It looks like Intel is making progress in its development of a discrete GPU architecture. This of course comes in the wake of their hiring of Raja Koduri, AMD's former Radeon Technologies Group (RTG) head. At the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco Intel unveiled slides pointing to the direction in which its GPU development is headed. They are essentially scaling up their existing iGPU architecture, and allowing it to sustain high clock speeds better.

The PM01 is a full tower chassis that has been one of Silverstone's most popular lately. Updating it this year to add a few modern touches we now have the PM01-FX and PM01-RGB.

AMD's Radeon Pro 400 Series Graphics are what is powering Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro. When the Radeon Pro 400 Series was announced the only thing we really knew was that it was based on the Polaris architecture and that was it. Well under AMD's "Meet the Creators" program the company has now published the specifications.

AMD today unveiled a new family of power-efficient graphics processors, Radeon Pro 400 Series Graphics. Available first in the all-new 15-inch MacBook Pro, select Radeon Pro 400 Series graphics deliver extraordinary performance and efficiency gains over the prior generation to fuel modern creative efforts from anywhere inspiration strikes.

TUL Corporation, a leading and innovative manufacturer of AMD graphic cards since 1997, has announced DEVIL BOX is ready to sell Now. PowerColor DEVIL BOX is based on AMD XConnect Technology which was introduced on March 16th, 2016 by AMD. AMD had developed this technology in collaboration with Intel's Thunderbolt group and Razer Inc.

It looks like NVIDIA could be making their return to Apple Computers. Current Apple Mac computers are powered by graphics chips from AMD, and they have been for a while now. NVIDIA graphics has not been an option for Apple Mac users for some time now. Well it looks like that might change soon, NVIDIA has just posted a job for a software engineer in which their role would require “working in partnership with Apple” and writing code that will “define and shape the future”’ of graphics-related software on Macs.

PowerColor announced their DEVIL BOX External graphics card enclosure a couple days ago. They were not shy showing it off at Computex. This gives us a better idea of what it really looks like all lit up and in action! For those who don't know the DEVIL BOX allows you to install an external graphics card inside it and with AMD XConnect technology you can connect it to your laptop for added performance.

As many of you know NVIDIA is one of the modern makers of graphics processing chips and are quite successful at it. For some reason they were not able to score a design win in the console market because of an under-powered CPU portion, even though their graphics chips are among the most powerful. At their recent quarterly earnings meeting company CEO Jen-Hsun stated that the latest mobile chips from NVIDIA are better than chips in current generation consoles in nearly all aspects.

One of the biggest features you will see talked about with DirectX 12 is asymmetric multi-GPU, which lets you mix and match different GPUs from both AMD and NVIDIA as long as they support a consistent feature-level. In the case of "Ashes of Singularity" that is Direct3D 12_0. In order for this to work you need two DirecX 12 graphics cards and of course a DirectX 12 application, don't expect this to work on DirectX 11 games.

AMD’s 300 series has been overlooked by a lot of people. Their Fury series really took all of the spotlight, but not everyone has that much money to spend on a graphics card. If you are an AMD fan the 300 series still does have a lot to offer. Today we will be taking a look at a R9 380 graphics card, which is more or less a rebranded R9 285. The card is based on the 28nm process and features 1792 stream processors, 32 ROPs, 112 TMUs. On the review block today is the MSI R9 380 Gaming 4G graphics card. MSI has given this card their “Gaming” treatment, which we are big fans of. So you have the Twin Frozr V cooling solution, a factory overclock, fans that turn off when you are not gaming, and of course the MSI Gaming styling on the card itself. Let’s take a look and see what this card is all about!
