RealTek unveiled a new range of RTL8126 5Gbps Ethernet PCIe and M.2 adapters back at Computex 2023 (yes, the year before last), promising extremely fast wired internet connections.  Those adapters are finally now going on sale – and at pretty reasonable prices, too. The first module, available on Amazon for $27, is the 5,000Mbps Networking Card B+M Key to PCIe adapters, which works with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11.  The adapter is ideal for those who are building their own PC and want to make use of the best PC parts to do so. While an Ethernet connection might not be the sexiest part of all, it's definitely important to get the most out of the setup. Build your PC with freedom  (Image credit: Future) An Ethernet adapter is just one component that you will need to build a top-of-the-line PC for gaming, pleasure, or business.  Unfortunately, there is currently only limited information about the adapters online right now, and some...

Western Digital (WD) is one of the top makers of SSDs right now, and its range is now expanding with the introduction of the WD Blue SN5000, available in 500GB, 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB options – at a very reasonable price.  Anyone who has undertaken the task of building a PC will be familiar with WD and the sheer range of SSDs it offers is a little dizzying.  The new WD Blue SN5000 range offers twice as much storage on offer here over the previous-generation SSDs, and the starting price of $79.99 on the Western Digital website for the 500GB model, currently reduced by $10, is very tempting.  WD Blue SN5000 In comparison to the previous SN850X NVMe and SN700 NVMe SSDs (which comes in a striking red), the SN5000 is cheaper but lacks some of the more high-end features of those two, like an optional heatsink.   As you might expect, WD is hyping up the AI applications of the SN5000 SSDs, thanks to NVMe, PCIe Gen 4, and Western Digital's nCache 4.0 tech making things re...

Security researchers recently claimed to have found a flaw that could allow threat actors to spoof Microsoft corporate emails. A cybersecurity researcher with the alias Slonser (full name Vsevolod Kokorin, according to TechCrunch ) recently posted on X with a telling screenshot that appeared to show an email seemingly coming from the security@microsoft.com email address.  In the post, Slonser said that after tipping off Microsoft about the vulnerability, the company came back saying it couldn’t reproduce it. In other words - it didn’t find it relevant. The researcher then shared “a video with the exploitation, a full PoC” to which Microsoft, yet again, responded by saying it was unable to reproduce the flaw. Large attack surface “At this point, I decided to stop the communication with Microsoft,” Slonser said, and just posted his findings on the internet. His post “blew up”, raking in more than 118,000 views at press time. The researcher later suggested to TechCrunch that ...

Nvidia has seen another market surge to become the world’s most valuable company, surpassing many of its key rivals once again. The company, which has become synonymous with building components designed to power the data centers behind the AI push, now has a market cap of $3.335 trillion, putting it just a touch ahead of Microsoft, current second-place holder, and Apple, which resides in third place. Nvidia’s latest success of taking prime position comes in the same month that the company became the third in the world to hit a market cap of $3 trillion. Nvidia takes top spot Since hitting the $3 trillion mark almost a year ago, Apple’s growth has stagnated somewhat, with the company interchangeably occupying first and second place with Microsoft, each representing a market cap around $1 trillion more than Google, which was typically a third-place holder. Recent months have seen share prices in Nvidia skyrocket – since the start of the calendar year, they’re up 181%. Nvidia sh...

Market intelligence firm Liftr Insights spotted a new Amazon Web Services cloud provider instance with a mammoth 896-core count, putting it far above rival offerings from Azure and Tencent. What’s important to note, and as spotted by a Tom’s Hardware reader , these cores are likely derived from 8-CPU, 56-core Intel Sapphire Rapids configurations, effectively utilizing hyperthreading to achieve 2 vCPUs per physical core. The use of vCPUs allows cloud providers like AWS to offer scalable, flexible, and powerful computing resources to handle applications that require significant computational power, such as intensive database operations or data analytics, but the new instance still only offers 448 physical cores, which is the same as AWS has offered since May 2021. Showing demand The cost for renting this server is more affordable than might be expected, with Liftr suggesting prices will range from around $150 to over $400 per hour, averaging at $263.10. These instances are especia...

We’re big fans of Framework at TechRadar Pro . The company’s modular laptops make it easy to get the computer you want, at a sensible price, and upgrade the various parts as needed. Running out of space? Just chuck in a bigger drive. Battery no longer holding a charge? Replace it. The company recently unveiled a new version of its Framework Laptop 13 with Intel Core Ultra processors, 9.2-megapixel webcam, and support for 96GB of DDR5 RAM, and will start shipping that in August. Framework has found itself battling unprecedented demand for its larger Laptop 16 recently, but has announced the device is back in stock and “shipping from inventory”. That’s not the only announcement the company had to make though. It’s released open source 3D CAD files of the laptop, so users can start their own community projects, and even potentially 3D print a full laptop. CAD files available now “With open source documentation around the module systems in Framework Laptop 16, we’re seeing some incr...
