AMD brings 32GB Navi 48 XTW to workstations
AMD plans to add its Navi 48 XTW GPU to its workstation lineup soon. This move comes after AMD stepped away from making enthusiast-level graphics cards for regular consumers with its RDNA 4 series.

According to leaker AnhPhuH, the upcoming workstation version will pack 32 GB of memory. The new GPU might belong to AMD's W9000 workstation series, though details remain scarce because this particular product line hasn't been mentioned before. The 32 GB memory configuration, probably GDDR6, would make it the top model in the Navi 48 family when looking at memory capacity. AMD currently prepares to launch the Radeon...

Blessed Geza is a key figure in Zimbabwe's current political troubles.

Geza says he burned cars belonging to wealthy businessmen close to the government because he sees them as crooks. He supports Vice...
Lighter battery puck leak hints at Apple Vision Air
Apple might release a cheaper Vision Pro headset called Vision Air. Many reports say it will come later this year. The new headset should be lighter because some parts will use titanium.

Sonny Dickson shared a picture on X but later removed it. The battery matches a Midnight Blue power cable from earlier leaks. This smaller battery might hold less power, but could run just as long because the Vision Air may use less energy. The headset will likely have an A-series chip instead of an M-series processor. The screen quality might not match the...

They worry about Ladozhskaya station already being overcrowded and traffic jams on nearby streets. Many fear that more buildings will bring more people and harm the environment. Some...
