Allegedly, in 2017 NVIDIA is going to release a new generation of Volta graphics processors, designed in conformity with 12 nm technology-specific rules. According to these rumours, Volta will take Pascal’s place in supercomputing, artificial intelligence and machine learning systems. It is expected, that modern chips will be manufactured at TSMC factories.



Moreover, in addition to supercomputing solutions, the chip manufacturer plans to launch a series of video cards, based on Pascal Refresh graphics engines. One of the first samples may be GeForce GTX 2080 Ti with a GP102 chip, utilized in the current GeForce GTX Titan X flagship.


The present-day GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 successors will obtain the GDDR5X memory support and higher operating frequency providing increase in productivity. Simultaneously, the number of CUDAs won’t change.


The mid-graphics segment will be represented by upgraded GeForce GTX 2060 Ti, GTX 2060, as well as GTX 2050 models, which …

The German Watercool Co. has released a special water block version. The specialty, called Heatkiller IV PRO for Threadripper, is aimed at AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors and has larger dimensions and weight, than a basic model. At present this product is available in 4 versions.

 

The Pure Copper model’s base and cover are produced out of pure copper. The Copper Nickel sample is additionally nickelized, while Acryl Nickel Black and Acryl Nickel Red units obtained the copper nickel-plated base, transparent acrylic cover and a decoratory aluminium plate. On top of everything, they are supplied with an embedded LED-strip, compatible with the ASRock RGB LED, ASUS Aura Sync, Gigabyte Aorus Fusion and MSI Mystic Light illumination systems.

Buffalo Technology, a Japanese manufacturer of all innovatory storage devices and network solutions, showcases a new external hard drive, codenamed HD-GDU3, within the boundaries of DriveStation series. The new drive is housed in a black casing, featuring 45x126x202 mm dimensions. The model is known to have three capacity variations and, correspondingly, three different models: HD-GD1.0U3 (1TB), HD-GD2.0U3 (2TB) and HD-GD3.0U3 (3TB).



These external drives employ 3.5-inch hard drives as the basis and support an advanced high-speed USB 3.0 interface. Their layout involves 1GB of DRAM cache-memory which utilizes a dedicated caching software applet Turbo PC EX2, delivered along with the drives. This applet is called to immensely accelerate the data transfer process. The nominal delivery kit also includes a large software package with encoding and backup programs.


According to Buffalo developers, their HD-GDU3 is the fastest external hard drive ever seen. Thus, the maximal …
