The $42,000 Nvidia H100 with 80GB of memory lost out to the iGPU Radeon 680M. Data center accelerator tested in 3DMark
Nvidia H100 is the company’s most powerful data center and AI solution. But this is not the most productive video card. This was verified by the authors of the Geekerwan channel, who were able to make the H100 work exactly like a regular video card. However, they still failed to fully load the H100.
In terms of results, the card scores only 2681 in 3DMark Time Spy, which is even lower than the iGPU Radeon 680M.
But there are several explanations for this result. First, there is simply no driver optimized for games for the H100. The accelerator does not even have video outputs, so you need to use another video card to display the image.
Secondly, the H100 has almost seven times fewer ROPs than the same RTX 4090, since it simply almost does not need ROPs for H100 tasks. Thirdly, in this particular case, the card under load consumed only about 100 W, while it could be up to 400 W in the PCIe version. This, again, is a consequence of the lack of the correct driver.
As a result, the experiment can be called partially successful, although it cannot be said that it revealed the full power of the Nvidia H100 in games.
By the way, such an accelerator in China costs about $40,000. We also recall that due to the huge demand, including for the H100, Nvidia is going to partially sacrifice gaming video cards.
New research from cybersecurity company Kasada claims resellers are using bots to pre-order iPhone 15 smartphones, ordering millions of dollars worth of goods from Apple’s website and carriers. This complicates the task for ordinary buyers and delays delivery times.
The whole situation allows resellers to profit from the initial rush of demand by reselling devices for hundreds of dollars more than the recommended retail price. Resellers have long been a problem during the iPhone launch days, going back to the iPhone 4.
As noted by Kasada, trading bots, also known as All-In-One or AIO bots, have repurposed from buying in-demand sneakers to placing orders for the iPhone 15. This is especially aggravating the situation with the most in-demand iPhone 15 Pro Max. Kasada cites the example of one of the bots that made more than 3,000 checks or orders for the iPhone 15.
AIO bots are so called because they control the entire purchasing process, from determining the availability of new products to placing them in the cart and completing the order. These “batch transactions” can take anywhere from 10 to 0.2 seconds.
As with retail sales, Apple and other companies are continually cracking down on this practice with tools designed to detect the use of bots. Resellers respond by improving their tools.
The American company OpenAI has announced the release of a useful update to its generative artificial intelligence system, ChatGPT. According to the official blog, ChatGPT can search the web for the latest information, suggesting answers from “relevant and authoritative” sources.
The search is performed in the Microsoft Bing search engine. After receiving a response from the network, the user can click on the link and check the information provided. The feature, called Browse with Bing, is currently only open to those with Plus and Enterprise subscriptions, but the company says it will soon make it available to “all users.”
As the developers note, OpenAI has lifted the temporary restriction on data – previously, ChatGPT users had access to the amount of information until September 2021. Now the ChatGPT search engine can freely search for the latest information.
As a reminder, OpenAI added the ability to browse the internet to its iOS app ChatGPT at the end of June 2023, but quickly removed it. The reason turned out to be that users quickly found a loophole – the chatbot could be “persuaded” to provide paid content by entering the full URL.

GeForce RTX 4090 is ready for Counter-Strike 2. The video card produces 543 FPS in the game
Almost immediately after the release of Counter-Strike 2, Nvidia explained what to expect in the game when using 3D cards from the GeForce RTX 40 line.
With Full HD resolution and maximum graphics settings, the flagship of the line – GeForce RTX 4090 – produces 543 FPS. Nvidia assured that the GeForce RTX 4090 in Counter-Strike 2 is 4.5 times faster than the GeForce GTX 1080 and 2.9 times faster than the GeForce RTX 2080.
At the other end is the GeForce RTX 4060, but even it provides more than 200 FPS under the same conditions. The performance gap between the GeForce RTX 4060 and GeForce RTX 4060 Ti is quite small, unlike other models in the line.
