One year ago discussions were going about Intel’s coffee lake chips and now they are back with the ninth generation core Intel chips also called the coffee lake refresh. The first coffee lake brought us Intel’s first six-core mainstream processors and now the Refresh is launching with the i9 9900 K, an 8 core processor that can boost up to Continue reading
Remember when cellphones had keypad like a 1 2 3 maybe… You could call, text, maybe play snake on it … and it had about 6 megabytes of memory, which was a small miracle at the time. Then, phones got faster and around every two years, you probably upgraded your phone from 8 gigs to 16 to 32 and so on. This incremental technological progress we’ve all been participating in for years clings on to one key trend, called Continue reading
When you think of memory in your computer, you might think of things like DVR modules, V’RAM on your graphics card or most likely just hard drives and SSDs, but there’s actually another type of memory that’s incredibly fast and essential, Continue reading
Sending satellites to space used to take a computer, the size of a washing machine. Now that same computational power can be packed into something as small as an iPad, but as we aim for smaller devices we have reached our threshold.Our current materials and techniques may not allow us to continue to progress at this pace and because of this we’re being pushed in new and exciting directions like Continue reading
A whole new computer for just Rs 3500 really… Well, kind of, I’m not quite talking about a desktop or a laptop with all the bells and whistles I’m talking about the little single board computer – the ‘Raspberry Pi’. A tiny credit card sized device with so many uses that it’s possibly the biggest DIY material for tech’ies. Continue reading
Since 1970s there’s been a never-ending demand for higher quality smoother graphics in video games but the very earliest GPUs in game consoles weren’t really GPUs at all. Instead of being general-purpose microprocessors that we see in modern graphics cards, earlier video controllers were more or less hard-coded, to only output specific Continue reading
