Using the famously flexible and customizable Framework laptop design, YouTuber noisycarlos has successfully converted a Framework laptop into an All-In-One PC workstation. What’s more, he’s also selling aFramework 13 Conversionkit that he developed during the process, so you could even choose to make your own Framework AIO PC if you so pleased. So, why go through all this trouble to turn a laptop into…not a laptop? Essentially, noisycarlos found himself doing a lot of work and travel on the go, and found that laptops really weren’t ideal for his use case....

TheRaspberry Piis an awesome platform for learning and experimentation. In its first 13 years it has helped many users learn to code, build robots and monitor the location of the International Space Station (they’ve even been onboard the ISS!), and so much more. But to make the most of the Pi, it helps to have the right expansion board. Originally the Raspberry Pi didn’t have a standard definition for boards. The first official expansion, 2012’sGertBoardwas larger than the Pi itself!...

Steam lets you see how much total funds you’ve poured into your account over the years, and many users are shocked to find out how much of their net worth they’ve poured into their accounts. It all started whenReddituser u/HappyMcflappyy shared their Steam Points balance of 3,566,945. Given that you earn 100 points for every dollar spent on the platform, that means they had sunk over $35,000 into games and other apps....

Amid a fierce trade war with the US, China’s General Administration of Customs has changed its rules of how the origin of imported chips must be classified, now deeming that the wafer fabrication location should be counted as the origin of chips shipped to the country. This rule exempts products from AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Intel, and other chipmakers who outsource wafer fabrication to Taiwanese companies from the punitive 125% tariff China now imposes on products from the U....

A team of researchers in China has demonstrated how a low-cost Nvidia Jetson TX2i system-on-chip for industrial applications can significantly enhance capabilities of hypersonic weapons — achieving speeds above Mach 7, according to a report by theSouth China Morning Post. This SoC, which is not restricted by U.S. export controls and is much more affordable than high-end options, could enhance China’s military capability. TheNvidia Jetson TX2i processor(featuring two Denver 2 cores, two Arm Cortex-A57s, and a Pascal GPU with 256 CUDA cores) was originally designed for industrial applications but has been adapted by the research team to work within air-breathing hypersonic aircraft....

Cloud provider Cloudflare has upgraded its server infrastructure with AMD’s latest generation EPYC Genoa-X processors armed with 3D V-Cache technology.Cloudflare reportsa 145% improvement in performance and a 63% improvement in efficiency over its previous generation servers, which were also EPYC-powered. The new “Gen 12” servers come with AMD’s EPYC 96-Core 9684XGenoa-Xprocessor featuring over one gigabyte of L3 cache. The system features 384GB of DDR5 4800MHz DDR5 memory operating in a 12-channel memory configuration, dual E1....

Intel has released the company’sCore Ultra 200S(codenamed Arrow Lake) in the shape of the K-series chips, such as theCore Ultra 9 285K, which competes against thebest CPUs. The non-K SKUs will arrive later;Benchleakshas uncovered an unannounced Core Ultra 7 265 in a Geekbench 6 GPU result. The test seems to have been runon a Lenovo desktop with the unlocked, lower-power version of Intel’s recently released Core Ultra 7 265K. However, Geekbench identified the Lenovo PC as “LENOVO F,” which isn’t a model name, making it hard to figure out what sort of desktop the Core Ultra 7 265 ran in....

Tom’s Hardware Verdict The Corsair MP600 Core Mini is a good counterpart to the original MP600 Mini, utilizing QLC instead of TLC to reach up to 2TB in the M.2 2230 form factor. Performance is good enough, but less impressive in sustained and PCIe 4.0 modes. Up to 2TB in M.2 2230 Good performance for PCIe 3.0 and the Deck Uses QLC NAND flash Lower PCIe 4.0 and sustained performance...

Tom’s Hardware Verdict The Corsair MP700 Pro SE is Corsair’s second generation PCIe 5.0 SSD, this time making full use of the interface. It’s faster and Corsair offers multiple SKUs to keep everybody happy, but the drive breaks no new barriers. Top notch all around performance Good sustained write performance High power consumption High cost Why you’re able to trust Tom’s HardwareOur expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you....

Everything you run on your computer is processed by the CPU, including graphics-intensive games. And afaster CPU meansbetter performanceand a higher FPS, in most cases. I emphasize in most cases because there is a point of diminishing returns when it comes to FPS. Depending on your current system, there’salso a chance you may not get an FPS increase using a faster CPU. This is due to your GPU. CPU and GPU work together hand-in-hand when generating and rendering frames....

A high school student created aDoom(1993) port inside a PDF file. Ading2210 created DoomPDF, inspired by therecent release of Pdftris—Tetris(1985) in a PDF and a version ofBreakout(1976) ported to a PDF container several years ago. Like PDFtris, DoomPDF relies on the support of the document file format for Javascript. Still, this time, those interested in playing must fire up a Chromium-based browser to satisfy their curiosity. Ading2210 comments that the JS specification for Adobe Acrobat is extensive, supporting things you would expect to be well beyond its scope, like 3D rendering and monitor detection....
