It offers flexible design options with architecture that lets users adjust power and performance for specific applications.
Micron supports this technology with their advanced DRAM to handle AI workloads better. Montage Technology provides memory buffers that work with Cadence's solution to deliver high performance for servers. These partnerships show how important this technology is for next-generation data centers. Boyd Phelps from...
Hard disk drives use rare earth elements like Neodymium for their magnetic parts. Most recycling misses these valuable materials. Western Digital teamed up with Microsoft, Critical Materials Recycling, and PedalPoint Recycling to fix this problem. They processed about 50,000 pounds of old drives with a new method. Their eco-friendly system recovered nearly 90% of rare elements without using acids.
The materials came from several Microsoft data centers across America. This smart recycling turned 80% of the waste into useful resources. The process cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 95% compared to mining new materials. Everything happens inside the US, making supply chains stronger. This helps many industries that need these materials...
QNAP helps healthcare groups keep medical information safe with strong security measures. Their storage systems protect patient data through multiple layers of defense that meet HIPAA rules. Medical records need long-term storage with good backup systems to follow healthcare laws. QNAP's NAS systems offer advanced protection features like access control, two-factor login, firewalls, login monitoring, data encryption, WORM technology, RAID protection, snapshot backups, threat detection, anti-ransomware shields, and audit logging.
These features help medical centers limit who can see patient records. The systems encrypt data to prevent unauthorized changes. They back up information regularly for quick recovery after problems. QNAP...
Toshiba added new 24 TB hard drives to its N300 series. These drives offer more storage space than earlier 22 TB models. Users can store extra data on their network storage devices with these larger drives. They run all day, every day, at 7200 rpm with special sensors that handle vibrations. The regular N300 works with systems having up to 12 drives, processing 180 TB yearly.
The Pro version supports systems with up to 24 drives, handling 550 TB of data each year. Both models use helium inside to make them more power efficient. Koji Sakamoto from Toshiba says these drives meet growing storage needs for small offices. As files keep getting bigger, people need more space to store everything efficiently. The company designed these drives...
Fujitsu and RIKEN created a powerful 256-qubit superconducting quantum computer at their joint research center. This machine builds on their earlier 64-qubit version from October 2023, using new high-density technology. The breakthrough helps make quantum computers more practical for solving complex world problems.
Both groups will add this quantum computer to their hybrid computing platform, which will be available worldwide starting early fiscal 2025. Growing from 64 to 256 qubits lets users tackle bigger challenges like analyzing larger molecules and testing advanced error correction methods. The team plans to improve how quantum and regular computers work together for better hybrid algorithms.
The new system solves technical...
Huion just released two new tablets, the Kamvas Slate 11 and Kamvas Slate 13. These devices join their Android tablet family, showing how Huion keeps growing its product line. Artists and note-takers who want standalone creative tools with clear displays will love these tablets.
The Kamvas Slate 13 offers a larger 12.7-inch QHD screen with a 4:3 ratio, giving artists more drawing space. The Kamvas Slate 11 comes with a 10.95-inch FHD+ screen, making it easy to carry anywhere. Both tablets feature 90 Hz refresh rates and anti-glare screens that prevent eye strain during long drawing sessions or gaming.
Each tablet comes with an H-Pencil that feels natural to hold. The stylus has 4096 pressure levels and 60-degree tilt detection for...
The MS-CF20 ATX motherboard works with Intel's new 15th Gen Arrow Lake-S chips. It supports many processors, such as Intel Core U9, U7, U5, Pentium, and Celeron. The board comes with four DDR5 memory slots that can handle up to 192 GB of RAM at speeds reaching 5600 MT/s. It offers three display outputs through VGA, DisplayPort, and HDMI connections for multiple screens.
The board features four 2.5GbE LAN ports for networking. Storage options include two M.2 slots, four SATA 3.0 ports, and RAID support. The board has great expansion capabilities with PCIe slots, lots of USB ports, and ten COM ports for industrial use. It keeps legacy support with PS/2 ports, PCI slots, and VGA connections that many industrial systems need.
The MS-CF20...
A new AMD graphics card has popped up in China. The Radeon RX 6500 sits between the RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT models. A company called Zephyr sells these cards in both single-slot and dual-slot versions. The single-slot card, with its small size, looks similar to some RX 6400 models.
The RX 6500 uses the same core design as the XT version. Both cards have 1,024 stream processors, 16 RT units for ray tracing, and 4 GB of memory. They run on the older RDNA 2 architecture, which supports DirectX 12 Ultimate features. The main differences come from power limits and speed. The RX 6500 uses only 55 watts, compared to 107 watts for the XT model.
This power limit causes slower clock speeds on the new card. The RX 6500 has a game clock of 1728...
