Noctua’s latest announcement is the first official recognition of the rumored LGA2066 socket for the forthcoming X299 Basin Falls platform, which marks a departure for Intel’s HEDT platform. In the past, HEDT processors shared the same socket as the E5 Xeon server family, such as the 2011-3 socket with Broadwell-E.

It's no secret that GPUs are inherently better than CPUs for complex parallel workloads. IBM's latest collaborative effort with Stone Ridge Technology and Nvidia shined a light on the efficiency and performance gains for reservoir simulations used in oil and gas exploration. The oil and gas exploration industry operates on the cutting edge of computing due to the massive data sets and complex nature of simulations, so it is fairly common for companies to conduct technology demonstrations using the taxing workloads.

TOKYO -- Western Digital, opposing the sale of Toshiba's memory unit, has offered funds to bail out the struggling Japanese technology company.

Hooooooly graphics cards, you guys. This week, we brought you reviews on the AMD Radeon RX 580 and RX 570 graphics cards, and what followed was the resultant deluge of AIB cards. AMD announced pricing info, and off we went. Some RX 550s snuck in there as well. Sprinkled in there was a raft of Nvidia cards and related updates from third party makers, too, just for good measure, but in any case, if you’ve been waiting for some more GPU options, this week was a veritable Christmas.

ASRock released BIOS updates for its Taichi, Fatal1ty Gaming, and Pro series motherboards to support AMD's new Ryzen 5 processors. The company also announced that it has entered a strategic technology partnership with Sapphire Technology, a Hong Kong component manufacturer and supplier, to "launch cutting edge motherboard, CPU, and VGA card configurations" to offer gamers a better price-to-performance value.
