According to a leak from a reliable source, AMD's most affordable RDNA 2 graphics card to date will hit the market soon.
Web site VideoCardz has reported that the first GPUs should hit the press on October 4th, with detailed benchmarks of the Radeon RX 6600, as well as detailed pricing and exact specs, likely to be released on October 13th. Generally, sales start shortly after the embargo date.

The Radeon RX 6600 has 1792 stream processors and 8GB of GDDR6 memory. The card is the sixth model released for the retail market (the RX 6900 XT Liquid is obviously not one of them). According to the spec sheet, the RX 6600 should have 28 compute units, meaning 4 are disabled on the Navi 23 GPU. More importantly, both RX 6600 series cards will have 8GB of GDDR6 memory, no 4GB or 6GB options listed.

Intel's next-generation processors will hit the market in a few weeks, and new test results already show promising gaming performance.
The top model, the Core i9-12900K, will feature 8 performance cores as well as 8 efficient cores due to a completely new architecture, 30MB L3 cache and a clock speed boost of up to 5.2GHz.
The CPU has already been seen in the Ashes of the Singularity test at both 1440p with high detail and 1080p with a combination of medium and high graphics settings. In both cases, the processor was paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 and 64GB of RAM. In the "High_1440p" preset, the chip scores 14,000 points.

That's enough to top the list and push the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X with its 12,600 points. The processor from AMD has 16 powerful cores and 32 threads, but this is clearly not enough to compete with the top model of Intel's next generation.
Intel's next-generation desktop processors show promising results in benchmarks, even if individual results don't yet tell the full picture of performance.
According to the latest rumor from Twitter user "Greymon55", the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace AD102 GPU could be clocked at up to 2.2GHz.
The next generation NVIDIA Ada Lovelace AD102 GPU, powered by the flagship GeForce RTX 40 graphics card, delivers clock speeds up to 2.2GHz. AD102 will become the basis of the flagship line of graphics cards. It will be the successor to the existing GA102 GPU.
The NVIDIA AD102 "ADA GPU" has 18432 CUDA cores according to preliminary specs. This is almost double the number of cores present in Ampere, which was already a significant step up from Turing. A clock speed of 2.2 GHz will give us 81 teraflops of computing performance. That's more than double the performance of the existing RTX 3090, which bundles 36 teraflops of FP32 processing power.
In addition, the source claims that the flagship NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 will retain a 384-bit bus interface similar to the RTX 3090, as well as GDDR6X memory with an effective clock speed of at least 20,000 MHz.
The premiere of Ada Lovelace architecture is expected at the turn of the third and fourth quarters of 2022.
Bad news for anyone looking to buy a graphics card at a reasonable price: affordability is deteriorating again, prices continue to rise accordingly, so you'll again have to pay more than 70% above list price.
3DCenter has published its new analysis of the German GPU market.
NVIDIA GeForce, AMD Radeon GPU pricing and availability, Source: 3DCenter.org
Prices for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 and AMD Radeon RX 6000 are rising again. After a relatively slow rise in AMD Radeon GPUs since the beginning of July, the price has risen from 153% to 174% compared to the official recommended price. In fact, NVIDIA GPUs dropped significantly in price around the beginning of August, but have since gone up again by almost the same amount (between 159% and 170% of MSRP).
Even AMD's cheapest RDNA2 GPU, the RX 6600XT, has been raised in price. The cost of the card is now approaching 600 euros, which is far from the official recommended retail price of 379 euros.
At the moment, it cannot be assumed that graphics card prices will drop sharply in the near future.
A recent report from South Korea suggests that Samsung may be making a coronavirus vaccine for Pfizer.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in is currently on a working visit to the United States and plans to meet with Albert Bourlar, CEO of Pfizer.
Back in May, Moon and US President Joe Biden reached an agreement to jointly develop vaccines between the two countries. This should be discussed in detail this week.
Samsung must play an integral role in this research and development. Samsung belongs to Samsung Biologics, the biotechnology arm of the Samsung Group in Songdo, Incheon. It is known that Samsung Biologics will cooperate with another Korean company, SK Bioscience Co, already engaged in the production of AstraZeneca-SKBio vaccines.
In addition to producing a vaccine, Samsung has also been involved in the fight against the global pandemic on other fronts. For example, last month the company introduced Samsung Pay users to a way to store digital vaccine credentials on their devices.
Some very interesting details about the upcoming Surface Pro 8 have leaked online. According to the data, the tablet should have a new 120Hz display and support the Thunderbolt standard for the first time.
The information was posted by Twitter user "Shadow_Leak". According to the leak, the new tablet will have an 11th generation Intel processor and removable SSDs. The novelty works under the operating system Windows 11.
The Surface Pro 8 is supposed to have a 13-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Microsoft will finally catch up with Apple and its iPad Pro, which has been offering higher frame rates for some time now and can be seen as a competitor. In addition, the new model should have two Thunderbolt ports, which will also be new.
The presentation of Microsoft will begin on September 22 at 18:00 Moscow time. Microsoft will talk about the company's hardware innovations, such as the Surface Pro 8, Surface Go 3 tablets, as well as the features of Windows 11 on the company's devices.
Taiwanese screen manufacturer AU Optronics has announced a new 85-inch panel. It's a 4K LCD with a 240Hz refresh rate.
During a press conference, AU Electronics announced that it will release a 4k240 screen with a screen diagonal of 85 inches, writes DigiTimes. The panel is currently not yet posted on the AUO website. The manufacturer does not disclose many details.
The new matrix has a resolution of 4K, a diagonal of 85 inches and a very high refresh rate of 240 Hz. Also present is 96% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space and a new anti-reflective coating, thanks to which reflections on the screen surface will be almost imperceptible.
Enabling 240Hz will require the latest connection standards such as HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 2.0.
XFX is finally introducing its ultra-premium Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card with pre-installed water block.
The XFX Radeon RX 6900 XT Zero WB is a Navi 21 XTX core card equipped with a pre-installed EK ARGB backlit water block. The base of the block is made of nickel-plated electrolytic copper, and the upper part is made of acrylic. Sealing is provided by high quality EPDM terpolymer O-rings. There are also brass brackets on board for a safe and easy installation. The chip also has a special PCB design with three 8-pin power connectors, allowing the Radeon to draw over 350W.
The device has been overclocked by the company and runs at 2200 MHz in base mode and 2525 MHz in Boost mode. However, the manufacturer claims that with a little effort, you can get a frequency of 3 GHz.
The card should hit stores soon, the source said. However, you can be sure that this will be one of the most expensive Radeon RX 6900 XT.
The well-known manufacturer Beelink will soon bring a new mini PC with U59 to the market.
Regardless of the model variant, the Intel Celeron N5095 is always used. The Jasper Lake generation CPU has four compute cores that can only process four threads due to the lack of hyperthreading support. The base frequency is 2 GHz; individual cores can operate at frequencies up to 2.9 GHz if temperature requirements are met. Cooling is done by a fan, with the CPU on the underside of the motherboard and thus separated from the SSD, RAM, and HDD.
Measuring 124 x 113mm and 42mm high, the Beelink U52 is offered with 8GB or 16GB of RAM and two available DDR4 slots. The built-in SSD has a size of 256 or 512 gigabytes. The memory can be expanded.
Four USB 3.0 type A ports are available for connecting external media and peripherals, as well as one type C port. Two HDMI ports are installed for image output. Network connection is via Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n / ac or Gigabit Ethernet. The WiFi module also supports Bluetooth 4.0, WoL Ethernet chip.
At the moment there is no information about the price.
