The newest insider builds ofWindows 11are allowing users to create and clean install onto freshly formatted NTFS (Default) or ReFS partitions. Windows Insider sleuthPhantomOfEarthhighlighted this new option, which seems to have come along with Build 27823. The arrival of ReFS, which stands for Resilient File System, should be beneficial in several ways, as it can unlock faster performance, improve data integrity, and boost partition handling up to 35 petabytes. However, it has some drawbacks compared to the old established NTFS, and currently can’t be used for bootable or removable media, for example....

The company was founded in 2018, around the same time Nvidia started dipping its toes into artificial intelligence with technologies like deep learning supersampling....

Although Nvidia’s GPUs rely on proprietary CUDA cores that feature their instruction set architecture and support for various data formats, these cores are controlled by custom cores that rely on the industry-standard RISC-V ISA, albeit with some extensions, the company revealed at the RISC-V Summit this month (viaNickBrownHPC). Modern GPUs are highly complex system-on-chips with a massive number of functions and resources — starting from compute resources and power management and all the way to display engines andsecurity— that must be managed....

Releasing a new GPU architecture is a complex affair. Nvidia should know this as well as any company, considering it’s been making graphics cards for 27 years now, every one of which needed drivers. But theNvidia Blackwell RTX 50-series GPUshaven’t had the smoothest of launches. TheRTX 5090at least offers new levels of performance, while theRTX 5080delivers only slightly better performance than the prior generation RTX 4080 Super. But both GPUs seem to be suffering from a case of early drivers and the need for additional tuning....

After Raspberry Pi expert Jeff Geerling released his findings aboutdelidding the 2GB Raspberry Pi 5, the YouTuberpersisted in his adventureto properly benchmark the SBC with its new D0 stepping. Despite learning that Geekbench needed more than 2GB of memory, Geerling wasn’t ready to give up. He succeeded, confirming the 2GB SBC performs much the same as the other, more memory-gifted variants. Geerling followed two routes to check thebenchmarksfor the 2GB Raspberry Pi 5’s BCM2712D0 chip....

When it comes to sovereign computing, it either goes south due to a lack of resources — or it goes the Chinese knockoff way and ceases to be sovereign. AfterPutin ordered the governmentto develop a Russian game console in the spring, the Russian industry haschosen to go both ways. One is to design a sovereign console based on a dual-core homegrown Elbrus processor,Habr.com reports; another is to build a cloud gaming service based on cheap consumer hardware and call it sovereign, as it looks from anRBCreport....

One of the best things about ROBLOX is just how customizable it is. It’s a space where you’re able to express yourself from server to server.

I’ve witnessed a few great deals floating around the interwebs today, but one that’s caught my attention is this limited-time offer on a new AM5 motherboard from MSI. It offers a massive discount and all the features I’d be looking for in a new gaming PC build. Gone are the days when I could build a good gaming PC for under $600, with PC component prices rising to astronomical levels. Just the graphics card alone would eat up that budget....
