Top Story
- Computex is here and Nvidia has announced another new graphics card. This model has 144TB of RAM, is cabled up with 150 miles of fiber optics, and weighs 40,000 pounds. (Tom's Hardware)
You can't even afford to ask for the price for this one.
Tech News
- The Snapdragon 8cx gen 4 is 32% faster than Apple's M4, at least on one benchmark. (WCCFTech)
Of course, neither chip is out yet, so take that with a sack of salt.
But it does look like the commodity Arm market is finally shaking off the dust and competing seriously with Intel and AMD for laptop parts.
- Meanwhile Arm announced an entire family of new cores, with 40% better performance, making them 15% faster. (AnandTech)
The catch there is that mobile chips come with a mix of fast, power-hungry cores, and slower more efficient cores. It's the slower cores that are 40% faster, and the faster cores are only 15% faster. That fast core - the Cortex X4 - is alternatively 40% more efficient for the same performance, but expect phone manufacturers to take the 15% and sacrifice your battery.
But the mid-tier and low-end A720 and A520 cores are both faster and more efficient, so if you're in the market for a $500 phone - or a $250 one - rather than a $1000 model, things look a bit brighter.
