The specs for NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 50 series blackwell GPUs have allegedly already leaked thanks to reliable tipster
Copitae 7 Kimmy, which is how I will pronounce it always Kimmy has claimed the cards will be based on
The GB202 and GB203 GPUs. I don't know what their opinions will be
But we'll see the latter is expected to be a cut-down version of the former with half the number of cores on top of that
The cards may be the first to feature gddr7 memory
Specifically the memory speed will cap out at 28 gigabits per second
Which is lower than the published specifications for the next-gen memory, but still faster than gddr6
X's maximum speed. This detail seems the most solid while Kimmy has seemed to flip-flop on memory bus width
The tipster now says the GB202 will sport a 512 bit memory bus
But previously hinted it would come with the same 384-bit interface the 4090 has
But if all this gaming GPU news tricked you into thinking that NVIDIA cares about those again, I'm sorry AI is still
Jensen's favorite child CEO Jensen Huang has implied the company's next-gen
DGX AI servers will be liquid cooled perhaps to deal with extra heat due to increased power consumption
This wouldn't be the only hot water NVIDIA's AI has created
Team green is being sued by three authors who claim their copyrighted works were used without permission to train the company's
Nemo AI platform with this lawsuit NVIDIA joins the list of AI companies sued for copyright infringement companies like
Every other AI company. It's a rite of passage really. AGI will emerge
from the fire of Being sued constantly from team green over to team red now AMD has made major changes to the FreeSync certification process in a
Community announcement the company stated they would be increasing the required
Maximum refresh rate a monitor needs to support in order to be FreeSync certified
Originally monitors and TVs only needed a maximum refresh rate of 40 to 60 Hertz to get a basic FreeSync stamp
But now the minimum certification Requires at least a 144 Hertz maximum refresh rate
Meanwhile FreeSync premium certification used to just require a monitor that can go up to 120 Hertz
But now that's only true for displays with horizontal resolutions of
3440 pixels or above TVs or monitors below that resolution must have a maximum refresh rate of at least
200 Hertz a premium pro has also changed to match premium, but with the added criterion of
HDR support now these might sound like huge and confusing changes
But they really just reflect today's most common refresh rates in desktop gaming monitors
It's super common now to find budget gaming monitors at 144 Hertz
But no matter what monitor you're running AMD's new upscaler for non-game just video content could be welcome news for you
Radeon RX 7000 users out there. It's basically team red's answer to NVIDIA's RTX
VSR, but apparently it's a bit more complicated to set up not only do you have to enable it in AMD's adrenaline control panel
But you also need to enable options in Windows 11 settings app and additional settings in Chrome and Edge
If you want to use it in one of those browsers as for other browsers AMD didn't mention them Firefox
What is that some sort of cryptid it's friends with the insolendian phasmid about five people get that and apple will be releasing next-gen
iPad pros and heirs in the next month according to the girm in the apple apple will not have a launch event for their mac and
iPad updates because the vision pro is all that matters now
Previously it was rumored that apple would simply put out press releases on its website last week
But that doesn't seem to have happened while we wait for those products
We can perhaps also wait for a new apple headset. Oh
Insiders like Gerbin have claimed we might see a cheaper alternative to the vision pro in 2025 or 2026
But according to a leaker called Ravegnaz
According to that leaker apple is accelerating research and development on an entry-level
headset the leaker claims apple is trying to reduce the cost of their headset displays which count for almost a third of the vision
pro's total manufacturing cost allegedly the second generation headset could cost
$1,500 which is a bargain on apples pricing scale
But before that allegedly happens the AirPods Pro may be getting a major new hearing aid mode with iOS 18 according to
Mark German again. He's back a 2022 study already suggested AirPods work
Competently as a cheaper alternative to a traditional hearing aids. So how can they get better?
Will they cure hearing loss in some weird partnership with mr. Beast
Implant your AirPods directly into your skull quick bits are like a little kiss of summer in the spring a flashlight in the fog
Sunday morning pajama reddit and its current shareholders would be offering a total of 22 million shares
Optimistically for around thirty four dollars each and the rest is as they say basic grade school math
Who says that around 1.76 million of those shares have been set aside specifically for reddit users who joined prior to
January of this year because everyone else is just free writing the company is reportedly targeting
Evaluation of close to six and a half billion dollars, which is honestly a bit more than I'd be willing to pay for it
20 bucks. Take it or leave it. You'd be lucky if anyone pays you more than 20 bucks for that thing
Xiaomi is removing a popular feature that allowed users to play YouTube videos in the background on their Android based operating system
Without subscribing to YouTube premium thus avoiding paying Google money
So that works Google who actually quite likes money is suspected of having pressured Xiaomi into removing the feature
Though Xiaomi only said that the changes were due to
Unspecified compliance requirements Specifically compliance with the back of Google's hand slap slap
Google leaked the pixel 8a's existence in the most on-brand way in Android 14's QPR one update
Google added extended battery statistics that allowed users to see charging cycle counts and
Manufacturing dates for their phones battery However, this feature disappeared in an update this month when a user reported this as a bug a Google representative
Stated that existing devices were never meant to get this feature. So they removed it
Saying we only enable this page on pixel 8a and beyond. Oh, oh, that'll be on the pixel
Sorry Android users you may have lost a feature But your sacrifice has allowed Google to justify yet another phone launch a mod has been released that gives NVIDIA
RTX 20 series and GTX 16 series GPUs support for resizable bar a performance enhancing feature that lets your CPU
Access your GPU's entire frame buffer as long as your motherboard says it's okay
Isn't there someone you forgot to ask that's actually not a joke rebar only works if the motherboard CPU and GPU all support it
So using this mod which is based on another mod adding rebar support to older processors
Involves patching your motherboards at UEFI firmware now
That's always a little risky But what is life if not a continuous sequence of taking one risk after another? This is not an endorsement. Do not sue us

And that's just a question and Porsche has unveiled the Taycan turbo GT
It's fastest road legal car ever and it proved it too by setting a new record for a production EV car at the Laguna
Seca track in California Linus is so sad
He went back to driving his Lambo out of shame in addition to more range and faster charging
The new Taycan got a bonus in the form of a Tim Cook appearance in its announcement video
He congratulated Porsche CEO Oliver Bloom on the launch and on the Porsche Vision Pro app
That lets you spectate races from various perspectives. I hope CEO's pinching the air becomes part of every major product release going forward
It just makes everything more exciting. I think it's called carcinization where everything starts turning into crabs
As you know we're releasing a product, but there's nothing more exciting than coming back on Wednesday for more tech news
