Jensen Huang and King Frederik X of Denmark met on stage in Copenhagen to symbolically plug in the Gefion AI supercomputer. This supercomputer is the first one to be based in Denmark and is designed to drive research in quantum computing, medicine, green energy, and more. It’s built on the Nvidia DGX SuperPOD platform and uses 1,528 Nvidia H100 GPUs, allowing it to fuel the rapid growth of the Danish industry....

Nvidia is reportedly prepping a Blackwell-based Titan graphics card that will deliver unbeatable performance, surpassing even the upcomingGeForce RTX 5090, reportsOverclock3D.netcitingRedGamingTech. The information about Nvidia’s intention to develop its next ‘big’ graphics card has been confirmed by@kopite7kimi, a renowned hardware leaker. But there’s a small catch: Just like the rumoredRTX 4090 Ti / Titan, the product may never see a retail release.Nvidia’s range-topping “Titan AI” is said to be based on the GB202 graphics processor and deliver 63% higher performance compared to theGeForce RTX 4090while also offering a 15% higher performance than the future GeForce RTX 5090, according to RGT....

Nvidia will start sending out engineering samples of its upcomingBlackwell processorsfor AI applications this week, chief executive ofNvidia Jensen Huang said at Siggraph. “This week we are sampling we are sending out engineering samples of Blackwell all over the world they are under people’s chairs right now,” said Huang. Sending samples of Blackwell B100 and B200 processors is a big deal for Nvidia, which plans to ship these products commercially in the fourth quarter....

When U.S. sanctionsbanned the RTX 4090 from being sold to Chinain November, Nvidia scrambled to make a new version,the RTX 4090D. This Chinese version of the 4090has been tested by Expreview, and although many feared this new model would be hobbled by significant reductions to power, cores, and frequency, it turns out that the 4090D is only 5% slower on average.Based on the AD102-250 die as opposed to the 4090’s AD103-300 chip, the 4090D uses a reduced core count with a slightly lower TDP....

Nvidia’s post-Blackwell next generationVera Rubin GPUs for AI and HPC applicationswill enter mass production in late 2025, according to renowned analystMing-Chi Kuo on Medium.com. Nvidia will focus on the power consumption of its data center GPUs with the R100 processors based on the Rubin architecture, as the extreme amounts of power devoured by Blackwell-based processors present a concern for data centers.Nvidia’s Vera Rubin GPUs will be made on one of TSMC’s 3nm-class process technology — most likely using a custom version of the performance-enhanced N3P, though that’s merely our speculation....

An ancient MS-DOS ancestor has beentaken for a test driveby YouTuber and retrocomputing archaeologist Thomas Cherryhomes.86-DOS version 0.1 C, which was unearthed from some dusty closet and added to the Internet Archive recently, was installed, booted, and used to translate and compile an application written for CP/M. Moreover, the task involved disk format juggling,Z80to8086assembly conversion, and the use of editing programs on both platforms. You can see his efforts in the video embedded directly below...

All sorts of stream decks are available on the market today, but where’s the fun buying something you could create from scratch? At least, that seems to be the spirit of theRaspberry Pimaker community, as shown in projects like this one, which was created by maker and developer Last-Shake-9874. Using our favorite SBC, he’s made a Raspberry Pistream deckfrom scratch. If you’re unfamiliar with stream decks, these devices connect to PCs and provide buttons that let you do things like open applications or trigger specific macros....

Tom’s Hardware Verdict If you need the power of the Raspberry Pi 5, but in a more compact form factor, the Compute Module 5 is for you. Otherwise, grab yourself a Raspberry Pi 5. Largely compatible with CM4 products More powerful that CM4 Same form factor as CM4 CM5IO board offers everything that we need Passive cooler works well GPIO works just like a Pi 5 NVMe speed is great...

Many would argue that the best way to enjoy retro gaming is with the original hardware. However, there’s a case to be made for those who like to experiment with modern equipment.
