World's Fastest Camera Drone Vs F1 Car (ft. Max Verstappen) - [off-topic]
07:47 AM EST - Mar,01 2024 - post a comment This is Formula 1 like you've never seen it before. The @dutchdronegods follow Max Verstappen's brand new @redbullracing RB20 F1 car for a full lap of Silverstone's Grand Prix Circuit. The world first uninterrupted FPV one shot was captured by a manually piloted custom built drone, designed specifically for the challenge of keeping up with the car at speeds of over 300kph.
It took Red Bull and the Dutch Drone Gods over a year to create a drone that can accelerate two times faster than an F1 car, reaching 300 km/h in just 4 seconds with a top speed of over 350 km/h. The development was accelerated by access to know-how and processes of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, a high-performance engineering arm of Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 team and trialled behind the RB8 and RB19 cars driven by @liamlawson30 and David Coulthard.

NVIDIA Geforce 551.61 WHQL Driver released - [briefly]
04:38 AM EST - Feb,23 2024 - post a comment NVIDIA has released the latest version of GeForce drivers. While the actual driver package of the new GeForce 551.61 is WHQL, it also includes a beta version of the NVIDIA App. This is NVIDIA's take on a modern control panel application that combines functionality of the classic NVIDIA Control Panel that hasn't quite changed in 20+ years; and the GeForce Experience application that not everyone likes to have installed. The new NVIDIA App has a lot in common with the AMD Radeon Software application, in that you can configure your displays, monitor and tune your GPU, as well as manage and optimize your installed games. The app also helps gather and present software update options spanning both the main drivers and application profiles for DLSS and other technologies. Most importantly, the NVIDIA App provides a comprehensive performance overlay suite. We will be doing an article detailing the NVIDIA App before the weekend.
NVIDIA is also debuting RTX HDR, a technology that adds HDR capability to games that otherwise lack it. It does so by utilizing Tensor cores and an AI model that attempts to add HDR to SDR content. The driver adds optimization and optimal settings for Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Nightingale, Pacific Drive, and Skull and Bones. A stability issue with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege running using the Vulkan API has been fixed. Among the general issues fixed concern incorrect tone mapping for RTX Video HDR; poor SDR video playback quality in Chromium-based web-browsers with Windows HDR setting enabled; filter settings not carrying over with NVIDIA Freestyle; and a couple of bugs with Adobe Substance 3D.

Tear-Down of Arctic's Liquid Freezer III CPU Cooler & Disassembly - [hardware]
11:56 AM EST - Feb,21 2024 - post a comment The Arctic Liquid Freezer III is the new best liquid cooler for CPUs that we've tested, and now we're tearing it down to learn about how it's assembled and what the differences are versus the original Liquid Freezer II. The Liquid Freezer III is a value-focused, high-performance liquid cooler that has a drastically different pump block (with separable VRM fan unit), and the coldplate itself underwent changes for this new version -- something we weren't expecting. The ability to repair and disassembly the Liquid Freezer 3 should make it easier to maintain long-term.

The New Best: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 & 280 CPU Cooler Review - [hardware]
12:53 PM EST - Feb,20 2024 - post a comment Arctic is launching the new Liquid Freezer III cooler, which immediately set forth to take the top rank as the best noise-normalized CPU cooler in our benchmarks. The Liquid Freezer II established itself as the best liquid cooler in our tests many years ago. In the time since, it's been dethroned on some technicalities at times, but often finds its way back to the top of rankings through value and noise-to-thermal efficiency. We're benchmarking and reviewing the new Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 and A-RGB 280 today vs. the Lian Li Trinity Performance, the DeepCool Mystique, other AIOs, and air coolers like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin.

Intel Arc 2024 Revisit & Benchmarks (A750, A770, A580, A380 Updated GPU Tests) - [briefly]
03:32 AM EST - Feb,19 2024 - post a comment A few months ago, we revisited Intel's user-facing drivers (including Arc Control) to see how they'd improved over one year of patches. Now, we're benchmarking the Intel Arc lineup in more depth to see how they compete with NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards in 2024. These Intel Arc GPU benchmarks include the A770, A750, A580, and A380 video cards vs. the RTX 4060, RX 6600 and 6600 XT, RX 7600, 7600 XT, and more. We're seeking to answer whether Intel Arc is any good (yet), and specifically, how it competes in the value side of the market with AMD. Large parts of this video will be simple discussion about the interesting way this battle is playing out: Namely, with AMD and Intel fighting over the modern "low end" while NVIDIA leaves it relatively untouched with new parts.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 - NOT AGAIN - [mobile]
04:23 PM EST - Feb,18 2024 - post a comment Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will retain the same camera system as its predecessor. A few days back, rumors were floating around that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 might snag the S24 Ultra's main camera. But anyone who's into tech knew that sounded too good to be true. Also, one of the batteries of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has been leaked and it shows that just like the S24, the Z Fold 6 will also feature a battery that's placed inside an adhesive pouch with a pull tab, which will make it easier to replace the battery if you ever need to.

Apple Vision Pro Returns Begin as Owners Complain of Headaches, Eye Strain, Burst Blood Vessels - [briefly]
06:45 PM EST - Feb,16 2024 - post a comment Apple may have missed the mark with the Vision Pro,
according to an uptick of owners online who say they've taken advantage
of Apple's 14-day return policy by refunding the $3,500 headset and
getting their money back. Comfort, headache, eye
strain, motion
sickness, and even "a burst blood vessel" are some of the reasons
why customers aren't happy with the product, which Apple has described
as "a revolutionary spatial computer that transforms how people work,
collaborate, connect, relive memories, and enjoy entertainment."
Users say:
- "Extreme headaches (first in decades). I can't wear [them] more
than 10 minutes without extreme discomfort. Feels like a torture
session just trying to keep it on. I have no idea how all these
streamers can play for hours. After 10 minutes I feel like I'm about to
have a heart attack."
- "I unfortunately am also having severe headaches when I wear this
for more than 30-45 minutes. This is so devastating as I love
everything else about the AVP. I would like to think with continued use
I would get used to this but it is too expensive to take that bet past
the 14-day return period. I am returning mine today."
- "I used them for like 6 hours. I was even addicted to them and
now I don't want to touch them at all because of my eye fatigue. Feel
like complete shit."
- "I have moderate-severe motion sickness and used my friend's
headset for less than 5 minutes before feeling sick. Literally just
tried to search for a YouTube video and started feeling queasy. I would
not recommend anyone with severe motion sickness try these. It's
possible they get better over time but I'm definitely not putting one
of these on again!"

Intel Seeks $2 Billion in Funding for Ireland Fab 34 Expansion - [briefly]
03:38 AM EST - Feb,16 2024 - post a comment According to a Bloomberg report, Intel is seeking to raise at least $2 billion in equity funding from investors for expanding its fabrication facility in Leixlip, Ireland, known as Fab 34. The chipmaker has hired an advisor to find potential investors interested in providing capital for the project. Fab 34 is currently Intel's only chip plant in Europe that uses cutting-edge extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. It produces processors on the Intel 4 process node, including compute tiles for Meteor Lake client CPUs and expected future Xeon data center chips. While $2 billion alone cannot finance the construction of an entirely new fab today, it can support meaningful expansion or upgrades of existing capacity. Intel likely aims to grow Fab 34's output and/or transition it to more advanced 3 nm-class technologies like Intel 3, Intel 20A, or Intel 18A.
Expanding production aligns with Intel's needs for its own products and its Intel Foundry Services business, providing contract manufacturing. Intel previously secured a $15 billion investment from Brookfield Infrastructure for its Arizona fabs in exchange for a 49% stake, demonstrating the company's willingness to partner to raise capital for manufacturing projects. The Brookfield deal also set a precedent of using outside financing to supplement Intel's own spending budget. It provided $15 billion in effectively free cash flow Intel can redirect to other priorities like new fabs without increasing debt. Intel's latest fundraising efforts for the Ireland site follow a similar equity investment model that leverages outside capital to support its manufacturing expansion plans. Acquiring High-NA EUV machinery for manufacturing is costly, as these machines can reach up to $380 million alone. |
Framerate Isn't Good Enough: Latency Pipeline, "Input Lag," Reflex, & Engineering Interview - [briefly]
02:51 AM EST - Feb,16 2024 - post a comment This engineering interview & discussion follows-up our previous industry interviews with people like Tom Petersen of Intel and Bill Alverson of AMD, but now featuring Guillermo Siman of NVIDIA, who joins to discuss the engineering aspects of latency. We've recently been talking about an increase in our focus in testing on latency, adding to our existing FPS benchmarks, and this discussion is to help provide an educational backdrop on what truly comprises end-to-end system latency. We'll focus on the latency pipeline, educational topics such as how the game engine handles and processes input, peripheral latency, and system-level latency (such as from the render queue). These topics also cover various types of bottlenecks.
