Video cards against artificial intelligence. Testing shows how good modern adapters are at Stable Diffusion
We know how good certain graphics cards are in games and even various video processing applications. But our colleagues from the resource Tom’s Hardware decided to check how the adapters will show themselves in today’s popular tasks of accelerating AI.
For testing, the authors used the Stable Diffusion application, which can create images from a text description. This software was chosen because it can be installed and run directly on a PC.
As you can see, the latest GeForce RTX 40 3D cards are the best at these tasks, which is not surprising given both the use of CUDA and the presence of dedicated tensor cores in Nvidia cards, although it is actually difficult to say whether they are used in this software.
The results of the new AMD Radeon RX 7900 are more interesting. Their results in comparison with Nvidia cards are worse than in games, but still very high overall. And they are especially impressive against the backdrop of the terrible results of the RX 6000 line.
However, here it is worth clarifying a number of points. The fact is that if you look at third-party news that was written on the basis of the source material immediately after the release, you can see a completely different diagram.
We can see significantly lower results for the RTX 40 and slightly lower results for the RX 7900. The bottom line is that initially they were like that, but then the authors got hold of various fixes with optimizations for these accelerators.
That is, we can conclude that the work of such software is very dependent on optimization. For example, it is not yet available for Intel cards, which is why they are much inferior to competitors.

Screen replacement up to $760, motherboard replacement up to $880. Named the cost of spare parts for Huawei P60, P60 Pro and Mate X3
Yesterday, Huawei officially unveiled the flagships P60, P60 Pro, P60 Art and Mate X3, and today a price list for repair parts for these models has appeared. Prices are unlikely to surprise, unless we are talking about replacing key components.
When it comes to the screen, the Mate X3’s internal display will cost the most to replace, with the screen alone costing $760, not to mention labor fees. Screens for the P60, P60 Pro, and P60 Art are cheaper at $335, $365, and $395, respectively. It is noteworthy that the displays of these models are exactly the same.
The price of the motherboard for Huawei P60 is $445, for Huawei P60 Pro it is already $630, and for Huawei P60 Art it is even $880. Even for the Mate X3, the motherboard is cheaper at $760.
The cost of other components is lower: the back cover is $55-85, the telephoto module is $85-120, the USB-C port is up to $22.

But Intel only managed to release competitors for the Threadripper 5000. Asus confirms that the Ryzen Threadripper 7000 will be released in the second half of the year
AMD is indeed going to launch Ryzen Threadripper 7000 processors in the second half of this year. Previously, these were just rumors and leaks, and now this was announced by an Asus representative.
Interestingly, he mentioned this in a video demonstrating the work of the Intel Sapphire Rapids WS platform, the processors of which are currently competing with the Threadripper 5000, but soon they will have to compete with the Threadripper 7000.
Threadripper 7000 will switch to a new socket and a new Zen 4 architecture. This will bring them support for DDR5 memory, probably PCIe 5.0 interface. In addition, the top-end Threadripper 7000s are expected to be 96-core, just like their sister Epyc Genoa.

JetStream are back. Palit GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti JetStream graphics cards unveiled – and they have one notable difference from the competition
Palit returns to the production of JetStream video cards. More than two years after the release of the GeForce RTX 3070 JetStream, the company introduced the GeForce RTX 4080 and 4070 Ti JetStream. These models differ from analogues in the absence of RGB backlighting.
At one time, manufacturers of various hardware were so carried away by the introduction of backlighting into everything that is possible that now its absence is already perceived as a “trick”. On the other hand, the frequencies here are completely standard, and from this point of view, the lack of backlight is more of a savings factor.
Video cards look almost the same – and rather modestly. However, they are long – 329 mm (after all, there are three fans) and rather thick (they take up 3.1 slots). It is possible that dual-fan models will also appear in the JetStream series, but already based on the GeForce RTX 4070 or GeForce RTX 4060. The cost of new products has not yet been announced.
