Gigabyte showed off its new AI TOP ATOM at Computex this year. The company built this tiny supercomputer based on NVIDIA DGX Spark tech. It packs serious power in a small case with its GB10 Grace Blackwell Superchip. The device delivers about 1,000 AI TOPS, making it 20 to 50 times faster than current NPU engines.
Inside the machine, fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 support sit. These cores can handle a trillion operations every second for AI tasks. The system uses Micron LPDDR5X memory chips with high bandwidth. The team labeled the GB10 chip as an engineering sample, meaning the final product might change before release.
Gigabyte claims the ATOM can work with 70 billion parameters for AI models. Two units connected through...

Leaker Kopite7kimi shared new details about the upcoming NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER graphics card. The card will keep the same 10752 cores as the standard RTX 5080, but comes with a new GPU model number, GB203-450, instead of GB203-400. It needs more power at 400W or higher compared to the regular model's 360W limit.
The RTX 5080 SUPER will pack 24GB of memory, a big jump from the 16GB in the standard version. This memory runs faster at 32 Gbps instead of 30 Gbps, giving it about 7% more bandwidth at 1024 GB/s. Gamers might see around 5% better performance from these changes, similar to past SUPER upgrades.
NVIDIA hasn't announced when these cards will arrive in stores, and computer makers haven't started talking about them either...
