In addition to CPUs, domestic companies are also beginning to catch up with international standards in the GPU field. A few days ago, Changsha Jingjiawei revealed that the new generation of GPU chips developed by the company is currently in the back-end design, and subsequent progress will be disclosed in regular reports. Although Jing Jiawei did not disclose what the so-called next-generation GPU is, according to the company's previous information, the next-generation GPU chip should be the JM9 series, which has been developed since 2018. On the GPU, Jingjiawei currently has two series, JM5 and JM7. Among them, the JM5400 series has been used in Chinese military aircraft to replace /ATI products, and the JM7200 series uses a 28nm process and has similar performance to NVIDIA’s GT640 graphics card. However, the overall power consumption is less than 10W, which is much lower than the latter's 50WTDP, and some orders have been obtained. The next-generation GPU is the JM9 series. ...

The GTX 1660 Super has a launch price of just $230 USD with comparable performance to the $280 USD 1660 Ti. The 1660 Super has 14 Gbps GDDR6 (versus 12Gbps GDDR6 for the 1660 Ti and 8Gbps GDDR5 for 1660). The 1660 range of cards sits in the sweet spot for many gamers because they offer superb 1080p EFps in popular titles and they are relatively hassled free in terms of noise, compatibility and stability. The 1660S also features Turing NVENC which is far more efficient than CPU encoding and alleviates the need for casual streamers to use a dedicated stream PC. Shop prices will determine which 1660 series card represents the best value over time but at today's prices, the 1660 Super effectively undercuts the 1660 Ti by $50 USD thus challenging the RX 590 in terms of overall value at 1080p. The next step up from the 1660S would be to the $325 RTX 2060. [Oct '19 GPUPro] Poor: 65%Average: 69.9%Great: 74% Popular builds with this GPU MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (MS-7C02) (2,5...

The GTX 1660 Ti the latest mid-range and mid-priced graphics card for gamers, succeeding the now two-year-old GTX 1060 6GB. As NVIDIA has tried to imply with their naming convention, the performance of this 16 series GPU lies somewhere between their 10 series and 20 series but the 16 does not contain any of the recent RTX cores, which given the lack of RTX ready games, by itself is no hindrance at all. The 1660 Ti features a new TU116 Turing based die, 6GB of VRAM, 1536 CUDA cores and has a 120W TDP which is a remarkably low power draw for its performance. The reference GPU clock speeds are 1500MHz and 1770MHz for the base and boost respectively, and manufacturer overclocked speeds will be higher. The 1660 Ti also features Turing NVENC which is far more efficient than CPU encoding and alleviates the need for casual streamers to use a dedicated stream PC. Early benchmarks show that the 1660 Ti has a clear 33% effective speed advantage over its $60 cheaper 1060 6GB predecessor and that i...

The Nvidia GTX 1650 Super features 12Gbps GDDR6 up from 8Gbps of GDDR5 on the “not super” GTX 1650. With a launch price of just $160 the 1650S is aimed squarely at AMD’s 500 series cards. Comparing the GTX 1650S and the RX 590 shows that the 590 leads by 3% but the 1650S is around 10% cheaper. The 1650S has a TDP of 100W which is 50% lower than a typical AMD 500 series card. With a lower TDP, the 1650S requires a less demanding thermal solution and therefore runs a lot quieter. Nvidia’s top value offering prior to the 1650S was the $70 more expensive 1660S which is around 18% faster but also 40% more expensive than the 1650S. Although the 1650S promises to shake up, if not dominate, the value end of the GPU market, street prices are ultimately king. Further price cuts could, once again, bring AMD’s 500 series back into the game.

While the 8x NVIDIA A100 GPU “Delta” platform with NVSwitch got a lot of airtime during the Ampere launch, it was not the only platform being launched today by NVIDIA. The 4x GPU “Redstone” platform is a smaller NVLink mesh platform that is designed to be a lower-cost option. The NVIDIA A100 “Redstone” HGX platform is important since it is a smaller and less complex version of the HGX A100 platform. The Redstone platform incorporates 4x SXM NVIDIA A100 GPUs onto a PCB. As we saw with the Tesla A100 overview, the new GPUs have 12x NVlinks per GPU. Each NVLink provides 50GB/s of GPU-to-GPU bandwidth for 600GB/s total. Redstone takes those 12 NVLinks and splits them into three groups. Instead of the NVIDIA NVSwitch solution we see on the HGX A100 platform, we get a mesh topology without switching. NVIDIA has offered both switched and non-switched systems for some time. This type of topology, NVIDIA has been using for years and is the basis for many important compute nodes. For ...

 Dell EMC is bringing a new GPU-as-a-Service or GPUaaS offering to the market. Underpinning the GPU hardware, Dell EMC is leveraging software from VMware as well as the Bitfusion acquisition to help drive adoption and utilization of accelerated computing. With the solution, instead of targeting those leading companies that have already deployed an AI or HPC solution, Dell EMC is hoping to capture the next wave of adoption by making the task easier. Dell is using this graphic to frame the conversation. If we think of 14.6% of the market using AI today, they are the early adopters who are leaders in the field. Still, that leaves 85.4% of the market that are not leaders and that Dell hopes to service with their solutions. Dell Brings Turnkey GPUaaS for AI and HPC As part of the Dell Technologies strategy, it is leaning on its VMware integration to bring GPU accelerated AI and HPC to vSphere. One will notice that while the company is saying it is for HPC, this is not for high-p...

The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is an enthusiast-class graphics card by NVIDIA, launched in September 2018. Built on the 12 nm process, and based on the TU102 graphics processor, in its TU102-300A-K1-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The TU102 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 754 mm² and 18,600 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked TITAN RTX, which uses the same GPU but has all 4608 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti to reach the product's target shader count. It features 4352 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 88 ROPs. Also included are 544 tensor cores which help improve the speed of machine learning applications. The card also has 68 raytracing acceleration cores. NVID...

Although Ruilong 4000 series desktop APU processors have not been officially released, news about the next generation Ruilong 5000 series has begun to gradually reveal. According to the device ID information captured by Komachi, the AMD Ruilong 5000 APU is code-named "Cezanne (Cezanne)" and the PCI ID is 1638. Previously, the PCI ID of the Ruilong 4000 Renoir APU was 1636. Interestingly, according to Komachi, the partner with Cezanne Zen3 CPU is still GFX9, which is the Vega (Vega) GPU. Of course, AMD will further tap Vega's potential and debug performance. Finally, there is good news. The Ruilong 5000 "Cezanne" APU will retain the AM4 interface. With the realization of Cezanne, we can also sort out Zen3 family products. EPYC server product code is Milan (Milan), desktop HEDT fever platform thread tearer code is Genesis Peak, desktop mainstream platform (Ruilong 4000) code Vermeer (Vermil). In addition, the Zen4 architecture EPYC codename Genoa (Genoa), the...

Tom Warren of TheVerge reported on Twitter that the Xbox Lockhart is equipped with a GPU with 20 computing units and has a floating point performance of about 4 T-Flops, which is much more powerful than the Xbox One X. A report last week cited a rumor that Microsoft is about to launch an affordable Xbox Series S new console, saying it has 7.5GB of available memory. Compared with the Xbox Series X, Tom Warren first guessed that the CPU clock frequency of the Lockhart model may be slightly reduced, but later changed to the same CPU frequency. It is worth mentioning that both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Serie S will support hardware-level ray tracing features, and developers can set the frame rate of 1080p @ 60fps or 1440p @ 30fps. Now, Warren once again shares some internal information about the Lockhart project that Microsoft has not yet released. If the frequency of 20 CUs is 1.6GHz, then its graphics performance is around 4 T-Flops. However, there are rumors that Microsoft may reta...

Those who play games on computers — the kinds that require a decent video graphics card — may sometimes encounter video lag or choppy frame rates. This means that the card’s GPU is struggling to keep up, typically during data-intensive parts of games. There’s a way to surpass this deficiency and improve your system’s gaming prowess, all without having to purchase an upgrade. Just overclock the GPU. Most video graphics cards use default/stock settings that leave some headroom. That means there is more power and capability available, but it's not enabled by the manufacturer. If you have a Windows or Linux OS system (sorry Mac users, but it’s not as easy or worth it to attempt overclocking), you can increase core and memory clock speeds to boost performance. The result improves frame rates, which leads to smoother, more pleasing gameplay. It’s true that reckless GPU overclocking can permanently stop the graphics card from working (i.e. bricking) or shorten the lifespan of a video gr...

Intel's latest and greatest consumer chip, the Core i9-10900K has been criticized, including in our review, for its massive power consumption and all the heat it generates. But this new 10-core chip is an absolute overclocking beast, if you have the right equipment and you know how to use it, as I did when I set several world records, getting a clock speed as high as 7,083 MHz. Due to its lower price and more reasonable power use, the Core i5-10600k is the daily driver of Intel's new Comet Lake S lineup. But the Core i9-10900K is the chip you take to the track on weekends. Yes, it uses a lot of power; it's loud, and it’s raw, but I don't care. Intel’s 14nm++++++  (or whatever the current joke is) process is as refined as 110 octane fuel. The Core i9-10900K comes with more cores than the 9900K, overclocks better, has a stronger memory controller, runs cooler, and it’s priced handsomely. There is everything to like about these chips.
