Despite the fact that the 13th generation Intel Core processors will be released at best in the fall, at least one offer for the sale of the top-end Core i9-13900K has already appeared on the Web.

The seller asked for only $426 for the CPU, which is quite good for such a processor. Of course, you need to understand that this is an early sample, but the seller claimed that everything works and even overclocking is supported.

Unfortunately, the owner covered up all the codes, so it is impossible to determine at least some details about the CPU. The seller himself indicated that the processor has 8 large cores and 16 small ones, which corresponds to the configuration of the top Raptor Lake.

The processor was sold very quickly. Perhaps in the near future its new owner will publish some CPU tests.

The GeForce GTX 1630 graphics card may be released today, but for now, third-party manufacturers are already sharing the parameters of this adapter.

Colorful, for example, is still hiding some of the characteristics, but MSI has revealed everything. So now we are 100% sure that the new product is based on the TU117 GPU with 512 CUDA cores, that is, in any case, it is much weaker than the GTX 1650 on the same GPU, but with a large number of active CUDA cores. At the same time, it can be noted that the new CUDA cores are 21 times smaller than the RTX 3090 Ti, although such a comparison takes place simply for the sake of beautiful numbers.

The card also received 4 GB of GDDR6 memory with a frequency of 12 GHz and a 64-bit memory bus. As a result, the throughput is only 96 GB / s. For comparison, the same Radeon RX 6400 with the same bus has a figure of 128 GB / s, while the RX 6500 XT has 144 GB / s.

The GPU operates at frequencies of 1740-1785 MHz. Power consumption is declared equal to 75 W, that is, some models will do without a power connector, but the Colorful card has one.

The cards have the same set of ports: HDMI, DisplayPort and DVI.

A steep rise in the value of major cryptocurrencies triggered a cascade of events that resulted in the collapse of prices for new video cards. Many models have fallen in price, including top ones like the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti: with a recommended price of $1,200 (in the US), it is offered by the largest American retailers, Newegg and Amazon, for less than $1,000.

A small price gap between the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and the GeForce RTX 3080 with 12GB of memory has led Nvidia to suspend shipments of GPUs to partners for the latter. So wrote one of the Twitter users familiar with the situation. It is impossible to confirm or refute these words, but in general such a development of events can be considered quite probable.
