Will this revolutionize Intel in the processor market? Alder Lake will offer 2x the performance in multi-threaded mode
Intel Alder Lake processors are due out late this year or early next. These will be very unusual CPUs for a variety of reasons, and will also be Intel’s first 10nm processors for the desktop segment.
Intel official slides have leaked online today revealing some new details about the Alder Lake line.
Let’s start with what Intel says about a 20 percent increase in single-threaded performance for the new Golden Cove architecture. Recall that the large cores of Alder Lake will be based on it. However, the problem is that it is not clear against which CPUs this gain is measured. The starting point can be either Rocket Lake or Tiger Lake, but these are still CPUs with different architectures.
In multi-threaded mode, Intel promises a twofold increase in performance. On the one hand, Alder Lake will have up to 16 cores instead of eight for Rocket Lake. On the other hand, half of the cores in this case will be based on the Gracemont architecture, that is, these are energy efficient and not the most productive cores.
By the way, the slide itself confirms the maximum configuration of eight large and eight small nuclei. There you can also see GPU Xe-LP, DDR5 support along with DDR4 and PCIe 5.0.
The source also says that Alder Lake desktop CPUs will support either DDR5-4800 or DDR4-3200 RAM. Apparently, only the Z690 chipset will support the new memory, while the rest will be content with supporting the old RAM.
The new chipsets will only support PCIe 4.0, while the CPUs themselves will have up to 16 PCIe 5.0 lanes and 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes.

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.
