The Raspberry Pi is the best known micro-computer in the world. This micro-computer, which we can get for less than $ 35, has been a real revolution in the sector of micro-computers and personal servers, because, for that price, we can have a device capable of adapting to the needs of any user, either to play (as a retro-console) as to make the functions of a NAS or home server. In addition, since its initial launch in 2012 until now, the micro-computer has improved a lot while maintaining its price. And the latest version of it is the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B +.

Today we are going to talk about the new creation of ADATA, the ADATA SR2000 that comes in two formats and that provides up to 11 TB of capacity with a speed that reaches 3.5 GB / s of both reading and writing. While it is true that, initially, these new ADATA SR2000 will be launched for the industrial environment, we must bear in mind that traditionally the company usually launches models of similar characteristics for the user’s environment on purpose, under another name and other premises, so it is expected that not long after we find new SSDs of the brand under the name of XPG, ADATA’s gaming-oriented division.

Once again, it’s time for Vega 20’s new benchmarks, AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 to be exact. It’s the first implementation of Vega architecture in a 7nm GPU. AMD has repeatedly stated that they are already testing the appropriate GPU in the lab. So far, only a Radeon  branded card is confirmed with this GPU and it can be assumed that AMD will bring a corresponding HPC variant on the market.

Shortly after Computex, Apacer announced several new Panther Rage family storage kits. At its center is the new, RGB RAM chip – Panther Rage DDR4 RGB. Visually, the new kits are based on the Panther Rage series, which includes the Panther Rage Illumination DDR4-3000. It comes with the Heatspreader with integrated Panter design as well as the plastic inserts on the top, which should remind of fangs with illuminated LEDs. However, you do not only offer a version with mainly black heatspreader. Instead, customers can choose between black with gold applications and gold.

ECS Elitegroup at Computex 2018 is pretty much about Amazon’s smart voice assistant Alexa, but it’s also about Liva’s in-house ultra-compact PCs. At the Computex stand at ECS shown there are the first Liva systems with integrated touchscreen and integrated battery. The reason: They should be able to control Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa, even away from the Android smartphone or their own echo systems. Of course, all features that Alexa offers are supported. It is possible, among other things, playing music, controlling smart home devices and of course ordering at Amazon via voice control.

ASRock was seen with five B450 boards at the Computex 2018. Some are ATX, while others are either Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX. ASRock has released at least one model for each format. In addition to three boards from the Pro series, two models of the Fatal1ty gaming series were shown as well. The B450M Pro 4 and the B450M-HDV are produced in Micro ATX format, with the Pro4 basically offering better features. The maximum RAM expansion amounts to 64 GB instead of “only” 32 GB. But even with the power supply of CPU and RAM Pro4 is the HDV slightly superior to the higher number of phases.

Intel could be on the verge of releasing an SSD with a storage capacity of up to 20 TB. The largest SSD in the chip giant’s portfolio offers significantly less capacity at 8TB, but with the help of the latest QLC NAND, this is soon to be a thing of the past. With the QLC-NAND, four bits are stored per memory cell, which simultaneously increases the storage density. This makes it possible to achieve a high capacity with a few chips.

For the anniversary of the 8086 processor, Intel is planning a Core i7-8086K with 5 GHz. There have been several indications in the past. Intel celebrates the 40th anniversary of the 8086 on June 8th, so Computex is looking forward to seeing the Core i7-8086K next week.

Samsung has introduced a new SO-DIMM, which has a capacity of 32 GB. According to Samsung, the memory is based on a 10 nm class process technology – the manufacturer does not elaborate on this. At 10-nm class is a process node with 10 to 19 nm. The previous chips each having 8 Gbit capacity Samsung made in 18 nm, the new 16-Gb chips will have experienced a small Shrink.

In the past days and weeks, there was a lot of talk about Intel’s problems with the next production step in 10 nm. Just recently, Intel had to admit again that it has manufacturing issues at 10 nm and that mass production for desktop and server processors must be postponed again and is now scheduled for sometime in 2019. At yesterday’s 2018 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich had to answer some awkward questions. With the  Core i3-8121U a first processor in small series in 10 nm is manufactured, but this is missing on a working graphics unit and so should the also  emergent Core m3-8114Y be the first fully functioning desktop processor from this production.
