HWiNFO version 8.30 brings compatibility for the GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 graphics card. Chinese retailers began selling this new variant today after authorities banned the original RTX 5090 D model. The updated card maintains identical shader counts while reducing video memory capacity and bandwidth. Export regulations forced these specification changes to meet international trade requirements. Colorful priced the card at $2,880 despite its reduced performance capabilities.
The software update also recognizes the RTX 5050 graphics processor released last month. Intel Nova Lake processors gained preliminary support within the monitoring tool. Industry sources expect Nova Lake to arrive next year across desktop and mobile platforms. The...
Samsung revealed its 115-inch television featuring Micro RGB display technology at a recent demonstration. The device employs light-emitting diodes smaller than 100 micrometers to enhance visual performance. These microscopic components deliver superior contrast ratios and more accurate color representation compared to traditional mini-LED systems. The technology enables individual control of each LED rather than zone-based management. Samsung positions this advancement as a breakthrough for ultra-premium television markets.
The Micro RGB system achieves 100 percent BT.2020 color gamut coverage while consuming 20 percent less energy than mini-LED alternatives. German certification institute VDE validated the display's precision color...
Korean technology company Samsung has gained access to NVIDIA's memory supply chain after months of speculation. Reports from Korean media outlets confirm that Samsung will deliver between 30,000 and 50,000 units of 12-layer HBM3E memory modules to the graphics chip manufacturer. These components will support NVIDIA's upcoming Blackwell Ultra product line.
Samsung faced challenges with earlier HBM3 technology due to thermal problems that prevented successful partnerships. The company appears to have resolved these issues while potentially reducing prices to compete against rival SK Hynix. Lower pricing strategies may have influenced NVIDIA's decision to select Samsung as a supplier.
The contract represents a significant recovery for...
