One of the most common questions people ask in a hardware conversation is when a piece of equipment is likely to die. In most cases, it’s extremely difficult to find an answer, given that most manufacturers refuse to release this kind of data. Some customers of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, however, now have exactly the opposite issue. HPE knows exactly when their SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) SSDs are going to die, and it’s really hoping to get their attention before something catastrophic happens. This firmware notification is : This HPD8 firmware is considered a critical fix and is required to address the issue detailed below.
Gigabyte has decided to swing for the fences where this whole eGPU thing is concerned. The company has announced a $1500 eGPU, the Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2080 Ti Gaming Box, with included water cooling. This isn’t a true water cooler, however — it’s a closed-loop liquid cooler, which limits how much improvement the system can offer. CLLCs are excellent for affordabilibility, but they don’t offer as much raw cooling capability as an open-loop cooler (open-loop coolers are, of course, more expensive and generally more difficult to work with, but they also offer better performance). It is not particularly surprising that manufacturers aren’t keen to be shipping open loop coolers.

MediaTek has a reputation for making budget ARM chips for mid-range phones, but it’s hoping to become a part of flagship phones by getting out in front with 5G. The company has announced its new Dimensity 1000 system-on-a-chip (SoC) with the . However, it won’t work on some of the primary bands operating in the US. The company’s previous high-end chip was the Helio G90, which had two high-power CPU cores and six low-power cores. That put it on a different, more modest level than the chips from Qualcomm, HiSilicon, and Samsung. The Dimensity 1000 doesn’t just bring new branding; it’s also sporting four Cortex A77 CPU cores and four Cortex A55 CPU cores, all built on a 7nm process node.
NASA’s long-running Commercial Crew Program is a major part of the agency’s plans to expand spaceflight, but the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) is almost as important. As we look toward new moon landings, the CLPS will get the supplies and instruments we need to the lunar surface. Now, NASA has developed a possible way to land them there cheaply and easily. NASA calls it a , but we prefer to think of it as the lunar version of a flatbed truck. Several of the contracts awarded under the CLPS call for companies to design robotic vehicles that can explore the lunar surface.

This is a tidbit that really should have been in the that already ran. Then again, there are still a few graphs I’m still trying to stuff into that review. In my defense, I wound up writing of MATLAB performance yesterday, which means I ran out of time for tidying up some review bits, one of which is the fact that AMD isn’t finished playing “Let’s kick Intel in the head.” *deep breath* AMD is launching a 64-core Threadripper CPU in 2020. AMD’s willingness to give the TDP is significant in this context. The Epyc 7742 is a 64C/128T chip with a 2.25GHz base clock and a boost clock of up to 3.4GHz in a 225W TDP.
Black Friday sales are almost upon us, and it’s a foregone conclusion that Chromebooks will feature prominently in many retailers’ sales. Many of these computers are already a good value without any discounts, but Black Friday sales can make them worthy of an impulse purchase. However, you’d do well to make sure that laptop is worth buying even for a pittance before you pull the trigger. One of the primary selling points of Chromebooks is how little you need to do to maintain them. You just log in with a Google account, go about your business in the Chrome browser, and know that Google will occasionally update the core components silently in the background.
