AMD pulverizes Nvidia’s RTX 4090 in popular Geekbench OpenCL benchmark — but you will need a small mortgage to buy AMD’s fastest GPU ever produced
First introduced in late 2023, AMD’s Radeon Instinct MI300X accelerator has made an impressive debut on Geekbench’s OpenCL benchmark. The GPU took the top spot, thrashing all rivals, including Nvidia’s RTX 4090, which it pushed down into second place. The Radeon Instinct MI300X is built on AMD’s third-generation CDNA architecture…

Ahead of GPT-5 launch, another test shows that people cannot distinguish ChatGPT from a human in a conversation test — is it a watershed moment for AI?
Popular AI tools such as GPT-4 generate fluent, human-like text and perform so well on various language tasks it’s becoming increasingly difficult to tell if the person you’re conversing with is human or a machine. This scenario mirrors Alan Turing’s famous thought experiment, where he proposed a test to evaluate…

Robots could become much better learners thanks to ground-breaking method devised by Dyson-backed research — removing traditional complexities in teaching robots how to perform tasks will make them even more human
One of the biggest hurdles with teaching robots new skills is how to convert complex, high-dimensional data, like images from onboard RGB cameras, into actions that accomplish specific goals. Existing methods typically rely on 3D representations requiring accurate depth information, or using hierarchical predictions working with motion planners or separate…
