A fraud trial continued Friday against Clark and Beverly Makoni, who deny stealing from former Reserve Bank head Gideon Gono. The couple allegedly transferred Valley Lodge into their names and took ZW137 million, about US$70,000. They face charges before Regional Magistrate Stanford Mambanje. The state brought Lindiwe Sabeka as a witness, who said she worked as an internal auditor at Galwex. She claimed her company found the fraud during an audit.
Sabeka told the court that the Makonis paid themselves salaries against real estate law and sent money to their accounts. Defense lawyer Admire Rubaya questioned her professional credentials when she failed to show proof of her auditor status or fraud examiner membership. The lawyer said her...
Nvidia raised prices on most graphics cards early this year after new export rules came into effect. The company moved some production to Arizona factories instead of Taiwan. American factories cost more money to run than Asian plants, and materials and shipping also became more expensive for the tech maker. Nvidia changed prices to keep making the same profit as before.
Stores in Europe have not raised their prices much for regular shoppers. Many sellers keep old price tags even though they pay more to Nvidia. Gamers can still find cards without major price jumps for a short time. Nvidia also created a special H20 chip that can legally ship to Chinese markets. This new chip works around the strict rules about what tech can leave...

AMD splits its new EPYC Venice processors into two different types. Zen 6 runs faster clock speeds for quick tasks. Zen 6C packs more processing cores for handling many jobs at once. Data centers need to match these chips to their specific needs. Each processor contains eight clusters of mini-processors around central parts that handle memory traffic.
Regular Zen 6 chips contain 96 cores total, enough for 192 tasks at once. The beefier Zen 6C model reaches 256 cores, managing 512 tasks simultaneously. Memory caches grow larger with each new design, reaching 384 MB in Zen 6 models. The Zen 6C carries an impressive 1024 MB of cache memory. Both designs improve on earlier Turin processors significantly.
Zen 6 chips use more electricity...

A photo leaked online shows the upcoming Acer Nitro Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card with two DisplayPort and one HDMI connector. This setup limits users to three monitors at once. The card runs on the Navi 44 chip, first designed for laptops. AMD made similar choices with the RX 6500 XT back in 2022 to reduce power use and keep prices down. The photo reveals an 8-pin power connector, suggesting the card will use about 160 watts at most.
The RX 9060 XT can reach speeds up to 3.3 GHz and comes with 2,048 stream processors, exactly half of what the RX 9070 XT offers. Performance should match the Nvidia RTX 4060 for 1080p games, especially newer DirectX 12 titles. Buyers will choose between 8 GB models priced around $289 and 16 GB versions...
