Bitmain launched (opens in new tab) its long-awaited Antminer E9 system today. The firm claims that one Antminer E9 system has the crypto-computing power to match 25 Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards. That is quite an achievement, which Bitmain measures in Ethereum mining performance terms. In brief, the Antminer E9 is capable of 2,400 MH/s of ETH mining performance, white eating up to 1,920W, and its efficiency is at 0.8 J/M.Since it first teased the Antminer E9, the specs appear to have changed somewhat, with no…

New rumors about the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 generation of cards are getting more and more tantalizing. With intensely high clock speeds, the GPUs just might deliver unprecedented performance. The RTX 4090, in particular, is likely going to blow its predecessor out of the water — but that kind of power certainly comes at a price. Continue to update.

If Intel’s drivers are anything to go by, we might be about to see the flagship Arc Alchemist graphics cards in the flesh soon enough — at least in their mobile versions. Intel’s latest Arc Graphics Windows DCH driver introduces a range of optimizations, including a long-awaited setting. However, the most tantalizing bit of information found in the driver is that it also adds support for two Arc GPUs. Intel The latest version of Intel’s graphics driver, namely the 30.0.101.1743 Beta, seems like a bit of a spoiler —…

Two yet unreleased and unannounced Intel Arc Alchemist graphics cards have just emerged on the SiSoftware database. Dubbed the Intel Arc Pro A40 and A50, the GPUs seem to be aimed at professionals. Although some of the specifications of these GPUs have been revealed in the process, we’re getting a puzzling picture that makes it difficult to tell just what Intel might be planning to do with the Arc Pro lineup. SiSoftwareIntel Arc Pro A40/A50 Graphics RI (1152S 128C SM3.0 2.45GHz, 1MB L2, 4.8GB)…

Newegg’s Bonanza Sale is getting even better, with a bunch of new GPUs, motherboards, monitors, laptops, and more now available with big price cuts. The most exciting for those building or upgrading a rig is the lineup of RTX 30 series GPUs, some of which are seeing price cuts of several hundred dollars.The ultra-premium RTX 3090 Ti typically retails for $2,000, but Newegg is discounting it to just $1,850 during the Bonanza Sale: Reloaded. You can get an additional $180 off by…

A new Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based machine learning algorithm developed by researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) can help scientists better understand and predict connectivity between different regions of the brain.The algorithm, called Regularized, Accelerated, Linear Fascicle Evaluation, or ReAl-LiFE, can rapidly analyse the enormous amounts of data generated from diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) scans of the human brain.Using ReAL-LiFE, the team was able to evaluate dMRI data over 150…

In a recent Tweet by @momomo_us, new mysterious Intel Arc GPUs have been spotted on the SiSoftware database, called the A40 and A50. The most intriguing part of the discovery is these GPUs are carrying the Pro moniker, which suggests Intel is building professional versions of its Arc Alchemist GPUs. This is the first we've heard of such GPUs from Intel, and besides some core specifications, we have no idea what additional features these professional graphics cards will offer.According to the SiSoftware database, the A40…

AMD has just launched its new GPU Comparison Tool, which is aimed at being a quick and easy way to determine which graphics card might be best for you based on your gaming needs. The tool gives you insight into the performance of nearly all of the best GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia. However, a closer look at the tool raises questions as to how legit it is. AMD AMD’s new tool is simple to navigate and free to use, so you can check it out if you’d like to see the results for yourself. It’s easy — pick the game that…

Efficiency and power requirements for the upcoming Nvidia RTX 40-series and AMD Radeon 7000 ranges of GPUs have been constantly brought up in rumors surrounding these next-gen boards — and for good reason. Speculation surrounding the wattage amount for Nvidia’s boards (ranging from 450 watts to an unprecedented 900 watts) has justifiably raised eyebrows, while reports regarding AMD’s Radeon 7000 cards point toward a more efficient powerhouse. But even Team Red has now admitted that we will indeed see a jump in power…

Serious gaming on ChromeOS could soon be a bigger reality and get a huge boost to leverage the power of Steam. According to a report from Chrome Unboxed, a Chromebook with some kind of Nvidia GPU could soon be on the way. Nothing has been officially confirmed and the report is based on pure speculation, but listings in the Chromium Gerrit are fueling the latest rumors. Those listings make mention of “Agah” which Chrome Unboxed believes is some kind of Chromebook with an Intel Alder Lake CPU, and Nvidia GPU.…
