AMD’s upcoming Ryzen 7 5700X3D was tested inGeekbench 6, producing benchmark scores incredibly close to its bigger and older sibling, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. The 5700X3D’s scores are so close, it’s surprising. If the 5700X3D’s performance behavior in Geekbench extends to its real-world gaming performance, value-oriented gamers and enthusiasts will have another phenomenal X3D chip to choose from on the AM4 platform that could make it into our list ofbest CPUs for gamingshortly....

ASRock (viamomomo_us) has rebranded the company’s Navi 31-based AMDRadeonRX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX WS graphics cards to the new Creator series for generative AI workloads and workstation setups. These WS series graphics cards originally debuted duringComputex2024. Quite notably, both the WS series (now the Creator series GPUs) are the first AMD cards to use the16-pin power connector(12V-2x6), which until now was found in Nvidia’sGeForce RTX 40-seriesgraphics cards. Originally, both variants used two 8-pin PCIe connectors, but it makes sense for such graphics cards to transition towards the newer standard as newer high-wattage power supplies have multiple 16-pin connectors for multi-GPU clusters....

When I first wrote about this compact and cost-effective toolkit, I had no idea how popular it would become. A sub-$10 toolkit shouldn’t be this popular, right? Right now, the Strebito precision screwdriver set has 40% off, taking it down below the magic $10 threshold, making it an impulse purchase for those of us who like to fix things. This small kit has all the tools to get you started with your first / next PC build....

The build plate is at the literal foundation of your 3D printer, and it can determine the success or failure of your prints more than any other feature. A single greasy fingerprint can be all it takes to turn a delicate model into a pile of spaghetti. And yet, we take the stock build plates that ship with our printers for granted, especially if we paid high dollar for the 3D printer itself....

Footage of an RTX 5090D has been making the rounds on the Chinese video platform Bilibili, showing a two-slot design and a rear-mounted power connector. Popular hardware leaker Uniko’s Hardware shared the post onX (formerly Twitter), with the video creator comparing it to a blower-style RTX 4090D from Asus. The video shared bySu-A computeron Bilibili also showed the card’s GPU-Z reading, proving that it uses the same GB202 chip with 32 GB of GDDR7 VRAM....

Tech startup Hubble Network has made history by making a Bluetooth connection from Earth to a satellite600 km away, the first company ever to achieve this feat. Claiming the connection to its own satellite required only one software update on the terrestrial Bluetooth device, the exciting event sets a precedent for a massively improved future ofBluetooth, culminating in a fully accessible via Bluetooth satellite network by Hubble Network. Hubble Network’s two satellites currently in orbit both possess 3....

Chinese DRAM makers Changxin Memory (CXMT) and Fujian Jinhua are aggressively expanding production and cutting prices, reportsDigiTimes. Right now, the two manufacturers sell their DDR4 components with a 50% discount compared to similar ICs made by South Korean makers and in some cases, these DRAMs are even cheaper than reballed (recycled/re-used) memory chips. CXMT’s production capacity has surged from 70,000 wafers per month (WPM) in 2022 to 200,000 WPM in 2024, the report says....
