The aim is to alert users to an increased risk of fraud as soon as they receive a call and thus reduce [...]
AMD has taken a step that may seem unspectacular at first glance, but in practice can help determine the success or mediocrity of an entire CPU generation. The upcoming Zen 6 architecture has officially arrived in the GCC compiler. The initial “znver6” patch has been merged into the main branch of the GCC Git repository and will [...]
The GEEKOM GeekBook X14 Pro is a compact notebook in a 14-inch format that, according to the product presentation, is based on Intel Core Ultra processors with integrated Intel Arc graphics. The device combines a slim chassis with an OLED display, modern connectivity and AI-supported functions that are geared towards productive and mobile usage [...]
The global DRAM market has crossed a threshold where traditional market mechanisms are no longer sufficient. What previously looked like supply bottlenecks and long-term purchase agreements is now sliding into a much more unpleasant phase. Samsung is currently investigating its own employees for suspected bribery after evidence of bribes being [...]
With the free content update “Stories Untold”, GSC Game World is expanding S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl noticeably and not just cosmetically. If you were expecting a small quest snack for the holidays, you’re wrong. Depending on your play style, there are over five hours of new gameplay embedded in an independent but [...]
The Exynos 2600 is Samsung’s first SoC based on the 2 nm GAA manufacturing process and has so far only been officially announced without providing any technical details. A leak that has now been circulated provides concrete information on the CPU configuration, clock frequencies and a presumably new GPU architecture in collaboration with AMD [...]
Der mithilfe des James Webb Space Telescope untersuchte Himmelskörper PSR J2322-2650b gehört zu den ungewöhnlichsten bislang beobachteten Exoplaneten. Er umkreist keinen normalen Stern, sondern einen Pulsar, also einen schnell rotierenden Neutronenstern, der als Überrest einer Supernova entstanden ist. Bereits diese Konstellation widerspricht [...]
The celestial body PSR J2322-2650b, which was studied with the help of the James Webb Space Telescope, is one of the most unusual exoplanets observed to date. It does not orbit a normal star, but a pulsar, i.e. a rapidly rotating neutron star that was formed as the remnant of a supernova. This constellation alone contradicts classical ideas of [...]
