Nvidia RTX 5090 rumors continue to suggest this graphics card will not just be powerful, but also somehow miraculously slim

Nvidia’s incoming RTX 5090 has set tongues wagging again on the topic of how slim the next-gen flagship might just be. VideoCardz noticed that Kopite7kimi, a regular on X (formerly Twitter) for GPU leaks, chipped in with another post that claims Nvidia’s version of the RTX 5090 (the Founders Edition) will be a two-slot graphics card. No, RTX 5090 FE has a 2-slot cooler. May 29, 2024 See more While you might think that’s not exactly slim as such, it definitely is for a flagship GPU. The RTX 4090 spans three or more slots, eating up huge amounts of space inside the case of the PC it’s installed in. The leaker further elaborates that the RTX 5090 will be a dual-fan card, so we’re looking at a two-slot cooler with two fans to keep the temperatures of the Blackwell flagship GPU in check. Analysis: Efficiency in spades For those who follow heavyweight GPUs, this rumor might be a difficult one to believe – and of course, we should exercise plenty of skepticism here (that’s t...

YouTube's terrible free games are now available to everyone, here's how to play them

Image
Over the past few months, a select group of people have been able to play games on YouTube , and now the feature has rolled out to everyone – but take it from me, they’re not worth your time. Called ‘Playables, ’ YouTube has rolled out 75 titles today per its blog post announcement , all of which can be played for free in the mobile app or on your desktop. Plus, when you quit out of them, if you ever decide to return your progress will have been saved so you can pick up where you left off. I’ve been trying some of the Playables for research (and definitely not as a way to avoid work) but found none were that fun. They’re mindless ways to burn through 10 minutes or so if you’re desperately bored, but if you’re on YouTube, there are literally millions of more entertaining ways to spend your time on the social media platform (like my recent obsession Jet lag: The Game , or watching The TechRadar Podcast ) Admittedly, Cut The Rope is a charming trip down memory lane with a classic smar...

Nvidia CEO net worth soars to new high — but Jensen Huang is still some way behind Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk

In terrific news for brand defenders everywhere, Jensen Huang, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of computer hardware manufacturer Nvidia, has seen his net worth spiral from $3 billion to $90 billion over the course of five years, putting him in the ranks of the world’s top-20 richest people. As reported by CNBC , the obscene amount of money that no one person should really ever have comes from Huang’s ownership of roughly 86.76 million Nvidia shares.  Sources are yet to confirm whether it's enough for Huang to buy even more versions of his trademark leather jacket. Nvidia CEO wealth rise The company was founded in 1993 to produce gaming graphics cards, and while these continue to be available at eye-watering and ever-increasing markups, it has moved its focus into other popular industries like artificial intelligence , recently announced an expansion of its AI factories collaboration with ‘ return to the office or so help me’ pushers Dell at Dell Technologies World 2024 .

Windows 11 cleans house as long-standing apps like WordPad and Cortana get the axe in new preview build

Image
Microsoft is gearing up to roll out a pretty substantial update for Windows 11 , 24H2 , with the update currently making its way through the final stages of testing. According to recent reports, it will see the end of several long-standing Microsoft products, including Cortana and WordPad , along with a few of Windows 11’s other old features.  There is a provisional list of Windows features that are in the process of being deprecated on the official Microsoft Learn blog , although not all of them have a confirmed date. However, Swedish tech news site Sweclocker has shared that the first 24H2 release candidate version is now available via the Windows Insider Program . The final version that will roll out to all Windows 11 users is expected to be released in September or October. We wrote about the announcements of WordPad’s and Cortana’s deprecation a while back, with Cortana giving way to Microsoft’s new all-purpose digital AI assistant, Copilot . Tips is another app that’s ...

Apple's WWDC 2024 invite reveals when to tune in for its big iOS 18 and AI reveals

Image
We’ve already had our calendars marked for June 10 through 14 for Apple’s 2024 WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference), but now we have official invites for the special event and a confirmed start time. Apple just sent out invites to the press confirming the WWDC 2024 special event will kick off at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST on June 10 (3am AEST, June 11). Unlike previous Apple event invites – including the May 7 “Let Loose” event – this WWDC invite lacks a tagline and has a simpler design. However, there is a return to classic Apple form as the event kicks off at the often-used 10am PT time. (Image credit: Apple) The invite features a glowing circle of blue, pink, purple, and yellowish-orange hues. Wondering why a circle? Well, it pretty much matches the overall shape of the main ring building at Apple Park, the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, CA. There is a thicker row, then a thinner one, and lastly, a thicker one with the center open, displaying the WWDC 24 logo. ...

Want to shove 30 GPUs in a computer system? Here's an AI solution that will work as long as you are using Dell — Liqid allows one R760 server to connect to a whopping 30 Nvidia GPUs for now with AMD and Intel likely soon

Composable infrastructure firm Liqid has created a cost-effective and scalable solution for organizations looking to deploy high-performance inference capabilities in their data centers.  Unveiled at Dell Technologies World 2024 , the UltraStack 30 crams a whopping thirty Nvidia L40S GPUs into a single Dell PowerEdge R760 server.  Liqid previously released a technical whitepaper for its UltraStack server at Nvidia GTC 2024 and at that time it had only managed to jam up to 20 Nvidia L40S into a PowerEdge server, so that's quite a leap in a short amount of time. AMD and Intel support coming Nvidia L40S GPUs have fewer cores and are generally less powerful than Nvidia’s H100 and A100 accelerators, as well as the newer Blackwell GB200 and B200 systems. However, they are well-suited for a variety of high-performance tasks, including AI, data analytics, and 3D rendering. This makes them a versatile choice for modern data centers and professional workloads, and they are cheaper...
