The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

2014 AMD A-Series APUs (Kaveri) 18.01.2014

AMD introduced the new A-series APUs for 2014. Previously known under the code name Kaveri, they are equipped with AMD Radeon R7 graphics processors. According to AMD, the new APUs "have a range of amazing benefits that will dramatically increase PC performance and make gaming even more immersive."

These include benefits such as up to 12 cores (4 CPUs and 8 GPUs) and a heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) that allows CPU and GPU cores to work in harmony, distributing tasks between relevant elements, resulting in increased performance. Kaveri also features DirectX 11.2 Graphics Core Next (GCN) GPU architecture with Mantle API, AMD TrueAudio technology (32-channel surround sound for an ideal presence and immersion) and UltraHD (4K) support. It remains to be added that the new APUs are compatible with boards with an FM2+ processor socket.

Starting today, the AMD A10-7850K and AMD A10-7700K models are on sale. The AMD A8-7600 model will be on sale in the current quarter.

The AMD A10-7850K APU price is $173, AMD A10-7700K is $152, AMD A8-7600 is $119. The A10-7850K and A10-7700K models will ship with EA Battlefield 4.

All three models have quad-core CPUs and 4MB L10 cache, while the number of GPU cores is eight for the top model and six for the other two. The base frequency of the CPU in the case of AMD A7850-3,7K is 10 GHz, AMD A7700-3,4K - 8 and AMD A7600-3,3 - 3,1 / 4,0 GHz, the maximum Turbo Core frequency is 3,8 GHz, 3,8 .3,3 GHz and 95 / 95 GHz, and the TDP value is 65, 45 and 720/XNUMX W, respectively. GPU frequency - XNUMX MHz.
