Intel Alder Lake (Core 12) processors have potential problems with many games
Intel has recently published a software developer guide highlighting the architecture features of Alder Lake processors (12th Gen Core). And there was a pretty interesting point about gaming: it turns out that Alder Lake has DRM compatibility issues. They are supposed to be solved from two sides: from Intel and from the side of game developers (by releasing patches).
If your existing or future game uses DRM middleware, you can contact the middleware vendor to confirm that it supports hybrid architectures in general and the future Intel Alder Lake platform in particular. The nature of modern DRM algorithms is such that they can identify the CPU, so they should be aware of the upcoming hybrid platforms. Intel is working with leading DRM vendors like Denuvo to ensure their solutions support new platforms.

Many (if not all) modern AAA games are DRM protected in one form or another. Intel has highlighted the Denuvo algorithm, but most likely support for others, such as VMProtect or SecuROM, will also require the release of corresponding patches. Interestingly, gamers are switching to new platforms due to their higher performance, but in the case of Alder Lake, it may not be available out of the box, as it will take time to release patches. So some games on Alder Lake may not work right away.

Among the Radeon RX 7900 and GeForce RTX 40, there is no such offer. Radeon RX 6950 XT sells for just $656
All the latest news regarding the reduction in the price of AMD video cards concerned the latest RX 7900 models. Meanwhile, the previous generation sometimes looks more attractive. For example, the Radeon RX 6950 XT is currently on sale for just $656!
Apparently, this is the lowest price (or one of the lowest) for such an adapter since the release. Recall that the RX 6950 XT initially started at $1,100.
For $ 656 they give the XFX Speedster Merc 319. But this is in the USA, that is, the price is excluding taxes. In Europe, the cheapest option already with taxes is given for 720 euros, and this is the Sapphire Nitro card.
According to AMD itself, the RX 7900 XT is only 5-7% faster than the RX 6950 XT. At the same time, the cheapest RX 7900 XT will now cost $ 800. The GeForce RTX 40 line also does not offer similar price-performance ratios, since the RTX 4070 Ti will cost at least the same $ 800.

SSD prices will continue to fall. Analysts predict further price cuts for NAND-based products
Prices for NAND flash products have not yet bottomed out and may continue to fall. TrendForce analysts say that the average selling price of drives in the second quarter may decrease by another 5-10% relative to current values. At the same time, prices for the memory itself will no longer fall.
Analysts note that prices continue to fall, despite the fact that memory suppliers reduce production volumes. The reasons are that there is still an excess of such memory in the market, because the demand for products such as servers, smartphones and laptops is still too weak. Analysts expect prices to recover in the fourth quarter, but only if demand for devices remains stable.
Analysts expect the largest decline in the segment of eMMC and UFS drives in the mobile device market and in the corporate market.

The rarest GeForce RTX 4090? Colorful RTX 4090 iGame LAB graphics card unveiled, limited to 300 units
Colorful introduced the RTX 4090 iGame LAB video card, which the manufacturer itself positions as an overclocking solution. And this model may be of interest to collectors, as only 300 copies will be produced.
The RTX 4090 iGame LAB stands out for its white color, large swivel screen, but, despite its positioning, it has only one 12VHPWR power connector and a power limit of 515 W, which is far from a record for the RTX 4090.
There is no data on the power subsystem, but judging by the photo, we are talking about more than 20 phases. Price data is not yet available.
