These are the first Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti from ASUS

April 11, 2017 by Lincoln Lincoln

What you see in images is the aspect of the first GTX 1080 Ti that will go on the market next March 10, by ASUS. The company will attack with two very different models in appearance: the Turbo model is the least striking, while ROG STRIX imposes more with a triple fan configuration.

We are faced with custom or customized models on what Nvidia initially introduced. The changes are mainly in the cooling systems introduced, which allows you to play with better overclocking in the latest Pascal GPU introduced in the market.

Bill Gates: “If a robot replaces the work of a human, this robot must pay taxes like a human.”

April 5, 2017 by Lincoln Lincoln

The next big revolution will be the arrival of robots to jobs, something that has already begun to happen in various regions of the world, in some companies and even in restaurants, where machines are taking control of production chains and automation Of tasks. This will mean a major change, and for example, they are already thinking about how to regulate it.

Among the voices that have given their opinion about the upcoming revolution, it is the Elon Musk who says that we should merge with the machines but want to be irrelevant. And now that of Bill Gates, who asks that robots have the same fiscal responsibilities as humans.

Tiny computer of only one cubic millimeter is so powerful that it counts on artificial intelligence

March 28, 2017 by Lincoln Lincoln

The so-called millimeter computers or micromotes are not new, have been developed for several years with the idea of pushing tiny devices for minimal energy consumption, especially for IoT devices. The University of Michigan is the one that has been in charge of investigating more thoroughly within this technology, in fact two years ago they presented us their first bet with the M ^ 3.

Today at the International Conference on Solid State Circuits of the IEEE (ISSCC), computer scientists David Blaauw and Dennis Sylvester of the University of Michigan presented the latest update to their micromote, which has significantly decreased their consumption Energetic, expanded its memory, but the most relevant is that it is now able to integrate an entire system of artificial intelligence.

SSD against hard drive: This way a notebook performance improves

March 27, 2017March 22, 2017 by Lincoln Lincoln

Improving the performance of a computer, whether desktop or laptop, directly, simply and economically, is currently replacing the traditional hard disk with an SSD. At the price we can find them currently, it is a winning solution and does not require a significant effort or outstanding payout. At least for the improvement we get in return.

Advantages of SSD vs. Hard Drive

When thinking about changing a classic hard drive by an SSD the first thing that comes to mind is the speed improvement that we will get. But it is not the only one.

With very short access times and maximum speed transfers, which allow us to run applications faster or copy / move files faster, we must add that we are talking about units based on flash memory that do not have moving parts, So they are more reliable and resistant. This causes that the falls of the equipment do not pose a risk for the own data (if the SSD is not damaged, of course).

On reliability with time and GB of writing, as we discussed in the analysis of SSD Blue WD, except in very specific cases, we will change equipment or unit before the current begins to fail.

SSDs are also silent disks in their operation, and with a very reduced consumption compared to classic HDDs, since they do not require movement of any part. With the advancement in the capacity with which we can get them without the price, difference is very large compared to classic disks and increasing reliability, there is no reason not to have an SSD in our desktop or laptop except for very specific cases.

Quadro GP100 is the latest in Nvidia for workstations 16 GB of HBM2 memory and NVLINK

March 27, 2017March 20, 2017 by Lincoln Lincoln

Well, the whole family is now converted to Pascal; if we have seen the GeForce GTX and the Titans go months ago, now it’s the turn of the Quadro. These are the graphics designed to place on workstations, so more than a mass product to play; this has a rather different destination, but no less interesting for those who follow the world.

Nvidia has presented at the SOLIDWORKS World event up to six new graphics cards, all with a professional destination, but the one that interests us most is the Quadro GP100. This unit presumes, among other things, to have 16GB of memory in HBM2 format.

The sale of tablets plummets to Microsoft’s joy, which sets the standard in convertibles

March 27, 2017March 15, 2017 by Lincoln Lincoln

The numbers do not come back to the manufacturers of tablets, which a quarter more – and nine consecutive – have fallen in sales. A new IDC study reveals how sales of such devices have fallen 20.1% from a year ago, and it does not appear that this trend can change.

The bad news is not so great for Microsoft, which has gradually gained the confidence of users with its Surface Pro, the reference convertible tablets that are stealing the wallet to the pure tablets based on both Android and iOS.

Should Laptops and Other Tech Gadgets Be Allowed in College Classrooms?

August 29, 2022March 14, 2017 by Lincoln Lincoln

The argument concerning whether or not laptops, tablets, and other technological devices should be allowed in class is a divided one. Yet, as technology advanced, an answer is becoming more and more imperative. Interestingly, several studies have yielded divergent results that have shaped public opinion on the debate in different ways.

If you are going to buy a hard drive, look out for these models they are the ones that seem to fail

March 11, 2017 by Lincoln Lincoln

The conventional hard drives offer large storage capacities with a very competitive cost price per Gbyte is clearly lower than in the case of SSDs, especially for increasing capacity, but some brands are more trouble than others.

That’s what reports backBlaze reports every year, a company that offers an online storage service and that every year studies the performance of the disks you have on your servers. Western Digital is the worst performer according to that report.
