Micron shows massive 256GB DDR5-8800 memory sticks — High-capacity double-height 20-watt MCRDIMM modules come in different flavors
Micron demonstrated its massive 256 GB MCR DIMM memory modules this week at the Nvidia-hosted GPU Technology Conference (GTC). These modules are designed for next-generation servers, including those running Intel's Xeon Scalable 'Granite Rapids' processors.MSI details how to make your Intel CPU run cooler without losing performance — recommends disabling CEP
MSI has released new firmware for Intel 600- and 700-series motherboards, which allows you to turn off the CEP (Current Excursion Protection) function. According to the vendor's findings, disabling CEP can make your Intel 14th Generation Raptor Lake Refresh non-K processor run cooler without compromising performance.Arm unveils next-gen Neoverse CPU cores and compute subsystems — hoping to entice more custom silicon customers
Arm on Wednesday announced its next-generation general-purpose CPU cores for datacenter processors. The new Neoverse V3, Neoverse N3, and Neoverse E3 CPU cores are aimed at high-performance computing (HPC), general-purpose CPU instances and infrastructure applications, and edge computing and low-power applications, respectively.AMD discloses slew of high severity security vulnerabilities that attacks BIOS chips on Zen systems — updates aren’t available for all chips, finally a fix Zenbleed
AMD has disclosed four vulnerabilities found in its Zen-based CPUs, ranging from the original Zen chips to the latest Zen 4 processors, and not all impacted chips have a readily available BIOS version to correct the issue. The vulnerabilities, which compromise the security of the SPI interface that connects to the flash chip that stores your BIOS, affect different generations of different Zen CPUs — not all processors are vulnerable to all four bugs.AMD’s next-gen Zen 5 APUs appear — Strix Point and Strix Halo listed in ROCm Code with RDNA 3.5 GPU
AMD has added support for its next-generation accelerated processing units codenamed Strix Point to the ROCm software stack used to program GPUs, as noticed by @Kepler_L2. The addition confirms that AMD's upcoming processors based on the Zen 5 microarchitecture will feature GPUs based on the RDNA 3.5 architecture.Intel to reveal its roadmap beyond the 18A (1.8nm) process node in a few weeks — the company will share its post-5N4Y plans during February event
Along with introducing its IDM 2.0 paradigm in 2021, which involves using both internal and external production capacities, Intel also outlined its impressive plan for 'five nodes in four years,' now dubbed '5N4Y.' The culmination of that impressive project is supposed to be the company's 18A (1.8nm-class) technology, which is scheduled to become production-ready in "early 2025." Little is known about the company's plans beyond 18A, but now it says it will reveal its new roadmap in February.New desktop PC chips now support an incredible 256GB of memory — ASRock and MSI update DDR5 support on Intel Z790 and AMD X670E motherboards
ASRock and MSI announced they now support higher capacity 64GB DDR5 RAMs on each DIMM slot, allowing up to 256GB on four-slot and 128GB on two-slot motherboards. ASRock also announced it can do the same.AMD says overclocking blows a hidden fuse on Ryzen Threadripper 7000 to show if you’ve overclocked the chip, but it doesn’t automatically void your CPU’s warranty
A recent discovery that overclocking AMD's latest chips blows a fuse to denote the chip has been overclocked has led to slightly misleading claims that it will automatically void the chips' warranty for any type of failure. However, AMD clarified to Tom's Hardware that overclocking AMD’s Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 (Storm Peak) and non-Pro lineup, among the best workstation CPUs, doesn't automatically void the processor’s warranty.Intel’s unreleased Emerald Rapids CPU impresses in leaked benchmarks — 48-core chips deliver big gains over Sapphire Rapids predecessors
Intel's upcoming 5th Gen Xeon Emerald Rapids CPUs will see an announcement on December 14, and they're certainly being tested as hardware benchmark finder Benchleaks has found a couple of Geekbench 5 results. The leaked benchmarks for the Xeon Platinum 8551C and Xeon Platinum 8558P show remarkable gains in multi-core performance for a refresh of Sapphire Rapids with higher clock speeds.Ventana’s 192-Core RISC-V CPU Takes Aim At AMD Epyc Genoa And Bergamo
The age of full-fledged RISC-V data center CPUs is nearly upon us, as Ventana's 192-core Veryon V2 is coming in 2024 (via ServeTheHome). Ventana, founded in 2018, claims the Veryon V2 edges ahead of AMD's Genoa and Bergamo Epyc CPUs. However, the company foresees much bigger victories down the line with its domain-specific accelerator (or DSA) chiplets, which Ventana forecasts will deliver large performance boosts compared to typical CPUs.
