NVIDIA's entry-level GeForce RTX 4050 GPU has an interesting interface on laptops, making use of the M.2 interface instead of MXM. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 GPU Features M.2 Interface Instead of MXM on Certain Laptops The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 is the most entry-level graphics card that you can get within the RTX 40 "Ada" lineup on laptops. The unfortunate thing is that the RTX 4050 never came to the desktop segment despite certain manufacturers showing readiness for this particular model. Currently, the NVIDIA RTX 3050 and its derivatives serve the entry-level segment in the sub-$200 US category but there's […]

However, this shift could cost Qualcomm’s partners a hefty sum, as one tipster claims that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 will be expensive, and phone makers will have to evaluate the overall configuration of their devices to sell them at competitive prices. Tipster also mentions that Snapdragon 8 Gen 4’s wafer […]
The current stock market rally has three principal legs to stand on: a belief in "immaculate disinflation," robust macroeconomic growth, and NVIDIA's AI-driven gains. Yet, if Citi's projections pan out, one of these legs is about to give way, at least momentarily. NVIDIA is slated to announce its latest quarterly earnings on the 22nd of May, 2024. While the past few earnings disclosures have seen NVIDIA's stock post outsized gains on the back of fierce AI-related tailwinds, the upcoming event might prove to be a deviation from this bullish pattern. To wit, Citi has now published its views on NVIDIA's […]
