The specification nearly complete GeForce GTX 1070, to debut in a few weeks

Yesterday expired the embargo on speed performance of video cards NVIDIA GeForce 1080 GTX: find our analysis available online at this address. For the commercial debut card is set for May 27, an official list amounted to € 799.00 including VAT for the Founders Edition.

NVIDIA also prepares the debut of a second graphics card based on the GP104 Pascal GPU family: we refer to the GeForce 1070 GTX model, a proposal that will be sold starting from June 10 at a price of approximately € 520.00 tax included again for the Founders Edition. We will also custom versions developed by the partners, with retail prices that should be lower than those of the Founders Edition and presumably starting from about € 450.00 including VAT.

Change the specifications of memory, which goes into GDDR5 standard against what GDDR5X adopted by the GeForce GTX 1080. The actual clock frequency is 8 GHz, a figure higher than the actual 7 GHz GDDR5 memory combined with the GeForce GTX 900 family cards .

then GeForce 1070 GTX on the card comes with a computing power of the GPU which is lower by about 30% compared to GeForce 1080 GTX, in view of the number of CUDA cores and the clock speed boost. Slightly lower than the decrease for the memory component, that we can quantify in an approximately -20% in view of the lower bandwidth. NVIDIA claims a TDP of 150 Watts for this card, which is lower than 30 watts compared to the GeForce 1080 GTX model.

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. ...
