MSI has validated new 128 GB DDR5 memory modules, a development that significantly increases the maximum available memory for standard desktop computers. These 4-rank CUDIMMs, double the density of conventional modules, allow a system with two memory slots to support up to 256 GB while operating at 5600 MT/s. This high capacity was previously only attainable with specialized workstation hardware using processors like Intel Xeon or AMD Threadripper.
The company confirmed these modules are stable on its Z890 motherboards for Intel Core Ultra 200 Series CPUs, having overcome challenges related to memory controller stress and signal integrity. This advancement primarily benefits professional workloads, including video production, 3D...
The NVIDIA DGX Spark, a compact ARM-based AI system, has demonstrated a surprising ability to run a demanding video game at high frame rates. After a specific software configuration was applied, the device reportedly achieved over 175 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 with maximum path tracing enabled. This performance leap, from a previous benchmark of around 50 FPS, was unlocked by a community guide who properly configured compatibility layers to allow full access to NVIDIA's DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation technologies.
The system is built around the GB10 super chip, which integrates ARM CPU cores with a Blackwell-architecture GPU and 128 GB of unified memory. While not designed for gaming, its hardware efficiently handles the...

The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus gains four additional E-cores for a total of 24 cores, while the Core Ultra 5 250K Plus also receives four extra E-cores and a 100 MHz P-core clock speed boost.
These refreshed CPUs will also feature enhanced official memory support, increasing from DDR5-6400 to DDR5-7200. This upgrade is expected to benefit performance, particularly for enthusiasts leveraging the improved memory controller. The changes follow a...
A user has permanently damaged a $10,000 NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 workstation graphics card after its separate PCIe connector board snapped in half. The failure occurred when the heavy GPU was shipped while still installed in a computer chassis. A repair specialist noted that while the main GPU board is undamaged, the card is unusable because NVIDIA does not offer the modular connector board as a replacement part.
This incident highlights a significant vulnerability in the design of certain high-end NVIDIA cards, which utilize a multi-part construction. Without access to official replacement components, any damage to this specific connector renders the entire expensive unit inoperable. The specialist criticized the impracticality of a...
