Used processor leads to game ban (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Anyone buying used hardware for a gaming PC needs to be careful: not just whether the components are still in order but also what the previous owner did with them. A case on Reddit shows this. Someone installed a used AMD processor, a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, in their PC. Because the previous owner was caught cheating, the new owner cannot start several online games. The problem was noticed in the first-person shooter “Valorant” from the development studio Riot. Right from the first start, the new owner
ARM C2 Core Generation: Lumex is history again (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New year, new processor building kit from ARM: The company has unveiled its new fastest CPU standard core, the C2-Ultra, which partners like Mediatek and Samsung can integrate into their mobile processors. ARM promises 15 percent more performance but reaches into the bag of tricks: this value only applies together with increasing clock frequencies. There are greater innovations in the Mali G2-Ultra NX graphics unit. The name Lumex is already history again. ARM introduced it in 2025 as the succes
AMD packs its Instinct MI350P with water cooling into a workstation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AMD has given a first glimpse of a workstation in a big tower case: The Threadripper Halo Station comes with a powerful processor and up to four AI accelerators. The hardware did not appear particularly well-designed during the presentation at the IFA trade fair in Berlin, but it did reveal innovations. The focus is on the Instinct accelerators of type MI350P. AMD recently introduced them as PCI Express versions, but at that time with passive coolers for PCIe servers with fast-spinning fans. The
Midea introduces new PortaSplit with propane (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The mobile split air conditioner PortaSplit is getting a relaunch. For those interested within the EU, the most important innovation: Midea is replacing the previously climate-damaging gas R32 with R290 (propane). The change is necessary due to the EU F-Gas Regulation so that Midea can continue to introduce the PortaSplit to Europe in 2027. R32 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675. This means that one kilogram of the refrigerant will have as much climate warming potential in the atmospher
Nvidia DLSS 5: Modders enable AI faces in all sorts of games (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The developers of the basketball game NBA 2K27 have kicked off a wave of pre-release tests for Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling 5 (DLSS 5). The starting point is the library file nvngx_dlssnr.dll, which was discovered in the early access version of NBA 2K27. ”nr” presumably stands for Neural Rendering and represents the core function of DLSS 5: the enhancement of game characters using artificial intelligence. The dll file is 158 MB in size. Techpowerup has already taken a look at it and con
