A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Since I’m currently looking into 200S Boost again for various reasons, I came across this fantastic German translation. "Die" (Die-2-Die) can be translated to "Stirb" in German which means "death" or "pass away". So it's a Death-to-Death-Interface. 080

A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 11/03/2026Core Ultra 7 270K Plus vs Core Ultra 7 265K Core Ultra 5 250K Plus vs Core Ultra 5 245K But be careful: Plus SKUs did use DDR5-7200 while the non refresh SKUs did use DDR5-6400. It's legit in terms of MC verification, but keep it in mind when seeing these numbers. 060

A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 06/03/2026These are tools, that should not really exist, but for certain reasons, in some cases there is at least a desire to use them. We had a look at the Aqua Computer Ampinel and Thermal Grizzly WireView Pro II – do show the features and limitations: www.hardwareluxx.de/index.php/ar... 050
A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 03/03/2026So we now have the Compute Tile (Intel 18A, first wafer) and Base Tile (Intel 3, second wafer), but we are still missing the I/O Tile (Intel 7) for Clearwater Forest. 040
A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 02/03/2026#Ampinel by #AquaComputer working hard to balance a faulty 12V-2x6 cable at 600 watts. You can see how the MOSFETs of the balancing electronics are increasing the electrical resistance to regulate inequalities to a certain degree. 040
A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Intel just released some new wafer shots of Xeon 6+ aka Clearwater Forest with a different esthetic compared to what we have seen before. Thats presumably because more metal layers are present to this one? 150
A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 02/03/2026AMD PR gave the answer a little later. There are also non-PRO SKUs. 040
A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Ryzen AI PRO 400 is not only limited to the PRO segment with regard to the target group, but also in terms of the number of CPU cores and CUs. But there are still renderings without the "PRO" naming floating around with this announcement. So there is still hope for a 8000G successor. 040
A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Like Samsung with Fab P5, SK Hynix is also planing a three story cleanroom structural framing that fits up to six cleanrooms in one building of the Yongin semiconductor cluster.

A. Schilling @aschilling.bsky.social · 23/02/2026It's a crazy story, even if it's limited to the german market.
