AMD's previous "Game Bundle Promotion" campaign rolled out last autumn—at the time, participating customers were gifted digital copies of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 and Unknown 9: Awakening. Unfortunately, the latest iteration grants access to a single AAA title. Multiple hardware and gaming news outlets have advised prospective buyers to make use of the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332188/capcom-releases-monster-hunter-wilds-pc-performance-benchmark-tool" target="_blank">Monster Hunter Wilds PC performance benchmark utility</a>; in preparation for the game's full release. Preview builds have reportedly brought fairly potent test systems to their knees.<br /> <br /> Curiously, AMD's list of eligible products does not include any desktop (AM5) 3D V-Cache models—a glaring omission, given the nature of this promotion. Instead, various standard SKUs are listed; at the top we spotted their <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/ryzen-9-9950x.c3649" target="_blank">Ryzen 9 9950X</a> CPU. The cheapest options seem to be the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/ryzen-5-9600x.c3652" target="_blank">Ryzen 5 9600X</a> and <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/ryzen-7-7700.c2960" target="_blank">Ryzen 7 7700</a> (non-X) models. Qualifying graphics card options are restricted to the Radeon RX 7000 series; there is no mention of next-gen candidates—terms could be amended later this week; AMD will be presenting its new <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332062/amd-radeon-rx-9070-series-launch-event-slated-for-late-february" target="_blank">Radeon RX 9070 series on February 28</a>.

Pre-orders are open now, with first shipments in early Q3 2025. When AMD shared the Ryzen AI Max with us, we immediately knew we had to use it. It has up to 16 CPU cores at 5.1 GHz boost clock, discrete-level Radeon 8060S graphics, and support for up to an insane 128 GB of unified LPDDR5x. That enables 1440p or higher gaming on the heaviest titles, big creative and workstation workloads, and true local AI use cases. This is an absolute monster of a processor, and we shifted our roadmap a year ago to make space for it. In a desktop form factor, we get to unlock every bit of its performance with 120 W sustained power and 140 W boost while staying quiet and cool.<br /> <br /> You may still be wondering, why does Framework need to build a desktop? Aren't desktops already modular and upgradeable? They are. In fact, the desktop PC ethos is part of what inspired the Framework Laptop to begin with. The desktop world is amazing. There is a broad, long-lived, interoperable ecosystem with hundreds of brands and hundreds of millions of consumers participating. You can build, upgrade, repair, and personalize to the limits of your imagination (and budget, and desk space), and share your amazing creations with all of the other true believers. We want to make this space as accessible as we possibly can by building a desktop that is simultaneously small and simple and incredibly powerful and customizable. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience the culture around PCs and PC gaming first-hand.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HNiWVBKc7QdBpxq4.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1439" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333139"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HNiWVBKc7QdBpxq4_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/OmMfDtfykFw8jOv9.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="786" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333139"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/OmMfDtfykFw8jOv9_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="106" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Nz7sI007utJ3bQwC.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="786" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333139"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Nz7sI007utJ3bQwC_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="106" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/WYLCuw3FBhpW9Vf9.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="786" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333139"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/WYLCuw3FBhpW9Vf9_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="106" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/3yzYuTqEmdVKJDPx.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="964" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333139"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/3yzYuTqEmdVKJDPx_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="131" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/333139/framework-announces-new-gaming-mini-desktop">Read full story</a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333137"> <h1><a href="/333137/roadcraft-demo-available-now-in-celebration-of-steam-next-fest-2025" class="newslink">RoadCraft Demo Available Now, in Celebration of Steam Next Fest 2025</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag pr">Press Release</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/228819/">T0@st</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-25T19:58:39+00:00"> Today, 03:58 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333137/roadcraft-demo-available-now-in-celebration-of-steam-next-fest-2025#comments">Discuss (3 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">Hello Builders, time to roll up your sleeves!

Sure, this one was in a grimy basement, but even the rock legends had to start somewhere, right?<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/vqvKAdOHgto2jmlS.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="720" data-fancybox="g333135"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/vqvKAdOHgto2jmlS_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/v73xQvscrdr2WwEh.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333135"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/v73xQvscrdr2WwEh_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/c9bkY6GHmZ6KOGel.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333135"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/c9bkY6GHmZ6KOGel_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lQFAimS1xMziDdCf.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333135"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/lQFAimS1xMziDdCf_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/333135/team-17-announces-rockbeasts-an-upcoming-narrative-band-management-rpg">Read full story</a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333131"> <img class="newsicon" src="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/nvidia-v1739475473466.png" srcset="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/nvidia-v1739475473466.png 125w, https://tpucdn.com/images/news/nvidia@2x-v1739475473466.png 250w" sizes="68px" loading="lazy" alt="" width="68" height="68" title="NVIDIA" /> <h1><a href="/333131/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-reviews-reportedly-due-for-publication-on-march-4" class="newslink">NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Reviews Reportedly Due for Publication on March 4</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/228819/">T0@st</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-25T18:40:46+00:00"> Today, 02:40 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink hotnews" href="/333131/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-reviews-reportedly-due-for-publication-on-march-4#comments">Discuss (29 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">NVIDIA's upcoming mid-range <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5070.c4218" target="_blank">GeForce RTX 5070</a> 12 GB model is almost ready for launch, according to recent reports.

Craig Duncan, who took charge of Xbox Game Studios, broke this news on the latest episode of the Official Xbox Podcast. Playground Games, the team behind Forza Horizon, has the job of making the new Fable game as they told us about it back in 2020. <br /> <br /> "We previously announced the date for Fable as 2025. We are actually going to give Fable more time, and it's going to ship in 2026 now," Duncan explained. "While I know that's not maybe the news people want to hear, what I want to assure people of is that it's definitely worth the wait." On the podcast, Duncan showed us some early game footage. He said it's "the prettiest version of Albion you've ever laid eyes on". Even though it's taking longer for Fable to be released, Microsoft's game branch looks strong with big games coming soon such as South of Midnight Doom: The Dark Ages (out in May), The Outer Worlds 2, and Ninja Gaiden 4.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/XySjmZuthslU2E4J.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1557" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333132"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/XySjmZuthslU2E4J_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="211" height="130" alt="" /></a><br /> </div>Xbox podcast follows:<div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/333132/fable-reboot-delayed-to-2026-xbox-confirms">Read full story</a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333133"> <img class="newsicon" src="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/intel-v1739475473466.png" srcset="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/intel-v1739475473466.png 125w, https://tpucdn.com/images/news/intel@2x-v1739475473466.png 250w" sizes="68px" loading="lazy" alt="" width="68" height="68" title="Intel" /> <h1><a href="/333133/intels-high-na-euv-machines-already-processed-30-000-wafers-more-to-come-with-14a-node" class="newslink">Intel's High-NA EUV Machines Already Processed 30,000 Wafers, More to Come with 14A Node</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/187454/">AleksandarK</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-25T18:22:13+00:00"> Today, 02:22 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333133/intels-high-na-euv-machines-already-processed-30-000-wafers-more-to-come-with-14a-node#comments">Discuss (3 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">Intel has successfully deployed two advanced ASML High-NA Twinscan EXE:5000 EUV lithography systems at its D1 development facility near Hillsboro, Oregon, processing approximately 30,000 wafers in a single quarter. The High-NA EUV systems, each reportedly <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/319071/asml-high-na-euv-twinscan-exe-machines-cost-usd-380-million-10-20-units-already-booked" target="_blank">valued at $380 million</a>, represent a substantial improvement over previous lithography tools, achieving resolution down to 8 nm with a single exposure compared to the 13.5 nm resolution of current Low-NA systems. Early operational data indicates these machines are approximately twice as reliable as previous EUV generations, addressing reliability challenges that previously hampered Intel's manufacturing progress. The ability to accomplish with a single exposure what previously required three exposures and approximately 40 processing steps has been reduced to just "single digit" processing steps.<br /> <br /> Intel has historically been an early adopter of high-NA EUV lithography, a much more aggressive strategy than its competitors like TSMC, which manufactures its advanced silicon using low-NA EUV tools. The company plans to utilize these systems for its upcoming 14A chip manufacturing process, though no specific mass production date has been announced. While ASML classifies these Twinscan EXE:5000 systems as pre-production tools not designed for high-volume manufacturing, Intel's extensive wafer processing is more of a test bed. The early adoption provides Intel with valuable development opportunities across various High-NA EUV manufacturing aspects, including photomask glass, pellicles, and specialized chemicals that could establish future industry standards. Intel's current 18A node is utilizing Low-NA lithography tools, where Intel is only exploring High-NA with it for testing, before moving on to 14A high-volume manufacturing with High-NA EUV.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pp3UtShwDqxhuMKO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="800" data-fancybox="g333133"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pp3UtShwDqxhuMKO_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333130"> <img class="newsicon" src="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/ubisoft-v1739475473466.png" srcset="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/ubisoft-v1739475473466.png 125w, https://tpucdn.com/images/news/ubisoft@2x-v1739475473466.png 250w" sizes="68px" loading="lazy" alt="" width="68" height="68" title="Ubisoft" /> <h1><a href="/333130/ubisoft-playstack-reveal-assassins-creed-balatro-collaboration" class="newslink">Ubisoft & Playstack Reveal Assassin's Creed & Balatro Collaboration</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag pr">Press Release</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/228819/">T0@st</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-25T18:02:20+00:00"> Today, 02:02 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333130/ubisoft-playstack-reveal-assassins-creed-balatro-collaboration#comments">Discuss (1 Comment)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p"><a rel="nofollow" href="https://assassinscreed.com/" target="_blank">Assassin's Creed</a> joins <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.playbalatro.com/" target="_blank">Balatro</a> as part of the rogue-like poker game's free Friends of Jimbo 4 collaboration pack.

Additionally, they quietly confirmed that the upcoming launch of Radeon RX 9070 series graphics cards will <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/333051/amd-radeon-rx-9070-series-launches-without-amd-built-reference-designs" target="_blank">not include reference/MBA models</a>. Team Red enthusiasts and other interested parties are anticipating an official unveiling of performance data, technical specifications, and decisive pricing. Recent leaks have produced speculative figures for various board partner options, but industry whispers suggest that AMD's guide MSRP has fluctuated over the past couple of weeks. An almost definitive answer has arrived online, courtesy of another <a rel="nofollow" href="https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-teases-radeon-rx-9070-focusing-on-sub-700-price-point" target="_blank">VideoCardz</a> investigative piece.<br /> <br /> The article does not class the latest pre-release disclosure as a true "leak," VideoCardz believes that their sharing of AMD press briefing slides serves as an intriguing teaser. The report dismisses yet another case of pre-launch retail spillage: "there are many rumors about relatively high prices for the RX 9070 series. For instance, a Reddit thread allegedly shows prices from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/1ixkmo4/9070_xt_pricing_at_best_buy/" target="_blank">Best Buy's internal system</a>, with prices starting at $739 (see screenshot below)... From what we have been told and shared during the media briefing, AMD showed one slide that may confirm where the prices will be. The Radeon RX 9070 series is focusing on a sub-$700 price point, and AMD wants their cards to be 'more accessible.' AMD says that 85% of gamers buy cards below $700, and this is what the RDNA 4 series will focus on." Another leaked presentation slide indicates that Team Red is targeting higher resolutions (1440p and 4K), better performance; especially with "ray tracing games," as well as "easy upgrades."

The semiconductor giant's takeover process has been a gradual affair; the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/290358/sk-hynix-completes-the-first-phase-of-intel-nand-and-ssd-business-acquisition" target="_blank">first phase</a> was complete by the end of 2021, with Asian governing bodies—just before Christmas—<a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/290150/sk-hynix-receives-merger-clearances-for-intel-nand-and-ssd-business-acquisition" target="_blank">giving clearance</a> to absorb Chinese facilities. Within this time frame, the South Korean giant pulled in Team Blue's SSD NAND design and R&D departments—thus establishing the "<a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/330436/solidigm-stops-consumer-ssd-business-operations-ended-last-year" target="_blank">Solidigm</a>" entity. According to a new Businesskorea report, SK hynix is about to pay off a final installment; allegedly $2.235 billion.<br /> <br /> Industry insiders believe that SK hynix's takeover of Intel NAND and storage properties will be completed by next month. This (rumored) March time fortification will place SK hynix in direct competition with a nearby rival: Samsung. Businesskorea believes that recent expansions signal a "competitive edge"—targeting increased demand for enterprise SSD products. Google and Meta are reportedly engaged in widespread upgrading of data center facilities. The local publication reckons that: "SK Hynix plans to capitalize on this trend by strengthening its position in the market and leveraging AI to drive innovation and growth." The aforementioned absorption of Intel intellectual property (IP) plus R&D resources is viewed as a crucial move in reinforcing an already solid foundation.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/qSMBg3SJXZrbpzic.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333108"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/qSMBg3SJXZrbpzic_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/xkaTgBUz5Je9NRSC.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="750" data-fancybox="g333108"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/xkaTgBUz5Je9NRSC_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="173" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/LjptEUNqbK6ne90j.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1404" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333108"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/LjptEUNqbK6ne90j_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="190" height="130" alt="" /></a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333107"> <img class="newsicon" src="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/asrock-v1739475473466.png" srcset="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/asrock-v1739475473466.png 125w, https://tpucdn.com/images/news/asrock@2x-v1739475473466.png 250w" sizes="68px" loading="lazy" alt="" width="68" height="68" title="ASRock" /> <h1><a href="/333107/asrock-addresses-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-boot-issues-with-a-bios-update" class="newslink">ASRock Addresses AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Boot Issues With a BIOS Update</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/187454/">AleksandarK</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-25T16:13:46+00:00"> Today, 00:13 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333107/asrock-addresses-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-boot-issues-with-a-bios-update#comments">Discuss (6 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/333094/asrock-releases-the-latest-am5-motherboard-bios-to-improve-ryzen-9000-series-cpu-boot-issues" target="_blank">ASRock</a> has deployed beta <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.asrock.com/support/index.asp?cat=bBIOS" target="_blank">BIOS version 3.20</a> today for its AM5 motherboard lineup to address persistent boot failures and <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332416/burning-saga-continues-this-time-its-an-amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-cpu" target="_blank">burns affecting AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors</a>. ASRock Japan refuted claims of permanent CPU damage, characterizing circulating reports as "misinformation" and identifying memory compatibility as the underlying cause rather than processor defects. The firmware patch targets a specific interaction between memory configurations and the 9800X3D's architecture that manifests as boot failures across what ASRock describes as a "minority proportion" of affected systems. A <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1i5iy9a/update_and_summary_on_the_dead_9800x3ds/" target="_blank">community-aggregated database on Reddit</a> documented 40 failure incidents, with ASRock boards accounting for 32 cases. The failure pattern appears inconsistent—some systems fail immediately while others operate normally for weeks before exhibiting symptoms. BIOS flashback procedures have successfully restored functionality in multiple instances.<br /> <br /> "The CPUs themselves are not broken. This is specifically a memory compatibility issue affecting system initialization," ASRock Japan explained via social media. Prior to releasing version 3.20, the company had recommended affected users downgrade to BIOS 3.10 as a temporary workaround. Notably, customers who RMA'd their processors and received replacements found their systems suddenly operational—suggesting the issue stems from complex firmware-hardware interactions rather than manufacturing defects. The problem appears isolated to the 9800X3D model and does not affect other processors in AMD's Ryzen 9000 series lineup. ASRock noted that the company will provide comprehensive technical documentation explaining the underlying mechanisms. AMD has yet to issue an official statement regarding the compatibility issues affecting their premium gaming processor.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/aJtDFSQDPD2Nvv8c.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="881" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333107"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/aJtDFSQDPD2Nvv8c_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="119" height="130" alt="" /></a></div></div> </article> <div class="datesep">Tuesday, February 25th 2025</div> <article class="todayslist todaysfiles"> <h1>Today's Files</h1> <ul> <li> <a href="/download/nvidia-nvflash/"><span>NVIDIA NVFlash 5.867</span></a> </li> <li> <a href="/download/amd-ryzen-chipset-drivers/"><span>AMD Ryzen Chipset Drivers 7.02.13.148</span></a> </li> </ul> </article> <article class="todayslist todaysreviews"> <h1>Today's Reviews</h1> <div style="display:inline-block"> <b>Cooling</b> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106861" href="https://itndaily.ru/2025/02/24/obzor-kulera-thermaright-ultra-120ex-rev-4-black/"> <span>Thermalright Ultra 120EX Rev 4 Fan</span> itndaily </a> <i>(ru)</i> </li> </ul> </div> <div style="display:inline-block"> <b>Gaming PC</b> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106858" href="http://www.kitguru.net/desktop-pc/mat-mynett/pcspecialist-cortex-pro-prebuilt-desktop-review/"> <span>PCSpecialist Cortex Pro</span> KitGuru </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div > <b>Graphics Cards</b> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106859" href="https://thepcenthusiast.com/colorful-igame-rtx-5070-ti-review-ultra-w-oc-edition-graphics-card/"> <span>Colorful iGame RTX 5070 Ti Ultra W OC</span> ThePCEnthusiast </a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106860" href="https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/10986/msi-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-gaming-trio-overclockers-delight/index.html"> <span>MSI RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio</span> Tweaktown </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div style="display:inline-block"> <b>Memory</b> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106856" href="https://www.nikktech.com/main/articles/pc-hardware/memory-kits/15337-anacomda-g5-python-32gb-ddr5-8000mhz-cl38-dual-channel-kit-review"> <span>Anacomda G5 Python DDR5-8000 32GB</span> NikkTech </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div style="display:inline-block"> <b>Motherboards</b> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106864" href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-x870-aorus-elite-wifi-7/"> <span>Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi 7</span> TechPowerUp </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div style="display:inline-block"> <b>Mouse</b> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106862" href="https://www.cowcotland.com/articles/4525/la-razer-basilisk-v3-pro-35k-une-concurrente-a-la-mx-master-pour-les-gamers.html"> <span>Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K</span> Cowcotland </a> <i>(fr)</i> </li> </ul> </div> <div > <b>PSUs</b> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106857" href="https://www.cowcotland.com/articles/4512/corsair-rme-750-watts-atx-3-1-pcie-gen-5-1-et-139-euros.html"> <span>Corsair RM750e (2024)</span> Cowcotland </a> <i>(fr)</i> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106855" href="http://www.funkykit.com/reviews/power-supplies/fsp-mega-ti-1650w-pcie-5-1-atx-3-1-psu-review/"> <span>FSP Mega Ti 1650W</span> FunkyKit </a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-id="106863" href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/montech-titan-pla-1000-w/"> <span>Montech TITAN PLA 1000 W</span> TechPowerUp </a> </li> </ul> </div> </article> <article class="newspost review"> <a href="/review/gigabyte-x870-aorus-elite-wifi-7/"> <img class="review-icon" alt="Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi 7 Review" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy" src="/review/gigabyte-x870-aorus-elite-wifi-7/images/small@1x.png" srcset="/review/gigabyte-x870-aorus-elite-wifi-7/images/small@1x.png 100w, /review/gigabyte-x870-aorus-elite-wifi-7/images/small.png 256w" sizes="125px" /> </a> <h1><a href="/review/gigabyte-x870-aorus-elite-wifi-7/" class="newslink">Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi 7 Review</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="review"> Review </span> <span style="background-color:#a86428" >Motherboards</span> </span> </div> <div class="text p"> If you're looking for a home for that shiny new Ryzen 7 9800X3D could this be the best sub $300 board for you?

Instead of characters being mechanically interchangeable, the bond between them shapes their abilities, interactions, and progression—so you won't just assemble your party for their skills, but you'll nurture them and unlock new powers and quests based on their emotional growth.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DQMtep9miJxGJsO0.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333106"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DQMtep9miJxGJsO0_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QXk5TPozVJfKCXMS.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333106"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/QXk5TPozVJfKCXMS_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1bfcGb5W7k8eo5oB.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333106"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1bfcGb5W7k8eo5oB_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/333106/the-lonesome-guild-unveiled-at-id-xbox-february-event">Read full story</a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333104"> <img class="newsicon" src="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/amd-v1739475473466.png" srcset="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/amd-v1739475473466.png 125w, https://tpucdn.com/images/news/amd@2x-v1739475473466.png 250w" sizes="68px" loading="lazy" alt="" width="68" height="68" title="AMD" /> <h1><a href="/333104/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-leaked-3dmark-cinebench-results-indicate-9950x-esque-performance" class="newslink">AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D Leaked 3DMark & Cinebench Results Indicate 9950X-esque Performance</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/228819/">T0@st</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-25T15:35:01+00:00"> Yesterday, 23:35 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333104/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-leaked-3dmark-cinebench-results-indicate-9950x-esque-performance#comments">Discuss (1 Comment)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">The AMD <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/ryzen-9-9950x3d.c3993" target="_blank">Ryzen 9 9950X3D</a> processor will head to retail next month—a <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332848/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-9900x3d-potential-launch-date-leaked-march-12" target="_blank">March 12 launch</a> day is rumored—but a handful of folks seem to have early samples in their possession. Reviewers and online influencers have been tasked with evaluating pre-launch silicon, albeit under strict conditions; i.e. no leaking. Inevitably, NDA-shredding material has seeped out—yesterday, we reported on an <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/333057/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-samples-sp-rating-leaked-reportedly-superior-to-most-9800x3d-scores" target="_blank">alleged sample's ASUS Silicon Prediction rating</a>. Following that, a Bulgarian system integrator/hardware retailer decided to upload Cinebench R23 and PCMark Time Spy results to Facebook. Evidence of this latest leak was scrubbed at the source, but <a rel="nofollow" href="https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-tested-two-weeks-ahead-of-launch-similar-cinebench-performance-to-9950x" target="_blank">VideoCardz preserved crucial details</a>.<br /> <br /> The publication noticed distinguishable QR and serial codes in PCbuild.bg's social media post; so tracing activities could sniff out points of origin. As expected, the leaked benchmark data points were compared to Ryzen 9 <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/ryzen-9-9950x.c3649" target="_blank">9950X</a> and <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/ryzen-9-7950x3d.c3024" target="_blank">7950X3D</a> scores. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D sample recorded a score of 17,324 points in 3DMark Time Spy, as well as 2279 points (single-core) and 42,423 points (multi-core) in Cinebench R23. Notebookcheck observed that the pre-launch candidate came: "out ahead of the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-9-7950x3d/" target="_blank">Ryzen 9 7950X3D</a> in both counts, even if the gaming win is less than significant. Comparing the images of the benchmark results to our in-house testing and benchmark database shows the 9950X3D beating the 7950X3D by nearly 17% in Cinebench multicore." When compared to its non-3D V-Cache equivalent, the Ryzen 9 9950X3D leverages a slight performance advantage. A blurry shot of PCbuild.bg's HWiNFO session shows the leaked processor's core clock speeds; going up to 5.7 GHz (turbo) on a single CCD (non-X3D). The X3D-equipped portion seems capable of going up to 5.54 GHz.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/vEDArHnZKc8t3pOm.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333104"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/vEDArHnZKc8t3pOm_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/rskrB0OeBjWrOS3i.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="931" data-height="516" data-fancybox="g333104"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/rskrB0OeBjWrOS3i_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="235" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Eqdjk8WESAhdNMOW.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1254" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333104"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Eqdjk8WESAhdNMOW_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="170" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ut8noyYNU9JktoUx.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1160" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333104"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ut8noyYNU9JktoUx_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="157" height="130" alt="" /></a><br /> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/333104/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-leaked-3dmark-cinebench-results-indicate-9950x-esque-performance">Read full story</a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333105"> <h1><a href="/333105/ncomputing-launches-rx540-thin-client-powered-by-raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-platform" class="newslink">NComputing Launches RX540 Thin Client Powered by Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Platform</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag pr">Press Release</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/240733/">Nomad76</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-25T15:12:31+00:00"> Yesterday, 23:12 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333105/ncomputing-launches-rx540-thin-client-powered-by-raspberry-pi-compute-module-5-platform#comments">Discuss (2 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">NComputing, a global leader in thin client computing solutions, announces the launch of its RX540 thin client, powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 platform.

The 9100 Pro is, as you'd expect, a PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD and it will be available in capacities of 1, 2 and 4 TB initially, but it appears that Samsung is also planning to release an 8 TB SKU, which would be a first for its Pro series of SSDs. Samsung will offer all SKUs with or without a heatsink and the 1 to 4 TB versions will come with an 8.8 mm thick heatsink, whereas the 8 TB model will come with an 11.25 mm thick heatsink. <br /> <br /> Sadly, Samsung India only shared the sequential performance figures, and we're looking at read speeds of up to 14,800 MB/s and write speeds of up 13,400 MB/s, neither is sticking out from the competition already available in the market. The pulled press release also mentioned random read performance of 2,200K IOPS and random write performance of 2,600K IOPS. As the press release was intended for the Indian market, we only have pricing in Indian rupees and the 1 TB SKU will sell for 14,999 INR or around US$172, including 18 percent VAT, followed by the 2 TB SKU at 25,499 INR or US$293 and finally 49,999 INR or US$573 for the 4 TB SKU.

Zotac's GeForce RTX 5090 Solid comes with fewer ROPs than it should—168 are enabled, instead of the 176 that are part of the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5090.c4216" target="_blank">RTX 5090 specifications</a>. This loss of 8 ROPs has a small, but noticeable impact on performance. During recent testing, we noticed our Zotac RTX 5090 Solid sample underperformed slightly, falling behind even the NVIDIA RTX 5090 Founders Edition card. At the time we didn't pay attention to the ROP count that TechPowerUp GPU-Z was reporting, and instead spent time looking for other reasons, like clocks, power, cooling, etc.<br /> <br /> Two days ago, one of our readers who goes by "Wuxi Gamer," posted <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/zotac-5090-solid-disabled-rops.332772/" target="_blank">this thread on the TechPowerUp Forums</a>, reporting that his retail Zotac RTX 5090 Solid was showing fewer ROPs in GPU-Z than the RTX 5090 should have. The user tried everything from driver to software re-installs, to switching between the two video BIOSes the card comes with, all to no avail. What a coincidence that we had this card in our labs already, so we then dug out our sample. Lo and behold—our sample is missing ROPs, too! GPU-Z is able to read and report these units counts, in this case through NVIDIA's NVAPI driver interface. The 8 missing ROPs constitute a 4.54% loss in the GPU's raster hardware capability, and to illustrate what this means for performance, we've run a couple of tests.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Znuul81qOMerLMtT.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="784" data-height="538" data-fancybox="g332884"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Znuul81qOMerLMtT_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="189" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ij960FLnjMIcqRcd.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="560" data-height="610" data-fancybox="g332884"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ij960FLnjMIcqRcd_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="119" height="130" alt="" /></a><br /> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332884/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-cards-spotted-with-missing-rops-nvidia-confirms-the-issue-multiple-vendors-affected">Read full story</a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333090"> <h1><a href="/333090/aewin-unveils-high-availability-storage-server-powered-by-intel-xeon-6-processors" class="newslink">AEWIN Unveils High Availability Storage Server Powered by Intel Xeon 6 Processors</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag pr">Press Release</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/240733/">Nomad76</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-25T09:25:14+00:00"> Yesterday, 17:25 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333090/aewin-unveils-high-availability-storage-server-powered-by-intel-xeon-6-processors#comments">Discuss (0 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">AEWIN is excited to launch the MIS-5131-2U2, a cutting-edge 2U2N High Availability Storage Server powered by Intel's latest Xeon 6 processors.

Taiwan's premier foundry company is reportedly prepping its Baoshan and Kaohsiung plants for full-on manufacturing of next-gen chips. The latest insider whispers propose that TSMC is making "rapid" progress on the 2 nm (N2) front, as company engineers have moved onto an "intensive" trial production phase. Taiwan's Economic Daily News has picked up on compelling projections from industry moles; the Hsinchu Baoshan facility's current monthly production capacity is (allegedly) around 5000 to 10,000 2 nm wafers. The other 2 nm-specialist site—Kaohsiung—has reportedly moved into a small-scale appraisal phase.<br /> <br /> TSMC declined to comment on recently leaked data points, but they released a general statement (to UDN), emphasizing that: "(our) 2 nm process technology is progressing well and will go into mass production as scheduled in the second half of this year." The Baoshan plant could ramp up to 25,000 2 nm wafers per month, once it moves into a mass production phase. Combined with the same estimated output from its sister site (Kaohsiung), insiders reckon that the combined total could reach 50,000 units per month. Following a predicted successful "second phase" transition, TSMC's most advanced facilities have a "chance" to pump out 80,000 2 nm parts (combined total). The latest murmurs suggest that this milestone could be achieved by the end of 2025. Industry watchdogs believe that <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/330399/tsmc-is-getting-ready-to-launch-its-first-2nm-production-line" target="_blank">Apple will have first access dibs</a> on TSMC's upcoming cutting-edge offerings.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/UYnfrIfuMNBzfLZt.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="720" data-fancybox="g333066"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/UYnfrIfuMNBzfLZt_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="181" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/WFetsdLHhAhMpIsN.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1848" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333066"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/WFetsdLHhAhMpIsN_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="250" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KJftWrJDdUBkH02K.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333066"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KJftWrJDdUBkH02K_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333065"> <img class="newsicon" src="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/asus-v1739475473466.png" srcset="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/asus-v1739475473466.png 125w, https://tpucdn.com/images/news/asus@2x-v1739475473466.png 250w" sizes="68px" loading="lazy" alt="" width="68" height="68" title="ASUS" /> <h1><a href="/333065/asus-proposes-that-dual-geforce-rtx-3060-oc-card-offers-incredible-value-in-2025" class="newslink">ASUS Proposes that DUAL GeForce RTX 3060 OC Card Offers "Incredible Value" in 2025</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag pr">Press Release</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/228819/">T0@st</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-24T19:45:59+00:00"> Yesterday, 03:45 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink hotnews" href="/333065/asus-proposes-that-dual-geforce-rtx-3060-oc-card-offers-incredible-value-in-2025#comments">Discuss (76 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">Take a look at the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey" target="_blank">Steam Hardware & Software Survey for January 2025</a>, and you'll find no fewer than three graphics cards from the now-venerable <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?generation=GeForce+10&sort=generation" target="_blank">NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series</a> lineup. We mean no offense to these battle-proven units, but we suspect that if your machine is still rocking one of these cards, you're probably looking for an upgrade.

The newly revealed "reasonably priced" packages will contain 14th Generation Core <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/core-i5-14600kf.c3267" target="_blank">i5-14600KF</a> or <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/core-i5-14400f.c3454" target="_blank">i5-14400F</a> processors. A photo preview (see below) showcases very plain blue retail boxes (with no logo), adorned with information-carrying stickers. The freshly unveiled "Value Pack (genuine product)" designs are region exclusive (for the moment); seemingly slotting somewhere in-between Intel's traditional <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000029613/processors.html" target="_blank">"Boxed" retail and barebones "Tray" processor</a> offerings.<br /> <br /> According to the Danawa report, one of the local distributors stated: "this is a very meaningful moment as it is the first time that an official Intel value pack has been released in Korea. We are pleased to offer a more reasonable price while maintaining the same warranty period and standards as existing genuine products. We hope that this release will allow more consumers to upgrade their PCs without burden." Western news sites have highlighted the Core i5 14600KF Value Pack's cheapest available price point (identified via the Danawa comparison engine); KRW 284,540 (~$199 USD). The traditional "Boxed" retail equivalent goes for KRW 295,700 (~$207 USD), while the barebones "Tray" (OEM-oriented) package is priced at KRW 261,200 (~$183 USD). Tom's Hardware checked out the new offering's Batch # and Serial # codes: "on Intel's warranty information page, (it) said that the ATPO (Batch #) we listed indicated that it was a tray processor...We'd like to believe the numbers on the image were just placeholders that belong to a tray processor, or that Intel RMAs in South Korea are all handled by its distributors." Danawa's news piece repeatedly claims that the two new options offer lower pricing compared to "existing genuine box products," but come with the "same genuine warranty" terms.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/GWnSfXK5b0aoom3C.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1250" data-height="750" data-fancybox="g333063"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/GWnSfXK5b0aoom3C_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="217" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5I2WizvN8WCz1X6S.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="600" data-height="600" data-fancybox="g333063"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5I2WizvN8WCz1X6S_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/p3eZvN4X6RvoyV9c.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333063"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/p3eZvN4X6RvoyV9c_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333064"> <img class="newsicon" src="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/gigabyte-v1739475473466.png" srcset="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/gigabyte-v1739475473466.png 125w, https://tpucdn.com/images/news/gigabyte@2x-v1739475473466.png 250w" sizes="68px" loading="lazy" alt="" width="68" height="68" title="Gigabyte" /> <h1><a href="/333064/gigabyte-launches-new-servers-using-intel-xeon-6700-6500-series-processors-and-provides-updates-for-servers-using-xeon-6300-series" class="newslink">GIGABYTE Launches New Servers Using Intel Xeon 6700 & 6500-series Processors and Provides Updates for Servers Using Xeon 6300-series</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag pr">Press Release</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/240733/">Nomad76</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-24T19:00:19+00:00"> Yesterday, 03:00 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333064/gigabyte-launches-new-servers-using-intel-xeon-6700-6500-series-processors-and-provides-updates-for-servers-using-xeon-6300-series#comments">Discuss (0 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">Giga Computing, a subsidiary of GIGABYTE and an industry leader in generative AI servers and advanced cooling technologies, today announced new GIGABYTE rack servers that are optimized for Intel Xeon 6700/6500-series processors with up to 136 PCIe 5.0 lanes.

Meet the next gen AMD Radeon RX 9000 series on February 28th at 8am ET/7am CT/5am PT." <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332524/amd-radeon-rx-9000-series-event-scheduled-february-28" target="_blank">Later this week</a>, Team Red and its board partners are expected to present the first wave of <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?architecture=RDNA+4.0&sort=generation" target="_blank">RDNA 4</a>-based graphics cards with an in-depth/detailed presentation. TechPowerUp and other PC hardware press outlets have—so far—covered plenty of custom Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 (non-XT) designs, but MBA (made-by-AMD) reference models have only emerged online through <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/331513/amd-radeon-rx-9070-series-available-now-according-to-out-of-date-advertising" target="_blank">official marketing channels</a>. Previously released promotional product renders indicate that Team Red has dual and triple-fan next-gen solutions lined up, but last week's social media post implies that first-party options will not be available on day one.<br /> <br /> A small disclaimer—stating: "artistic render: not available for purchase"—was placed below AMD's render of a triple-fan cooled reference card. VideoCardz has interpreted this stealthy disclosure; they believe that Team Red will not be releasing any Radeon <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-9070-xt.c4229" target="_blank">RX 9070 XT</a> and <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-9070.c4250" target="_blank">RX 9070</a> MBA models. Since a muted introduction at CES 2025, TechPowerUp's GPU database maintainer has adorned these entries with placeholder imagery (see example below). The lack of reference "Navi 48-based" designs could be a boon for involved AIBs. Based on historical events, VideoCardz reckons that AMD has often "prioritized" its own offerings—to the detriment of board partner shipments; insiders have allegedly complained or expressed dissatisfaction about this (past) arrangement.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9p40A091MLpB0zlx.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333051"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/9p40A091MLpB0zlx_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/wHYL8UHEc8G9TDBQ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="626" data-fancybox="g333051"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/wHYL8UHEc8G9TDBQ_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="249" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/LvnzcNxWzuKLQhhg.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="808" data-height="696" data-fancybox="g333051"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/LvnzcNxWzuKLQhhg_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="151" height="130" alt="" /></a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333045"> <h1><a href="/333045/mitac-computing-announces-intel-xeon-6-cpu-powered-next-gen-ai-hpc-server-series" class="newslink">MITAC Computing Announces Intel Xeon 6 CPU-powered Next-gen AI & HPC Server Series</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag pr">Press Release</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/228819/">T0@st</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-24T16:25:10+00:00"> Yesterday, 00:25 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333045/mitac-computing-announces-intel-xeon-6-cpu-powered-next-gen-ai-hpc-server-series#comments">Discuss (0 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">MiTAC Computing Technology Corporation, a leading server platform design manufacturer and a subsidiary of MiTAC Holdings Corporation, today announced the launch of its latest server systems and motherboards powered by the latest Intel Xeon 6 with P-core processors.

The flagship model—in <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/asus-rog-astral-rtx-5090-oc-edition.b11952" target="_blank">overclocked form</a>—is not a wallet-friendly prospect; as highlighted by W1zzard's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-geforce-rtx-5090-astral/" target="_blank">in-depth evaluation</a>. The "astronomically-priced" premium-tier quad-fan model is a hot property; in more ways than one—late last week, an unfortunate ownership experience was shared online. NVIDIA subreddit member—Impossible-Weight485—uploaded photo evidence, accompanied by a short story: "I was playing PC games this afternoon, and when I was done with the games, my PC suddenly shut down while I was browsing websites. When I restarted the PC, the GPU caught on fire, and smoke started coming out. When I took out the GPU, I saw burn marks on both the GPU and the motherboard." Post-absorption, initial community and press feedback posited that the problem originated with a Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC), located not far from the card's PCI-E interface.<br /> <br /> High-profile figures soon swooped in, with different theories and offers. A Team Green subreddit moderator weighed in: "not adding this one to our GeForce RTX <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1inpox7/rtx_50_series_12vhpwr_megathread/" target="_blank">50 Series 12VHPWR Megathread</a>. This looks to be a blown power phase, and not melting power connector. The original poster provided additional photos of the cable, in addition to the GPU connector photo in the post. Both looks pristine...Yes, I watched Buildzoid's video (see below), hence updating this comment...Thanks to Buildzoid for the education!" The owner uploaded another interior shot, seemingly showing burn damage on their <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-rog-crosshair-x870e-hero/" target="_blank">ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X870E HERO</a> motherboard. The severity of this incident attracted the attention of Gamers Nexus—Lelldorianx (aka Stephen Burke) reached out to the damaged card's owner: "messaging you. We'd buy the board and GPU from you if you want to just take the cash and buy something else (or) skip the RMA process." Burke and his colleagues are actively investigating various GeForce RTX 50-series "pratfalls"—earlier this month, reports indicated that the team was already <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332383/nvidia-investigating-reported-geforce-rtx-5090-5080-black-screen-stability-issues" target="_blank">engaged in the sourcing of problematic units</a>.<div

TechPowerUp inspected <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/330743/hands-on-with-the-powercolor-radeon-rx-9070-xt-red-devil-and-hellhound" target="_blank">an example at CES 2025</a>, but that particular triple-fan model housed upcoming <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/amd-navi-48.g1071" target="_blank">RDNA 4 GPU</a> tech. PowerColor's brand-new "Reaper" family is rolling out in the near future; acting as a replacement to their familiar budget-friendly "Fighter" tier. The manufacturer <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332222/amd-radeon-rx-7650-gre-custom-models-launched-in-china" target="_blank">released its Radeon RX 7650 GRE Hellhound</a> (mid-range) card earlier this month—the standard black and Spectral White Reaper models are expected to arrive with slightly lower pricing, likely conforming to AMD's official MSRP guideline (2099 RMB/~$289 USD).<br /> <br /> The latest report—<a rel="nofollow" href="https://videocardz.com/newz/powercolor-preparing-radeon-rx-7650-gre-reaper-spectral-white-edition-white-rx-9070-xt-red-devil-also-planned" target="_blank">from VideoCardz</a>—suggests that PowerColor will be expanding its portfolio of Spectral White graphics card designs. Company insiders hinted about incoming pale Radeon RX 9070 XT options; namely a new pale <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/powercolor-hellhound-rx-9070-xt.b12176" target="_blank">Hellhound</a> offering. The Taiwanese firm is reportedly considering the release of a Spectral White spin-off of their <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332558/amd-radeon-rx-9070-xt-red-devil-aib-card-leaks-with-900-watt-psu-requirement" target="_blank">Radeon 9070 XT Red Devil</a> model—potentially, the first of its kind to get a pale aesthetic treatment. PowerColor's demon-themed flagship card series—traditionally—sports black shroud and backplate designs, with red accents and lighting zones. A speculative designation of "Red Devil Spectral White" seems to be quite clumsy; so a snappier title could be in the works.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lfEk3YG1ZDLIXtKb.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="900" data-height="500" data-fancybox="g333037"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/lfEk3YG1ZDLIXtKb_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="234" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/aD89crPBhXNZOQ7L.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="900" data-height="500" data-fancybox="g333037"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/aD89crPBhXNZOQ7L_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="234" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YiLVjvVaHwCNBPKd.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="900" data-height="500" data-fancybox="g333037"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/YiLVjvVaHwCNBPKd_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="234" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5UvKmuRkvsDwFrZF.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="900" data-height="500" data-fancybox="g333037"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5UvKmuRkvsDwFrZF_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="234" height="130" alt="" /></a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333039"> <h1><a href="/333039/gl-inet-launches-spitz-plus-gl-x2000-wi-fi-6-cellular-router" class="newslink">GL.iNet Launches Spitz Plus (GL-X2000) Wi-Fi 6 Cellular Router</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag pr">Press Release</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/240733/">Nomad76</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-24T14:52:44+00:00"> Monday, 22:52 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink " href="/333039/gl-inet-launches-spitz-plus-gl-x2000-wi-fi-6-cellular-router#comments">Discuss (0 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">GL.iNet, a leading innovator in networking solutions, announces the launch of the Spitz Plus (GL-X2000), a powerful 4G LTE Wi-Fi 6 router engineered for seamless connectivity, even in challenging environments.

The flagship RX 9070 XT delivers up to 42% better performance than the Radeon RX 7900 GRE at 4K resolution across a test suite of over 30 games, with the standard RX 9070 showing a 21% improvement in the same scenario. The performance data, encompassing raster and ray-traced titles at ultra settings, positions the RX 9070 series as a direct competitor to NVIDIA's RTX 4080 and RTX 5070 Ti. Notably, AMD's testing methodology focused on native rendering and ray tracing capabilities rather than upscaling technologies like FSR. The RX 9070 XT demonstrated large gains at 4K resolution, achieving a 51% performance uplift compared to the two-generations older RX 6900 XT. Meanwhile, the base RX 9070 model showed a 38% improvement over the RX 6800 XT at 4K with maximum settings enabled.<br /> <br /> While AMD confirms its new cards are designed to compete with NVIDIA's RTX 50 series, specific comparative benchmarks against the RTX 5070 Ti were absent from the presentation. AMD acknowledges it has yet to acquire the competitor's hardware for testing. The company is expected to provide a comprehensive performance overview, potentially including additional GPU comparisons, during its official announcement on February 28. Both RX 9070 series cards will feature 16 GB of VRAM, matching the memory configuration of the RX 7900 GRE used as a primary comparison point. By the official launch date, AMD will have time to push final driver tweaks for optimal performance. Nonetheless, more information will surface as we near the official release date.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fq1hn2oKx6KuC6kZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="675" data-fancybox="g333025"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fq1hn2oKx6KuC6kZ_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Dz6JSEPYse2gYncC.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1169" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333025"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Dz6JSEPYse2gYncC_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="158" height="130" alt="" /></a></div></div> </article> <article class="newspost " data-id="333024"> <img class="newsicon" src="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/nvidia-v1739475473466.png" srcset="https://tpucdn.com/images/news/nvidia-v1739475473466.png 125w, https://tpucdn.com/images/news/nvidia@2x-v1739475473466.png 250w" sizes="68px" loading="lazy" alt="" width="68" height="68" title="NVIDIA" /> <h1><a href="/333024/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-spotted-with-missing-rops-too" class="newslink">NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Spotted with Missing ROPs, Too</a></h1> <div class="byline"> <span class="flags"> <span class="flag updated">Updated</span> </span> <span class="byline-item"> by <address><a href="/forums/members/187454/">AleksandarK</a></address> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <time datetime="2025-02-24T08:40:52+00:00"> Monday, 16:40 </time> </span> <span class="byline-item"> <a class="discusslink hotnews" href="/333024/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-spotted-with-missing-rops-too#comments">Discuss (60 Comments)</a> </span> </div> <div class="text p">We previously covered that NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5070 Ti chips were <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332884/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-spotted-with-missing-rops-nvidia-confirms-the-issue-multiple-vendors-affected-rtx-5070-ti-too" target="_blank">spotted with a few missing ROPs</a>. NVIDIA confirmed this issue affects 0.5% of the supply of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D and 5070 Ti GPUs, and users should contact their vendors for a replacement. However, the case of missing ROPs is now extended further, with one user on Reddit reporting that his latest GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition GPU is reading only 104 ROPs, instead of the regular 112. That is eight missing ROPs—a number similar to eight missing ROPs found on GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5070 Ti. To double-check, the user installed the latest version of NVIDIA drivers and still recorded 104 ROPs only.<br /> <br /> We previously found eight missing ROPs constitute a 4.54% loss in the GPU's raster hardware capability. The GPU's Raster Operations Pipeline (ROP) units handle the final stages of graphics processing—they manage pixel-level operations like blending colors, smoothing edges through antialiasing, writing pixels to texture memory, and ultimately storing the final pixel values in the frame buffer. This differs from shading units (GPU cores), which focus on calculating the colors, lighting effects, and material properties of pixels and vertices during rendering but don't directly work with the frame buffer. The performance loss from missing ROPs will differ from game to game, depending on whether a game heavily relies on ROP-intensive operations. Nonetheless, with GeForce RTX 5080 FE in the picture, we must wait and see if more future SKUs may appear with missing ROPs.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pBTyJM56ksGRkCiZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2076" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333024"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pBTyJM56ksGRkCiZ_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="281" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/d3q5zdtMkwGfABCX.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="826" data-height="960" data-fancybox="g333024"><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/d3q5zdtMkwGfABCX_thm.jpg" loading="lazy" width="112" height="130" alt="" /></a><br /> </div><b>Update Feb 25th</b>: <br /> In response to this discovery, NVIDIA provided the following statement to TechPowerUp<blockquote><small>NVIDIA</small>Upon further investigation, we've identified that an early production build of GeForce RTX 5080 GPUs were also affected by the same issue.

Today, we got a confirmation that NVIDIA is investigating users experiencing significant stability problems, with reports of widespread black screen issues and system crashes since the launch of the dedicated <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/332831/nvidia-releases-geforce-572-47-game-ready-drivers-with-support-for-rtx-5070-ti" target="_blank">572 driver branch</a>. Unlike owners of previous generation cards who can roll back to stable drivers, RTX 50 series users are particularly affected as no alternative drivers are available for their hardware. The problems span across the entire RTX 50 lineup, including the 5090, 5080, and newly announced 5070 Ti models. Users have reported issues ranging from display flickering to complete system failures, with some experiencing blue screen of death (BSOD) errors during normal operation. <br /> <br /> The situation is especially problematic when using advanced features like DLSS 4 frame generation. NVIDIA staff member Manuel recently addressed these concerns on the GeForce Forums, confirming that the company is actively investigating the problems. Preliminary investigation suggests the issues might extend beyond driver software, potentially requiring VBIOS updates to resolve the stability problems fully. Some users have found temporary relief by reducing PCIe speeds below Gen 5 or lowering monitor refresh rates to 60 Hz, suggesting potential firmware-level compatibility issues. However, these workarounds are not guaranteed solutions for all affected users.
