Newegg Announces New Website Design

From the press release:

Newegg.com, a new breed of e-marketer offering computer hardware and software, consumer electronics and communications and networking equipment from an online superstore, has performed an intense overhaul and rebuild of the company’s website. The new site offers a host of aesthetic and functional improvements designed to enhance the user experience.

A list of refined product categories and new intuitive navigation methods allow customers to perform more effective product research. Those enhancements alone are not the only things a visitor will notice. Visitors to the new site will be immediately struck by the radiant Newegg gold and orange hues as well as an intuitive website layout and design. The new look is expected to appeal even to those visitors for whom online shopping is uncharted territory.

“Newegg.com’s new website design has been rebuilt based upon our customers’ feedback,” explained Simon Hsieh, CEO of Newegg.com. “Our design, development and marketing teams have worked diligently to incorporate the wish list of features and to create an extremely user-friendly navigation that will enhance the shopping experience for both novices and pros alike. Our short-term goal was to create a place where everyone could learn about and then shop for the latest in digital convergence lifestyles.”

With enhanced Product Comparison and the newly developed Expert Opinions section (which will feature product reviews and editorial content from a variety of award-winning technology publications), the new site offers tools that make researching product alternatives among Newegg.com’s huge inventory fast and simple.

Additionally, Newegg has added new rollover and guided navigation features, category-specific advanced search tools and a new DVD store. The new Newegg.com features more than 135,000 product reviews and more than 100 product categories. Newegg.com continues to offer its broad selection of computer hardware and software, components and consumer electronics, in stock, at great prices. More than 98 percent of orders ship same day.

Newegg.com’s new website also features larger product photos, pre-order/back-order functionality, and a newly developed Item Intelligence section to help customers make informed purchasing decisions by offering pertinent information and rich media such as virtual tours and how-to videos.

“Consumers come to Newegg.com to stay current with what’s hot in technology,” said Howard Tong, Newegg.com Vice President of Marketing. “We have created a website featuring a full line of digital lifestyle product categories that will grow as our company grows, helping to elevate us far above our competition as well as further establishing the Newegg.com brand”

Newegg.com will kick off the launch with almost 100 product specials and a daily sweepstakes program that will run for the inaugural week.

This new RTX 4070 pulls off the impossible
The RTX 4070 ITX Sakura Blizzard graphics card,

I didn't think it was possible, but GPU vendor Zephyr has managed to trim the RTX 4070 down to a dual-slot card with only a single fan. The RTX 4070 is one of the best graphics cards you can buy, and although there are plenty of slim models available, we haven't seen a card that achieves the petite size that Zephyr is claiming with its new ITX Sakura Blizzard model.

Zephyr shared the new graphics card on Chinese video streaming service BiliBili over the weekend. The dimensions are extremely small, with the card measuring 172mm by 123mm by 42mm. That's small enough to fit in even the tiniest mini ITX cases (though always make sure to double-check your dimensions). For reference, Nvidia's Founder's Edition RTX 4070 measures 240mm by 110mm by 40mm, and third-party options can get much larger depending on their cooler configuration.

Logitech has announced its first piece of hardware in the VR space, a stylus that lets you draw and paint in 3D on the Meta Quest 3. The MX Ink Stylus is a familiar-looking sketching tool that works hand in hand with the Quest controller to drastically expand the capabilities of the popular Quest 3 VR headset.

The MX Ink also works with the Quest Pro and Quest 2 and supports several painting and sculpting Quest apps, including Gravity Sketch, PaintingVR, OpenBrush, ShapesXR, GestureVR, Arkio, and Engage XR. If you connect your Quest to a VR-ready PC, you can use the MX Ink Stylus with Adobe’s Substance Modeler and Elucis by Realize Medical.

AMD’s multi-chiplet GPU design might finally come true
RX 7900 XTX installed in a test bench.

An interesting AMD patent has just surfaced, and although it was filed a while back, finding it now is all the more exciting because this tech might be closer to appearing in future graphics cards. The patent describes a multi-chiplet GPU with three separate dies, which is something that could both improve performance and cut back on production costs.

In the patent, AMD refers to a GPU that's partitioned into multiple dies, which it refers to as GPU chiplets. These chiplets, or dies, can either function together as a single GPU or work as multiple GPUs in what AMD refers to as "second mode." The GPU has three modes in total, the first of which makes all the chiplets work together as a single, unified GPU. This enables it to share resources and, as Tom's Hardware says, allows the front-end die to deal with command scheduling for all the shader engine dies. This is similar to what a regular, non-chiplet GPU would do.
