Demo technologií Nvidia (únor 2026) (Autor: Jozef Dudáš)

Our visit at Nvidia: AI game assistants and G-Sync Pulsar LCDs

Analysis, Graphics, Monitors, Technology | | Jan Olšan

Yesterday, Nvidia hosted a Central European media briefing where they showcased its latest technological developments live. Unsurprisingly, the spotlight was on innovations unveiled or launched last month at CES 2026—namely the G-Sync Pulsar technology for monitors and DLSS 4.5, both of which we have already covered in separate articles—as well as a demo of the ACE technology, which aims to bring AI-driven assistants into games.

Intel reportedly landed a deal for fabbing Nvidia’s Feynman GPU

News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

Intel needs to secure large (and numerous) external customers for its chip fabs to be able to keep them running.  So far, Intel Foundry has been generating multibillion-dollar losses every quarter—but now it may have glimpsed light at the end of the tunnel. Companies are currently looking to diversify away from their dependence on TSMC, and partly thanks to this, Intel has apparently managed to land a very important customer: Nvidia.

The future of SSDs: MSC NAND instead of PLC and HLC fragile tech?

News, SSDs, Technology | | Jan Olšan

QLC memory has caught on in SSDs, but remains a minority while TLC remains the standard. Increasing capacity by storing more bits in a single cell now appears to have run its course for now, and PLC NAND (5 bits per cell) has yet to materialize. A new approach based on so-called Multi-Site Cell layout may take over. Hynix has now presented this technology in chips that are meant to achieve PLC NAND–level capacity without its drawbacks.

DLSS 4.5 brings 6× frame generation and better image quality

Graphics, News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

Last night, Nvidia held their keynote ahead of CES 2026, which—as usually—only focused on AI, robotics and large enterprises market rather than consumer PCs and devices. Even so, the company does have something new for gamers.  The company is introducing a new generation of their AI-based game rendering—DLSS 4.5. It places even greater emphasis on interpolated frame generation, but improvements go beyond that as well. Read more “DLSS 4.5 brings 6× frame generation and better image quality” »

Explore Maker Faire 2025 with us: when technology meets creativity

Reportage, Technology | | Adam Vágner

At the Brno Exhibition Centre, Maker Faire Brno 2025 gathered hobbyists, makers, students, schools, makerspaces, and companies. Robotics, drones, 3D printing, electronics, and space research projects dominated. Visitors saw everything from ideas and prototypes to finished products. Alongside ran GameDev Connect for game development, featuring Czech studios and indie creators. Read more “Explore Maker Faire 2025 with us: when technology meets creativity” »

Material for schools: CPU and motherboard breakdown

Analysis, News, Technology | | Ľubomír Samák

From the HWCooling Techtour ’24 conference, we have materials that could be useful for educational purposes. Therefore, within this article, we are publishing a breakdown of a CPU and motherboard, the still-relevant materials that were used for printing large-format posters. We no longer have the physical copies—they have been distributed to some schools—but the digital version of these materials is also beneficial.

HWCooling Techtour ’25: Perspective of schools participating online

News, Reportage, Technology | | Ľubomír Samák

The schools that followed the conference (HWCooling Techtour) remotely also handled it excellently. If there’s anything we can be proud of in our country, it’s also what you can see in this article. It is primarily a large photo gallery capturing how the conference took place at individual schools across Slovakia. How they prepared in their own premises and participated in HWCooling Techtour ’25. Read more “HWCooling Techtour ’25: Perspective of schools participating online” »

Slovak schools “lived on” GPUs, PC Power Supplies, and…

Reportage, News, Technology | | Editors

We did it. We successfully organized the second annual HWCooling Techtour, reaching schools across our entire country. Beyond the knowledge that students (and teachers) took away from representatives of renowned companies, they also received permanent teaching aids. The students nicely demonstrated their knowledge and skills in various prepared activities. Everything is on camera and some of it is in photographs as well.

AMD got massive GPU order from OpenAI. Had to pay for it dearly

News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

In recent weeks, we’ve seen SoftBank, Nvidia, and the U.S. government pour money into Intel in exchange for a significant stake in the chip industry’s former hegemon. Now a similar scenario is playing out with AMD, albeit in a stranger form. The company has announced a contract with OpenAI that, on one hand, has AMD securing a larger slice of the AI market, but on the other, hands a substantial piece of AMD over to OpenAI.

Graphics cards, processors to cost more as TSMC raises prices

News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

In recent years, hardware has kept getting more expensive—first during the chip shortage and the pandemic, then as wafer suppliers raised prices and the cost of the newest silicon processes continued to rise. Now another markup may be coming: TSMC plans to raise prices for its advanced nodes (5nm and newer), the ones used to make today’s most in-demand hardware. That could push up prices for processors, GPUs, and even whole PCs. Read more “Graphics cards, processors to cost more as TSMC raises prices” »

Sloty PCI Express a M.2

PCI Express 7.0 finalized: Up to 256 GB/s for graphics cards

News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

This year’s Nvidia GeForce RTX 5000 and AMD Radeon RX 9000 graphics cards are the first gaming GPUs to use PCI Express 5.0 interface. However, the technology has already moved on far ahead. The PCI-SIG consortium has just completed and published the final specification for the new PCI Express 7.0 standard, which is four times faster. It also introduces a technology that replaces electrical signals with optics. Read more “PCI Express 7.0 finalized: Up to 256 GB/s for graphics cards” »

TSMC’s 1.6nm chips will be unprecedentedly expensive

News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

For a long time, Moore’s Law meant new technologies provided more transistors for the same or lower cost, as more could fit onto a chip of the same size. But in the last decade, production costs have been rising, transistors are no longer getting cheaper, and same-sized chips are costing more. And after the 2nm process, things will escalate dramatically – a single wafer will cost nearly ten times more than it did ten years ago.

Samsung’s rumored 1nm technology aims to be a „Dream Process“

News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

Intel’s ambitions to catch up with TSMC and reclaim its position in chip manufacturing are a constant topic today, but in fact it is Samsung who is currently Taiwan’s closest competitor in advanced technologies. However, even Samsung has struggled to keep pace lately, and their 1.4nm process was recently rumore to be scrapped entirely. But new reports suggest Samsung intends to stay in the race – and is working on a 1nm process. Read more “Samsung’s rumored 1nm technology aims to be a „Dream Process“” »

DXR 1.2: New tech for better ray tracing graphics performance

Graphics, News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

Ray tracing graphics, alongside upscaling and similar “more FPS” tricks, has been the main trend in games in recent years. Although ray tracing is commonly associated with Nvidia’s RTX marketing brand, it’s actually built on the DirectX API: DirectX Ray Tracing, or DXR, which launched before GeForce RTX. This technology is now getting a major upgrade to version DXR 1.2, which will bring new capabilities as well as better performance.

GlobalFoundries & UMC Eye Merger in Chip Industry Shake-Up

News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

In recent years, much attention has been on whether Intel can close the gap in cutting-edge chip technologies and become a true rival to TSMC. Samsung on the other hand already competes, the company is also facing mounting challenges, however. But a new challenger may be emerging for the Taiwanese king of silicon lithography: according to reports, GlobalFoundries and UMC may be exploring a merger to create a stronger competitor.
