22.03.2020

Taiwanese embedded systems maker DFI has unveiled what is probably the smallest AMD Ryzen-powered computer to date.

The device, called the DFI GHF51, measures 84x55mm, roughly the size of a Raspberry Pi. At the same time, given the components used, such a system can be quite productive, even despite its size.

The Ryzen Embedded R1000 series processor used has a TDP of 12W. It can be one of the chips: either R1505G or R1606G. They both have 2 cores (4 instruction threads are supported) and Radeon Vega graphics with 2 execution units. The system can be configured with 4GB, 8GB, or 4GB of single-channel 3200MHz DDR16 memory and 32GB, 64GB, or XNUMXGB of onboard eMMC flash.

The computer is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet network port, one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type port, two Micro HDMI 1.4 connectors, a Mini-PCIe slot, an 8-bit Digital I/O module, an SMBus controller, and a TPM 2.0 chip. The DFI GHF51 board supports Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 64-bit and Linux operating systems.

The novelty will go on sale in the third quarter of 2020.

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, ... >>

TOSHIBA SATELLITE laptops can now burn DVD-R/RW 09.03.2003

Toshiba has introduced new laptop models from the Satellite series, positioned as a replacement for desktop PCs. Relatively inexpensive machines are equipped with DVD burners.

New items are marked 2455S305 and 1955-S805 and cost respectively 2299 and 2099 US dollars. For this money, the user gets a system on a Pentium 4 processor with 512 MB of memory and a 60-gigabyte hard drive. Other components the same for both machines; NVIDIA GeForce4 420 Go video system with 32 MB video memory, V.92 modem, 10/100 Mbps network adapter from Intel, three USB 2.0 ports and one i Link (IEEE 1394). Notebooks are equipped with DVDR/RW drives. The package also includes Windows XP Home.

The differences between the models lie in the larger diagonal of the screen: the Satellite 1955-S805 has 16 inches with a resolution of SXGA (1365x1024) versus 15 inches for the Satellite 2455-S305 with a resolution of 1024x768. In addition, the processor frequency of the first is 2,53 GHz, the second - 2,4 .XNUMX GHz Both models belong to the category of inexpensive notebooks.

Previously, DVD burning in Toshiba notebooks was only available on expensive systems such as the Satellite 5205-S703. released in October 2002, the company's first mobile computer with a built-in DVD-R/RW drive.

Toshiba's pricing looks better than Apple's other PowerBook offerings, with a 15-inch screen and DVD burner for the same RAM costs $2799 (price from the company's website), and a Sony laptop that also burns DVD sells for $2500 .
