Folding@home's software on a Covid-19 benchmark.

The Folding@home project gains CUDA support, potentially speeding it up on NVIDIA GPUs by about 30%

Folding@home has developed software that makes the complex process of protein structure analysis crowd-sourced. Accordingly, it benefits from the "spare" GPU power of its contributors' PCs. Furthermore, its software now has CUDA support, which may allow it and the Covid-19 research it feeds into to get much faster.

AMD Zen 3 Vermeer Ryzen 7 3800X can potentially take the Intel Core i9-10900K head-on in gaming. (Image Source: AMD)

Zen 3 Vermeer could finally end AMD's woes in gaming: Ryzen 7 5800X is 17% faster than the Core i9-10900K in AoTS at 4K and 60% faster than the Ryzen 7 3800X at 1080p

Initial Ashes of the Singularity benchmark leaks show the upcoming AMD Ryzen 7 5800X offering excellent performance gains over both the Ryzen 7 3800X and the Intel Core i9-10900K. The results indicate that Zen 3 Vermeer may alleviate a lot of the CPU bottlenecking concerns that have plagued AMD processors to date.
