Debuts the first Asus motherboard ROG Strix family

Asus announced the first motherboard of the family ROG Strix brand that we saw a few weeks ago combined with a gaming notebook the next market debut. The Taiwanese company's strategy is even clearer now: match to the products of the ROG family Republic of Gamers, even a new line with Strix brand that could represent a family of more affordable products by price as still positioned in the high-end segment the market.

The new card is called STRIC X99 ROG Gaming and as the name clearly suggests is based on the Intel X99 chipset, combined then socket 2011-v3 for new Intel processors Broadwell-E family to debut in the coming weeks.

The card provides a particularly rich accessory equipment, with 4 PCI Express 16x mechanical slot flanked by two PCI Express 1x slot. The SupremeFX audio subsystem is already seen in other Asus products, while the Gigabit network adapter is supported by a WiFi with MU-MIMO support. The onboard storage provides device support SATA alongside those M.2, SATA Express and U.2 plus the ability to manage connections with USB devices even in the 3.1 standard.

Do not miss the opportunity to configure the LEDs on the PCB, as well as change the lighting of the card depending on what other components are installed and the user's personal preferences. Card has been announced for the moment only, no specific information on price and availability. It 'plausible that this product will find in Computex Taipei 2016, in less than three weeks, the showcase of launch to the public.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Anomalous

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Last week wasn’t the most successful for spaceflight missions. We’ll get into that a bit more below. In this issue: First up, a botched launch from Virgin Orbit… …followed by one from ABL Space Systems News from Rocket Lab, World View and more Virgin Orbit’s botched launch highlights shaky financial future After Virgin Orbit’s launch failure last Monday, during which the mission experienced an  “anomaly” that prevented the rocket from reaching orbit, I went back over the company’s financials — and things aren’t looking good. For Virgin Orbit, this year has likely been completely turned on its head. The company was aiming for three launches this year, but everything will remain grounded until the cause of the anomaly has been identified and resolved. It’s unclear how long that will take, but likely at least three months. Add this delay to Virgin’s dwindling cash reserves and you have a foundation that’s suddenly much shakier than before. ...
