When choosing a motherboard, specifications such as power delivery, PCIe support, memory speed, and connectivity usually receive the most attention. But another specification is becoming increasingly important for modern platforms: BIOS ROM capacity.
The ROM, or flash memory chip, on a motherboard stores its UEFI firmware. This firmware initializes the processor, memory, storage, graphics, and other hardware before the operating system starts. It also contains the BIOS interface and many of the configuration and compatibility components required to support different processors and system...
You're deploying a model on a system. It starts up, prompts are getting responses. Now the hard question: Is this fast?
Your instincts might lead you to send curl commands, hand-roll an asyncio script, or write yet another one-off load generator. All these approaches share the same problems: single-process performance limits, Python's GIL capping concurrency, or numbers measured against a reference you built yourself. Either way, you end up with results you can't fully trust, attached to tooling you'll have to rewrite the moment requirements change.
What you need is a load client that can...
OpenClaw has inspired hundreds of thousands of developers to run agents on their own hardware. But getting started hasn't always been straightforward—even technically experienced users spend more than 30 minutes wrestling with setup before achieving a working agent.
In June, OpenClaw launched a Windows App installer to simplify onboarding for users avoiding the terminal. Today, the company is bringing that native app experience to macOS, and making Windows setup even simpler for machines with NVIDIA RTX GPUs.

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Google have unveiled Googlebook, a new category of premium laptop designed around Google's Gemini Intelligence and powered by the Snapdragon X Elite platform. The devices deliver all-day battery life, powerful performance, and proactive AI capabilities alongside seamless cross-device connectivity with Android phones and tablets.
Googlebook laptops enable native Android applications and games to run on the devices, creating what the companies describe as a connected personal computing ecosystem. Features include Cast my Apps, Magic Pointer, and Rambler—tools...
PlayStation is expanding its collaboration with Lisa beyond last year's PS5 campaign, announcing a DualSense wireless controller – Lisa Limited Edition and a new merchandise collection designed in partnership with the artist.
Lisa's career has taken her from Thailand to Korea and into global pop culture prominence, marked by her dynamic stage presence and bold fashion approach. On the collaboration, Lisa said: “Gaming is something I do whenever I have time to relax, so getting to create this collection with PlayStation was very exciting. I had a lot of fun adding in little details...
Autoregressive decode generates one token per model forward pass, so single-request latency is bounded by how fast you can stream weights through the GPU — not by compute. Speculative decoding attacks that bottleneck by letting a small draft model propose several tokens that the large target model then verifies in a single parallel pass. We bring DFlash — a block-diffusion drafter — to AMD Instinct MI355X through vLLM on ROCm, benchmark it against Qwen3.5's built-in MTP drafter, and quantize the target model to mxfp4 to demonstrate that speculation and quantization stack.
The result: up to...
Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched on September 4, the first mainline entry in the series after a long silence, and it reached Steam's top new releases chart in its launch week. It also sets a hard floor on the PC side: Windows 11 as the minimum OS, an SSD install, and a 16GB memory baseline — machines still on Windows 10 will not run it at all.
We benchmarked five GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards in-house — the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 — at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, with DLSS 4.5 off and on, across two settings profiles and 60 logged configurations.

At IFA 2026, NVIDIA, Microsoft and their partners are unveiling faster inference capabilities and simplified tools for running AI agents locally on NVIDIA hardware. New compact NVIDIA RTX Spark Windows PCs arrive in October, offering AI enthusiasts, developers and creators local, secure agent deployment.
Simplified Local AI Support and Performance Improvements
Simplified local AI support for NVIDIA GPUs is coming to Hermes Agent, OpenClaw and Perplexity Portable Computer.
Up to 1.9x faster local inference — New llama.cpp and vLLM optimizations are available now directly through LM Studio...
Razer today announced the Tartarus V2 Pro, the next evolution of its Tartarus gaming keypad line. The device brings Razer's flagship Analog Optical Switch Gen-2 technology and 8000 Hz HyperPolling to a dedicated keypad for the first time, alongside a wrist rest designed to move with the player rather than around them.
