New AMD FX-series processors

04.09.2014

AMD has expanded its FX desktop processor family with new models designed for use in high-performance desktops and enthusiast systems.

A total of three FX-chips are presented: these are the FX-8370, FX-8370E and FX-8320E models with eight processing cores, which are AM3 +.

The eldest of the announced processors, FX-8370, operates at a nominal frequency of 4,0 GHz with the possibility of boosting up to 4,3 GHz using "turbo" technology. The maximum value of dissipated thermal energy (TDP) is 125 W. Estimated price - $200.

Chips FX-8370E and FX-8320E operate at a frequency of 3,3-4,3 GHz and 3,2-4,0 GHz, respectively. At the same time, their TDP is 95 watts. The price is set at $200 and $147.

All processors are equipped with a DDR3-1866 RAM controller and 8 MB of third-level cache. The unlocked multiplier makes overclocking easier.

At the same time, AMD announced price cuts for some previously released FX-series processors. Thus, the FX-9590 model fell in price from $306 to $230, and the FX-9370 version - from $224 to $211. The FX-8350 chip is now available for $180 (previously $195), while the FX-8320 is available for $147 (previously $153).

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 ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Worms against aging 06.01.2020

Scientists from the MDI Laboratory, together with scientists from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and the University of Nanjing, have discovered synergistic cellular mechanisms that increase lifespan by six times in C. elegans nematodes, which are often used as model organisms in aging research.

Such a life expectancy in worms corresponds to a human life expectancy of 400-500 years.

The study is based on the discovery of two major pathways that drive aging C. elegans, which are popular model organisms in aging research due to their many genes in common with humans, and because of their short lifespan of three to four weeks, allowing researchers to quickly assess the impact of both genetic and environmental factors on life expectancy.

The study used organisms with a double mutation: the insulin signaling pathways and TOR complexes were changed. Altering insulin signaling alone gives a 100% increase in lifespan in nematodes. A separate change to TOR is 30 percent. It was logical to assume that their combined change would give a 130% increase, but instead life expectancy increased by 500%.

The discovery of a synergistic effect in the future will allow the use of combination therapy to prolong life in the same way that various combination therapies are currently used to treat cancer or AIDS. It could also explain why scientists couldn't find a single gene responsible for longevity.
