G.Skill explains how AMD EXPO ULL unlocks additional performance — expanded profiles allow memory makers to include subtiming tweaks for the first time

G.Skill showcased new memory kits at Computex with AMD's EXPO Ultra Low Latency (ULL) support, aiming to reduce memory latencies for improved CPU performance. The EXPO ULL program allows memory makers to adjust sub-timings within primary timings for lower latencies, enhancing memory performance. While faster memory speeds above 6000 MT/s can add latency on AMD platforms, EXPO ULL kits aim to optimize latency without the need for manual adjustments. These kits require stricter binning during production, potentially making them more expensive but appealing to gamers seeking optimal CPU-bound gaming performance.

Unreleased RTX 3050 Ti engineering sample appears in photos and benchmarks — the RTX 3060 alternative that never happened

An unreleased engineering sample of the RTX 3050 Ti, a desktop version of Nvidia's graphics card, has been spotted in photos and benchmarks. The card, utilizing the GA106 silicon, falls between the RTX 3050 and RTX 3060 in terms of performance. With 26 SMs active, it features 3,328 CUDA cores and offers a balance between performance and power efficiency. Benchmark results show the RTX 3050 Ti potentially being up to 22% faster than the RTX 3050 but up to 13% slower than the RTX 3060. Despite not being released, the RTX 3050 Ti could have been priced around $289, filling a gap in Nvidia's mid-range lineup.
