As an early AMD partner, Lexar Enterprise’s enterprise-grade BG Series DDR5 RDIMMs were the first to successfully pass AMD’s rigorous compatibility testing with the new Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9000WX series, report our colleagues at TechPowerUP Amber Alert for overlock enthusiasts: These modules are officially allowed to serve the top [...]
While the first Turin processors with Zen 5 cores are still finding their way into server rooms, reliable details about the next EPYC generation “Venice” are already emerging – and they are quite something. AMD does not seem to be satisfied with a mere evolution: Zen 6 and Zen 6C are waiting in the wings, bringing massive [...]
While NVIDIA and Intel are stalking each other with their Grace and Xeon processors, AMD is launching a clear attack with the fifth generation of EPYC CPUs. The new server processors should not only outperform the competition in terms of performance, but also offer significant advantages in terms of efficiency. Up to 2.75 times the energy [...]
A few months ago, we already presented and tested its big brother, the F4-424 NAS. But since not everyone has enough data to fill four hard disks, there is of course also a 2-bay version. As the two models hardly differ technically, we also take a look at the new TOS6 beta. Click here for the test reports of the 4-bay version and its predecessor [...]
It has now been almost 3 months since we took a look at the NAS products of an unexpected new competitor on the market. So it’s a good time to take another look at UGOS and hopefully present the improvements that have appeared in the meantime. And since the 6-bay version is now also available, we’ll start with this one. If you are more [...]
NVIDIA is facing new challenges as the production of its anticipated Blackwell GPUs may be stalled. These delays could have a significant impact on the artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing market, especially considering NVIDIA’s role in these areas. The Blackwell GPUs were originally scheduled for release in 2024. This [...]
After we tested the DXP4800 Plus from Ugreen in detail a few days ago, the smaller 2-bay version should of course not be missing. For most users it doesn’t have to be a maximum of 96TB in RAID5, a simple and above all cheaper backup solution is sufficient. And this is exactly what Ugreen wants to offer with the DXP2800, so let’s take a [...]
I don’t think I was the only one who was a little surprised when Ugreen announced that it would now be offering network storage in addition to power banks, chargers and other small electronics – these markets don’t have much in common, but the advertised specifications are exciting. Ideliberately took my time with a review and [...]
In a significant step towards improving the performance and security of next-gen server platforms, Intel and JEDEC have unveiled the capabilities of DDR5-8800 memory. This breakthrough technology promises to significantly increase data processing speed and efficiency, especially for AI and machine learning (ML) workloads. JEDEC, the standards [...]
Packaging and scope of delivery In case you forget who made the NAS between buying it and receiving it, the name is printed again on each side of the box. Very helpful! The contents are protected by foam blocks cut to size, and there is also a box with the accessories on the side. In it we find a 90 watt EA10952F-120 power supply unit, screws for [...]
You will no doubt have noticed that there have been an increasing number of attacks on the integrity of our forum and website in recent days. But what you can see publicly is unfortunately only the tiny tip of a big fat iceberg that is not only being pushed by the usual spammers but also by the cold warriors of redirected links. The forum in [...]
NVIDIA introduces its new superchips, which offer a combination of Grace CPU and Hopper GPU chips. These chips enable the entire AI and data center ecosystem to reap the benefits. The team at NVIDIA aims to provide customers with a comprehensive package that allows them to focus on different types of workloads in the industry. This is achieved by [...]
Synology’s DS923 has already been on the market for a year, whereas they already took their time with the DS920. By the way, long product cycles are more of an advantage than a disadvantage in my opinion, because the product and software mature without blind haste. With an AMD Ryzen R1600 as the main processor, four drive bays, two M.2 slots [...]
Today’s news deals with the first day of Intel’s Innovation 2023 and uses Intel’s official press material for this (due to a lack of personal presence). Of course, the following content is written from Intel’s point of view and should be classified accordingly. Nevertheless, it is of course interesting to read how and where [...]
AMD is now officially finalizing the 4th generation of the EPYC family with the AMD EPYC 8004 processors designed specifically for cloud services. The new processors deliver exceptional power efficiency and strong performance in an optimized, single-socket package, supported by Dell Technologies, Ericsson, Lenovo, Supermicro and others, and [...]
Increasing demand for computing power and growing energy efficiency requirements have greatly influenced the development of data center technologies in recent years. AMD and 451 Research, a leading technology analysis and market research firm, have played a critical role in shaping and analyzing these developments. Of interest here are advances [...]
Is Wi-Fi 6 now the panacea for poor WLAN reception? No, but it can certainly actively support the therapy. You can’t reinvent physics, but you can harness it. It’s been almost 3 years since I set up a Wi-Fi 5 network over two floors here in the lab and also published a longer article about it. If you’re lucky enough to have a [...]
Intel’s new Xeons, i.e. the scalable server processors of the 4th generation, are delayed again. Once again, one might say, and the reasons are very diverse. The problems and errors are collected under NDA in internal documents (“so called NDA sights”) and currently amount to almost 500 (!) entries, with the trend continuing to [...]
Distributed network attacks are often performed as distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, which almost always use bot networks, i.e. "zombie PCs" of careless users taken over by malware. This makes a lot of things more difficult, as it is often no longer possible to make a geographical assignment that could have temporarily [...]
