Errata prompts Intel to disable TSX in Haswell, early Broadwell CPUs
The TSX instructions built into Intel's Haswell CPU cores haven't become widely used by everyday software just yet, but they promise to make certain types of multithreaded applications run much faster than they can today. Some of the savviest software developers are likely building TSX-enabled software right about now.
Unfortunately, that work may have to come to a halt, thanks to a bug—or "errata," as Intel prefers ...

Zotac's new GeForce GTX 750 is passively cooled
The GeForce GTX 750 is scarily power-efficient. In our testing, it drew the least power out of all the solutions in its price range, and it was a step ahead of the competition in our average power consumption vs. average FPS metric.
Nvidia's reference GeForce GTX 750 has a small heatsink and fan, but Zotac has managed to replace that cooler with a completely passive heatsink in its new GeForce ...

Research paper reveals future Nvidia GPUs
An obscure research paper detailing the use of GPU computing for radio telescopes has revealed the existence of three upcoming Nvidia GPUs. 3D Center spotted the paper (PDF), which was authored by researchers from the Institute of Space Science and Astronomy in Malta, the International Centre for Radio Stronomy Research in Australia, the University of Oxford in the UK, and Nvidia's operations in Los Angeles.
Much of the contents are way over my head, and the discussion is largely centered on how ...
