Not your father’s computer display
Over the years, we’ve seen an evolution in electronic computer displays in terms of shapes and sizes. From basic CRTs, to plasmas and LCDs, to LEDs, OLEDs, and more. From large, heavy devices to lightweight flat panels. From low-resolution screens of 320×200 to those of high dynamic range and resolutions of 3840×2160. From slim models, to those that swivel, lean, … Read more
Intel’s wonderful Flex AIBs
(Source: Intel) A few weeks ago, Intel rebranded the Artic Sound-M data center GPU as the Flex series. The first products introduced are the Flex Series 170 and 140—how wonderful is that?
