Digikam logo overlaid on screenshots that are blurred.You don’t need to be a professional photographer (protographer?) to find photo management software digiKam helpful, as the canny crop of new “AI” powered features on offer in the latest release proves. Note: this is a news item covering what’s new in the digiKam 8.7.0 specifically. It is not an introduction, recap, or guide to everything this app can do (i.e., import, manage, tag, edit and share photos, images and RAW files). The new digiKam 8.7.0 release adds several new features, settings and fixes, though the bulk of them focus on improving the software’s algorithmically-assistive offerings. There’s a new plugin […]

Performance & Power Of The Low-Cost EPYC 4005 "Grado" vs. Original EPYC 7601 Zen 1 Flagship CPU

For those on very long server upgrade cycles, typically just running the hardware until failure or consider buying second-hand servers that are generations old for lower up-front cost, today's unique article is for you with quantifying a first-generation EPYC server compared to today's entry-level EPYC processors in performance and power efficiency. With the fascinating AMD EPYC 4005 "Grado" budget-friendly server processors I was curious how well they would stack up against AMD's original flagship EPYC processor, the AMD EPYC 7601 "Naples" processor from the Zen 1 era. Can an entry-level brand new Grado server processor with dual channel DDR5 memory outpace an original EPYC server with twice the core/thread counts and eight channel DDR4 server memory? Yes, with huge gains in performance and power efficiency.
