Nvidia's Next Generation GPUs Blackwell: Cut into Five Dies
Nvidia's upcoming Blackwell GPUs will be divided into five dies, named GB202, GB203, 5, 6, and 7. This naming is notable because the 200 series usually represents re-spins of chips that are built again to be better and faster. Additionally, the absence of a four variant, typically used for the best value GPU, raises questions. However, Nvidia has also replaced the X04 die designation with X05, leaving uncertainty about whether the higher number indicates lower performance.
Internet Archive Faces Lawsuit Over Music Preservation Efforts
The Internet Archive is being sued by a group of music labels, including Sony and UMG, over their Great 78 project which aims to preserve music recorded on 78 RPM discs. The labels argue that since the preserved songs are already available to stream, there is no need for preservation efforts. However, the Internet Archive defends these recordings as artifacts and research evidence, highlighting their historical value. This lawsuit follows a previous copyright lawsuit against the Internet Archive related to digital book availability during the pandemic, indicating ongoing challenges for the organization.
