story</a></div>

Last month, Philips introduced a pair of <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/303453/philips-introduces-new-40-inch-ultrawide-pc-monitors" target="_blank">40-inch ultrawide monitors</a> targeting office work, both with a resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels. Now the company has introduced a pair of larger 45-inch displays for the same target market, but with a wider 5120 x 1440 pixel resolution and a 32:9 aspect ratio. The 45B1U6900C and 45B1U6900CH are largely identical as with the 40-inch models, with the differentiator being that the latter has a built-in 5 Megapixel webcam with support for Windows Hello. The other difference being that the 45B1U6900C sports one USB-C and one USB-B port for the KVM functionality, whereas the 45B1U6900CH is equipped with a pair of USB-C ports.<br />
<br />
The display panel is of VA type with a refresh rate of up to 75 Hz and a typical response time of 4 ms. It has a brightness of 450 cd/m² and a typical contrast ratio of 3000:1. It's also DisplayHDR 400 certified. Outside of the USB inputs, these displays have two HDMI 2.0 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4, with the USB-C ports on both models offering DP Alt mode, 10 Gbps data speeds and USB PD support up to 100 W. Both models have four downstream USB-A ports, one which supports fast charging and an additional USB-C downstream port that delivers up to 15 W of power. There's also Gigabit Ethernet and an audio jack, as well as a pair of built in 5 W speakers, making these displays decent docking stations at work. The stand is height adjustable and the display can be tilted and swivelled, but not rotated, for obvious reasons. No pricing is available at the moment, but both models should be available shortly.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/LhyWVBAi4GAieVyE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/LhyWVBAi4GAieVyE_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DUDC9h7wekBwF0aG.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DUDC9h7wekBwF0aG_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ftLEZbkI9Ld6ja9W.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ftLEZbkI9Ld6ja9W_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HviKkfFyxjyrb3Ev.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HviKkfFyxjyrb3Ev_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Y8qbO7alrzhSaQmS.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Y8qbO7alrzhSaQmS_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/rSAnCG3fYyRMuxUK.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/rSAnCG3fYyRMuxUK_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) Noctua Presents CPU Coolers for Intel's LGA-4677 Xeon Platform
The new NH-U14S DX-4677, NH-U12S DX-4677, NH-U9 DX-4677 and NH-D9 DX-4677 4U are dedicated, customised solutions for Intel's professional LGA4677 platform (Sapphire Rapids), which makes them an ideal fit for both 4th generation Xeon Scalable CPUs (Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze) and W-3400 or W-2400 series Xeon processors for workstations such as the w9-3495X, w7-3465X or w7-2495X. Whereas the large 14 cm NH-U14S DX-4677 and 12 cm NH-U12S DX-4677 are an excellent choice for tower-style cases and thus lend themselves to use in high-performance quiet workstations, the smaller NH-D9 DX-4677 4U and NH-U9 DX-4677 fit 4U cases, which makes them perfect for more compact workstations as well as 4U class rack-mount servers that need to run as quietly as possible.<br />
<br />
While the NH-U9's direction of airflow is perpendicular to the long axis of the LGA4677 socket, the NH-D9's direction of airflow is parallel to the long axis of the LGA4677 socket. Depending on the orientation of the socket(s) on the motherboard, choosing either the NH-U9 or de NH-D9 enables system builders to align the airflow of the cooler(s) with the exhaust fans of the chassis and thereby ensure optimal system performance. Thanks to their compact footprint, both models are ideal for building dual socket setups with motherboards where larger coolers may interfere with each other.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Tp2vuQBv8vKMnvhm.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="650" data-height="496" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Tp2vuQBv8vKMnvhm_thm.jpg" width="170" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304940/noctua-presents-cpu-coolers-for-intels-lga-4677-xeon-platform">Read full story</a></div>

(PR) Micron Set to Lay Off an Additional Five Percent of its Workforce, While Slashing Capex
It appears things are tougher at Micron than expected, as according to Boise State Public Radio, the company is looking at cutting an additional five percent of its workforce. Back in December, Micron announced it was planning to lay off around 10 percent of its global workforce, which at the time sat at around 49,000 employees, but it appears that cut wasn't enough, as company spokesman Tate Tran has confirmed the total headcount reduction is expected to around 15 percent, although that is for the entire year of 2023. This suggests that there might be several stages of layoffs, unless things improve and demand for Micron's products pick up.<br />
<br />
The company is also lowering its capex, not just for 2023, but also for 2024, although the company is expecting more on building new fabs. Micron has already reduced its wafer starts, for both DRAM and NAND flash by around 20 percent. This is all taking place while the company is slowing down its tech node transitions and as such, its 1-gamma note will be moved to 2025. This means that Micron will be stuck at 232-layer 3D TLC NAND for longer than initially planned, which could lead to Micron losing market to its competitors, specifically SK Hynix and Samsung in this case, while allowing other competitors to catch up. Micron will reports is financial Q2 '23 results at the end of March, with previous quarters results indicating that Micron is expecting a drop in revenue of up to US$300 million compared to the previous quarter.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/xIj3HIxD2k77QD1n.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/xIj3HIxD2k77QD1n_thm.jpg" width="260" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

ASML's Ex-Employee in China Allegedly Stole Confidential Information
The Netherlands-based ASML has reportedly launched a comprehensive investigation into the company's branch in China following reports that one of its former employees allegedly stole confidential information. According to Bloomberg, the employee in question was part of a product life cycle management (PLM) program for ASML's advanced lithography solutions. Specifically, the employee worked for the Teamcenter software division responsible for lithography tool management. This software was used to create digital twins of scanners and other tools and allowed information to be shared among the company's employees. In ASML's case, the software contained all the confidential information about the scanners and how they work, which makes it a target for IP theft. We do not know if this is a China-sponsored action to boost its domestic lithography tool development; however, ASML has issued a statement below.<blockquote><small>ASML</small>We have experienced unauthorized misappropriation of data relating to proprietary technology by a (now) former employee in China. We promptly initiated a comprehensive internal review. Based upon our initial findings we do not believe that the misappropriation is material to our business. However, as a result of the security incident, certain export control regulations may have been violated. ASML has therefore reported the incident to relevant authorities. We are implementing additional remedial measures in light of this incident.</blockquote><div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/22xMNOu4Y9bk81tU.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/22xMNOu4Y9bk81tU_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

ASUS Launches the Pro WS W790 Series of Workstation Motherboards
Yes, you read that correctly, ASUS didn't launch just one, but two W790 based LGA-4677 motherboards today, namely the Pro WS W790-Sage SE and the Pro WS W790-Ace. The main difference here is that the Sage supports up to seven PCIe 5.0 x16 slots—one is a x8 slot electrically—and is designed for the Xeon W-3400 series, whereas the Ace supports five PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and is in turn designed for the Xeon W-2400 series. One downside of these boards is that they might not fit in a standard ATX case, as the Sage follows the SSI-EEB form factor and the Ace the SSI-CEB form factor, both of which are a fair bit wider than an ATX motherboard and with different mounting holes. <br />
<br />
The Pro WS W790-ACE also sports eight DDR5 DIMM slots that operate in quad-channel and supports up to 2 TB of RAM if ECC R-DIMMs are used. Furthermore, ASUS has kitted out the Ace with a pair of PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, one 2280 and one 22110 slot, four SATA ports, three slim SAS ports, a Marvell 10 Gbps and an Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet interface, a single USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 20 Gbps USB Type-C port around the back and an internal header for a second, case mounted port. Finally the board has four USB 3.2 Gen 2 10 Gbps Type-A ports around the back and a header for a further two., as well as eight USB 2.0 ports around the back and audio courtesy of a Realtek S1220A based solution with optical S/PDIF out.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5KisqF3jQv2irisu.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5KisqF3jQv2irisu_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ta0VnQGGlLFBwR3v.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ta0VnQGGlLFBwR3v_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/uoKO6YLGKPwVNm8H.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="696" data-height="464" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/uoKO6YLGKPwVNm8H_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/xSbprJ5OMGQwQ5pi.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="696" data-height="464" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/xSbprJ5OMGQwQ5pi_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ns0O3Ahlu66Yo5kg.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="696" data-height="451" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ns0O3Ahlu66Yo5kg_thm.jpg" width="201" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DVncoAuxIZeVeIy0.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="696" data-height="464" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DVncoAuxIZeVeIy0_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304831/asus-launches-the-pro-ws-w790-series-of-workstation-motherboards">Read full story</a></div>

SK Hynix ran into issues earlier this month at one of its DRAM production fabs, due to impurities in zirconium high-k materials used in the production. The materials were supplied by SK Trichem and due to the impurities, the equipment at SK Hynix fab ended up leading to increased pressure in some of the manufacturing equipment and forced the production to be shut down. All the equipment at the fab had to be cleaned and some even replaced due to the impurities in the material.<br />
<br />
The zirconium high-k material is deposited at the atomic level, atop the capacitors of the DRAM, as a precursor. Any impurities in such a material would lead to failed DRAM chips, but apparently there was no damage to the production in this case, according to SK Hynix. The company will be ordering replacement material from two other suppliers for the time being and SK Trichem should be supplying a fresh batch by the end of the month.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DcC2HnTPtmt74fZ2.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1300" data-height="867" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DcC2HnTPtmt74fZ2_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) Server DRAM Will Overtake Mobile DRAM in Supply in 2023 and Comprise 37.6% of Annual Total DRAM Bit Output, Says TrendForce
Since 2022, DRAM suppliers have been adjusting their product mixes so as to assign more wafer input to server DRAM products while scaling back the wafer input for mobile DRAM products. This trend is driven by two reasons. First, the demand outlook is bright for the server DRAM segment. Second, the mobile DRAM segment was in significant oversupply during 2022. Moving into 2023, the projections on the growth of smartphone shipments and the increase in the average DRAM content of smartphones remain quite conservative. Therefore, DRAM suppliers intend to keep expanding the share of server DRAM in their product mixes. According to TrendForce's analysis on the distribution of the DRAM industry's total bit output for 2023, server DRAM is estimated to comprise around 37.6%, whereas mobile DRAM is estimated to comprise around 36.8%. Hence, server DRAM will formally surpass mobile DRAM in terms of the portion of the overall supply within this year.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/t0qfNjO7gLRDf2pV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="601" data-height="334" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/t0qfNjO7gLRDf2pV_thm.jpg" width="234" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304997/server-dram-will-overtake-mobile-dram-in-supply-in-2023-and-comprise-37-6-of-annual-total-dram-bit-output-says-trendforce">Read full story</a></div>

Intel Publishes Sorting Library Powered by AVX-512, Offers 10-17x Speed Up
Intel has recently updated its open-source C++ header file library for high-performance SIMD-based sorting to support the AVX-512 SIMD instruction set. Extending the capability of regular AVX2 support, the sorting functions now implement 512-bit extensions to offer greater performance. According to Phoronix, the NumPy Python library for mathematics that underpins a lot of software has updated its software base to use the AVX-512 boosted sorting functionality that yields a fantastic uplift in performance. The library uses AVX-512 to vectorize the quicksort for 16-bit and 64-bit data types using the extended instruction set. Benchmarked on an Intel Tiger Lake system, the NumPy sorting saw a 10-17x increase in performance.<br />
<br />
Intel's engineer Raghuveer Devulapalli changed the NumPy code, which was merged into the NumPy codebase on Wednesday. Regarding individual data types, the new implementation increases 16-bit int sorting by 17x and 32-bit data type sorting by 12-13x, while float 64-bit sorting for random arrays has experienced a 10x speed up. Using the x86-simd-sort code, this speed-up shows the power of AVX-512 and its capability to enhance the performance of various libraries. We hope to see more implementations of AVX-512, as AMD has joined the party by placing AVX-512 processing elements on Zen 4.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/uOItlqXgHRZBc2zR.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="800" data-height="420" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/uOItlqXgHRZBc2zR_thm.jpg" width="248" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

AMD's upcoming Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor will bring 16 cores and 32 threads along with 16 MB of L2 cache and 128 MB of L3 cache for 144 MB of 3D V-cache present on the package. Today, we get to see it in action for the first time in benchmarks like Blender for 3D content creation and Geekbench 5 for synthetic benchmarks, where we get to compare the scores to the already existing models. In Blender, the new AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D scores 558.59 points, while the regular Ryzen 9 7950X scores 590.28 points. This represents a 5.4% regression from the original model; however, we are yet to see how other content creation benchmarks suit the new CPU.<br />
<br />
For Geekbench 5 synthetics, the upcoming Ryzen 9 7950X3D scores 2,157 points in the single-core score and 21,841 points in the multi-core score. The regular Ryzen 9 7950X can reach around 2246 points for single-core and 25,275 points for multi-core score, which is relatively faster than the new cache-enhanced Ryzen 9 7950X3D design. Of course, some of these benchmark results show that the 4.2 GHz base frequency of Ryzen 9 7950X3D plays a significant role in the overall performance comparison, given that the regular Ryzen 9 7950X is set to a 4.5 GHz base clock. Both designs share the same 5.7 GHz boost speed, so we have yet to see more benchmarks showing other differences induced by larger cache sizes.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/K0yBIrqgTPBzkC6I.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/K0yBIrqgTPBzkC6I_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Adding to the BOXER-6451-ADP's suitability to smaller deployment spaces is its innovative new heat dissipation framework, which has seen AAEON replace the tubular heat pipe typically used to conduct heat from a PC's CPU to its heatsink with a flattened pipe to both increase its conduction area and accelerate heat transfer. This enables the system to maintain thermal regulation during periods of high workloads.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mCJ5pFcokcSc3ckx.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="608" data-height="356" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/mCJ5pFcokcSc3ckx_thm.jpg" width="222" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/TYgO3UHLqdSC92FC.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="592" data-height="340" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/TYgO3UHLqdSC92FC_thm.jpg" width="226" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304990/aaeon-unveils-boxer-6451-adp-industrial-pc">Read full story</a></div>

AMD RDNA4 Architecture to Build on Features Relevant to Gaming Performance, Doesn't Want to be Baited into an AI Feature Competition with NVIDIA
AMD's next-generation RDNA4 graphics architecture will retain a design-focus on gaming performance, without being drawn into an AI feature-set competition with rival NVIDIA. David Wang, SVP Radeon Technologies Group; and Rick Bergman, EVP of Computing and Graphics Business at AMD; gave an interview to Japanese tech publication 4Gamers, in which they dropped the first hints on the direction which the company's next-generation graphics architecture will take. <br />
<br />
While acknowledging NVIDIA's movement in the GPU-accelerated AI space, AMD said that it didn't believe that image processing and performance-upscaling is the best use of the AI-compute resources of the GPU, and that the client segment still hasn't found extensive use of GPU-accelerated AI (or for that matter, even CPU-based AI acceleration). AMD's own image processing tech, FSR, doesn't leverage AI acceleration. Wang said that with the company introducing AI acceleration hardware with its RDNA3 architecture, he hopes that AI is leveraged in improving gameplay—such as procedural world generation, NPCs, bot AI, etc; to add the next level of complexity; rather than spending the hardware resources on image-processing.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ik3gds8msId4U8wm.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="225" data-height="225" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ik3gds8msId4U8wm_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304981/amd-rdna4-architecture-to-build-on-features-relevant-to-gaming-performance-doesnt-want-to-be-baited-into-an-ai-feature-competition-with-nvidia">Read full story</a></div>

NVIDIA Readying 10GB, 12GB, and 16GB Variants of RTX 4070? GIGABYTE Thinks So
NVIDIA is possibly readying three memory-based variants of the upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 "Ada" performance-segment graphics card, suggests a GIGABYTE leak. The company put up a game bundle information page on its website, which inadvertently leaked the three RTX 4070 variants in its "eligibility" section; so this is slightly more credible than a case of GIGABYTE anticipating NVIDIA SKUs with the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) in its regulatory filings. The leak mentions three distinct SKUs—RTX 4070 10 GB, RTX 4070 12 GB, and RTX 4070 16 GB. The predecessors of the RTX 4070 tended to be NVIDIA's bestselling graphics cards each generation, next to the xx60 series. <br />
<br />
The billion-dollar question hence would be exactly how NVIDIA segments the three SKUs—whether it stops at just memory size and memory bus width; or whether it will also tinker with core-configuration, and possibly even base one of the three SKUs on a physically smaller silicon, such as the AD106. The "RTX 4070" rumored to be a single SKU until now, was expected to be carved out of the AD104, with 5,888 out of 7,680 CUDA cores being enabled. NVIDIA faced stiff criticism from the media and gamers for such segmentation for its RTX 4080 16 GB and RTX 4080 12 GB, with the company being forced to cancel the market-release of the latter, and relaunch it under the name RTX 4070 Ti.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Rc1eZTXtQxBATUzB.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1536" data-height="569" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Rc1eZTXtQxBATUzB_thm.jpg" width="351" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

ASUS Launches 300 Hz 27-inch WQHD ROG Strix Gaming Monitor with DisplayHDR 600
For those that find a 270 Hz refresh rate a bit on the laggy side when gaming at 2560 x 1440, ASUS has updated its ROG Strix series of monitors with the XG27AQMR model. The R on the end of the model name denotes the higher refresh rate, as well as support for DisplayHDR 600 over the previous model in the series. Although the two monitors are said to be using a Fast IPS panel, the new model has a 1 ms Grey to Grey response time, whereas the older model is rated at 0.5 ms.<br />
<br />
All the gaming features you'd expect to find are of course included, such are FreeSync Premium Pro and G-Sync compatibility, ELMB which can be combined with FreeSync and various other ASUS specific features such as GameFast Input technology and GameVisual. The inputs haven't changed from the previous model in the series either, which means there's one DP 1.4 port and two HDMI 2.0 ports, as well as a USB-B input and two USB-A ports, all supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds, or 5 Gbps. The stand supports tilt, swivel, pivot and height adjustment. No word on pricing, but the previous model retails for around US$650, so we'd expect a small price premium on top of that for the higher refresh rate and improved HDR support.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/BPfDkcqK4g6U0o0u.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="964" data-height="808" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/BPfDkcqK4g6U0o0u_thm.jpg" width="155" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/yLVC8e1eWN4nPjVD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="952" data-height="840" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/yLVC8e1eWN4nPjVD_thm.jpg" width="147" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/4EPno6zwjcsZ83wr.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="486" data-height="1030" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/4EPno6zwjcsZ83wr_thm.jpg" width="61" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/VFZGsB9laBsUc89V.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1016" data-height="434" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/VFZGsB9laBsUc89V_thm.jpg" width="304" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/kqYjp4jV96Qaxb1Y.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1292" data-height="884" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/kqYjp4jV96Qaxb1Y_thm.jpg" width="190" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) Marvell and AWS Collaborate to Enable Cloud-First Silicon Design
Marvell Technology, Inc., a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, announced today that it has selected Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) as its cloud provider for electronic design automation (EDA). A cloud-first approach helps Marvell to rapidly and securely scale its service on the world's leading cloud, rise to the challenges brought by increasingly complex chip design processes, and deliver continuous innovation for the expanding needs across the automotive, carrier, data center, and enterprise infrastructure markets it serves. The work extends the longstanding relationship between the two companies—Marvell is also a key semiconductor supplier for AWS, helping the company support the design and rapid delivery of cloud services that best meet customers' demanding requirements.<br />
<br />
EDA refers to the specialized and compute-intensive processes used in chip making and is a critical piece of Marvell's R&D. Over the years, the number of transistors on an integrated chip has increased exponentially. Each advance in chip design calls for a calculated application of software modules overseeing logic design, debugging, component placement, wire routing, optimization of time and power consumption, and verification. Due to the computationally intensive nature of EDA workloads, it is no longer cost-effective or timely to run EDA on premises. By powering its EDA with AWS, Marvell leverages an unmatched portfolio of services including secure, elastic, high-performance compute capacity in the cloud to solve challenges around speed, latency, security of IP, and data transfer.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Z4HQEZy28kDKncue.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1157" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Z4HQEZy28kDKncue_thm.jpg" width="157" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305082/marvell-and-aws-collaborate-to-enable-cloud-first-silicon-design">Read full story</a></div>

Gigabyte's Aorus Gen5 10000 2TB PCIe 5.0 SSD Pricing Appears Online
It looks like Gigabyte might be the first company to offer a PCIe 5.0 SSD for sale to major markets outside of Japan, since no other brand appears to have launched such a product at the time of this news post. The <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/304475/gigabyte-formally-launches-aorus-gen5-10000-series-nvme-ssds" target="_blank">Aorus Gen5 10000</a> was launched around two weeks ago, but is currently listed as being on backorder at both Newegg and Amazon in the US. Currently only the 2 TB version is listed and it's coming in at about the same cost as two equivalent PCIe 4.0 drives. <br />
<br />
We're not sure if the backorder price of US$339.99 on Newegg is the actual retail price, but considering a 2 TB version of WD's Black SN850X costs US$159.99, it doesn't seems like the very slight performance increase the Aorus Gen5 10000 will bring to the table is going to be worth the asking price. Then again, Gigabyte's SSDs are overpriced on Newegg compared to competing products and the Aorus Gen4 7000s Premium, which features the same heatsink as the Aorus Gen5 10000, retails for US$281.99 on Newegg. Amazon didn't list any pricing as yet.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/AntpNmEDEz6orZRZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1863" data-height="1052" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/AntpNmEDEz6orZRZ_thm.jpg" width="230" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) XMG Introduces PRO and FOCUS Laptops with i9-13900HX and RTX 4070
With the new PRO and the FOCUS (E23), XMG introduces two laptop series on a similar hardware basis: Both feature Intel's Core i9-13900HX and NVIDIA graphics cards up to the GeForce RTX 4070. While the PRO 15 and PRO 17 are slightly thinner as gaming workstations and boast more extensive connectivity, the FOCUS scores at a more affordable price and is not only available in 15.6 and 17.3-inch versions, but also in a 16-inch format. For the laptops originally designed as an entry-level series, the hardware upgrades mean a significant upgrade: the FOCUS series moves closer to the PRO laptops.<br />
<br />
The key components found in the new XMG PRO 15 and PRO 17 as well as the XMG FOCUS 15, FOCUS 16 and FOCUS 17 are almost identical. All laptops employ Intel's Core i9-13900HX with 24 cores (8 P-cores, 16 E-cores) and 32 threads. The freely configurable graphics card options each include NVIDIA's new, DLSS-3-capable GeForce RTX 4050 (FOCUS only) as well as 4060 and 4070 (FOCUS and PRO) with a maximum graphics power rating of up to 140 watts (115 watts TGP plus 25 watts Dynamic Boost 2.0). However, since the clock behaviour and the actual power consumption of the GPUs in the new generation are subject to much more restrictive, application-specific specifications from NVIDIA, the maximum values are only achieved in synthetic stress tests such as Furmark - according to the official requirements of the graphics chip manufacturer.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KlZiO86H2WxEBNRG.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1843" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KlZiO86H2WxEBNRG_thm.jpg" width="250" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Lz7IeEkbO21nGRQy.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Lz7IeEkbO21nGRQy_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pJ0S6sbxJR3bZ8Zl.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pJ0S6sbxJR3bZ8Zl_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/TsbnxvrvvIYCD5kE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/TsbnxvrvvIYCD5kE_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305067/xmg-introduces-pro-and-focus-laptops-with-i9-13900hx-and-rtx-4070">Read full story</a></div>

(PR) Intel Slashes Dividend By Two-Thirds, Updates Capital Allocation
Intel Corporation today announced that its board of directors has reset its dividend policy, reducing the quarterly dividend to $0.125 per share (or $0.50 annually) on the company's common stock. The dividend will be payable on June 1, 2023, to stockholders of record on May 7, 2023. Intel also reaffirmed its first-quarter 2023 business outlook provided at its most recent earnings call, including revenue of between $10.5 billion and $11.5 billion; gross margin of 34.1% on a GAAP basis and 39% on a non-GAAP basis; tax rate of (84%) on a GAAP basis and 13% on a non-GAAP basis; and earnings per share of $(0.80) on a GAAP basis and $(0.15) on a non-GAAP basis.<br />
<br />
The decision to decrease the quarterly dividend reflects the board's deliberate approach to capital allocation and is designed to best position the company to create long-term value. The improved financial flexibility will support the critical investments needed to execute Intel's transformation during this period of macroeconomic uncertainty. Since first initiated in 1992, Intel's dividend has delivered more than $80 billion in cash returns to the company's stockholders, and the board is committed to maintaining a competitive dividend.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/s8Mr7NVskBpEKtFV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1140" data-height="641" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/s8Mr7NVskBpEKtFV_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305074/intel-slashes-dividend-by-two-thirds-updates-capital-allocation">Read full story</a></div>

AMD Ryzen 9 7900 iGPU Overclocking Pushes Performance Up to 42%
According to SkatterBench, a website known for incredible overclocking attempts, we get to see AMD's Ryzen 7000 series integrated GPU get up to 42% performance improvement from overclocking. Specifically, the SKU used in the attempt was the Ryzen 9 7900 non-X model with 12 cores and 24 threads, clocked at 3.7 GHz base frequency and 5.4 GHz boost speed. The SKU contains a basic AMD GPU integrated into the package; however, not meant for any serious gaming tasks. Nonetheless, it is interesting to see what a two-core RDNA2 GPU clocked at 2.2 GHz managed to achieve once overclocked. The memory clock of the GPU is set to 2.4 GHz at stock.<br />
<br />
Running at the base voltage of 0.997 volts under Furmark workload, the iGPU consumes around 38.5 Watts. However, the overclocking attempt pushed the voltage to 1.395 Volts, resulting in a 3.1 GHz iGPU frequency. The GPU Memory clock is now set to 3200 MHz, and the GPU+SOC power is 60.689 Watts, almost double compared to the stock settings. The overclocker used a GFX curve optimizer with various system tweaks to achieve these numbers. While the OC attempt was successful, the most significant performance improvement was a 42% increase, with some game titles averaging less. Below, the blue bar indicates stock, while the green bar indicates OC'd performance. You can check out the YouTube video as well to see more details.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DTeEWAczuECMJAun.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1231" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DTeEWAczuECMJAun_thm.jpg" width="167" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HsjhhHxR0D9NGMpm.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1536" data-height="864" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HsjhhHxR0D9NGMpm_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305068/amd-ryzen-9-7900-igpu-overclocking-pushes-performance-up-to-42">Read full story</a></div>

AMD Envisions Stacked DRAM on top of Compute Chiplets in the Near Future
AMD in its ISSCC 2023 presentation detailed how it has advanced data-center energy-efficiency and managed to keep up with Moore's Law, even as semiconductor foundry node advances have tapered. Perhaps its most striking prediction for server processors and HPC accelerators is multi-layer stacked DRAM. The company has, for some time now, made logic products, such as GPUs, with stacked HBM. These have been multi-chip modules (MCMs), in which the logic die and HBM stacks sit on top of a silicon interposer. While this conserves PCB real-estate compared to discrete memory chips/modules; it is inefficient on the substrate, and the interposer is essentially a silicon die that has microscopic wiring between the chips stacked on top of it.<br />
<br />
AMD envisions that the high-density server processor of the near-future will have many layers of DRAM stacked on top of logic chips. Such a method of stacking conserves both PCB and substrate real-estate, allowing chip-designers to cram even more cores and memory per socket. The company also sees a greater role of in-memory compute, where trivial simple compute and data-movement functions can be executed directly on the memory, saving round-trips to the processor. Lastly, the company talked about the possibility of an on-package optical PHY, which would simplify network infrastructure.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/kcN8TQVZv9L9dByd.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="673" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/kcN8TQVZv9L9dByd_thm.jpg" width="232" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/hxCpMTfNa53WinC5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="673" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/hxCpMTfNa53WinC5_thm.jpg" width="232" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/3iXSBUcyFgWGNfrJ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="673" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/3iXSBUcyFgWGNfrJ_thm.jpg" width="232" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/AEWFJUsuOGVydO2s.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="673" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/AEWFJUsuOGVydO2s_thm.jpg" width="232" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Thermaltake Intros Pacific TF3 Liquid Cooling System Dashboard
Thermaltake today formally launched the Thermaltake Intros Pacific TF3 Liquid Cooling System Dashboard, which it had showed off at the 2023 International CES. This contraption is designed to fit into a standard 120 mm fan vent, ideally one of the three front 120 mm vents of a case with glass front-panel, or the rear 120 mm exhaust facing forwards; and connected to your liquid-cooling loop. It has three analog gauges—one of which shows coolant pressure; the other the coolant temperature, and the third one the ambient temperature inside the case. The dials of these analog gauges feature an RGB diffuser, and so they can color-code the temperature reading in real-time, or be programmed like any other RGB object in your case. It has the same dimensions as a case fan, measuring 120 mm x 120 mm x 25 mm.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YuMozn8dBPOmYGA3.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/YuMozn8dBPOmYGA3_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/nhcW2WBrcqm4J9hN.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/nhcW2WBrcqm4J9hN_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/58fTV5KwQ92yWzYw.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/58fTV5KwQ92yWzYw_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QyKNhkEPMwqMWOnO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/QyKNhkEPMwqMWOnO_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ueBvjO3SmQFFoY9J.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ueBvjO3SmQFFoY9J_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Intel Defers 3 nm Wafer Orders with TSMC, Pushes "Arrow Lake" Rollout to 2025?
Intel has reportedly deferred its orders for 3 nm wafers with TSMC, sources in PC makers tell Taiwan-based industry observer DigiTimes. Built on the TSMC N3 node, the wafers were supposed to power the Graphics tiles (containing the iGPU), of the upcoming "Arrow Lake" processors, which were originally on course for a 2024 release. The DigiTimes report detailing this development says that Intel's 3 nm wafer orders have been deferred to Q4-2024, which would realistically mean a 2025 launch for whatever product was designed to use 3 nm tiles. Advance orders for next-gen wafers by high-volume clients such as Intel, are usually placed several quarters in advance, so the foundry could suitably scale up its capacity.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Uh0RbUr3CqY9R4I5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1160" data-height="632" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Uh0RbUr3CqY9R4I5_thm.jpg" width="239" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

The rumour mill has kicked into high gear this week about TSMC planning a second fab in Japan. The original source is the Nikkan Kogyo newspaper (via Reuters), based in Tokyo, although it's unclear where the actual fab would be located, if it's indeed even happening. According to the paper, the new fab would be focusing on 5 and 10 nanometer chips, but production isn't expected to start until sometime in the second half of this decade. This suggests that these would be mainstream nodes by then, which points to yet another fab for either the vehicle industry or something similar. <br />
<br />
The fab is said to cost more than a trillion yen, or over US$7.4 billion to build. TSMC's CEO C.C. Wei was asked about the potential fab during TSMC's latest earnings call, but simply said that the company had nothing further to add. TSMC is of course busy building a fab in Japan on Kyushu island, but as it'll have a node capacity for 12 to 16 nm parts, it makes sense that TSMC would already be planning for an extension of said fab that can produce on more advanced nodes as its customers will be moving to more advanced nodes over time.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/GZkQHeMpwKkmcPAb.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="480" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/GZkQHeMpwKkmcPAb_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

AMD's Reviewers Guide for the Ryzen 9 7950X3D Leaks
AMD's Ryzen 7000-series CPUs with 3D V-Cache are set to launch next week and alongside the launch, there will obviously be reviews of the upcoming CPUs. As with many other companies, AMD prepared a reviewers guide for the media, to give them some guidance, as well as expected benchmark numbers based on the test hardware AMD used in-house. Parts of that reviewers guide has now appeared online, courtesy of a site called HD Tecnologia. For those that can't wait until next week's reviews, this gives a glimpse of what to expect, at least based on the games tested by AMD.<br />
<br />
AMD put the Ryzen 9 7950X3D up against Intel's Core i9 13900K, both systems were equipped with 32 GB of DDR5-6000 memory and liquid cooling. Tests were done with both AMD's own Radeon RX 7900 XTX and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. We won't go into details of the various benchmarks here, as you can find those below, but according to AMD's figures, AMD came out on top with a 5.6 percent win over the Intel CPU, at 1080p using the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and by 6 percent using the GeForce RTX 4090. This was across 22 different games, with Horizon Zero Dawn and F1 2021 being the games favouring the AMD CPU the most and Far Cry 6 and the CPU test in Ashes of the Singularity being the games favouring the AMD CPU the least. TechPowerUp will of course have a review ready for your perusing by the time the new CPUs launches next week, so you'll have to wait until then to see if AMD's own figures hold true or not.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/XoJ7MHwkVpDLcEpD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/XoJ7MHwkVpDLcEpD_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/22bk5J164XWXUMAZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1174" data-height="1154" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/22bk5J164XWXUMAZ_thm.jpg" width="132" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YnjA6qcRhUBCV0Y1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/YnjA6qcRhUBCV0Y1_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ikykc37vDmFEopDI.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="833" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ikykc37vDmFEopDI_thm.jpg" width="200" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

NVIDIA to Put DGX Computers in the Cloud, Becomes AI-as-a-Service Provider
NVIDIA has recently reported its Q4 earnings, and the earnings call following the report contains exciting details about the company and its plans to open up to new possibilities. NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang has stated that the company is on track to become an AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) provider, which technically makes it a cloud service provider (CSP). "Today, I want to share with you the next level of our business model to help put AI within reach of every enterprise customer. We are partnering with major service -- cloud service providers to offer NVIDIA AI cloud services, offered directly by NVIDIA and through our network of go-to-market partners, and hosted within the world's largest clouds." Said Mr. Huang, adding that "NVIDIA AI as a service offers enterprises easy access to the world's most advanced AI platform, while remaining close to the storage, networking, security and cloud services offered by the world's most advanced clouds. Customers can engage NVIDIA AI cloud services at the AI supercomputer, acceleration library software, or pretrained AI model layers."<br />
<br />
In addition to enrolling other CSPs into the race, NVIDIA is also going to offer DGX machines on demand in the cloud. Using select CSPs, you can get access to an entire DGX and harness the computing power for AI research purposes. Mr. Huang noted "NVIDIA DGX is an AI supercomputer, and the blueprint of AI factories being built around the world. AI supercomputers are hard and time-consuming to build. Today, we are announcing the NVIDIA DGX Cloud, the fastest and easiest way to have your own DGX AI supercomputer, just open your browser. NVIDIA DGX Cloud is already available through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft Azure, Google GCP, and others on the way."<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/RaylaUEXQQrwIGUo.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1706" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/RaylaUEXQQrwIGUo_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

AMD AGESA 1.0.0.5C AM5 Enables Fine-grained Control Over Ryzen 7000X3D CCD Priority
ASUS began rolling out Beta UEFI firmware updates for its Socket AM5 motherboards encapsulating AGESA 1.0.0.5 patch-C microcode. This exposes several new options to end-users through the UEFI Setup Program, which gives them greater control over the way the processor prioritizes workload among the two CCDs (CPU complex dies) on 12-core and 16-core Ryzen 7000 series processors, including the upcoming 7000X3D processors. <br />
<br />
While AMD is working to release Chipset Software updates that include "<a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305134/latest-amd-chipset-driver-5-01-29-2026-whql-adds-3dv-cache-optimization-1-0-0-7" target="_blank">3D V-cache Optimization driver</a>" components that introduce OS-level awareness of the asymmetric implementation of 3D V-cache on the 7900X3D and 7950X3D where only one of the two CCDs has the additional cache; these firmware-level options give users control on prioritizing one CCD over the other for workload. The firmware-level optimization is OS-agnostic, so pretty much any OS should benefit from 3D V-cache the way it was intended (where less parallelized workloads such as games are prioritized on the CCD with the 3D V-cache.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/56C0V5ygn1O4e4PS.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="708" data-height="398" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/56C0V5ygn1O4e4PS_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Installed Windows 11 with TPM Disabled? Expect an Ugly Watermark on the Desktop
Users of Windows 11 on "unsupported hardware" report that since the most recent Patch Tuesday (monthly) Cumulative Update, an ugly watermark message began appearing on the Windows Desktop screen for the Windows 11 22H2 Update operating system. The bottom-right corner has a permanently-overlaid message that reads "System requirements not met. Go to Settings to learn more." This is visually similar to the watermark you get when you haven't activated Windows with a valid license.<br />
<br />
Windows Setup is designed to prevent the installation of Windows 11 on machines that don't meet its minimum system requirements, most notably, the need for a hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM). There are ways to circumvent this hardware requirements check during setup. The latest Patch Tuesday update apparently takes a quick check on whether Windows 11 is installed on a machine that actually meets its requirements as laid by Microsoft; and if not, places the watermark message on Windows Desktop. It's important to note here, that unlike the "Activate Windows" watermark, this "System requirements not met" watermark does not impact the functionality of Windows 11, and you probably won't wake up one day to find that your machine won't boot. It seems more like a means to get people to fix their hardware requirements using an eyesore.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/57jCrZFKtnO7vcJ8.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="970" data-height="546" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/57jCrZFKtnO7vcJ8_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) AMD Expected to Occupy Over 20% of Server CPU Market and Arm 8% in 2023
AMD and Arm have been gaining up on Intel in the server CPU market in the past few years, and the margins of the share that AMD had won over were especially large in 2022 as datacenter operators and server brands began finding that solutions from the number-2 maker growing superior to those of the long-time leader, according to Frank Kung, DIGITIMES Research analyst focusing primarily on the server industry, who anticipates that AMD's share will well stand above 20% in 2023, while Arm will get 8%.<br />
<br />
Prices are one of the three major drivers that resulted in datacenter operators and server brands switching to AMD. Comparing server CPUs from AMD and Intel with similar numbers of cores, clockspeed, and hardware specifications, the price tags of most of the former's products are at least 30% cheaper than the latter's, and the differences could go as high as over 40%, Kung said.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DTQ3YIPHKquLAaSf.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1356" data-height="866" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DTQ3YIPHKquLAaSf_thm.jpg" width="204" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Lt8Y7U4kAm29ek4E.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="931" data-height="591" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Lt8Y7U4kAm29ek4E_thm.jpg" width="205" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305141/amd-expected-to-occupy-over-20-of-server-cpu-market-and-arm-8-in-2023">Read full story</a></div>

Intel Xeon W-3400/2400 "Sapphire Rapids" Processors Run First Benchmarks
Thanks to the attribution of Puget Systems, we have a preview of Intel's latest Xeon W-3400 and Xeon W-2400 workstation processors based on Sapphire Rapids core technology. Delivering up to 56 cores and 112 threads, these CPUs are paired with up to eight TeraBytes of eight-channel DDR5-4800 memory. For expansion, they offer up to 112 PCIe 5.0 lanes come with up to 350 Watt TDP; some models are unlocked for overclocking. This interesting HEDT family for workstation usage comes at a premium with an MSRP of $5,889 for the top-end SKU, and motherboard prices are also on the pricey side. However, all of this should come as no surprise given the expected performance professionals expect from these chips. Puget Systems has published test results that include: Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Unreal Engine, Cinebench R23.2, Blender, and V-Ray. Note that Puget Systems said that: "While this post has been an interesting preview of the new Xeon processors, there is still a TON of testing we want to do. The optimizations Intel is working on is of course at the top, but there are several other topics we are highly interested in." So we expect better numbers in the future.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1LMWnhw6GOek0yi3.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="844" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1LMWnhw6GOek0yi3_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div>Below, you can see the comparison with AMD's competing Threadripper Pro HEDT SKUs, along with power usage using different Windows OS power profiles:<div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305138/intel-xeon-w-3400-2400-sapphire-rapids-processors-run-first-benchmarks">Read full story</a></div>

Latest AMD Chipset Driver 5.01.29.2026 WHQL Adds 3DV Cache Optimization 1.0.0.7
AMD is preparing to release the latest version of its Chipset software. Version 5.01.29.2026 WHQL should be of particular interest for users planning to buy an upcoming Ryzen 7000X3D series processor. The chipset driver includes the "3D V-Cache Performance Optimizer driver" component, version 1.0.0.7. This gives Windows a degree of awareness of the asymmetric nature of 3DV cache on the 16-core 7950X3D and 12-core 7900X3D, where <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/303008/amd-ryzen-7000x3d-announced-claims-total-dominance-over-intel-raptor-lake-upcoming-i9-13900ks-deterred" target="_blank">only one of the two</a> CCDs (chiplets) has the 3DV cache memory, while the other is a regular "Zen 4" CCD with 32 MB on-die L3 cache. This awareness should in theory improve performance in less-parallelized workloads (such as games). The AMD website doesn't yet list this driver, but it should appear as we head closer to the market-availability date of the 7950X3D and 7900X3D (February 28). From the looks of it, the optimization works for both Windows 11 and Windows 10, so those on the older operating system for reasons, can keep rocking it.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/FJE1bs4Btv0myd1L.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2023" data-height="1138" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/FJE1bs4Btv0myd1L_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/EXq7xgmltJwfX1nA.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="687" data-height="1128" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/EXq7xgmltJwfX1nA_thm.jpg" width="79" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) Alphacool Rolls Out Core Distro Plate VPP Pump-Combination
The new match of two design highlights! Alphacool presents the Core Distro Plates now in combination with the VPP Apex pump. This setup should not be missing in any performance-oriented custom water cooling system in which CPU and graphics card(s) are to be cooled simultaneously. The Distro Plate greatly simplifies the planning, construction and maintenance of complex water loops. It not only has an integrated reservoir, but also features an integrated VPP Apex pump. Due to the arrangement of the G1/4" connections, confusing and complicated hose paths are a thing of the past.<br />
<br />
A stylish and elegant element of the Core Distro Plate are the chrome-plated, brass G1/4" connections. The connections, which are recessed into the acrylic and fitted with an O-ring, are absolutely leak-proof and support the clear and functional look of the Alphacool Core Design series. By not screwing the connections directly into the acrylic, cracking and any resulting leakage is prevented. Alphacool's Core Distro Plate is made of high-quality acrylic, which allows a clear view of the coolant and provides brilliant illumination from the built-in, digitally addressable aRGB lighting.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/gBmdXLPGrNo5r2ud.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/gBmdXLPGrNo5r2ud_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ax27YHT7VnP6Hcih.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ax27YHT7VnP6Hcih_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/GGn2M2v33Wq5uaT5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/GGn2M2v33Wq5uaT5_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mRtxirXqq8kn0t3V.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/mRtxirXqq8kn0t3V_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/nMNKwOvCP2YudjZ5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/nMNKwOvCP2YudjZ5_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305130/alphacool-rolls-out-core-distro-plate-vpp-pump-combination">Read full story</a></div>

AMD's Reviewers Guide for the Ryzen 9 7950X3D Leaks
AMD's Ryzen 7000-series CPUs with 3D V-Cache are set to launch next week and alongside the launch, there will obviously be reviews of the upcoming CPUs. As with many other companies, AMD prepared a reviewers guide for the media, to give them some guidance, as well as expected benchmark numbers based on the test hardware AMD used in-house. Parts of that reviewers guide has now appeared online, courtesy of a site called HD Tecnologia. For those that can't wait until next week's reviews, this gives a glimpse of what to expect, at least based on the games tested by AMD.<br />
<br />
AMD put the Ryzen 9 7950X3D up against Intel's Core i9 13900K, both systems were equipped with 32 GB of DDR5-6000 memory and liquid cooling. Tests were done with both AMD's own Radeon RX 7900 XTX and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. We won't go into details of the various benchmarks here, as you can find those below, but according to AMD's figures, AMD came out on top with a 5.6 percent win over the Intel CPU, at 1080p using the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and by 6 percent using the GeForce RTX 4090. This was across 22 different games, with Horizon Zero Dawn and F1 2021 being the games favouring the AMD CPU the most and Far Cry 6 and the CPU test in Ashes of the Singularity being the games favouring the AMD CPU the least. TechPowerUp will of course have a review ready for your perusing by the time the new CPUs launches next week, so you'll have to wait until then to see if AMD's own figures hold true or not.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/XoJ7MHwkVpDLcEpD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/XoJ7MHwkVpDLcEpD_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/22bk5J164XWXUMAZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1174" data-height="1154" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/22bk5J164XWXUMAZ_thm.jpg" width="132" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YnjA6qcRhUBCV0Y1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/YnjA6qcRhUBCV0Y1_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ikykc37vDmFEopDI.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="833" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ikykc37vDmFEopDI_thm.jpg" width="200" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

NVIDIA has recently reported its Q4 earnings, and the earnings call following the report contains exciting details about the company and its plans to open up to new possibilities. NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang has stated that the company is on track to become an AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS) provider, which technically makes it a cloud service provider (CSP). "Today, I want to share with you the next level of our business model to help put AI within reach of every enterprise customer. We are partnering with major service -- cloud service providers to offer NVIDIA AI cloud services, offered directly by NVIDIA and through our network of go-to-market partners, and hosted within the world's largest clouds." Said Mr. Huang, adding that "NVIDIA AI as a service offers enterprises easy access to the world's most advanced AI platform, while remaining close to the storage, networking, security and cloud services offered by the world's most advanced clouds. Customers can engage NVIDIA AI cloud services at the AI supercomputer, acceleration library software, or pretrained AI model layers."<br />
<br />
In addition to enrolling other CSPs into the race, NVIDIA is also going to offer DGX machines on demand in the cloud. Using select CSPs, you can get access to an entire DGX and harness the computing power for AI research purposes. Mr. Huang noted "NVIDIA DGX is an AI supercomputer, and the blueprint of AI factories being built around the world. AI supercomputers are hard and time-consuming to build. Today, we are announcing the NVIDIA DGX Cloud, the fastest and easiest way to have your own DGX AI supercomputer, just open your browser. NVIDIA DGX Cloud is already available through Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and Microsoft Azure, Google GCP, and others on the way."<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/RaylaUEXQQrwIGUo.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1706" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/RaylaUEXQQrwIGUo_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

AMD AGESA 1.0.0.5C AM5 Enables Fine-grained Control Over Ryzen 7000X3D CCD Priority
ASUS began rolling out Beta UEFI firmware updates for its Socket AM5 motherboards encapsulating AGESA 1.0.0.5 patch-C microcode. This exposes several new options to end-users through the UEFI Setup Program, which gives them greater control over the way the processor prioritizes workload among the two CCDs (CPU complex dies) on 12-core and 16-core Ryzen 7000 series processors, including the upcoming 7000X3D processors. <br />
<br />
While AMD is working to release Chipset Software updates that include "<a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305134/latest-amd-chipset-driver-5-01-29-2026-whql-adds-3dv-cache-optimization-1-0-0-7" target="_blank">3D V-cache Optimization driver</a>" components that introduce OS-level awareness of the asymmetric implementation of 3D V-cache on the 7900X3D and 7950X3D where only one of the two CCDs has the additional cache; these firmware-level options give users control on prioritizing one CCD over the other for workload. The firmware-level optimization is OS-agnostic, so pretty much any OS should benefit from 3D V-cache the way it was intended (where less parallelized workloads such as games are prioritized on the CCD with the 3D V-cache.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/56C0V5ygn1O4e4PS.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="708" data-height="398" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/56C0V5ygn1O4e4PS_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

Installed Windows 11 with TPM Disabled? Expect an Ugly Watermark on the Desktop
Users of Windows 11 on "unsupported hardware" report that since the most recent Patch Tuesday (monthly) Cumulative Update, an ugly watermark message began appearing on the Windows Desktop screen for the Windows 11 22H2 Update operating system. The bottom-right corner has a permanently-overlaid message that reads "System requirements not met. Go to Settings to learn more." This is visually similar to the watermark you get when you haven't activated Windows with a valid license.<br />
<br />
Windows Setup is designed to prevent the installation of Windows 11 on machines that don't meet its minimum system requirements, most notably, the need for a hardware Trusted Platform Module (TPM). There are ways to circumvent this hardware requirements check during setup. The latest Patch Tuesday update apparently takes a quick check on whether Windows 11 is installed on a machine that actually meets its requirements as laid by Microsoft; and if not, places the watermark message on Windows Desktop. It's important to note here, that unlike the "Activate Windows" watermark, this "System requirements not met" watermark does not impact the functionality of Windows 11, and you probably won't wake up one day to find that your machine won't boot. It seems more like a means to get people to fix their hardware requirements using an eyesore.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/57jCrZFKtnO7vcJ8.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="970" data-height="546" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/57jCrZFKtnO7vcJ8_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

(PR) AMD Expected to Occupy Over 20% of Server CPU Market and Arm 8% in 2023
AMD and Arm have been gaining up on Intel in the server CPU market in the past few years, and the margins of the share that AMD had won over were especially large in 2022 as datacenter operators and server brands began finding that solutions from the number-2 maker growing superior to those of the long-time leader, according to Frank Kung, DIGITIMES Research analyst focusing primarily on the server industry, who anticipates that AMD's share will well stand above 20% in 2023, while Arm will get 8%.<br />

Prices are one of the three major drivers that resulted in datacenter operators and server brands switching to AMD. Comparing server CPUs from AMD and Intel with similar numbers of cores, clockspeed, and hardware specifications, the price tags of most of the former's products are at least 30% cheaper than the latter's, and the differences could go as high as over 40%, Kung said.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DTQ3YIPHKquLAaSf.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1356" data-height="866" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DTQ3YIPHKquLAaSf_thm.jpg" width="204" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Lt8Y7U4kAm29ek4E.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="931" data-height="591" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Lt8Y7U4kAm29ek4E_thm.jpg" width="205" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305141/amd-expected-to-occupy-over-20-of-server-cpu-market-and-arm-8-in-2023">Read full story</a></div>

Intel Xeon W-3400/2400 "Sapphire Rapids" Processors Run First Benchmarks
Thanks to the attribution of Puget Systems, we have a preview of Intel's latest Xeon W-3400 and Xeon W-2400 workstation processors based on Sapphire Rapids core technology. Delivering up to 56 cores and 112 threads, these CPUs are paired with up to eight TeraBytes of eight-channel DDR5-4800 memory. For expansion, they offer up to 112 PCIe 5.0 lanes come with up to 350 Watt TDP; some models are unlocked for overclocking. This interesting HEDT family for workstation usage comes at a premium with an MSRP of $5,889 for the top-end SKU, and motherboard prices are also on the pricey side. However, all of this should come as no surprise given the expected performance professionals expect from these chips. Puget Systems has published test results that include: Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Unreal Engine, Cinebench R23.2, Blender, and V-Ray. Note that Puget Systems said that: "While this post has been an interesting preview of the new Xeon processors, there is still a TON of testing we want to do. The optimizations Intel is working on is of course at the top, but there are several other topics we are highly interested in." So we expect better numbers in the future.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1LMWnhw6GOek0yi3.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="844" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1LMWnhw6GOek0yi3_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div>Below, you can see the comparison with AMD's competing Threadripper Pro HEDT SKUs, along with power usage using different Windows OS power profiles:<div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305138/intel-xeon-w-3400-2400-sapphire-rapids-processors-run-first-benchmarks">Read full story</a></div>

Latest AMD Chipset Driver 5.01.29.2026 WHQL Adds 3DV Cache Optimization 1.0.0.7
AMD is preparing to release the latest version of its Chipset software. Version 5.01.29.2026 WHQL should be of particular interest for users planning to buy an upcoming Ryzen 7000X3D series processor. The chipset driver includes the "3D V-Cache Performance Optimizer driver" component, version 1.0.0.7. This gives Windows a degree of awareness of the asymmetric nature of 3DV cache on the 16-core 7950X3D and 12-core 7900X3D, where <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/303008/amd-ryzen-7000x3d-announced-claims-total-dominance-over-intel-raptor-lake-upcoming-i9-13900ks-deterred" target="_blank">only one of the two</a> CCDs (chiplets) has the 3DV cache memory, while the other is a regular "Zen 4" CCD with 32 MB on-die L3 cache. This awareness should in theory improve performance in less-parallelized workloads (such as games). The AMD website doesn't yet list this driver, but it should appear as we head closer to the market-availability date of the 7950X3D and 7900X3D (February 28). From the looks of it, the optimization works for both Windows 11 and Windows 10, so those on the older operating system for reasons, can keep rocking it.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/FJE1bs4Btv0myd1L.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2023" data-height="1138" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/FJE1bs4Btv0myd1L_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/EXq7xgmltJwfX1nA.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="687" data-height="1128" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/EXq7xgmltJwfX1nA_thm.jpg" width="79" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>

The new match of two design highlights! Alphacool presents the Core Distro Plates now in combination with the VPP Apex pump. This setup should not be missing in any performance-oriented custom water cooling system in which CPU and graphics card(s) are to be cooled simultaneously. The Distro Plate greatly simplifies the planning, construction and maintenance of complex water loops. It not only has an integrated reservoir, but also features an integrated VPP Apex pump. Due to the arrangement of the G1/4" connections, confusing and complicated hose paths are a thing of the past.<br />
<br />
A stylish and elegant element of the Core Distro Plate are the chrome-plated, brass G1/4" connections. The connections, which are recessed into the acrylic and fitted with an O-ring, are absolutely leak-proof and support the clear and functional look of the Alphacool Core Design series. By not screwing the connections directly into the acrylic, cracking and any resulting leakage is prevented. Alphacool's Core Distro Plate is made of high-quality acrylic, which allows a clear view of the coolant and provides brilliant illumination from the built-in, digitally addressable aRGB lighting.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/gBmdXLPGrNo5r2ud.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/gBmdXLPGrNo5r2ud_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ax27YHT7VnP6Hcih.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ax27YHT7VnP6Hcih_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/GGn2M2v33Wq5uaT5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/GGn2M2v33Wq5uaT5_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mRtxirXqq8kn0t3V.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/mRtxirXqq8kn0t3V_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/nMNKwOvCP2YudjZ5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/nMNKwOvCP2YudjZ5_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305130/alphacool-rolls-out-core-distro-plate-vpp-pump-combination">Read full story</a></div>
