A PCIe 2.0 x1 interface, 500 MB. No faster than USB 3.0. meh We must be able to think of things we want in a future Raspberry Pi 6 (or any other high-end ARM SBC) too, it seems... Let's kick of then! At least one PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, whether M.2 or PCIe. Replace the ancient SD card slot with eith...

So, if I now were to design the Raspberry Pi 5, I would.... Add an NVMe M.2 slot -at the backside- for added storage. Use an eMMC module, to either replace the Micro-SD slot or as an addition to it. Upgrade to the ARM Cortex-A73 -or even the A76, if feasible. Unlock the full power of ARMv8 instruct...

Just bagged my 71st 1 million credits sub-project! (Yafu Small) Next in line is Ithena Measurements PERF, but that will take some time longer. Ithena's OONI Probe might be there even earlier...

You don't say whether he was caught or not ... either might result in weight loss

Intel-wise there's a new king in low-powerland, with a 'fancy' name, too. No numbers (e.g 80486DX4-133) or names (e.g. 'Pentium', 'Celeron', or 'Core'), the Intel Marketing department has completely outdone itself and has come up with the name 'Processor'. Commercially the first offered to us is de ...

How to lose MASSIVE amounts of weight! We need to figure out a way to market this! Any ideas??? Worth reading to the end- I promise! A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 5lbs. weight loss program. The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, ...

The NH-D9L (including one fan) weighs 531 gram, two additional NF-A9 PWM fans weigh 184 gram, so the triple fan cooler weighs 715 gram, 0.715 Kg. It looks far more massive than it is, on the picture. Mind you, the NH-D9 retail series is rated for 3U servers (max height 133 mm). A NH-D15 (with two fa...

When we discuss cooling here it is mainly whether (AIO) water-cooling is better than air cooling, where air cooling usually means: BIG air, e.g. the Noctua NH-D15 or likewise dual tower/twin fan coolers. But suppose such a cooler won't fit your case? You can usually find good performing 120mm cooler...

Much in accordance with the usual 'Baldric' plans this resulted in another boot-looping system -without even showing a BIOS screen, much as the other.... One of the problems has surfaced: a loose power cord in the laptop brick that powers the Antec iTX casing -the part that runs from the PC into the...

Well, I didn't post in "Drop-in" replacement for nothing.... Only the Athlon-A12 9800GE in the A320M Pro 4 comes up at the moment.... The X370 refuses to boot at all and the B450 enters a boot loop, most likely due to too fast RAM (3600 MHz). The cunning plan (thanks, Baldric) is to put th...

One dismal rainy night in Sydney a taxi driver spotted an arm waving from the shadows of an alley. Even before he rolled to a stop at the curb, a figure leaped into the cab and slammed the door. Checking his rear view mirror as he pulled away, he was startled to see a dripping wet, naked woman sitt...

Yet another round in the "Drop-in" replacement story: I'll be changing the Ryzen 5 3400G in my ASRock B450 Pro4 for a Ryzen 7 5700G, while the Athlon-A12 9800GE in my ASRock Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITX/ac will be replaced with the Ryzen 5 3400G (the 3400G taking its RAM with it). The Athlon-A...

Another thermos joke: A woman walks into a sex shop looking for a dildo. She asks the clerk "How much for the white one?". He says "That one's $25." She asks "How much for the black one?" He says "That one's $45." She looks around for a bit then asks "Mmm...

A word of warning from my not-so-enthusiastic alter ego: :character-count: The latest RISC-V boards are, BOINC-wise, equipped with a non-functional CPU, a non-functional GPU and a dito non-functional NPU. They have much in common with the ARM SBC's, albeit that the CPU on those is at least supported...

Denis is still active, and has new apps too -at least: expanded their range of BOINC-platforms, especially for ARM based systems.

No, this is not the title of the latest novel by the Chinese author Liu Cixin, but about a family of closely related x86 CPUs.

It is more of the same at AMD Users..

AMD has Dr. Lisa T. Su, but Intel has Patrick P. Gelsinger. Question: where is Jim Keller? (at Tenstorrent, a RISC-V startup)

Do AMD still have any green in their logo's at all? At least the max Tdp values don't suggest so...

A word of warning: having ARM Applications on a project does not mean that you'll be able to run them on your board, -unless it is WEP-M+2. It looks like some developers test it on systems with either more RAM than 4GB, or only test it with one WU running and completing and then declare it OK for th...

The new Jetson AGX Orin variants have all you want and perhaps even more (275(!) TOPS AI performance), but indeed operate in a 15-60 Watt power range -and are as expensive as a good x86-64 box: 2,000 (32GB) or 2,600 (64GB) Euro's over here.

SATA right away on the board presently offers hardly an advantage as opposed to piggy-back via USB 3.0, while NVMe speed on the CM4 is restricted to PCIe 2.0 x1 speed. Jeff Geerling reports that the CM4 maxes out at 420 MB/sec, while Christopher Barnatt's piggy-back experiments with the Pi 4 mostly ...

Crunching on a Raspberry Pi began more than 10 years ago when a -then- young Australian, Daniel Carrion , decided that it would be fun to be able to crunch by means of a Raspberry Pi This project aims to have the Raspberry Pi running a BOINC project. Raspberry Pi runs an ARMv6 processor, which makes...

There's a new Radxa Rock 5, the Model A. As is often with Radxa, the A model is without WiFi. It also exchanges the regular RK3855 with a RK3588S, without IHS (Integrated Heat Shield), a bit less I/O and all this compressed on a board the size of a Raspberry Pi -creditcard format. Reason enough for ...

Argh! -As the pirate p4 said-, they're not gonna like me at ASUS headquarters...The power consumption of their Tinker Board S negates its otherwise good (32-bit-wise) daily scores.

When we buy hard disks, whether they are HDDs or SSDs, we want them to be fast and have as much GBs as possible, -for the money we spend. But how fast is fast enough, and what about your lecky bill?
