POSTER: computer news   ||    ASUS BOARDS AND INTEL OPTANE SUPPORT BIOS UPDATES	DATE:2017-04-01
Asustek Computer this week decided to reiterate that its motherboards are ready for Intel Optane, and distributed a list of compatible products mentioning the corresponding BIOS versions. We will add that all updates on the Asus website are really available, and they are dated on March 24, and support for Intel Optane is mentioned in the history of changes by direct text. In the case of MSI products, users are only given a benchmark, which version of BIOS they need to wait for.

POSTER: computer news   ||    THE JAPANESE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY AMD RYZEN PROCESSORS	DATE:2017-04-01
Summaries on the appearance of new products in Japanese retail, provided by colleagues from the site AKIBA PC Hotline , decorated the Saturday news with photos of AMD Ryzen 7 processors, which are delivered to the market without branded boxes.   To be more precise, a box for transporting processors is provided, but it is one for everyone, and does not spoil the eye of a fan of AMD products with design refinements. The irony is that Japanese processors only offer these processors in combination with the motherboard and the proprietary cooler Wraith Max RGB with the corresponding backlight. You can control the backlight by connecting the appropriate cable to the internal USB connector on the motherboard. As explained by Japanese colleagues, the purchase of such a set still justifies itself, because it is cheaper than buying everything separately.  Moreover, the same cooler in local stores is not sold separately, or it is very rare. The buyer of the kit receives a gift and a branded sticker with the Ryzen 7 logo, which can be placed on the system unit.   Select Rating : Currently 10.00/10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 48193 Rating: 10.0/10 (14 votes cast) The Japanese got the opportunity to buy AMD Ryzen processors	Add Comment ( 1 ) THE JAPANESE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY AMD RYZEN PROCESSORS

POSTER: computer news   ||   AMD VEGA A PORTION OF LEAKS IN ANTICIPATION OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT	DATE:2017-04-01
Prior to the likely announcement of new graphics solutions, AMD, codenamed Vega (Radeon RX), remains just over two weeks.  The long-awaited event should occur on April 18 or so.  We are confident that the waiting time for this event will be rich in leaks.   Of course, all of us are interested in the performance level of Vega graphics architecture .  Without binding to a specific version of the adapter (memory, frequency, one or two GPUs), the level of performance of Radeon RX stated in the slide in games with 4K resolution twice exceeds the capabilities of NVIDIA graphics cards.  Given the relatively limited AMD budget for development, this advantage looks amazing, if not fantastic. One of the advantages of Vega promises to be the use of a new caching technology using the buffer from the memory of HBM2.  Installing 4 GB of HBM2, according to AMD, gives a greater effect than using 11 GB of GDDR5X. The next slide reveals the capabilities of the new computing unit of the graphic architecture - the Next Generation Compute Unit (NGU).  Obviously, this is not an audit of the GCN architecture.  The new architecture promises a 2-fold increase in productivity per cycle and a 4-fold increase in performance per watt.  Energy efficiency has increased disproportionately and with the advance of productivity growth.  This also seems incredible . The next slide suggests that in addition to the architectural capabilities of the Vega architecture, AMD will present software developments that will improve the image and provide other bonuses, in particular, accelerate physics in games similar to NVIDIA PhysX technology (AMD Gravity technology).  These opportunities will be promoted in the form of extensions of the package Gaming Evolved, which will also include the possibility of expanding the color gamut (AMD Spectrum) and technology Ambient Occlusion. Finally, the slide shows the appearance of the Vega video card, the maximum memory capacity of HBM2 (up to 16 GB with a bus of 2048 bits) and the base clock at 1600 MHz.  Another slide reveals a model range of new AMD video cards with a description of the main characteristics - the amount of memory, base frequencies and number of execution units.

POSTER: computer news   ||   INTEL IS PREPARING THE OPTANE 900P SERIES	DATE:2017-04-01
The first servers for SSD serial production of Intel on 3D XPoint memory were server drives of the SSD Optane DC P4800X series with a capacity of 375 GB and consumer cache-accelerators with a capacity of 16 and 32 GB in the form factor M.2.  True 3D XPoint memory for client systems is expected to be a series of Intel Optane 900P models, as reported by the Chinese site BenchLife.info.  The Optane 900P series expects models with a capacity of 280, 480, 960 and 1500 GB. According to the characteristics Optane 900P model similar to the model Optane DC P4800X.  Only the model line is different, and the server models will come out as 375-, 750- and 1500-GB models, and the Optane 900P series will have slightly more stable data transfer speed in read mode: 2500 MB / s instead of 2,400 MB / s Models of the Optane DC P4800X series.  The remaining characteristics are identical, including consumption level (18 W) and IOPS values: 550 thousand and 500 thousand for reading / writing random blocks.  The steady speed of recording, we add, reaches 2000 MB / s. There is no clear information on the timeframe for new products to enter the market.  Considering some memory shortage in 3D XPoint, the launch of the Optane 900P series may be postponed to a later date.  Also promises to be a very high price of drives, which stand out at their record speeds in terms of reducing delays in reading and writing, as well as in terms of increasing resistance to wear.  Finally, Optane drives work only with the latest generation of Core i7 processors and with the Intel 200 series logic chipset, which also imposes restrictions on the circle of users interested in the novelty.
