NVIDIA RTX 4080 and 4090 to Launch in September 2022: Up to 2x More Performance than the RTX 3090 [Rumor]

by Atharva Gulhane February 23, 2022

In the second half of the year, NVIDIA plans to release its next-generation RTX 40 series graphics cards. These GPUs will roughly double the raster and ray-tracing performance of existing RTX 30 “Ampere” parts, thanks to the Ada Lovelace microarchitecture and TSMC’s N5 (5nm) process node. According to reputable tipster Greymon55, NVIDIA will release its next generation of GeForce cards in September, beginning with the RTX 4080 and 4090.

The RTX 4080 is expected to have 16GB of GDDR6X memory running at around 21Gbps, while the RTX 4090 will have 20-30GB of GDDR6X memory. In terms of specifications, we’re looking at up to 18,432 FP32 cores. The flagship AD102 is said to have 144 SMs spread across 12 GPCs. Given that the core is running close to 2GHz, this results in a raw compute gain of over 2.5x (90 TFLOPs) over the GA102.

GPU	TU102	GA102	AD102	GH202
Arch	Turing	Ampere	Ada Lovelace	Hopper
Process	TSMC 12nm	Sam 8nm LPP	TSMC 5nm	3nm?
GPC	6	7	12	~20
TPC	36	42	72	~140
SMs	72	84	144	~300
Shaders	4,608	10,752	18,432	~36,000?
TFLOPs	16.1	37.6	90 TFLOPs?	150 TFLOPs+
Memory	11GB GDDR6	24GB GDDR6X	24GB GDDR6X	32GB GDDR7?
Bus Width	384-bit	384-bit	384-bit	512-bit
TGP	250W	350W	600W?	600W+
Launch	Sep 2018	Sep 20	Aug-Sep 2022	2024

The RTX 4080 and 4090 should have the same bus width as their predecessors (384 and 320 bits, respectively), but with faster GDDR6X chips, resulting in even more memory bandwidth. The Lovelace-based RTX 4070, RTX 4080, RTX 4090, and their brethren, according to Greymon55, will essentially be a miniaturization of their RTX 30 series predecessors on TSMC’s N5 (5nm) node.

On the top-end AD102 die, NVIDIA plans to increase the die size to nearly 900mm2 and pack over 18,000 FP32 ALUs or CUDA cores. Naturally, as more games adopt the technology, ray-tracing performance will receive special attention. To significantly improve RT capabilities, expect either a doubling of RT cores or some sparse matrix-grade optimization.

ChromeOS Flex: Google’s New OS for Windows, Mac users

by Atharva Gulhane February 17, 2022

written by Atharva Gulhane

Google’s Chromebooks and ChromeOS have made significant inroads into the Windows and Mac-dominated PC market. It’s now taking things a step further by releasing a new version of ChromeOS Flex for Windows PCs and Macs. According to a Google blog post, the new operating system will be known as ChromeOS Flex. Here are the specifics:

What is ChromeOS Flex?

Chrome OS Flex is a new, free-to-download operating system from Google, according to the company. In a blog post, Google stated, “Built for businesses and schools, it’s fully compatible with Google’s powerful cloud-based management.” Chrome OS Flex is designed for Mac and Windows PC users who want to switch from their current operating system.

What are the key features of ChromeOS Flex?

Chrome OS Flex, according to Google, will provide quick access to web apps and ease of use. Chrome OS Flex starts up quickly and does not slow down with use. Users will experience less downtime as a result of background system updates.

Google claims that antivirus software isn’t required with Chrome OS Flex. Chrome OS Flex has built-in protection against threats such as viruses, ransomware, and phishing, thanks to regular security updates.

How different is ChromeOS Flex from ChromeOS?

Not much of a difference. Google claims that Chrome OS Flex will include apps and services such as Chrome Browser, Google Assistant, and cross-device capabilities in the same user interface as Chrome OS.

Why ChromeOS is a ‘lifeline’ for old laptops?

Because ChromeOS is light and simple to use, it may be able to save old laptops. “Rather than throwing away old PCs and Macs, update them with a modern, fast operating system to reduce e-waste,” Google wrote in a blog post.

How to download ChromeOS Flex?

Google has been testing Chrome OS Flex with Googlers and other large customers, according to the company. Users can now get early access to the operating system. “All you need is a USB drive and a compatible PC or Mac to get started, and it’s completely free to download,” Google explained.
Users can try Chrome OS Flex without installing it by booting from a USB drive – it’s completely risk-free. Users can replace their operating system with Chrome OS Flex on their PC or Mac for the best experience.

Things to keep in mind before trying ChromeOS Flex

Users should be aware that because it is in early access and on the developers’ channel, they may encounter numerous bugs. A stable version of Chrome OS Flex will be available in the coming months, according to Google.

How well is your laptop’s Battery Life and Performance? Windows 10/11

by Atharva Gulhane January 20, 2022

written by Atharva Gulhane

Get a detailed breakdown of your laptop or tablet’s battery life status. This post will show you how to create a battery report in Windows 10 and Windows 11. The report contains data about the battery’s overall health, recent consumption, usage history, and other statistics.

How to Generate a Battery Report in Windows 10/11

One of the most important pieces of hardware on your laptop or tablet is the battery. A battery’s life lifetime reduces as it ages, and its ability to hold a charge declines. Use a built-in tool to make a battery report if you suspect your battery’s performance is fading too soon. The report is saved as an HTML file that you can read on a web browser and contains information about your system, all installed batteries, usage, capacity history, and estimated battery life.

1 . Press Win+X, then select Windows PowerShell (Admin) and select Yes when the User Account Control box appears.

2. Enter powercfg /batteryreport /output “C:\battery-report.html” into PowerShell, then press Enter.

3. After you perform the battery report command, PowerShell will display a message with the location where it was saved.

4. In a web browser, open the report. To get to the report’s location, use Windows Explorer.

Check Battery Health in Windows 10

After you’ve generated and opened your battery report, check over each part to have a better understanding of your battery’s performance and expected life span.

The first section, just beneath Battery Report, contains some basic system information, such as the name of your computer, BIOS version, OS build, and the date the report was prepared.

The name, manufacturer, serial number, chemistry, and design capacity of your laptop or tablet batteries are listed in the second section, below Installed batteries.

Recent Usage

This section provides a detailed breakdown of when your device was powered by battery or by AC power. Recent consumption contains the start time, state (active/suspended), source (battery/ac), and capacity remaining for the previous three days.

A screenshot of a Windows 10 battery report showing recent consumption.

Battery Usage

Before generating the report, this section lists any battery drains over the last three days. This part would break it down by start time or duration, as well as energy drained if your system running on batteries alone for an extended amount of time.

Usage History

You’ll find a detailed history (including duration) of every time your device was powered by either battery or AC power in this section. Examining your usage history might help you figure out how often and for how long you use your device’s battery.

Battery capacity history

The full charge capacity of your battery is compared to its design capacity for each time in this portion of the report. Another useful technique to track the general health and performance of your battery over time is to keep an eye on its full charge capacity.

Battery Life Estimates

The report’s final section compares battery life estimates at full charge to the designed capacity. This section provides a clear picture of how well your battery is holding up over time. An estimated battery lifetime value is given at the bottom of the report, based on observed drains since the last OS installation.

Few manufacturers like ASUS, HP provide some applications built into their laptops which also provide similar information but with just some interface that they had designed.

Hope you liked the blog on generating the report for battery life share with people you feel might feel this information useful and also if you want to know something more special comment it, we are here to help you out!

Lenovo ThinkPads have an all-new design and AMD Ryzen 6000 processors

by Atharva Gulhane January 5, 2022

written by Atharva Gulhane

Lenovo already offers a wide range of ThinkPads, ranging from the entry-level E-series to the flagship X1 series. However, the business is presenting an entirely new line today at what would have been CES: the Lenovo ThinkPad Z series, which includes the Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 and Z16.

What’s particularly intriguing about the ThinkPad Z series is that it features an entirely new design, which is unusual for ThinkPads. Indeed, ThinkPad is known for being a conservative company. While Lenovo does experiment with it, as evidenced by the ThinkPad X1 Fold and ThinkPad X1 Titanium, it’s mostly about a black rectangular shape.

It’s made out of vegan leather and metal, with bronze accents on the Z13 shown above. It’s also available in grey and black, so if you really want a black ThinkPad, you can have one.

They’re both powered by AMD’s new Ryzen PRO 6000 CPUs, albeit the 13-inch model will be U-series while the 16-inch model will be H-series. Dedicated AMD Radeon graphics are also available on the bigger ThinkPad Z16.

USB 4 is also included with the ThinkBook Z series. As a result, these two are among the first AMD laptops to enable Thunderbolt 3, which was previously only available on Intel laptops.

They also have 16:10 displays, either 13.3 or 16 inches in size. If you want a longer battery life, you can buy it in 1,9201,200, but there are also OLED choices. The ThinkPad Z13 has a 2.8K OLED display, whereas the Z16 has a 4K OLED display.

The ThinkPad Z13 and Z16 have the highest screen-to-body ratios in Lenovo’s entire ThinkPad lineup, with 91.6 percent and 92.3 percent, respectively.

While it has a fresh design that feels more current than previous ThinkPads, the TrackPoint, the red nub in the centre of the keyboard that you can use to manipulate the pointer, is still a relic from the past. This is still provided with every ThinkPad.

The keyboard, on the other hand, is more modern, being shallower than that of a ThinkPad X1 Carbon. The keys are 1.35mm deep, which is the same as on the ThinkPad X1 Nano and ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga.

Above the touchpad, you’ll see that there are no physical buttons, which are required for use with the TrackPoint. Because it’s a larger, tactile touchpad, they’re merely buried. You’ll be allowed to continue to do so.

When it comes to when you’ll be able to get your hands on these stunning new ThinkPads, it won’t be long, as is typical of devices revealed at CES. Both are scheduled to arrive in May 2022. The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 will be available for $1,549, and the Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 will be available for $2,099.

A New Intel Core i9-12900K sample with DDR5-8000 RAM has been Spotted

by Atharva Gulhane October 3, 2021

written by Atharva Gulhane

Alder Lake Intel Core i9 12900K will be love at first sight. For DDR5 overclockers

In a nutshell: With Alder Lake’s formal reveal only a few weeks away, it’s no wonder that additional leaks are appearing online. The most recent one appears to indicate that Intel’s 12th generation CPUs will have a powerful memory controller which will allow users to push DDR5 memory further than DDR4 memory has ever gone.

There has been a slew of Alder Lake leaks recently, but the majority of them have been about how well Intel’s forthcoming Core i9-12900K CPU compares to AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X, which is now the performance king. The Core i9-12900K appears to be the greatest desktop component to come out of Team Blue’s lab in a long time, at least in its early iterations, but there are still too many unknowns to give an accurate assessment of its potential.

DDR5 and how it would affect Alder Lake’s performance in certain circumstances like gaming has sparked a lot of discussions. DDR4 and DDR5 memory will be supported by the new CPUs, and most of the leaks we’ve seen so far have come from a Core i9-12900K using DDR5 memory.

If a new leak from Twitter user REHWK is correct, Alder Lake CPUs will ship with a powerful memory controller, which will be a boon to RAM aficionados. The main specs of the Core i9-12900K, a 16-core, the 24-thread component with a TDP of 125 watts, and no AVX-512 functionality, are also confirmed in the CPU-Z screenshot supplied by the leaker.

In this latest leak, the Alder Lake processor is seen on a Z690 Aorus Tachyon motherboard with Gigabyte’s DDR5-6200 memory kit. DDR5-6200 memory will run at DDR5-4800 speeds by default, according to JEDEC specifications, with timings of 42-39-39-77-116 at 1.1V. Timings are tightened to 38-38-38-76-125 in the XMP-6200 profile, while the operating voltage is increased to 1.5V for steady operation. A different XMP-6400 profile is available with more relaxed timings and a 1.45V working voltage.

To put things into perspective, Intel’s reaction to AMD’s Infinity Fabric memory overclocking modes is Gear modes, which debuted with Rocket Lake. Gear 1 enables you to operate both the memory controller and the memory at the same time, whereas Gear 2 and Gear 4 allow you to run them at different times. In Gear 2, the memory controller operates at half the frequency of the memory, whereas in the latter mode, the memory controller operates at one-quarter the frequency of the memory.

The memory controller on the next CPU range is supposed to enable up to a 67 percent memory overclock to DDR5-8000 from the DDR5-4800 standard, with timings set to 50-50-50-100-150 for CL, tRDC, tRP, tRAS, and tRC, respectively, according to this latest leak. The overclocker did it in Gear 2 mode, which means the memory controller runs at about 2,000 MHz while the memory runs at 4,000 MHz (8,000 MHz effective speed). The current DDR4 overclocking record is 7,156 MHz, thus this leak implies that DDR5 will be able to achieve greater speeds straight out of the gate.

Overall, it’s a remarkable achievement that most certainly necessitated some unusual cooling. We have yet to see how big of a speed advantage DDR5 has over DDR4 and not whether the price premium you’ll have to pay for the privilege is worth it. At least one manufacturer intends to use overclocked modules to break the 10,000 MHz barriers, so it’ll be fascinating to see what DDR5 has in store.

Windows 11 Build 22000.194 Update (KB5005635) is out with improvements

by Atharva Gulhane September 19, 2021

written by Atharva Gulhane

Another small update, Windows 11 Build 22000.194, is now available for testers in the Windows Insider program. Today’s patch, like the previous cumulative updates, focuses on bug fixes and quality improvements. No new features are included, however, testers will now have access to three new app upgrades.

The patch is titled “2021-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5005635)” and is now ready for beta testing. This update is also available in the Dev Channel for unsupported devices, and it can be obtained directly from Windows Update.

Before the intended October 5 release, Windows 11 KB5005635 is supposed to fix the remaining issues in the operating system. This release includes a number of bug fixes as well as one significant change: TPM 2.0 is now required in virtual machines such as Hyper-V Manager and VMWare.

In Windows 11 Build 22000.194, there are several new features (KB5005635)

The following issues have been fixed in Windows 11 Build 22000.194:

When you enable and disable a high-contrast theme, Microsoft has fixed a fault that could cause artifacts around the program windows and dialogues. The UI of the minimize/maximize/close buttons is affected by this bug, but it can be rectified in some circumstances by restarting your device.
On newer standby-enabled PCs, Microsoft has corrected Blue Screen of Death problems.
PowerShell now creates an endless number of child directories, thanks to a Microsoft patch. When testers used the PowerShell Move-Item command, they discovered the flaw.

TPM is now required for all users of Windows 11

You can no longer install Windows 11 in virtual machines without TPM 2.0 after today’s cumulative update. Users could previously install the new operating system in virtual machines that didn’t match the minimal hardware requirements. After this preview update, that will change.

TPM 2.0 is now a requirement for virtual machines, Microsoft announced on Twitter. When Windows 11 is released to the public on October 5, TPM 2.0 is expected to be a mandatory requirement for all users.

The new cumulative updates will not be applied to VMs that do not currently use TPM. If you’re using Hyper-V, you can enable the TPM module by switching to a Generation 2 VM. VMWare users must first enable encryption (which requires free disc space) before adding the TPM 2.0 module from the VMWare settings.

How to install Windows 11 KB5005635

To install Windows 11 KB5005635 (Build 22000.194), follow these steps:

Open Windows Settings.
Head Windows Update page.
The download will begin automatically.

Once done, click on the “Restart now” button to apply the changes.

Anyways if you alter the registry or the media images, Windows 11 can be installed on any device (.ISO). You can also use Media Creation Control to install the new operating system, but this option will only be accessible in October.

Build 22000.194 has a number of known faults.

The following are known issues with Windows 11 Build 22000.194:

The widgets board in Windows 11 is still not working for everyone. Users may not see updates in the widgets panel in some
configurations, and they must sign out and then sign back in to resolve the issue.
The Windows widgets may show in the wrong size on various displays, however this may be remedied by launching
the widgets on your actual PC display.
If Windows Search stops working for you, use Task Manager to restart the “Windows Explorer” process and reopen
the search panel. This is because the search panel on some PCs may seem black.
When you type text in Search from Start or the Taskbar, the taskbar is unable to detect it. Open Windows Run (WIN)
and close the dialogue to fix the problem.

If you find a new significant flaw in the update, as always, you can uninstall it and reinstall Windows 10. If you want to uninstall this fix, go to Settings > Windows Update > Control Panel and uninstall it.

The launch of the app to the general public, as well as additional app updates

Windows 11 21H2 is a major update with a new design and stringent hardware requirements, as you’re surely aware. On the other side, Windows 10 will receive version 21H2, which is a minimal update based solely on the enablement package and can be deployed in under five minutes.

Microsoft is planned to issue the feature upgrade on October 5, although it will not be available to the majority of customers on that day.

Microsoft has begun pushing out a new Snipping Tool, Calculator, and Clock app with Focus Sessions/Spotify integration in addition to today’s cumulative update.

Why does Intel Alder Lake CPUs have a better chance to outperform AMD Ryzen processors?

by Atharva Gulhane August 22, 2021

written by Atharva Gulhane

The last thing we requested Intel to do was to migrate to the 10nm process for its mainstream desktop CPUs, and with Intel Architecture Day, Intel demonstrated their commitment to their next Intel Alder Lake CPUs and GPUs.

Alder Lake is significant for Intel because it establishes the foundation for its mainstream desktop processors to once again be competitive and efficient, as they once were. Indeed, a few years of leadership failure and the belief that there would be no competition would leave them as the king had led to their demise.

Introducing Intel Alder Lake CPU ‘s

Although Intel‘s business does not just stop with desktop or mobile CPUs, it has a large business that encompasses a wide range of products. So, despite having a difficult year in terms of desktop CPU sales last year, they were profitable each quarter.

However, Intel’s image has traditionally been that of a silicon behemoth that produces chips, and AMD has questioned that image in recent years. Obviously, competition helps companies bring the best out of their pockets, so AMD’s Ryzen deserves credit for helping Intel regain its footing.

Intel’s mobile processors have done well, with Tiger Lake providing good performance and 8-core variants such as the Core i9-11900HK easily outperforming AMD’s finest CPUs. In recent years, however, Intel has lost its lead in mainstream desktop processors or High-Performance Client-Side Processors.

AMD quickly gained a significant portion of the desktop processor market, and its Threadripper CPUs are truly monstrous when it comes to high-performance computing. Intel’s stronghold in the server and data center sector has eroded as AMD’s EPYC server CPUs have proven to be highly capable.

Intel’s 11th Gen Rocket Lake CPU introduction in 2021 was a disaster; pricing its 8-core based Core i9-11900K for over $500 makes no sense at all, especially when the Ryzen 9 5900X comes in at $549. Even in benchmarks, Intel CPUs dominated gaming performance, but that changed in 2020 and will continue in 2021; buyers aren’t convinced by Rocket Lake.

So, Intel is aiming for 12th Gen Alder Lake processors; unveiling its next-gen CPUs in less than 6 months demonstrates how poorly they performed in the market. Despite the fact that Intel has provided good budget chips such as the Core i5-10600K or even the Core i3s, they are still convincing and provide good entry-level solutions.

When compared to Intel’s 11th Gen SKUs, 10nm-based Alder Lake promises a 19 percent increase in IPC. Up to 8 Efficiency cores and up to 8 Performance cores are included in the hybrid design, which represents a substantial advancement in the company’s power efficiency goals.

The silicon giant is banking on its Intel 7 process, with TDPs ranging from 9 to 125 watts for these devices. You’ll also get the latest DDR5 RAM support, as well as industry-first PCIe Gen 5 support, as well as new technologies like Intel Thread Director, which will operate with Windows 11.

Alder Lake is a scalable architecture that may be used in a variety of form factors, from an LGA1700 socket to an ultra-mobile form factor. Up to 24 threads will be supported, and you’ll have a competent iGPU with 96 EUs of Xe architecture. However, Intel’s claim of a 19 percent increase in IPC over Rocket Lake is startling.

But keep in mind that if this is the truth, and Intel isn’t lying to us as it did when it said Rocket Lake gave a 19 percent IPC boost over Skylake, which is a decade-old architecture, Intel could actually beat AMD. It did with Tiger Lake-H, although perhaps not to the extent that they deserved, but if Intel can sustain stock levels and equal AMD’s performance, customers will choose Intel again.

However, AMD still has a 16-core counterpart in the market, the Ryzen 9 5950X, which might be a Ryzen 5000 series upgrade to fight Alder Lake. However, as a consumer and tech enthusiast, I am looking forward to some exciting days ahead as Intel returns to the performance competition.

NVIDIA and AMD GPUs will be challenged by Intel Arc Desktop Graphics Cards.

by Atharva Gulhane August 20, 2021

written by Atharva Gulhane

Intel Arc is the new name for their upcoming high-performance graphics cards for desktop and notebook computers. Intel Arc, like other Intel brands, will offer a variety of Intel hardware, software, and services aimed at enthusiast graphics users. Until now, Intel’s upcoming desktop graphics card based on the Xe high-performance graphics microarchitecture had only been referred to as the “DG2.” It will be known as “Alchemist” from now on, and it will be the first generation of the Arc graphics card line.

The codenames Battlemage, Celestial, and Druid have been revealed for future generations of Intel’s discrete GPU roadmap. Desktops and notebooks with the new Intel Arc graphics solutions are expected to hit the market in Q1 2022, according to reports.

“Today is a watershed moment in our graphic design journey, which began only a few years ago. Intel’s deep and ongoing commitment to gamers and creators worldwide is reflected in the launch of the Intel Arc brand and the announcement of future hardware generations. When these products are available early next year, we have teams working tirelessly to ensure we deliver first-class and frictionless experiences,” said Roger Chandler, Intel vice president, and general manager of Client Graphics Products and Solutions.

RUMOURED INTEL ARC DG2 SPECIFICATIONS

Multiple SKUs have been suggested for Intel DG2 graphics, with the top SKU sporting 512 Execution Units clocked at a base frequency of 1.1 GHz and a Turbo frequency of 1.8 GHz, according to rumors. This means that the top SKU would have approximately 4096 Shaders. Mobile GPUs are expected to have a TDP of 100-120W, while desktop GPUs will have more headroom. In terms of memory, we’re looking at a 16 GB GDDR6 video buffer with a 256-bit wide bus.

RAY-TRACING AND SUPER SAMPLING WITH INTEL ARC

The Intel Arc graphics cards will support AI-driven supersampling and hardware-accelerated ray-tracing, according to Intel. NVIDIA RTX and Microsoft’s DXR are two hardware-accelerated ray-tracing technologies that NVIDIA and AMD both support. NVIDIA, on the other hand, is the only company with AI-driven supersampling in the form of DLSS. According to reports, Intel Arc will support the entire DirectX 12 feature set.

RELEASE DATE FOR INTEL ARC GRAPHICS CARDS

The Intel Arc family of desktop and notebook graphics solutions will be available in Q1 2022, with more information on these new GPUs to be released in Q3/Q4 2021. Intel has been sampling its Intel Arc “DG2/Alchemist” GPUs for some time, and the Q1 2022 launch window suggests a public unveiling at CES 2022 in Las Vegas.
