Nvidia has published thefirst MLPerf 4.1 results of its Blackwell B200 processor. The results reveal that a Blackwell GPU offers up to four times the performance of its H100 predecessor based on the Hopper architecture, highlighting Nvidia’s position as the leader in AI hardware. There are some caveats and disclaimers that we need to point out, however.Based on Nvidia’s results, a Blackwell-based B200 GPU delivers 10,755 tokens/second on a single GPU in a server inference test and 11,264 tokens/second in an offline reference test....

The global server market experienced an unprecedented surge to nearly $100 billion in the first quarter as companies heavily invested in AI-related infrastructure, according toIDC, and ‘accelerated’ servers running Arm-based processors comprise one of the most rapidly growing categories, with Arm-powered server shipments rising 70% this year. It appears that the vast majority of these Arm-powered machines are Nvidia’s GB200 NVL72 rack-scale solution, based on the Grace Blackwell platform, which features an Nvidia Grace CPU and eight B200 AI GPUs per server....

L1 and L2 cache specs for Nvidia’s new RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 have cropped up.HardwareLuxx reportsthat theRTX 5090 and 5080have the same L1 cache capacity per SM as the 4090 and 4080, and the 5090 has 36% more L2 cache compared to its predecessor. L1 cache capacityper SMreportedly remains the same on GB202 as is on AD102, featuring 128 kB of capacity per SM. As a result, the RTX 5090 features 21....

Following the near-completePS5 Prospecs list leak earlier this month, leaked info verified by Tom Henderson atInsider Gamingpoints toward the specific requirements for games to receive “PS5 Pro Enhanced” labeling, codenamed “Trinity Enhanced” internally. The ideal “Trinity Enhanced” mode is described as usingPSSRto upscale resolution to 4K, achieving a constant 60 FPS, and adding or increasing ray tracing effects compared to the stock PS5 version, which may or may not have RT....

What makes aRaspberry Piproject tactical? Maker and developer Media-Grizzly has their own ideas with this cool, portable Pi-powered software-defined radio (SDR) system they built from scratch dubbed theD.E.S.E.R.T Pi-Powered Tactical System. Not only does it work as a handy SDR on the go, it doubles as a drone jammer that can disable nearby drones with the flip of a switch. It’s got a handful of features with plenty of room for modification in the future....

If your printer says “Out of paper” despite having a lot of paper, it is most likely aglitch in the printer’s memory. I have fixed such issues several times on my HP printer just byrestarting it.

There are all sorts of coolaudio-basedRaspberry Piprojects out there but sometimes you need something a little more niche. Today we’re sharing a really cool creation put together by Dan McCreary that uses aRaspberry Pi Pico 2to drive a customFFT sound spectrum analyzer. This gadget provides real time visual output of soundwaves and best of all, you can make it yourself! If you’re not familiar with the term, FFT stands for “Fast Fourier Transform”....

Some of the bestRaspberry Piprojects are the ones that are flexible in a variety of situations — and even better are the ones made for gaming. Today we’ve got a project to share, created by maker and developer Mike Tan, that tackles both of these. This RP2040-poweredwireless scoreboardhelps you keep score for all sorts of games. The scoreboard was originally created by Tan as a way to keep track of scores for Drone Soccer matches....

Coming up with a fresh bedtime story can be a challenge, so why not automate the process? That’s exactly what maker and developer Thomas Valadez has done with his latestRaspberry Piproject. Using our favorite SBC, thisStorybook Pigenerates stories with a little help from AI and comes with a picture to go along with the story based on its description. All of thegenerative AIhappens locally on the Pi using a couple of open-source AI tools....
