Just after Computex 2024, AMD CEO Lisa Su sat down with Stratechery to conduct an extended interview about solving hard problems throughout her career— including her time at IBM and contributing to the legacy of PlayStation from both there and AMD afterward. As she notes, "I've been working on PlayStation for a long time, if you think about it. PlayStation 3, 4, 5...[like the common thread] across

Bitlocker is one of the most easily accessible encryption solutions available today, being a built-in feature of Windows 10 Pro and Windows 11 Pro that's designed to secure your data from prying eyes. However, YouTuber stacksmashing demonstrated a colossal security flaw with Bitlocker that allowed him to bypass Windows Bitlocker in less than a minute with a cheap sub-$10 Raspberry Pi Pico, thus ga

A German railway firm posted a vacancy for a Windows 3.11 Administrator just before the weekend. In addition to skills in wrangling Windows for Workgroups on the 30-year-old operating system, the recruiter would look upon a candidate more fondly for possessing MS-DOS experience. The admin would purportedly oversee systems with 166MHz processors and a whopping 8MB of RAM. It might seem slightly wor

The newest official HHKB keyboard is pretty different from previous models. For one thing, it's no longer just a keyboard — it's an "all-in-one input device," according to the company. It still features the signature programmer-friendly HHKB layout, but it adds a pointing stick with mouse buttons and gesture control pads along the sides and bottom, so you never have to use a mouse or a trackpad or

Original Article, 9:16am PT : A new paper released by security researchers at the Technical University of Berlin reveals that AMD's firmware-based Trusted Platform Module (fTPM / TPM) can be fully compromised via a voltage fault injection attack, thus allowing full access to the cryptographic data held inside the fTPM in an attack called 'faulTPM.' Ultimately this allows an attacker to fully compr

(Image credit: Tenstorrent)We recently spoke with Wei-Han Lien, the chief CPU architect at Tenstorrent, about the company's vision and roadmap. Lien has an impressive background, with stints at NexGen, AMD, PA-Semi, Apple, and is perhaps best known for for his work on Apple's A6, A7 (world's first 64-bit Arm SoC), and M1 CPU microarchitectures and implementation.

The Roma is based on a computing platform known as Wujian 600 aimed at cost-effective edge computing. The CPU in the laptop is an Alibaba T-Head TH1520 quad-core Xuantie C910 processor that’s clocked at up to 2.5GHz with a 4 TOPS NPU and an Imagination Technologies GPU on the side. It can support up to 16GB LPDDR4 or 4X RAM at up to 4266 MT/s, and has 256GB of SSD storage.

The Raspberry Pi is a truly versatile piece of technology. With a Pi we can learn to code, build robots, work with complex sensor data and even turn an old printer into a web enabled device. If you have an older Raspberry Pi, gathering dust, then we have a quick and simple project to add extra Wi-Fi connectivity for no extra outlay. The latest Raspberry Pi OS release saw a beta of Network Manager,

Update 08/02/2022 12:30am PT: Intel reached out to clarify that it would bring the next-gen Crow Pass Optane memory DIMMs to market and will use its existing inventory to fulfill orders. This wasn't clear from Intel's previous statement because this is technically a future product. We have clarified that point in the below text. Original Article: Intel's Q2 2022 earnings report today was uncharact

(Image credit: Intel)In a sign that the United States government's export restrictions on semiconductor sales to Russia due to its war against Ukraine have been enacted swiftly, AMD and Intel have both confirmed they have suspended all chip sales to Russia and Belarus, confirming multiple prior reports. In addition, reports have also emerged that TSMC's decision to participate in the sanctions wil

You can get small, medium or large taskbar and icons. By default, Windows 11's taskbar is a decent size, but what if you want it a little bigger so you can see the icons better? Conversely, what if you want it a little smaller so you can fit more of your content on the screen at once? The good news is that, using a simple registry tweak,  you can set the taskbar in Windows 11 to one of three sizes

Apple is in the process of switching its PCs to Arm-based SoCs, but the company might not be putting all its eggs into one basket, as it is also exploring the emerging open-source RISC-V architecture. This week the company posted a job alert for RISC-V high-performance programmer(s). Apple is currently looking for experienced programmers with detailed knowledge of the RISC-V Instruction Set Archit

With the emergence of the Chia Coin cryptocurrency, miners in China are reportedly frantically snatching up every hard drive and SSD they can find. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, you don't mine Chia with a processor, graphics card or ASIC miner. Instead, you farm Chia with storage space, which is where hard drives or SSDs come in. Chia isn't officially available for trading yet, therefore, it's to

At the recent tinyML Summit 2021, Raspberry Pi co-founder Eben Upton teased the future of 'Pi Silicon' and it looks like machine learning could see a massive improvement thanks to Raspberry Pi's news in-house chip development team. It is safe to say that the Raspberry Pi Pico and its RP2040 SoC have been popular. The Pico has only been on the market for a few weeks, but already has sold 250,000 un

By default, Raspberry Pi boots up and stores all of its programs on a microSD memory card, which has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 50 MBps on the Raspberry Pi 4 and just 25 MBps on prior models. In real-life, even the best microSD cards for Raspberry Pi get no faster than about 38 MBps in sequential writes.  Using an external SSD as your main storage drive could speed things up significantly

A new paper released by the Graz University of Technology details two new "Take A Way" attacks, Collide+Probe and Load+Reload, that can leak secret data from AMD processors by manipulating the L1D cache predictor. The researchers claim that the vulnerability impacts all AMD processors from 2011 to 2019, meaning that the Zen microarchitecture is also impacted. (PDF) The university says it disclosed

With electric vehicles now on the market in masses and coming of age, we’re starting to see the real culprits of aging. For internal combustion engines, the types of components that age are quite well known, but we’ve always assumed that electric cars would have much longer lifespans due to the simplicity of their moving parts – or rather, the lack of moving parts. Now, according to a report on In

There are lots of great cooking competitions. There’s Chopped, Hell’s Kitchen, MasterChef Junior. But in the Tom’s Hardware labs test kitchen, we don’t pit chefs against each other. We pit processors against each other. So we took Intel and AMD’s HEDT processors to find out, which of the two company’s high-end chips makes a better pancake? The chips we used were the Intel Core i9-9980XE and the AM

Raspberry Pi 4 with NVMe SSD Attached If you attach an external SSD to your Raspberry Pi 4 B, you will get significantly faster app opens and file transfers. One of the most important improvements in the Pi 4 is its USB 3.0 interface. Where previous Raspberry Pi models were limited to a USB 2’s theoretical 480 Mbps / 60 MBps maximum speed when connecting to external storage, the new model has an i

The Raspberry Pi 4 single-board computer is, as our review demonstrates, something of a beast relative to its predecessors. But there’s a way to get even more performance out of it -- or any other model of Raspberry Pi, for that matter: boosting the CPU and GPU clock speeds through overclocking.

Raspberry Pi 4: Review, Buying Guide and How to Use Faster processor, more RAM and 4K video output

LAS VEGAS — Some x86 CPUs have hidden backdoors that let you seize root by sending a command to an undocumented RISC core that manages the main CPU, security researcher Christopher Domas told the Black Hat conference here Thursday (Aug. 9). The command — ".byte 0x0f, 0x3f" in Linux — "isn't supposed to exist, doesn't have a name, and gives you root right away," Domas said, adding that he calls it

The king is dead. Long live the king. According to our early test results, Intel's just-announced Optane SSD 905P SSD (960GB) is the fastest storage device by a wide margin. The $1,299, 960GB HHHL add-in card dominated other top-performers such as the Samsung 970 EVO (1TB) and Intel's own Optane 900P drive. For example, when we ran PCMark 8, the Optane 905P was 11 percent faster than its next clos

If you were intrigued by the Tex Yoda II’s TrackPoint-plus-mouse-keys layout that (more or less) obviates the need for a mouse and also caters to fans of the original IBM design, it’s time to crack open your wallet. The Yoda II is now available for pre-order; that window will close on July 15, but you should be able to buy one later, too. The prices change quite a bit depending on whether you go D
