Mighty CPU rival to Intel and AMD set to shake up the market

The announcement of Amazon’s Graviton2 may well have made AMD and Intel a little nervous - Amazon is, after all, a customer of both. Now, the two companies have even greater reason to be worried.

Parisian company SiPearl recently announced it had signed a major agreement with semiconductor giant ARM. The French firm will use ARM IP (Zeus Neoverse CPU) to develop a new set of CPUs: Rhea, Chronos and another unnamed model.

The company is backed by the European Commission as part of the European Processor Initiative (EPI) project, which aims to design a high performance, low power microprocessor for Europe’s first exascale supercomputer.

Three generations of processors are expected to be delivered in four years, which is a rather ambitious timeline. SiPearl will also be heavily dependent on technology from two other French companies: Kalray and Menta.

Although SiPearl will not, for the foreseeable future, produce any consumer-focused products, its roadmap gestures towards an automotive POC (power over Coax?) and an automotive central processing unit that could be on the horizon.

So, while SiPearl won't compete just yet with the likes of Ampere’s Altra, AMD’s Epyc family or Intel’s Xeon range, it's one to keep a close eye on as Europe wrestles to build an HPC unit capable of competing with global giants.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore ...

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i...
