Yesterday, bitcoin rose to $28,000, while the last time the price of the main cryptocurrency was above this mark on June 12 last year.

Today, the main cryptocurrency continues to rise in price: at the time of publication of the note, the rate is $28,250. In a day, bitcoin has risen in price by 4.3%, and in a week the increase was almost 30%. The market capitalization of the coin is $544 billion.

Ether is worth $1,783, while the top altcoin’s market capitalization increased by 13.23% over the week to $218 billion.

Along with them, other cryptocurrencies are also becoming more expensive.

Gigabyte has confirmed the memory capacity of the yet unreleased GeForce RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 video cards. The corresponding adapters have been added to the list of supported ones in the Gigabyte Control Center software.

In particular, it lists RTX 4070 Aero OC 12GB and RTX 4060 Gaming OC 8GB. That is, the older novelty will receive 12 GB of memory, and the younger one will be limited to 8 GB. In the second case, this is quite interesting, since the original RTX 3060 is equipped with 12 GB.

All early data said the same thing. If they are otherwise correct, the RTX 4070 will have 5888 CUDA cores and a 192-bit memory bus, while the RTX 4060 will offer 3072 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory bus.

Details about the Intel processors that will replace the recently released Sapphire Rapids have appeared on the Web. The new generation will be called Granite Rapids and will indeed be completely new.

These CPUs will switch to the Intel 4 process technology, as well as the new Redwood Cove architecture. As in the case of Sapphire Rapids, only large cores will be included in the configuration of new products. But the most impressive is TDP up to 500W!

Recall that Sapphire Rapids in the face of the 56-core Xeon W9-3495X at a TDP of 350 W can consume up to 600 W of power without overclocking, and with extreme overclocking, consumption can reach almost 2 kW! If the new Granite Rapids have a TDP of 500W, what will be their actual power consumption?

As for the rest, we know about a 12-channel DDR5 memory controller and an LGA 7529 socket. Sierra Forest-AP processors will have the same performance, which will include only small cores.

The insider YuuKi_AnS, who shared the data, was the first to publish a photo of the Sapphire Rapids processor without a cover two years ago, and recently he was the first to reveal the characteristics of the Xeon CPU Max line.
