POSTER: computer news   ||    SIXTEEN-CORE AMD RYZEN THREADRIPPER FLASHES IN PRICE AGGREGATORS	DATE:2017-05-27
Now we already know, after  AMD representatives clarifying , that there will be no "Ryzen 9" series, and "Ryzen Threadripper" will become an active trademark. Separate Greek shops have already reserved seats on their virtual display cases for two models of AMD family of processors Ryzen Threadripper.  Both combine 16 cores and 32 threads, use the Socket SP3r2 design and  Zen architecture.  However, the older 1998X processor not only has a higher nominal frequency (3.5 GHz), but is also endowed with an increased frequency potential in overclocking.  The 1998 model has a base frequency of 3.2 GHz, and its overclocking capabilities are more modest.  Both processors should enter the market in the summer of this year, for sure AMD will tell about them in the morning on the nearest Wednesday.

POSTER: computer news   ||   OVERCLOCKING THREE GEFORCE GTX 980 TI VIDEO CARDS	DATE:2017-05-27
Most of the extreme overclocking records take so much energy from their authors that they prefer not to waste time describing experiments.  Traktor overclocked three video cards GeForce GTX 980 Ti.  As power supply was used Corsair power unit with a power of 1200 W. Note that the power supply capacity was still not enough for a stable power supply of all the components of the overclocked system.  In the 3DMark Fire Strike test, when the voltage on the graphics processors is more than 1.23 V, the system regularly rebooted.  The large heatsink of the self-made liquid cooling system had to stop all nine of its fans in such a situation, so that the power supply unit somehow managed. The central processor Core i7-5960X (Haswell-E) was cooled using the same homemade liquid system, its frequency was kept at 4.8 GHz or 5.0 GHz, depending on the test.  The result of all these events was the best results among the bundles of three GeForce GTX 980 Ti video cards in the following disciplines: 101 201 3DMark2001 SE at the frequencies of video cards 1545/8164 MHz; 17 685 points 3DMark Time Spy at the frequencies of video cards 1545/8164 MHz; 26 629 points 3DMark11 Extreme at frequencies of video cards 1545/8164 MHz.

POSTER: computer news   ||    SOFTBANK MAY INCREASE ITS STAKE IN NVIDIA	DATE:2017-05-27
As we recently noted , the Japanese company Softbank, which recently took over the assets of ARM, managed to not attract public attention to the fact of owning a package of 4.9% of NVIDIA shares for a long time.  After crossing the five-percent threshold, Softbank would not be able to remain in the shadows - first of all, for the reason that even with the current structure of NVIDIA shareholders, the Japanese company is the fourth largest of them. Bloomberg, referring to its own sources, said that Softbank has a plan to increase its share in the capital of NVIDIA.  The most interesting thing is that Japanese investors are ready to influence the management of the American company.  This means that the demand for NVIDIA assets in this case is not only of an investment nature. Will NVIDIA under the influence of Softbank pay more attention to products with ARM architecture, we are not going to say.  The option of cooperation in new spheres, which both companies consider promising, is not excluded.  For example, the segment of artificial intelligence systems certainly has a decent financial return, and NVIDIA already has plans to use its computing accelerators in this industry.

POSTER: computer news   ||    TSMC PROMISES A MORE FUNCTIONAL 7-NM PROCESS TECHNOLOGY THAN SAMSUNG	DATE:2017-05-27
The management of TSMC company often and willingly shares plans for business development.  This has a special meaning.  Developers of microelectronics must know in advance what they will have to work with in a year, two or later.  Samsung followed a different strategy.  Until May this year, it also had an excuse.  Formally, Samsung was not one of the contract manufacturers of chips.  Only recently, a semiconductor manufacturing unit was allocated to a separate subsidiary.  We should expect that now we will hear more about the production plans of this South Korean giant. But back to TSMC.  The other day, Samsung at a technology conference said that it will be the first in 2018 to release 7-nm chips using EUV-scanners.  The company also admitted that the risky production with the norms of 4 nm at its plants will start in 2020.  This is definitely a call for TSMC.  And the leadership of the Taiwan chip maker did not become silent. DigiTimes website with reference to one of the two directors of TSMC reports that the company will begin mass production of 7-nm solutions in 2018, and the improved 7-nm process technology will come into production one year later, and will also start using EUV lithography.  Unfortunately for TSMC, in this it can not get ahead of Samsung.  But the 7-th process technology TSMC will cover not only mobile applications, but also an area of supercomputers, automotive electronics and things connected to the Internet.  The company's current 10-nm process technology, to be specified, is intended exclusively for the release of mobile processors for wearable devices. At the moment the company has 12 digital projects of 7-nm solutions.  All these projects are solutions for mobile devices.  In the near future TSMC expects the completion of projects of 7-nm solutions for the supercomputer market.  Preparation of 7-nm chips for automotive electronics is expected later - after approval of the corresponding standard AEC-Q100 (Grade 0) in 2018. In 2019, the company will begin the risky production of mobile and HPC-processors (high-performance) using a 5-nm process technology.  For things with an Internet connection, the technological processes of 55, 40 and 28 nm ULP are offered.  In 2017, the company expects to record over 70 customers for IoT electronics.  Separately, TSMC expects growth in the smartphone market in 2017 by 6% - to 1.55 billion units.  The Chinese smartphone market will grow stronger - by 10% or up to 852 million devices in 2017.
