Nvidia’s $3,000 dual-GPU Titan Z graphics card may hit the market May 28

Add as a preferred source on Google

According to Videocardz.com, Nvidia will finally release its dual-GPU Titan Z graphics card next week, on May 28.

Initially, the Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan Z was supposed to be released on April 29, but its launch was pushed back to May 8, and it missed that date as well.

Spearheaded by a pair of Kepler GPUs, 12GB of RAM, and 5,760 processing cores, the Titan Z will likely require a beastly cooling setup to prevent it from melting your rig.

Though it’s unclear what speed the Titan Z ‘sGPUs will run at, we at least have a point of comparison to work with. Nvidia’s Titan Black, which uses the same Kepler GPU that will be stuffed in the Titan Z, has a rated clock speed of 889MHz. To give you an idea of what the Titan Z’s performance could be like, the $1,000 Titan Black – which is a monster in its own right – has half the RAM and processing cores. Just think: two Titan Black cards, functioning as one.

Will the third time be the charm? We only have to wait less than a week to find out. Even if it does see the light of day, we’re unsure how the Titan Z will fare in the dual-GPU high-end graphics card market, considering that the AMD Radeon R9 295X2, which we reviewed, likely offers similar performance at half the price ($1,500).

ChatGPT is coming for one of Google’s smartest Chrome features
OpenAI brings ChatGPT to Chrome to challenge Google's Gemini Side Panel
OpenAI

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT beyond its website with the launch of a new Chrome extension that can understand the contents of the webpage you're viewing. The extension allows users to ask questions about a page, summarize articles, explain complex concepts, and even kick off longer AI-powered tasks without leaving their browser.

The move positions ChatGPT as a direct competitor to Google's Gemini in Chrome, which introduced similar context-aware browsing features earlier this year. While both tools aim to bring AI directly into web browsing, they take slightly different approaches to productivity and automation.

This open-source Mac app finds the junk files your deleted apps leave behind
Uninstally removes apps properly, leftovers and all
Uninstally macOS app UI

Uninstalling apps on macOS is usually very easy. You drag an app to the Trash, empty it, and move on. The annoying part is that many apps still leave residue behind, including support files, caches, preferences, containers, and logs. I have always found that frustrating, especially when old app data keeps sitting around long after the app itself is gone.

AppCleaner by FreeMacSoft has been the popular go-to option for this for years, and it still does the job well. But I recently came across a new open-source alternative called Uninstally by Codenta, which solves the same basic problem. It removes Mac apps along with the support files, caches, preferences, containers, logs, and other leftovers they usually leave behind.

AMD just made Ryzen laptop chips even more confusing, but here’s what’s actually new
The refreshed lineup brings more Zen 4 processors to mainstream and budget laptops.
AMD Ryzen 100 and 200 series

AMD has quietly expanded its mobile processor portfolio with 11 new Ryzen laptop processors, adding fresh models under both the Ryzen 200 and Ryzen 100 families. While that sounds straightforward enough, the bigger story isn't the chips themselves -- it's AMD's increasingly confusing naming strategy. The company has introduced seven new Ryzen 200 processors alongside four new Ryzen 100 models, but despite belonging to different series, many of them are actually built on the same Hawk Point silicon featuring Zen 4 CPU cores and RDNA 3 integrated graphics.
