Last Tuesday, AMD's stock price jumped up by about 8% into the $29 range; AMD's stock has dropped about a dollar since but remains solid in the $28 range. AMD hasn't been able to break back into this bracket since the tech stock downturn that occurred late last year. Before that though, the last time AMD was ever worth $29 was in the mid 2000s. This recent spike in price is primarily thanks to reports that TSMC, which provides the 7nm node for AMD's upcoming Zen 2 processors, is seeing high amounts of orders from AMD. AMD has promised Zen 2 will deliver a high performance and power efficiency boost thanks to the 7nm process, as well as architectural improvements that will also improve performance and power efficiency. Zen 2 will also be coming in chiplet form, meaning AMD has a great advantage in core count and core density. AMD's upcoming Rome server CPU will have a world-record-breaking 64 cores thanks to the usage of 8 CPU dies and 1 IO die. Additionally, AMD's upcoming Ryzen 3000 CPUs for gamers and mainstream content creators are poised to finally wrest the performance crown from Intel thanks to the up to 25% higher clock speeds that the 7nm node should allow for. Investors are taking note of AMD's technological advantages over Intel and believe AMD has great potential to take market share across the board. Meanwhile, Intel's inability to address its CPU shortage have lead Wells Fargo to downgrade Intel stock, which also raised in price on Tuesday by about 3% thanks to its Data-Centric Innovation Day, though Wells Fargo's downgrade on Friday has almost eroded that slight increase. Wells Fargo cites AMD's upcoming Zen 2 processors as a cause for concern; Zen 2 is expected to decrease demand of Intel's current products. One analyst was primarily concerned that AMD would be able to snatch away server market share thanks to Rome. The server market has proven to be a vulnerable one for Intel, as AMD has jumped from owning almost no share to just 3.2% within the last year.

Intel released the finer details of its Gen11 graphics architecture at the recent Game Developers Conference (GDC) and simultaneously posted a whitepaper outlining the new architecture to its site, all with little fanfare. We took an in-depth look at the information in the architecture whitepaper, but now the GDC Vault has posted the full video and slides from Intel's presentation, which reveals many more details of the new architecture. Intel's new Gen11 graphics engine, which will make an appearance in nearly every mainstream Intel processor, purportedly delivers a dramatic performance improvement over the current Gen 9.5 graphics engine, with the goal of cramming one teraflop of 32-bit and two teraflops of 16-bit floating point performance into a low power envelope. Early indications are that the new Gen11 graphics provide a substantial boost to real-world performance. We've included the slides in the album above, but you can access all of the slide decks from Intel's GDC presentations here. The GDC Vault also has the full video of the presentation. Viewing videos on the GDC Vault usually requires an account that runs $550 per year, but luckily, you can view this video presentation for free. The presentation provides a nice deep dive on the new architecture and how it differs from the current generation. If you're interested in deep dive details, this video delivers. Intel's new Gen11 graphics engine serves as an intermediate generation before the company's Xe graphics architecture debuts, which includes both integrated and discrete graphics cards for gaming. You can see the bigger picture in our Intel Xe Graphics Card: Rumors, News, and Release Date article.

Asus has been busy as of late on the curved monitor front, announcing its huge 49-inch Strix XG49VQ curved monitor a couple of weeks back (among at least one professional model as well). Fast forward to today, Asus has unveiled the flagship of the ROG Swift monitor lineup, the Swift PG349Q. The new model is a curved, 34-inch ultra-wide QHD (3440x1440), G-Sync monitor with an overclockable 120 Hz refresh rate and 1900R [CENSORED]ture. Externally, the PG349Q looks similar to the previous ROG PG348Q model with relatively thin bezels and a tripod-like stand that includes built-in ROG light effects (aka a red LED in the middle of the stand projecting below). The stand of the new monitor can tilt 20 degrees forward and about 5 degrees backward and swivel 50 degrees in either direction, with height adjustment up to 100 mm. Unlike its predecessor, the PG349Q has a large illuminated ROG logo for additional ambient light on the back of the panel. The panel uses a 1900R [CENSORED]ture, which compared to 1800R is a bit less of a curve/angle but should still provide an immersive experience. As far as inputs go, the Asus panel has the typical fare of two USB 3.0 ports fed from a USB 3.0 downstream port. The lone audio input is a 3.5 mm earphone mini-jack. Video inputs include HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2, which is standard for most modern monitors. The monitor also has two integrated stereo speakers rated at 2W each. Internally, the Swift PH349Q sports an IPS panel capable of producing 100 percent of the sRGB color gamut. The panel does not support HDR and has a brightness of 300 cd/m² with a contrast ratio of 1,000:1. Viewing angles are nice and wide at 178 degrees, which is normal for an IPS panel. It has a 4ms response time (gray to gray) for preventing ghosting. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/asus-rog-swift-pg349q-gaming-monitor-specs,38970.html

The full electric Volvo XC40 will be unveiled later in 2019, the company has revealed. It's a significant moment for the Swedish brand, as it ramps up its drive to electrify its whole range. The battery-powered XC40 will be the first all-electric production Volvo and is due in showrooms in 2020; hitherto, the focus has been on its new spin-off Polestar brand, which will comprise only plug-in and full electric models such as the Polestar 2 unveiled at the Geneva motor show. Volvo is planning half its sales to be full EVs by 2025. Volvo XC40: our introduction to the smaller Swedish SUV The XC40 range was officially unveiled in Milan in late 2017, marking the company’s first proper go at the baby SUV market. The new car kicked off modern-era Volvo’s third and, for now, final model line, the 40-series. It’s built around a new compact car platform Volvo calls CMA (Compact Modular Architecture), which will be shared with the Swedish car maker’s Chinese parent company, Geely. This is the right car at the right time for Volvo. Speaking at the car’s unveil, company president Håkan Samuelsson says the XC40 is ‘intended for a very important segment – probably the world’s fastest-growing segment: small, premium SUVs. So we have the right product for the future.’ Production started at Volvo’s Ghent factory in Belgium in November 2017. First deliveries in the UK began early in 2018.

China says it will crack down on all types of the synthetic opioid fentanyl, following a plea from the US. All fentanyl-related substances will be added to China's list of controlled narcotic drugs from 1 May, officials said. It follows a pledge Beijing made during US-China trade talks in December. The powerful painkiller, much of it believed to be made in China, is said to be driving a huge rise in drug addiction in the US. The number of deaths from painkillers such as fentanyl led to President Donald Trump declaring a national emergency in 2017. China's production of the drug has long been a source of tension between the two countries. "The US is concerned about all variants [of fentanyl] and it has all been resolved," Liu Yuejin, deputy director of China's narcotics control commission, told a news conference. Mr Liu said the claim that China was the main source of fentanyl "lacked evidence", and instead blamed a history of abuse of prescription medicine in the US for fuelling demand. "We believe that the United States itself is the main factor in the abuse of fentanyl there," he said. "Some people link drug consumption with freedom, individuality, and liberation. If the US really wants to resolve the fentanyl substance problem they have more work to do domestically." If you wanna read more about this please visit this link : click !

Nvidia director of technical marketing Tom Petersen has left the graphics company, and according to a report from Hot Hardware, he’s making his way over to Intel. The report said that Petersen announced his departure from Nvidia on Friday, telling Hot Hardware editor-in-chief Dave Altavilla that “we will see each other again.” Petersen spent nearly 15 years at the graphics company after working at IBM, Motorola, and Broadcom. Now the outlet believes Petersen is the latest person Intel has hired away from its competitors to work on its discrete graphics project. More information about Intel’s graphics project has trickled out over the last few months. The company has been teasing its plans to journalists, releasing Linux drivers, and inviting people to inform its discrete GPU efforts via a program called The Odyssey. Intel’s going to need people to market its discrete GPUs, of course, and it’s been hiring proven talent away from AMD. The company brought on AMD’s former senior director of global product marketing, Chris Hook, in April. Now the Hot Hardware report has said that Petersen was recruited “to be an Intel Fellow working with the Game Experience Team.” A little bit of the red team, a little bit of the green team, and you end up with the…blue team? This report is unconfirmed, but it fits with Intel’s modus operandi so far, and we suspect it would take quite the offer to lure Petersen away from a company he’s been with since 2005. We’ll keep an eye out for more information about where Petersen will end up and update this as needed.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians have demonstrated in Gaza to mark the anniversary of the start of weekly protests on the boundary with Israel. Demonstrators threw stones and burned tyres, with Israeli troops using tear-gas and live rounds in response. Two protesters died in the clashes, Palestinian officials say, with a third killed overnight. The protests back the declared right of Palestinian refugees to return to ancestral homes in what is now Israel. At least 189 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier were killed between March and December 2018, the UN says. A UN inquiry says Israeli soldiers may have committed war crimes during the protest marches - a charge Israel rejects. This day of protests is a serious test of the fragile calm between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist group that runs the Palestinian-controlled Gaza Strip, says the BBC's Yolande Knell in Jerusalem. What has happened so far? The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) estimated the number of protesters at about 40,000 and several thousand Israeli troops were deployed along the border. The IDF said explosive devices had been thrown over the border fence and Israeli forces had responded with "riot dispersal means" and live bullets. At least two Palestinian protesters, both 17-year-old boys, have been killed and dozens more have been wounded, Palestinian health officials say. The health officials say another man was shot dead by Israeli troops close to the fence overnight. Hamas had said it would try to keep the crowds a safe distance from the fence, with Egyptian and UN mediators trying to prevent further escalation. The clashes were limited in scope and fears of a large number of deaths have not materialised. The protests quietened in the evening. They came after a tense week in which Palestinian militants fired rockets at Israel and Israel's air force struck dozens of sites in Gaza. But Palestinian sources say Egyptian mediators have made some progress in reaching a new ceasefire agreement between the Palestinians and Israel.

Several benchmarks of AMD's 64-core, 128-thread EPYC Rome processors have popped up in an online database, indicating that the early chips run at a 1.4 GHz base clock and boost to 2.2 GHz. Earlier this year, AMD CEO Lisa Su announced that the 64 core 128 thread EPYC Rome processors would come to market in mid-2019, perhaps setting the stage for a massive upset victory against Intel as AMD marches forward to the 7nm manufacturing process while its competitor remains mired on 14nm. As with any chip in development, early samples are sent to manufacturers for their own interoperability and qualification testing, so we expect some test results to leak out to publicly available testing databases. Several submissions to the SiSoftware Official Live Ranker database have come to light for the EPYC Rome processors over the last few months, most bearing the "Z" descriptor at the beginning of the ZS1406E2VJUG5_22/14_N product identifier. This denotes these are qualification samples, meaning the chip is very close to a final design that will come to market. The test system is listed as a dual-socket Dell PowerEdge R7515 server. Deconstructing the processors' product name reveals the Rome processor's base clock and boost, core and thread count and that it has 64x512KB of L2 cache and 256MB of L3 cache. The test result reveals the processor had an average clock speed of 2.2 GHz during the test. As a general rule, higher core count chips tend to come with much lower base and boost frequencies, due to the increased thermal generation within the package. For instance, AMD's 32-core 64-thread EPYC 7601 has a 2.2 GHz base and 3.2 GHz boost frequency, which could suggest that either Rome's doubling of cores required yet more adjustments to reduce heat (even with a smaller, more efficient 7nm process), or that this is a model with a lower TDP than the flagship parts. AMD hasn't revealed the TDP ranges for its EPYC Rome processors, but the previous-gen models span from 120W to 180W. AMD uses TSMC's N7 7nm process for the chips, which promises to consume half the energy of its previous-gen chips for any given operation. However, aside from improvements to energy consumption, AMD hasn't given further details about the performance of the new node. Intel's 14nm process has been refined over the course of several years, so its 28-core 56-thread Xeon Platinum 8180 clocks in at a 2.8 GHz base and a 3.8 GHz boost. Rome comes wielding the Zen 2 microarchitecture, which AMD says will provide up to two times the compute power per node, improved execution pipeline and double the number of cores. AMD has also doubled floating point performance with the Zen 2 microarchitecture. These gains in performance, particularly to the processors' IPC (instructions per clock), could offset lower frequencies for the higher core-count parts. For example, Su has demoed a single 64-core EPYC Rome processor beating two of Intel's fastest data center processors. The single EPYC processor beat the two 28-core Intel Xeon 8180 processors in the scientific NAMD workload, with the Epyc processor winning by about 19 percent. Earlier this year at the Supercomputing conference, the High Performance Computing Center accidentally released details of its new Hawk supercomputer, revealing that the Rome processors for that system will run at 2.35 GHz, which is largely thought to be a listing of the base frequencies for the processor. That information indicates that AMD may have Rome models with a higher TDP Rome that will therefore unleash more performance. AMD continues to hold the finer details of its Rome processors close to the chest, but we expect more information to surface while we're at the Computex tech conference in Taipei, Taiwan this May. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-epyc-rome-processor-data-center,38939.html

Raspberry Pi's continued success has proven that itty-bitty computers aren't just a fad. That success has attracted a long list of competitors too, and that list grew this week with the official release of Hardkernel's new Odroid-N2 single board computer. Hardkernel announced the Odroid-N2 in February. The device comes in two variants: one with 2GB of RAM that costs $63 and one with 4GB that costs $79. Those versions are otherwise identical, so unless someone's looking to minimize costs as much as possible, we suspect most people will spend the extra $16 to double the memory. The Odroid-N2 features a big.Little configuration comprised of a quad-core Arm Cortex-A73 CPU locked at 1.8GHz and a dual-core Cortex-A53 clocked at 1.9GHz. Those processors work in conjunction with a Mali-G52 GPU with six execution engines clocked at 846MHz, as well as the DDR4 memory running at 1,320MHz. Hardkernel said in its announcement that the Odroid-N2 offers 20 percent faster multi-core CPU and 35 percent faster memory performance than its aptly named Odroid-N1 predecessor. The company also provided a veritable smorgasbord of benchmarks for the Odroid-N2's CPU, GPU, memory, networking and storage performance. The Odroid-N2 currently supports two Ubuntu 18.04 LTS images with the 4.9.162 LTS kernel that will be officially supported until January 2023. It also supports Android 9 (codenamed Pie) but with a few caveats: the kernel is 64-bit but the user land is only 32-bit, and the GUI's resolution is set to 2K but videos can output at 4K. Hardkernel said it "will eventually try to support a 64-bit Android system with Vulkan capable GPU driver in a few months." It's also "intensively working on" a Linux Wayland, (which you can learn more about on its website) driver with Arm and Amlogic; you can follow progress on that driver's development in the Odroid forums. Odroid-N2 is available now from Hardkernel. The company offers bulk order discounts that start at 5 percent off orders of 20 units and reach 7 percent off orders of 300 units. Both Odroid-N2 models' final prices also jump by a few bucks when you select a power supply under the "Option" section. Orders are set to ship April 3.

Basilisk is a free and Open Source XUL-based web browser created by the developers of the Pale Moon browser. It is based on the Goanna layout and rendering engine (a fork of Gecko) and builds on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), which in turn is a fork of the Mozilla code base without Servo or Rust. Basilisk as an application is primarily a vessel for development of the XUL platform it builds upon, and additionally a potential replacement for Firefox to retain the use of Firefox Extensions. It aims to retain useful technologies that its sibling Firefox has removed. https://www.neowin.net/news/basilisk-20190327

There are basically three ways to get a gaming desktop: buying a pre-configured system, customizing a system based on pre-selected components, and building a totally custom system from scratch. Maingear revealed its new Vybe product line today with options meant to appeal to people who fit into any of those categories. The pre-configured Vybe systems are broken up into four stages: "Esports" at the bottom, 1080p, 1440p, and the combined "4K & Creators" at the top. Prices start at $699 for the Esports option and jump all the way up to $2,499 for the 4K & Creators option. Here's how the core components of each "stage" of Vybe compare.

Scott Walker, one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history, has died at the age of 76. The US star found fame as a teen idol in The Walker Brothers, scoring hits with The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore and Make It Easy On Yourself. But his dark baritone hinted at something deeper - and his darker, experimental solo albums tackled the complexities of love, sex and death. Walker's death was confirmed by his current record label, 4AD. In a statement, they called the singer "one of the most revered innovators at the sharp end of creative music". Radiohead's Thom Yorke was among those paying tribute, describing Walker as "a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how I could use my voice and words". Born Noel Scott Engel in Ohio, 1943, Walker initially pursued a career as an actor, before hooking up with John Maus and Gary Leeds to form the misleadingly-named Walker Brothers. After a false start in the US, they relocated to England, where they caused a huge sensation, scoring number one hits with Make It Easy On Yourself and The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore. For a while, the band were as big as the Beatles, greeted by screaming fans everywhere they went. "It was fantastic for the first couple of albums or so but it really wears you down," Walker told the BBC's Culture Show in 2006. "Touring in those days was very primitive. It was really a lot of hard work. And you couldn't find anything good to eat. The hours were unbelievable."

Firefox is a fast, full-featured Web browser. It offers great security, privacy, and protection against viruses, spyware, malware, and it can also easily block pop-up windows.

Quantum is Mozilla's project to build the next-generation web engine for Firefox users, building on the Gecko engine as a solid foundation. Quantum will leverage the fearless concurrency of Rust and high-performance components of Servo to bring more parallelization and GPU offloading to Firefox. Firefox (Quantum) users will be impressed by the modern new design that puts their needs first. With the new (fast and fluid Photon) design, Firefox leaps ahead with a new interface that reflects today’s reality of High DPI displays and users who are more task focused than they’ve ever been. Photon doesn’t just look good, it’s also smarter. If you’re using Photon on a Windows PC with a touch display, the menus change size based on whether you click with a mouse or touch with a finger. Firefox includes pop-up blocking, tab-browsing, integrated Google search, simplified privacy controls, a streamlined browser window that shows you more of the page than any other browser and a number of additional features that work with you to help you get the most out of your time online.

The evidence that AMD is catching up to Intel in the DIY (Do It Yourself) PC market has been mounting for some time. On Amazon and Newegg, Ryzen processors are often featured as best sellers alongside Intel's, Ryzen is a common recommendation from reviewers in several price categories, and perhaps most importantly, sales figures from websites with public sales information reflects a rise of AMD sales and a fall in Intel's. On that note, Tweakers reports AMD is on track to surpass Intel's market share in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg) region, making it the second region in Europe where a retailer has reported that AMD has taken the lead over Intel, the first being Germany, where AMD now leads Intel sales in both units sold and overall revenue on the website Mindfactory. As can be seen in these sales figures for Mindfactory in late 2018, AMD has captured the majority of the market in terms of units sold, though in AMD leads Intel in revenue by only a small margin because AMD's CPUs are generally much less expensive. AMD's victories in the custom market likely boil down to Intel's CPU shortage and the strong perception that AMD represents a better value than Intel, a common praise of Ryzen from reviewers. AMD's mid-range Ryzen 5 2600 is by far its most po[CENSORED]r seller in Germany, whereas Intel's best seller is the high-end Core i7-8700K, with other higher end K-series CPUs close behind. However, these sales actually don't represent a large increase in AMD's share of the desktop market as a whole. As of Q4 of 2018, AMD had only 15.8% of the desktop market, up 3.8% since the last year. This increase is probably largely in part thanks to AMD's gains in the DIY PC market, but people who build their own PCs are a small part of the market. That being said, having so many enthusiasts buy AMD hardware is important for brand recognition and word of mouth. With AMD gaining superiority in the DIY market in Europe, other regions could be soon to follow.

Over the past several quarters, SSD prices have been in freefall, and they are expected to continue this trend for at least another few quarters, according to recent reports. Industry watchers reportedly believe that these aggressive price reductions in the SSD market will convince customers to buy higher-capacity or higher-performance SSDs, or both. Downward Pressure On 512GB/1TB SSDs This week, analyst DRAMeXchange released research saying device makers are putting higher downward pricing pressure on 512GB/1TB SSDs, as they try to increase the “content-per-box.” This should lead to a higher adoption of SSDs in notebooks, as most of them have been stuck with ~256GB SSDs over the past few years, DRAMeXchange believes. DRAMeXchange also said that when it comes to the enterprise SSD market, "demand for server/data centers is the only major demand on the rise in 2019. With a higher gross profit than other products, enterprise SSDs have become the Holy Grail companies vie for." "Suppliers have all set their sights on PCIe products, which have plenty of room for growth and even more opportunities for competition," the analyst said. "Contract prices shall continue to fall in the aftermath." NVMe SSDs to Represent Half of the SSD Market The sales of high-speed NVMe SSDs are expected to reach 50 percent of the total SSD market by the end of 2019, according to a recent DigiTimes report. Unnamed industry experts told the publication that SSDs' fast price decline will lead many consumers to switch to the much higher-performance NVMe SSDs in 2019. The price of NVMe SSDs fell 11 percent in Q1 2019, while the price of SATA SSDs fell by only 9 percent, DigiTimes said, citing its anonymous sources. The price difference per GB was 30 percent on average in 2018 but will continue to shrink throughout the year, it added. Notebook makers are also seen as one of the main customer segments for NVMe SSDs, but these high-performance flash drives are also expected to see adoption for cloud computing, 5G, as well as automotive applications.

BMW has confirmed it’s building a new 2-series, and we’ll see it at the 2019 LA motor show. The first teaser has dropped already, showing off the baby four-door’s new C-pillar. If you think this will be a smaller 4-series Gran Coupe – 10 points to you. It might be easy to confuse this for the 2-series Gran Tourer, but that’s a seven-seat people mover. After the reveal in November 2019 in Los Angeles, the 2-series is planned to go on sale in the spring of 2020. It’ll use the UKL2 front-wheel drive platform like the new 1-series, X1 and X2 SUVs and the Mini Countryman. Although it’s primarily designed as a front-wheel drive car, there will be the option of BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system. We’re afraid the rear-driven layout will be no more from this generation. The BMW 2-series Gran Coupe reportedly carries the model codename F44, and will be approximately 4.5 metres in length – similar to that of the Audi A3 Saloon. While the camouflage doesn’t give much away, a ‘two-eyes’ headlamp design reminiscent of the classic BMW 2002 has been rumoured. In a statement, BMW also makes note of ‘fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption figures’ have been done in the usual EU regulation format. The mention of electric consumption could hint at plug-in or electric variants. Given the 2-series will be on the same platform as the Mini Countryman, a plug-in 2er like the Countryman Cooper S E ALL4 hybrid could be offered. The majority of the pictures in the gallery are of what appears to be a base model, but our spies have also spotted what’s believed to be a development car for the M Performance package on test, pictured below, with lower bumpers, hungrier air intakes and bigger wheels. The car pictured is also likely to be fitted with a more powerful engine, with larger oblong exhaust outlets in place of the regular car’s round tailpipes. Expect racier 2-series GC variants to come with xDrive-branded all-wheel drive, but not necessarily a six-cylinder engine as seen in the current BMW M140i– sadly, it’s unlikely to physically fit in a transverse, front-drive orientation.
