NVIDIA today introduced the Quadro RTX 4000 graphics card — the company’s first midrange professional GPU powered by the NVIDIA Turing architecture and the NVIDIA RTX platform.

G.SKILL are proud to announce DDR4-4266 64GB (8x8GB) and DDR4-4000 128GB (8x16GB) memory kits for the latest Intel® Core™ X-series processors and X299 motherboards. Both kits are the highest speed available at such capacity and will be available in 2019 Q1. 

Intel just unleashed its Core i9 9980XE processor, an 18-core CPU that can be seated onto socket 2066 and yes, it can be used on existing X299 motherboards. The processor gets a suggested retail price of 1979 US dollars.

Corsair today announced compatibility with the Microsoft Xbox One for CORSAIR wired and wireless keyboards and mice, following Microsoft's recent announcement of expanded peripheral support for the console.

AMD's worst kept secret bow also has shifted towards ASRock, photos of the Phantom Gaming have now surfaced. The respin GPU would be the 3rd iteration of Polaris, now noted as Polaris 30.

Gigabyte today announced the highest level of AORUS WATERFORCE GeForce RTX 20 series XTREME graphics cards powered by NVIDIA Turing architecture. And yes, we've shown you these cards here a while ago already.

Intel announced the XMM 8160 5G modem, a multimode modem optimized to provide 5G connectivity to devices like phones, PCs and broadband access gateways. The XMM 8160 5G will support peak speeds up to 6 gigabits per second.

ZADAC now offers an M.2 RGB heat spreader. It is an M.2 heatsink that cools NVMe SSD, embedded with addressable RGB built in. By itself, not big news, but admittedly I do like the looks of this one.

An interview conducted by 4Gamer shows some interesting information, AMD’s Senior Vice President of Engineering for Radeon Technologies Group, David Wang, revealed that the red team will not implement DirectX ray tracing until all of its GPUs are capable of supporting it.

Up to late August Steam has had a bug where it was possible for anyone to grab activation keys for any game on Steam. Fortunately for Valve, a security researcher decided to give Valve a heads-up and report the issue. 

Micron Technology, Inc., today announced that its GDDR6 memory, Micron's fastest and most powerful graphics memory, will be the high-performance memory of choice supporting Achronix's next-generation stand-alone FPGA products built on TSMC 7nm process technology. 

Western Digital announced it is extending the breadth and depth of its data center portfolio into the rapidly evolving in-memory computing market segment.

During last weeks presentation, there was a bit of confusion about the actual IPS performance increase for the 7nm Zen 2 architecture. Was the generational improvement including clock frequency the result of a ~25% perf increase or was that IPC. Well, as it turns out right now it's actually 29% IPC.

It is not exactly a secret that AMD will be launching a 12nm fabbed Polaris series of graphics cards. The Sapphire Radeon RX 590 8GB Nitro+ got exposes, and now all specs have surfaced as well.

Just before the weekend, the XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy surfaced onto the web. The XFX card looks rather similar to the RX 580 GTS as it has the very same cooler.
