TechSpot

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. WTF?! A tech repair channel recently got its hands on what appeared to be an unboxed but brand new Asus TUF GeForce RTX 4090 with that fresh protective film on and everything. However, upon cracking it open, they discovered something that left them floored – the GPU was actually an RTX 3080 Ti disguised in incredible detail.

“I’ll never buy an Intel CPU at launch again.”. That’s what one Reddit user told me after I spoke with them about instability issues with their Core i9-13900K. The user said they went through four Core i9-13900Ks over several months, leaving them without a functioning gaming PC for three months due to repairs. Another told me they slowly replaced every component in their system expect for the CPU, saying they’ve “NEVER had an issue with Intel products.” This time, though, the Core i9-14900K was the problem.

Intel can’t stay silent for much longer

Micron has confirmed starting its new multiplexed rank dual inline memory module (MRDIMM). The new memory is designed for scenarios requiring more than 128GB of memory per DIMM slot and works by combining several layers of memory modules, running at standard DDR5 speeds, with a data buffer that speeds up the connection to the host computer, allowing for faster data transfers. MRDIMMs improve upon traditional TSV RDIMMs by offering increased bandwidth, greater capacity, reduced latency, and enhanced performance per watt.Designed for use in virtualized environments, HPC, and AI data center operations, the MRDIMMs are the first generation in Micron's new memory...

Midrange phones are more competitive than ever, and their performance and battery life make us wonder why we spend $1,000+ on flagship devices. Phones under $500 used to include drab displays, awful build quality, and hardly any software support. But recently, even budget devices have featured OLED displays and years of software support. With so many high-quality options close in price, even a small discount can make a big difference.
