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: Galactic

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Happy Memorial Day everyone. In this issue: Astranis’ novel approach to GEO satellites Virgin Galactic’s return to the skies News from SpaceX, and more Astranis’ novel approach to internet satellites is starting to pay off Astranis , a satellite internet startup based in San Francisco, said Wednesday that its first spacecraft completed a milestone test and will start bringing broadband access to rural Alaskans as soon as mid-June. It’s a major step for the company, which was founded in 2015 by John Gedmark and Ryan McLinko. By taking a first principles approach to satellite development, the pair bet that they could make a smaller, cheaper spacecraft for geosynchronous orbit — the orbit farthest from Earth and arguably the most inhospitable — and use them to bring internet to millions, or even billions, of people around the globe. Their bet is paying off: The company’s first satellite, Arcturus, launched on a Falcon Heavy at the end of April. W...
