NVIDIA AI Exploration and Computex Showcase

by Court Smith Posted on July 8, 2023July 7, 2023

NVIDIA has been exploring AI and datacenters lately; see what they’re up to in these recordings of their recent NVIDIA AI presentation and the rest of their Computex showcase.

Recently, at Compute x Taipei 2023 which was held May 30th – June 2nd of this year, NVIDIA presented some AI related predictive generation tool based explorations they have been working on, as well as some developments in datacenter machines that could reduce the cost and size needed to produce a high workload throughput. These are some interesting developments for folks who use high-powered machines and GPU datacenters for work and industrial tasks.

Check out these videos of some of what they presented during the event: a text-to-song generative tool, as well as improvements in GPU datacenter machines that they say will greatly improve efficiency and result in higher throughput under a given power limit.

NVIDIA AI text-to-song generation

As an example of NVIDIA AI exploration, NVIDIA used an AI tool from Voicemod to put some lyrics to a tune and created a short song, which they invited the audience to do a karaoke style sing-along to during their presentation.

NVIDIA GPU datacenter machines

NVIDIA is hoping to meet the increasing demand for the services that GPU servers and datacenters can provide, and get around the problem of power limitation, as well as cost, by developing more dense, faster, and cost-effective datacenter machines. Almost all datacenters face the issue of power limitation, so NVIDIA has decided to dedicate their teams to developing a way to achieve more work under the same given power limitations.

Increasing the density of the computing power for GPU datacenter machines lowers the number of and size of computers necessary to complete a task, and thus the necessary power draw, and as a result also the cost required to sustain the same work output. This also raises the potential performance throughput ceiling for a datacenter as it will be able to achieve more work under the same power limitation. These improvements also result in a smaller physical machine, which is more conveneint when it comes to storage for a datacenter.

NVIDIA also brought a physical example of one of these improved datacenter machines to the presentation, so you can see just how much less mass can produce the same amount of performance as massive datacenters with many large machines have in the past. The machine costs $200,000 and packs a lot of power, despite its small size.

It can replace an entire room of less efficient server machines, which can also help save on costs to store this equipment, as a smaller room can house much more power in it using denser datacenter machines. It offers advantages from being much smaller in footprint, but it is also interesting to note that due to its density, even the individual compute trays of this datacenter machine are actually very heavy, as well as powerful.

NVIDIA 4060 Ti: Two VRAM Options for this Lower Priced GPU

by Court Smith Posted on June 2, 2023June 7, 2023

NVIDIA recently expanded their GPU line with the NVIDIA 4060 Ti. Here’s what we think about it so far!

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is one of the latest addition to NVIDIA’s line of powerful GPUs. The NVIDIA 4060 Ti GPU will have two versions, one with 8GB of VRAM and one with 16. Of course, the 16 GB version will pack more power, with double the VRAM of the other version. The 8GB version is available now, and the 16 GB version is expected in July, for an MSRP of $499.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti’s 8GB version is a current-generation graphics card that offers nice performance and features for gamers and professionals alike. NVIDIA announced that MSRP for this version of the GPU will be a step lower than the rest of the 40-series so far, at $399 for the NVIDIA 4060 Ti’s 8GB version.

It is powered by the ultra-efficient NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, which provides its 4th generation Tensor Cores with huge increases in performance through DLSS 3 compared to brute-force rendering in compatible applications. The GPU also, of course, features NVIDIA’s ray tracing capabilities, allowing for realistic lighting and shadows in games and other applications.

In addition to gaming, the RTX 4060 Ti 8GB version can be used for basic content creation tasks. With its impressive specs and performance metrics, the NVIDIA 4060 Ti is an ideal choice for gamers, content creators, and professionals alike.

NVIDIA 4060 Ti 8GB Version Technical Specifications Overview

CUDA cores	4352
Base Clock / Boost Clock	2.31 GHz / 2.54 GHz
VRAM	8GB GDDR6
Memory Interface Width	128-bit
PSU system wattage requirement	550 Watts

^{Full technical specifications for the NVIDIA 4060 Ti available on NVIDIA’s website.}

It has great potential for gamers looking for decent performance on the latest triple A games, or high performance in esports games, as well as content creators who require some light graphics rendering capabilities for their projects. Whether you’re a gamer looking for improved visuals or a professional needing reliable computing power for basic rendering tasks, this flexible GPU has you covered with its wide range of ability.

Is the NVIDA 4060 Ti’s 8 GB VRAM version enough for a current-generation card?

Whether 8 GB of VRAM will be enough for you all depends on what you are trying to do. We think there are plenty of games that PCs with this GPU will be able to handle just fine, with the support of a CPU and amount of system RAM that meets or exceeds the recommended requirements for what you’re trying to do. It should even be able to handle some video editing, if you are not working at very high resolutions or with many effects, and even some basic 3D modeling/rendering tasks.

If you’re planning to do some very VRAM intensive tasks, however, you might want to consider more power than the NVIDIA 4060 Ti’s 8GB version packs. For things like intensive 3D rendering, high-resolution video editing, or streaming the latest and most graphically intensive games out there, or anything else that calls for a very high amount of VRAM, a card with more VRAM than the NVIDIA 4060 Ti’s 8GB version may be necessary.

2023 PC Hardware Releases: Discover the Future of Gaming

by Court Smith Posted on March 3, 2023March 16, 2023

There are some exciting new PC hardware releases on the horizon, and some have already arrived–here’s what we’re looking forward to getting our hands on.

2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike. Mark your calendars for the latest PC hardware releases: NVIDIA and AMD are both set to release new models of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), AMD is set to release more CPUs (Central Processing Units) in its 7000 series lineup this year, and Intel may even release their 14th generation of CPUs as well.

Many kicked off the year by showcasing their upcoming advancements at this year’s earlier CES conference. There are a lot of amazing new components coming out that will make it easier to take your gaming to the next level, and some are already here. Let’s dive into what these companies have planned and what these new releases have to offer.

More GPU Models Coming for NVIDIA’s 40 Series Lineup

NVIDIA has already released the 4070 Ti January of this year, and they have even more GPU releases in their 40-series planned for the rest of 2023’s desktop PC hardware. These upcoming graphics cards will also be powered by the RTX 40-series Ada Lovelace architecture, NVIDIA’s most advanced and efficient architecture yet, and feature DLSS 3 for improved frame rates.

NVIDIA is rumored to be preparing two more AD104 die GPUs (possibly future 4070 and 4060Ti GPU models) for production, and recently notified partners about plans to launch the 4070 in April. 4060 and 4050 GPU models may already be in development as well, based on an ECC listing filing, but this is also an early rumor. These graphics cards should offer a lower-priced entry to the 40-series line, bringing a balanced option of price and performance to their new generation of desktop PC hardware.

AMD Radeon 7000 Series GPUs, 7000 Series Non-X and X3D CPU Models

AMD has also made some big announcements at CES regarding the upcoming new CPUs of their 7000 series line.

Their Ryzen 7000 series non-X CPU models have just been released this January. These powerful processors offer high performance at a more affordable price and lower power draw (TDP) compared to their 7000X models in this line. The new Ryzen 7000 series non-X models from AMD are sure to be a hit with budget-conscious gamers looking for high-performance next-generation hardware without spending too much money. All three CPUs should deliver excellent performance for gaming. The 7700 and 7900 should perform well for streaming or multitasking with multiple applications at once.

At CES, AMD also announced three high-end 7000 X3D CPUs, which will utilize their groundbreaking 3D V-Cache and reach blazing fast clock speeds of 5.7 GHz. These processors just arrived late February 2023. V-cache tech does its magic by boosting the L3 cache capacity by 64GB with an additional SRAM chip sitting vertically on top of the CPU. This PC hardware benefit is mostly seen in gaming, not so much in productivity applications.

AMD released a powerful new GPU late last year to launch their 7000 series GPUs, and this year they are expected to add the more accessible 7600 and 7600 XT to the series lineup possibly in Q2 (April-June). There are also rumors of a flagship RDNA 3 GPU that will utilize several multi-cache dies to boost performance expected to launch in 2023. With all these exciting developments, it’s clear that AMD is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of gaming PC hardware.

Cheaper Intel 13th-Gen CPU Options and Possible Launch of 14th-Gen

Intel just expanded their 13th-Gen Raptor Lake desktop CPU lineup with new models, ranging from budget to high-end. All these new processors utilize the LGA1700 socket, feature lower power draw, are unlocked, and support DDR5 and DDR4 RAM.

The i9-13900 is a more power efficient variant of the original 13900K, and the 13900F is similar but with no integrated graphics. The i9-13900 has base and boost clock frequencies that are a bit lower than its predecessor, but only use 65 watts base and 219 watts in turbo. Intel also added an i5-13500, i3-13400F, and i3-13100F to their PC hardware lineup, with a similar theme: slightly lower clock speeds than their K and KF versions in a much more power efficient package.

Intel took efficiency to an even further level with six T series processors that will all be unlocked and come with integrated graphics processing ability. The most powerful chip in this series, the 13900T, has a maximum clock speed of 5.3 GHz, with a base power consumption of 35 watts that maxes out at only 106 watts in turbo. Base frequencies for this line are kept very low. These CPUs are all a bit cheaper than their K series predecessors.

Intel may also release its 14th-Gen Meteor Lake CPUs, and with them a more advanced 7nm manufacturing process to drive more performance. However, 14th-Gen may not make it this year, and may arrive in 2024 instead. We’ll see how things progress for Intel as the year goes on.
