    News Eco-friendly 3D-printed house uses soil, not cement — building still scores top earthquake resistance rating

    Resembles adobe construction, somewhat. Minus the tia's and vigas. I (for one) would like to know the roof's composition. Loks like pre-stressed concrete to me.

    News Threadripper 9000 CPUs will revive the HEDT market on July 31, starting at $1,499 for 24 cores — the flagship 64-core chip will set you back $4,999

    At some point in time (probably the point when hell freezes...) CPU's and motherboards will stop being two-tiered. There is really no real reason (logicly) for the lack of ECC or PCIe lanes on DT boards right now, except that there is more PROFIT MARGIN on the HEDT versions. Charge what the...

    News Exclusive: Unreleased Phison E28 SSD beats the fastest SSDs on the market in new benchmark

    SSD's, like most things tech, need to be tested like for like to have any validity. This test is flawed by using a 4TB Samsung against 2TB for everyone else. Dr.Pabst must be laughing his ass off.

    News Trump purge hits Chips Act office, two-fifths of staff to be terminated: Report

    Anyone that wasn't 'woke' before better wake up now. If you are a REAL Red Bloded American,you will find that Trump's plan to reinvigorate serfdom under Musk's DOGE platform ( a small part of Project 2025) sits rather nicely with those other billionaires on Trumps 'Welcome' List. Did you get...

    News Nvidia teases RTX 50 Blackwell Gaming GPUs for launch next month — The Witcher IV's first cinematic trailer likely leveraged the upcoming RTX 5090

    "unannounced Nvidia GeForce RTX GPU", and it doesn't take much to infer that this alludes to the upcoming RTX 5090." Speculation can be fun, but it is still speculation. CDPR is not in the habit of shooting themselves in the foot, and creating a game with requirements for a top tier...

    Review HyperX Alloy Rise Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review: Magnetic Customization… at a Price

    I game, but do not think I am a 'gamer'. My current keyboard is a Steelseries Apex Pro, which I very much like for its switches and their adjustability. How I would love for this keyboard to go with swappable keys.... As to the 'wireless' debate... I really, really dislike batteries.

    News Entry-level GPU RAID card enables mind-bending storage speeds — 80 GB/s of throughput from eight SSDs with SupremeRAID SR-1001

    Quote unquote Gamer Motherboards and CPUs only give the user one x16 slot for the GPU and one x4 NVME slot, and that is possibly shared.... You pay twice for the 'gamer' label. There is no real reason that the 'gamer' can't have more PCIe from the CPU, but if 'Gamers' are willing to pay the...

    News China's chipmaking tool purchases increase 1,050% in November: Report

    Percentages are an accountant''s way of shaping the truth. What % is it going from 0$ to 1$? A whole lot more than a measly ten times.... (1000%)

    News Intel Demoes 8-Core, 528-Thread PUMA Chip with 1 TB/s Silicon Photonics

    @Paul Acorn - "The eight cores, which consume 1.2 billion transistors," Maybe 'utilize' instead of 'consume'. Or'comprise'.... Consume is just plain wrong.

    News Details on Nvidia’s Next-Gen Blackwell GPUs Appear to Have Leaked

    Either really, really crap editing, or new terms that I don't understand. Or, AI made article?? What is "re-spinned"... Actually, whole thing seems a bit 'off'.
