Intel faces tough times as it heads toward its April 24 earnings report. New CEO Lip-Bu Tan must deal with money problems at the computer chip maker. The company will likely show its fourth straight quarter of falling sales with a 3.4% revenue drop, Reuters reports. Losses may grow to about $945 million compared to $381 million last year. Both AMD and NVIDIA keep taking business from Intel in different markets.
The PC division might see an 11% sales decrease to $6.73 billion. The data center arm probably faces its twelfth straight quarter of declining numbers. Hendi Susanto from Gabelli Funds says investors need Tan to prove he can fix these problems. Tan has already cut more than 20% of workers at Intel. He also changed how leaders...
Silicon Power just launched its Inspire microSDXC memory card for people who make videos, create content, or play handheld games. The card reads data at speeds up to 170 MB/s and writes at speeds up to 160 MB/s. It works with UHS-I U3 and V30 video ratings, making it perfect for filming 4K videos on drones or action cameras. Users can also run mobile games or store professional work on portable game systems and Android phones.
The card comes in three sizes: 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. A larger 1 TB version will arrive during the second quarter of this year. The company built these cards with 3D TLC NAND chips for better performance and longer life. When users connect it through the C200 USB Type-C card reader, they can transfer files...
Addlink Technology just released its new P30 USB4.0 Super-Speed Magnetic SSD for people who need fast portable storage. This small drive works at speeds up to 4000 MB/s, which lets users move a 10 GB file in about 2.5 seconds. The credit card-sized device sticks to iPhones with MagSafe, helping creators record Apple ProRes 4K video at 120 Hz without holding their phone. Its tough case stands up to rough use but still looks sleek enough for business meetings.
The P30 connects through USB-C to many devices, such as smartphones, computers, Macs, PS5 consoles, and others. With this one little drive, users can edit videos on laptops, add storage to phones, or expand game space on consoles. Travelers will like how light it feels and how...
SK Hynix conducted customer checks on its 96 GB CMM-DDR5, a new DRAM product based on CXL 2.0. The company says servers with this product can process data 36 GB per second. This comes from a 50% increase in space and 30% better speed than older DDR5 parts. These changes help users spend less money when they build and run data centers.
After testing the 96 GB product, SK hynix started tests for a 128 GB version with another customer. This newer item uses 32 GB DDR5 DRAM made with their fifth-gen 10-nanometer method, giving strong output for each watt used. The firm wants to finish testing the 128 GB model quickly to create a full range of CXL products for users. SK hynix also aims to grow the CXL system along with making CXL DRAM. They...
G.SKILL offers memory kits that support Intel 200S Boost for better performance. Their DDR5 memory works with Intel Core Ultra 200S processors on Z890 motherboards. The new feature helps computers run faster without manual tweaking. Users need only enable it in BIOS settings for improved speed.
The system automatically adjusts memory settings along with CPU values, giving extra power for gaming or heavy tasks. G.SKILL tested these memory kits up to DDR5-8000 speeds. The maximum voltage stays at 1.4 V to keep systems stable. Each kit comes with Intel XMP 3.0 profiles built in for easy setup.
New NVIDIA RTX 50 cards show troubling heat problems on their backs. Tests from Igor's Lab found temperatures over 100°C near power delivery parts even when the main chip stays below 80°C. These hot areas appear because heat builds up in thin copper layers inside the circuit board. Graphics card makers Palit, PNY, and MSI all face similar issues since they follow NVIDIA's designs closely. The problem stems from separate teams working on circuit boards and cooling systems without enough coordination.
NVIDIA gives partners detailed guides about heat management that assume perfect lab conditions. Real computers at home behave differently. Circuit boards force electricity through very thin copper paths that connect through tight spots...
AMD released new Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 25.4.1 Optional Beta drivers yesterday. These drivers add FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 to six games, such as The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. They also support Amuse 3 with AMD-optimized models for Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards.
The update fixes several problems for users. It corrects lighting issues in Topaz Photo AI on RX 9000 cards. It removes screen flicker when people use AMD FreeSync. The drivers improve AI performance on RX 7000 GPUs. They fix image problems in Amuse 3.0 diffuser models on high-end hardware.
Players will notice smoother gameplay in World of Warcraft areas. Cameras work again after factory resets on Ryzen AI Max devices. AMD Chat installation...
Intel offers 200S Boost software for faster performance on Core Ultra 200S processors. Users need Z890 motherboards with XMP 3.0 compatible memory to use this feature. G.SKILL created DDR5 memory sticks that work perfectly with Intel's new boost system. The automatic program changes CPU settings in BIOS when paired with these parts. Everything happens with one click instead of making users adjust complex settings themselves.
The system applies correct memory settings and improves CPU speed for better results overall. G.SKILL tested their DDR5-8000 memory kits to make sure they run smoothly with the 200S Boost technology. These fast memory modules operate at 1.4V maximum, keeping systems stable during intense gaming or professional...
Addlink just released its P30 USB 4.0 Magnetic SSD for people who want fast portable storage. The new drive transfers files at speeds up to 4000 MB/s thanks to USB 4.0 technology. Users can move a 10 GB file in about 2.5 seconds. This helps professionals working with 4K videos or large image files save time during their projects. The speed makes a real difference when handling heavy media work.
